四選一

Mei ____ at a neighborhood café while she was attending college in 2019.

  • waitress
  • waitresses
  • waitressed
  • waitressing
看答案

waitressed

while she was attending college in 2019 表示過去已發生的工作經歷,主句需要過去式動詞 waitressed。waitress 是原形,waitresses 作動詞時是第三人稱單數現在式,均不符合此處敘述過去經歷的時態;waitressing 是現在分詞,不能單獨作限定動詞。waitresses 若作複數名詞,則整個主句缺少述語。

同義改寫

The waitress assigned to our table introduced herself as Ms. Chen. → The female server assigned to our table introduced herself as Ms. Chen.
在餐廳桌邊服務情境中,female server 與 waitress 都指女服務生,保留原句的性別與工作資訊。
Mei waitressed at the café on weekends while attending college. → Mei worked as a waitress at the café on weekends while attending college.
動詞 waitressed 可改寫為 worked as a waitress,保留工作身分、地點與時間。
