students in their learning journey. (embody)
题目解答
答案
根据题目要求，需将“embody”转换为名词形式填入“an ___ of”。此处应使用“embodiment”，表示“化身”或“体现者”。完整句子为：
"The retired professor is an embodiment of dedication and diligence, never hesitating to contribute his time and resources to aid his students in their learning journey."
此句表意清晰，教授被描绘为奉献与勤奋的化身。
答案：embodiment
解析
本题考查词汇的词性转换。解题思路如下：
- 首先明确句子结构，“an ___ of” 这里需要一个名词，因为 “an” 是不定冠词，通常用于修饰可数名词单数。
- 题目所给单词是 “embody”，它是一个动词，意为“体现；使具体化”。
- 要将动词 “embody” 转换为名词形式，其名词形式是 “embodiment”，意思是“化身；体现者”。
- 把 “embodiment” 代入句子 “The retired professor is an embodiment of dedication and diligence, never hesitating to contribute his time and resources to aid his students in their learning journey.” 中，句子表达“这位退休教授是奉献和勤奋的化身，从不犹豫地投入自己的时间和资源来帮助学生的学习之旅”，语义通顺合理。
