本題考情境字 work 的用法

The supervisor asked whether anyone could ____ overtime to finish preparing the exhibition booth.

  • worker
  • worked
  • work
  • working
看答案

work

本題在 work overtime 搭配中考動詞形式。情態助動詞 could 後接原形 work;worker 是名詞,worked 是過去式或過去分詞,working 是 -ing 形式,均不適合直接接在此處的 could 後。

同義改寫

The team recorded six hours of overtime last week. → The team recorded six hours of work beyond its normal schedule last week.
此處 overtime 指正常排定工時以外的工作時間;改寫保留六小時及上週的資訊,沒有增添薪資條件。
The technicians worked overtime on Friday to complete the installation. → The technicians worked beyond their normal working hours on Friday to complete the installation.
worked overtime 與 worked beyond their normal working hours 都表示超出正常工時工作,日期與目的相同。
