练习 1

"There is a strong bond which unites all of us in this room".

Here, Bruno is saying that there is a strong which everyone present.'

"There is a strong bond which unites all of us in this room".

Here, Bruno is saying that there is a strong link 1 which connects 2 everyone present.'

1 link: "Link" is the best choice here. "Link" shares a very similar meaning with "bond": they both "attach" or "fasten" or "tie" one thing to another. This can be either in a figurative sense, as in the speech, e.g. "Frank has links with the Mafia" or in a literal sense: "One link in the chain is missing".

1 spy: Yes, there is a spy called Bond. He's got nothing to do with this Gymglish lesson, unfortunately.

1 profession: This is incorrect. A "profession" is a career, and is unrelated to the term "bond".

1 difference: This is incorrect. A "difference" is a "distinction" or "dissimilarity". This is quite the opposite of Bruno's meaning.

1 challenge: A "bond" is unrelated to a challenge. In this context a "bond" refers to a link or connection.

2 connects: The verb "to connect" is very similar in meaning to the verb "to unite", and is the best choice here. Things are "united" or "connected" when they are linked together, either in a figurative sense, as in the speech, e.g. "The crowd was united by the common goal of breaking down the barriers", or literally: e.g. "The armies united to defeat the alien invasion". Another example can be found in the names of the United Kingdom and the United States of America, not to forget the United Nations!

2 divides: This is incorrect. When two things are "divided", they are separated. This is quite the opposite of Bruno's meaning.

2 motivates: This is incorrect. To "motivate" is unrelated to the term to "unite".

2 inspires: This is incorrect. To "inspire" is unrelated to the term to "unite".
