  〔課文解析〕
　　
  Paragraph 1 
  It was a dark autumn night. An old banker was pacing back and forth in his study, 1[recalling] a party from fifteen years 2[earlier]. 3[At one point] at that party, he and his guests began debating 4[which would be the worse fate]: the death penalty or life imprisonment. The banker believed 5[that] 6[being locked away for life] was a 7[much] crueler punishment, so he argued that he would choose death 8[without hesitation]. 
  那是一個黑暗的秋夜。一位年邁的銀行家在書房裡來回踱步，回想起十五年前的一場宴會。在宴會的某個時刻，他與賓客們開始辯論哪一種命運比較悲慘：死刑還是無期徒刑。銀行家認為，終身監禁才是更加殘酷的懲罰，因此他主張自己會毫不猶豫地選擇死刑。 
　　
  [1]recalling a party from fifteen years earlier 是由對等子句簡化而來的分詞構句，原句為：..., and he recalled a party from fifteen years earlier.，recalled 為主動語態，故簡化後須改為現在分詞。 
  *Christine 加入了志工計畫，希望能為自己的社區帶來改變。 
  Christine joined the volunteer program, ---- to make a difference in her community.
　　 
  [2]「一段時間 + earlier/before/previously」表示從「過去某個時間點」再往回推一段時間；而「一段時間 + ago」則表示從「現在的時間點」往回推一段時間。 
  *去年那位科學家發現了一些筆記，記錄的是十年前進行的一次失敗實驗。 
  Last year the scientist discovered some notes from a failed experiment that had been conducted ten years ----.（實驗發生在距離現在十一年前） 
  *三年前，我搬到這座城市，並開始在一家小型設計公司工作。 
  I moved to this city and started working at a small design company three years ----.（搬家和開始工作發生在距離現在三年前） 
　　
  [3]at one point  一度；曾經 
  *在這位知名女演員的職涯中有一度曾考慮退出演藝圈，搬到一個小鎮生活。 
  * ---- ---- ---- in her career, the well-known actress considered quitting acting and moving to a small town.
　　
  [4]which would be the worse fate 是由 which 引導的名詞子句，作 debating 的受詞。which 表示「哪一個」，具有在一定範圍的人事物內作出選擇的意味，而此處所要選擇的對象是後面的the death penalty or life imprisonment。 
  *沒有人能理解Frank為何如此突然決定離開公司。 
  Nobody could understand ---- Frank decided to leave the company so suddenly. 
p.3   
  [5]that being locked away...punishment 是由 that 引導的名詞子句，作 believed 的受詞，在此用法中，that可以省略。 
  *科學家相信氣候變遷將大幅影響我們未來的環境。 
  Scientists believe ---- climate change will greatly affect our future environment. 
　　
  [6]being locked away for life 是動名詞（V-ing）片語，作主詞時視為單數，因此要搭配單數動詞。 
  *根據專家的說法，規律散步是提升健康的好方法。 
  According to experts, ---- regular walks ---- a great way to improve your health. 
　　                
  [7]much 是程度副詞，表示「更加......」、「......得多」的意思，用來修飾比較級，具有強調作用。具有相同功能的程度副詞包括第七段第三句的far，還有a lot、even、still等。 
  *令我驚訝的是，這部電影比我預期的好太多，特別是那個感人的結尾。 
  To my surprise, the movie is ---- ---- than I expected, especially the emotional ending. 
　　
  [8] without hesitation  毫不猶豫地 
  *當那個孩子掉進河裡時，那名男子毫不猶豫地跳下去救她。 
  When the child fell into the river, the man jumped in ---- ---- to save her.

  1. Lena 望著她尚未完成的畫作，[感到]不確定這幅作品的發展方向。這幅畫的靈感來自於兩年[之前]她造訪過的一個寧靜山村的回憶。在旅行中，她[曾經]坐在湖邊好幾個小時，[看著]雲朵飄移、時間緩慢流逝。她常常思考[為什麼]這樣一個簡單的時刻可以如此深刻地留在心中。受到那個想法的激勵，她拿起畫筆，帶著全新的目標繼續創作。 
  Lena stared at her unfinished painting, ---- unsure about the direction it was heading.  
  The piece was inspired by a memory from two years ---- when she had visited a peaceful mountain village. ---- ---- ---- during her trip, she had sat by a lake for hours, ---- clouds drift and time slow down. She often wondered ---- such a simple moment could stay with her for so long. Encouraged by that thought, she picked up her brush and continued to paint with a renewed sense of purpose.

