Answer 1

最佳解答

1.第一段裡的weeps oil 是什麼意思?

直譯：哭出油水

眼睛滲出油來

2.第二段裡的covered with oil 又作何解釋?

渾身都是油（眼睛滲出的油流下，佈滿全身）

3.第四段裡的over the last week 可否over改成from,意思會有何差異?

差異很小。但是使用 since 更好。

Answer 2

１。我想在這兒，weeps oil應該是雕像滲出油來。因為後來他說，雕像＂covered with oil＂。

３。over the last week:應該是＂上周一周之內＂。改成"from"的話，就成為＂自從＂上周以後了！

Answer 3

1.weeps oil: 是指聖母瑪利亞的雕像滲出了油液(或是眼睛流出的油液的淚滴)

因為是第三人稱 動詞 weep 要加s

2.covered with oil : 雕像身體表面被油液覆蓋著

3.over the last week: 截至上週至今;
