1008 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:
“Standing at the museum’s front door, the curator vacillated between grandfatherly delight and juvenile dread as he watched the couple approach with 8 jumping, laughing, shoving children.”
Museums are not playgrounds, unless they are hands-on science centers for children. It follows that childish behavior is not perfectly conducive to the contemplative enjoyment of a museum. In the sentence, the museum official was both pleased and dismayed that the careful environment of the institution was about to be invaded. The writer employed terms of age in describing the opposite emotions coursing through the official. The official’s “delight” at the sight of young visitors was described as “grandfatherly,” whereas his “dread” was described as “juvenile.” The latter adjective has double meaning: Juvenile can refer both to the young age of the children and to the official’s psychological immaturity in believing the happy, youthful crowd spells disaster.
除非是鼓勵兒童自己動手做的科學教育館，否則一般博物館並不是遊樂的地方，因此，要在博物館靜心觀賞展覽，不適合出現稚氣的行為。本句中，博物館長看到一群兒童即將入侵精心維護的場館，心裡感到既高興、又害怕。句子用與年齡有關的辭彙描述館長心頭湧上的兩種相對情緒，以「grandfatherly」（祖父地；慈祥地）形容看到來訪兒童的欣喜，又以「juvenile」（青少年的；幼稚的）形容心中的恐懼。形容詞「juvenile」有雙重含義，既可以指兒童年紀輕，也可以指館長不成熟的心理，因為館長害怕這群青春洋溢的快樂兒童會給博物館帶來一場災難。
