virtual & valiant

Question

The personnel office has made a ____ effort to make itself more efficient in responding to employees' need.

A.virtual B.vocational C. valiant D. versatile (99 法警)

Ans為C..怎摸看怎摸怪耶?

virtual 實質的

valiant 勇敢的

覺得C的答案套進去就是怪耶?

Answer 1

最佳解答

virtual的意思譯成"實質的"並不正確

它的第一個意思是1.very near a particular thing or quality

就是幾乎等同於某一特殊事物或質性

例如=>Finding a way to get out of this paradox is a virtual impossibility.

要找出方法逃離這種兩難的困境幾乎是不可能的事

2.由於virtual的上述意思它還引申成"虛擬的"意思

例如=>The websie allows you to take a virtual tour of the art gallery.

該網站可供你上網對該藝廊作虛擬瀏覽

3.valiant 的意思是very brave or bravely determined, especially when things are difficult or the situation gives no cause for hope也就是勇敢堅決的(尤其在當事況很艱困無望的狀態下)

4.因此virtual用在本題是不對的

made a virtual effort=>作"虛擬的或極接近的" 努力，這是不合理的
