0109 TPS Finish the Sentence Contest－Answer and Explanation你是接龍的高手嗎? 正確解答!
Answer: We believe the sentence is best completed this way:
“Subsequent generations of the skittering laboratory mice were bred to prefer wine-soaked grain and soon exhibited all the erratic behavior of alcoholics.”
The four words complete the picture of experimental animals being turned into lushes. The entire sentence has to do with body control. The mice are described as “skittering,” which is jittery movement typical of small, light, darting animals. After being bred to like alcohol, the skittering of the mice is turned into the unpredictable, “erratic” movement of drunken animals, the animals’ natural gracefulness impaired. The physical reaction to the alcohol is correctly described as “behavior,” which underscores that the mice are still mice, with only their movements altered.
加上這四個字，便完整描繪出實驗動物轉變為酒鬼。句子討論身體控制，形容小鼠動作 “skittering”（蹦蹦跳跳），動作快速的小型動物經常出現這種神經過敏的動作。經過培育後，小鼠偏好酒精，動作從蹦蹦跳跳變成捉摸不定，“erratic”（反覆無常），就像喝醉了一樣，失去天生均衡的美感。以 “behavior”（行為）描述酒精造成的肢體動作很恰當，強調小鼠本質未變，仍是小鼠，只是動作不同。
