這邊的review請萬萬不可以解釋為複習,意思是「查核、考核」。而若考核狀況不好,目前最流行的概念就是人資單位需要完成hire and fire(聘僱與解僱),資遣的說法是layoff,而資遣時會達到的費用則稱之為遣散費severance pay,來自於sever(切斷)。
John will be granted as John has violated the rules listed on the contract, he is not entitled toreceive or claimseverance pay.
(John既已違反合約上所列之規範,佢不得收領或要求遣散費用。)
1. _____ rules listed on the contract, John is not entitled toreceive severance pay.
(A) Violate
(B) To violate
(C) Violated
(D) Violating
2. The base pay and commissionrate are often inversely proportional. That is, the higher the base salary is, _____ the commission will be.
(A) the low
(B) the lower
(C) the lowest
(D) the lowing
解析:
1. 正解為(D)。題意為「違反了合約上所列的規範,John將不能收到遣散費。」本題為標準分詞構句,由於前方的子句原文為「John violated the rules…」屬於主動語態,所以轉換為分詞構句時應該使用現在分詞。
