练习 1
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate phrase or expression
Polly is speaking with Horatio Bruno.
Polly is speaking with Horatio Bruno.
Fill in the blank with the most appropriate phrase or expression
Polly is speaking with Horatio on behalf of Bruno.
Polly is speaking with Horatio on behalf of Bruno.
on behalf of: This is the best choice here. Polly tells Horatio that she is speaking to him "at Bruno's request". She means simply that Bruno has asked her to speak to Horatio, or that she is speaking to Horatio because Bruno has asked her to. The expressions "on behalf of Bruno" and "at Bruno's request" share a similar meaning.
as the result of: "As the result of (an action)" is not used to describe a service one person does for another. However, we might say "Polly is speaking to Horatio as a result of Bruno's request". This is not the best choice here.
on the recommendation of: "On the recommendation of (Bruno)" is not generally used to talk about a service or favor that one person is doing for another. However, we might say that "Polly was hired by Delavigne on the recommendation of her previous employers". In English, when someone gives a "recommendation", they are "complimenting" or giving someone a positive review. We might also say "On the recommendation of Susie, Icarus started wearing more elegant clothes". In this case "on the recommendation" means "on the advice of Susie".
in regards to : If Polly were speaking to Horatio "regarding" or "in regards to" Bruno, she would be speaking to Horatio "about" or "concerning" Horatio. Bruno is not the subject of Polly and Horatio's conversation.

1 drive: "Drive" is the right answer here. To "drive" is to direct or control something, usually a vehicle (car, bus, lorry, etc.). Example: "You can't drive a car unless you have a licence".
2 left: "Left" is the term Eva uses here. Most people write with their "right" hand, but around 10% of people write with their LEFT hand. In the majority of countries, traffic drives on the right-hand side of the road, but in some countries, people drive on the left. Countries where people drive on the left include Britain, India, Australia, Japan, and South Africa.
3 mostly: "Mostly" is the correct answer. The term "mostly" means "generally", "mainly", or "the majority of (the time)". Eva is saying that the majority of British people travel by horse most often! You should note that this isn't entirely true. Here's another example of "mostly" in action: "I mostly listen to rock music, but sometimes I listen to jazz".
4 request: "Request" is the right term here. When we "make a request", we "ask for something" politely, or formally. To do something "at the Queen's request" is to do something "because the Queen has asked you to". Example: "At Bruno's request, all the staff came to the office on Sunday".
5 drink: "Drink" is the word which Eva sings here. To "drink" is to consume a liquid. In the context of Eva's song, "to drink" means specifically "to drink alcohol". Note that this verb is irregular: drink/drank/drunk. When someone drinks too much alcohol, they are described as "drunk".
6 awful: "Awful" is the correct word here. "Awful" means "horrible", "terrible", or "very bad". Eva is saying that the food eaten in Britain is disgusting! Another example: "Horatio is an awful singer: glasses smash when he sings!".
7 skies: The correct answer here is "skies". "Skies" is the plural of "sky", and both terms refer to the atmosphere above the earth, where we can see the sun and clouds. Eva sings that the skies above Britain are grey, meaning that it often rains in Britain.
8 grey: "Grey" is the term which Eva sings here. By saying that the skies in Britain are grey, she is saying that it is rarely sunny in Britain. Note that this word is written as either "grey" or "gray" in British English, but always "gray" in American English.