  2. 在危機中[幫助]他人需要（take）同時具備愛心與行動力。上週五，一名學生在自助餐廳發現同學噎到。他[毫不猶豫地]採取行動，施行了他在健康教育課學過的哈姆立克法。大家一致[同意]，他的勇敢救了一條性命。老師事後說，他比大多數成人都要[冷靜得多]。 
  ---- others during a crisis ---- both heart and action. Last Friday, a student noticed a classmate choking in the cafeteria. He reacted ---- ----, performing the Heimlich maneuver he had learned in health education class. Everyone ---- ---- his bravery had saved a life. The teacher later said he was ---- ---- than most adults would have been. 
　　
  Paragraphs 2--4 
  A young lawyer, however, disagreed. 9[As terrible as life in prison would be], he 10[would rather] live than die. To him, life was far 11[too] precious [to] lose 12[under any conditions]. The debate 13[grew] more heated, and the banker 14[proposed that the lawyer prove his claim]. 
  “I’d bet you two million rubles you wouldn’t last five years alone in prison!” 
  “15[If] you’re quite serious,” said the young man, “then 16[I insist we] 17[make it fifteen]!” 
  然而，一位年輕的律師並不同意。儘管在監獄中的生活會非常可怕，他仍寧願活著，也不願選擇死
  亡。對他來說，生命在任何情況下都太過珍貴，不應輕易失去。辯論變得越來越激烈，銀行家便提議律
  師用實際行動證明自己的主張。 
  「我敢打賭兩百萬盧布，你一個人過監禁生活絕對撐不過五年！」 
  「如果你是認真的，」年輕人回應道，「那我堅持把期限延長到十五年！」
　　 
  [9]本句為（As +） adj./adv. + as + S + V, S + V....的句型，意為「儘管......」、「雖然......」，用來表示雖然前面的敘述為真，但後面卻出現與預期不同的情況。此為本課句型，詳細解說請見【句型開講】說明。

  （2）在這兩種情況下，主要子句也可用現在式： 
    （a）表達普遍真理或既成事實

  Paragraphs 5--6 
  Thus, an outrageous bet was made. 18[Locked up] in a cabin on the banker’s property, the lawyer began serving his sentence. His only contact with the outside world was through a small window. He was free to request anything he desired, such as wine, tobacco, and musical instruments. And yet, 19[as comfortable as his life was], he felt terribly lonely. 
p.7
  As time wore on, the lawyer realized that material pleasures could not fill the emptiness in his heart. 20[As a result], he turned away from entertainment and searched deeper for other sources of support and company. Books became his companions and his means of mental escape. Then, 21[from the sixth year on], he showed a huge 22[appetite for] inner growth and self-discipline, devouring everything from history to philosophy around the clock. In just four years, hundreds of volumes passed through the window. 
  就這樣，一場荒唐的賭局展開了。被關在銀行家莊園裡的一間小屋中，律師開始服刑。他與外界唯一的聯繫，是透過一扇小窗。他可以隨意索取任何想要的東西，例如酒、菸草與樂器。然而，即使生活頗為舒適，他仍感到極度孤單。 
  隨著時間流逝，律師漸漸意識到，物質的享樂無法填補他內心的空虛。因此，他遠離娛樂，開始更加深入探尋其他支撐與陪伴的來源。書籍成了他的同伴，也是他心靈逃脫的途徑。然後，從第六年開始，他展現出對於內在成長與自律的強烈渴望，夜以繼日地不停閱讀從歷史到哲學等所有書籍。就在短短的四年間，數百本書透過那扇小窗送了進來。 
　　
  [18]Locked up in a cabin on the banker’s property 是由副詞子句簡化而來的分詞構句，原句為 After the lawyer was locked up in a cabin on the banker’s property, ....，was locked up 為被動語態，故簡化後須保留過去分詞。 
  *由於受到颱風破壞，這座老橋為了安全起見而被封閉。 
  ---- by the typhoon, the old bridge was closed for safety reasons.

