0206 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:
“My actual textbook weighs just under two pounds, the e-book version about half that, but the real weight of each is measured in how much I carry away.”
Most of this sentence is concerned with physical mass, a measurement of heft. This theme is completed in abstract terms, in how much learning a person can pick up and “carry away” from the text. Actually, while the volume of knowledge indeed can be calculated (in vocabulary, for example), a knowledgeable person and his ignorant twin won’t scale differently. Brains don’t get heavier as they are primed and loaded. Yet the imagery works in the abstract, with a person metaphorically putting down a paper or electronic book and lugging off new understanding.
例句大部分討論物體質量，描述物體的重量，但最後以抽象描述收尾，敘述一個人可以從書本裡學到、「帶走」多少知識。事實上，雖然知識的多寡確實可以計算（例如以詞彙的數量計算），飽學的人與不學無術者卻不會因為知識改變體重；大腦受到啟發、學習，重量並不增加。然而，這句抽象描述的意象卻言之成理，用隱喻說明一個人放下紙本書或電子書後，帶走新的知識。
