情境例句

員工聚餐

團隊聚餐時,餐廳以烤蘑菇作為前菜。
工作坊暖場

這個簡短的設計挑戰只是下午工作坊的暖場序曲。

詞族

appetizer noun 前菜;開胃菜・appetizers plural noun 前菜(複數)・appetizing adjective 引人食慾的

四選一

For the staff dinner, the chef prepared an ____ of roasted vegetables to serve before the main course.

  • appetizingly
  • appetizers
  • appetizer
  • appetizing
看答案

appetizer

an 後需要能指稱一道菜的單數可數名詞,因此選 appetizer。appetizers 是複數;appetizingly 是副詞;appetizing 在此為形容詞,無法單獨指稱這道烤蔬菜前菜。

同義改寫

The restaurant served grilled mushrooms as an appetizer at our team dinner. → The restaurant served grilled mushrooms as a starter at our team dinner.
此處 appetizer 與 starter 都指正餐主菜之前供應的前菜。
The short design challenge was just an appetizer for the afternoon workshop. → The short design challenge was just a small taste of what was to come in the afternoon workshop.
此處是比喻用法;a small taste of what was to come 保留先體驗少量內容、引起後續期待的意思。