  The teacher made a new rule, and ---- ---- ----, no one is allowed to use phones in class. 
　　
  [22]a（n）...appetite for sth.表「對某事物的渴望」。appetite 的本意是「食慾」，但在此可引申為「對某件事的熱情或渴望」，並且可以在前面搭配形容詞加以修飾，如：huge（強烈的）、growing（日益增長的）、endless（無盡的）等。 
  *讀完第一本推理小說後，Emma對偵探故事產生了強烈的渴望。

  Paragraph 7 
  The fruits of these labors were quite rich. The lawyer mastered several languages and acquired profound knowledge. Such enrichment 23[had become] invaluable to him--far more fulfilling than any pleasure the banker’s money could buy. The banker, too, had changed greatly 24[over] the years. 25[Once wealthy and confident], he now stood on the brink of ruin. 26[That being so], he could by no means bear the thought of the young man enjoying 
  27[what] remained of his life savings. A horrible thought crossed his mind: he wanted to murder the lawyer. 
  這些努力的成果極其豐碩。律師精通了數種語言，並獲得了深厚的知識。這樣的心靈充實對他來說變得無比珍貴--遠比銀行家的金錢所能買到的任何享樂還要更令人滿足。而銀行家這些年來也產生了巨大變化。曾經富裕而自信的他，如今卻瀕臨破產的邊緣。因此，他無法忍受這個年輕人坐享他所剩的積蓄。他心中閃過一個可怕的念頭：他想要謀殺律師。 
　　
  [23]過去完成式的使用時機有二： 
  （1）兩個發生在過去的動作或事件，先發生的用過去完成式，後發生的用過去簡單式。 
  （2）表「在過去發生的某個動作，持續到過去的某特定時間點停止」，常與「for + 一段時間」、「since + 過去某時間點」或「since + S + V-ed」連用。

  片語，功能為提示背景資訊或主詞特性，進而凸顯主要子句的內容。

  Paragraphs 8--10 
  On the night before the lawyer’s release, the banker 28[stole into] the cabin and 29[found the lawyer asleep] at the table. 30[Lying on the table was a handwritten letter] 31[addressed to him]. 
  In it, the lawyer revealed his disgust with worldly riches. He had 32[come to] see how vain all these mortal pursuits were and hated the foolish banker for worshipping them. Finally, he made clear his intention to abandon the bet and surrender his claim to the banker’s wealth. 
  33[Having read the letter], the banker 34[was overcome with] guilt. He left it on the table and walked out. The next morning, just hours before the fifteen years were up, the lawyer escaped through the window and was never 35[heard from] again. 36[To prevent] rumors about the lawyer’s disappearance, the banker took the letter home and locked it in his safe. 
  在律師即將獲釋的前一晚，銀行家偷偷潛入小屋，發現律師趴在桌前睡著了。桌上放著一封寫給銀行家的手寫信。 
  在信中，律師表達了他對世俗財富的厭惡。他已經看清這些世俗的追求有多麼空虛，並痛恨這位愚昧的銀行家竟崇拜這些虛榮。最後，他明白地表示自己將中止這場賭注，並放棄對銀行家財富的任何權利。 
  讀完信後，銀行家深感愧疚。他把信留在桌上然後離去。隔天清晨，就在距離十五年的期限只剩幾個小時之前，律師便從窗戶逃離，從此毫無音訊。為了避免關於律師失蹤的流言四起，銀行家將那封信帶回家中，鎖進了他的保險箱。 
　　
  [28]steal into  偷偷潛入......

p.11   
  [31]addressed to him 是由形容詞子句簡化而來的分詞片語，用來修飾先行詞a handwritten letter，原句為Lying on the table was a handwritten letter which/that was addressed to him.。was addressed 是被動語態，故簡化後保留過去分詞。

  [32]come to VR 表「開始......（想、意識到、理解等）」，用來描述逐漸達到某種狀態或結果。動詞 come隱含一種漸進的心理變化過程，因此本片語大多使用表達抽象概念的動作，如 appreciate、believe、realize、understand 等。
