Denying what he said earlier, the prisoner's statement was ________ the one he had made earlier. (A) contradictory to (B) contradictory (C) comparing to (D) likelihood to
這個句子開頭的 "Denying what he said earlier" 說明囚犯否認了他先前說的話,這意味著他現在的陳述與他先前的陳述是互相矛盾或相反的。空格處需要填入一個詞語或片語來描述囚犯當前的陳述和他先前的陳述之間的關係。
否認了他先前所說的話,囚犯的陳述與他先前所做的陳述相矛盾。
(A) contradictory to: "Contradictory" 的意思是「矛盾的、相反的」。片語 "contradictory to something" 是一個標準的表達方式,意思是「與某事物相矛盾」或「與某事物相反」。將這個片語填入句子,"the prisoner's statement was contradictory to the one he had made earlier" 意思就是「囚犯的陳述與他先前所做的陳述相矛盾」。這完全符合句子開頭「否認他先前所說的話」所暗示的語意。
(B) contradictory: "Contradictory" 是一個形容詞。如果只填入這個詞,句子會變成 "the prisoner's statement was contradictory the one he had made earlier"。在文法上,形容詞 "contradictory" 需要一個介詞(例如 "to")來連接它所形容的對象(statement)和與之矛盾的對象(the one he had made earlier)。單獨的 "contradictory" 無法建立這種關係。
(C) comparing to: "Comparing to" 的意思是「與...比較」。雖然囚犯的兩個陳述可以被拿來比較,但句子的重點不在於「比較」,而是在於比較後發現它們是「矛盾」的。此外,常用且更自然的介詞片語是 "compared to" 或 "comparing with"。
(D) likelihood to: "Likelihood" 的意思是「可能性」。"likelihood to" 不是一個標準的英文片語,而且語意上與句子想表達的「矛盾」關係完全不符。
