Psychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is due absorption in the past. It does not __1__work to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in __2__sadness about friends who are dead. One's thoughts must be directed to the future, and to things which there is something to be done. __3__This is not always easy; one's own past is a gradually increasing weight. It is easy to think for oneself that ont's emotions __4__

are used to be more vivid than they are, and one's mind more __5__keen. If this is true it should be forgotten, and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true.

The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in hope of __6__sucking vigour from its vitality. When your children are growing up __7__they want to live their own lives, and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young, you are likely to become a burden to them, except they are unusually callous. I do not __8__mean that one should be without interest in them, but one's interest should be contemplatory and, if possible, philanthropic, but not __9__unduly emotional. Animals become indifferent to their young as soon as their young can look after themselves, but human beings, owing to the length of infantry, find this difficult. __10__

答案及解析:

1.due-undue

如果是due absoption，就沒有必要說two dangers to guarded against，所以這里犯了語義顛倒的錯誤。

2.work-do

work在這里用得不好，應該為do，表示“能……”，work往往表示“行不行得通”，如：It does not work to employ two people. We need at least 5.

3.^which-about

這里缺少了介詞about，使先行詞things 和something to be done無法連接。

4.for-to

to think for oneself表示“為自己著想”，這這里顯然不是這個意思，應改為to oneself 表示“自己想……”，類似于to say to oneself。

5.are(used)-/

be used to 表示“習慣于……”，而這里的意思是“過去曾經……”，所以應改為used to do。

6.^hope-the

詞組in the hope of 或 in hopes of 表示“懷著……的希望”。

7.growing-grown

be growing up 表示“在成長的過程中”，而這里表示的是“當孩子們長大以后……”，所以應改為are grown up。

8.except-unless

except表示“除了……之外”，在意思上不貼切，應改為unless表示“除非……”。

9.contemplatory-contemplative

沒有contemplatory這個詞，有的是contemplative，表示“沉思的，冥想的”

10.infantry-infancy
