SAT 高頻詞匯 7--eligible 和 legible

08-26

Jane Austin 的 North anger Abbey 中的一句話,如下:

They saw nothing of Mr. Allen; and after looking about them in vain for a more eligible situation, were obliged to sit down at the end of a table, at which a large party were already placed, without having anything to do there, or anybody to speak to, except each other.

eligible 為合意的,這裡用於形容 situation。其實更多情況下會用來形容人,兩種用法:

1 ) 意為 qualified, able, 有資格的,有能力的。eg. He is eligible to vote.

2 ) 意為 suitable, ( 形容作為結婚對象 ) 合適的,中意的。eg. He is the most eligible bachelor in China.

2016 年 5 月北美真題,文學類閱讀篇章 William Maxwell 的 The Folded Leaf 中有如下句子:

Blank pages front and back were filled in with maps, drawings, dates, comic cartoons, and organs of the body; also with names and messages no longer clear and never absolutelylegible.

legible 意為清楚易讀的,clear enough to read.
