请教下exclusive到底怎么用?

timsky2000 · 发表于 2006-7-6 14:21:00

做OG和GWD时候一直困惑于exlusive这个词.请教下它到底什么意思?

They live almost exclusively in treeless environments.

这句话到底是他们只生活在没有树的环境还是他们不生活在没有树的环境呢?

还有11OG上的一句话

Meal s contains almost exclusively of protein

是只有蛋白质还是没有蛋白质呢?按OG上的意思是只有蛋白质的意思.

exclusive of sth =not including something

exclusively 也有 only 的意思.

如:
This offer is available exclusively to our established customers

所以第一个是只住在treeless enviroments, 第二个是没有protein. 注意代词和修饰动词.

第一句是. live exclusively... (in treeless environemnts)

第二句是: contains exclusively of.. (protein)

先谢下斑竹,但是我觉得很困惑的是GWD-6-12中,文章说

Like brown bears and polar bears, sloth bears may have evolved in an environment with few trees

题目是

Q12:

Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as a way in which brown bears and sloth bears are similar?

They tend to become aggressive when provoked.
They live almost exclusively in treeless environments.
They are preyed upon by animals that can climb or topple trees.
They are inefficient in their locomotion.
They have relatively large canine teeth.

答案选A我也没什么意见,但是B如果按照斑竹你说的,那B也应该和文章的意思是一样的吧?那就很奇怪了?难道是因为evolve和live 意思的不同才导致B错的么?

evolve 是进化, live 是住. 不能主观的把他们连想在一起, 最多只能说他们以前住在没树的地方加上A 有明确的定位. 还有. sloth 是树濑, 记不记得OG 上有一题SC 是说 sloth 用长臂吊在树上.

这样解释好像有点不充分

不过我没有仔细去查文章中还有没有其他比较明确说明sloth 住在树多的地方.不好意思

恩，说的有理.一开始差点就上当了。后来突然找到了A的地方，觉得A更好,但没想出来B错哪里,就主观的认为可能是exclusively的问题,不过也要庆幸还好不明白它的意思.否则要犹豫半天了.而且B还用了个treeless来代替with few trees,同义替代超象正确答案的说.ETS真坏.估计了解了我们做题的特点了.

sen4sun对Meals contains almost exclusively of protein的解释有一点问题吧？
因为，11og上对这个选项是这样说的：
A. Means consisting almost exclusively of protein
A.Correct. Meals with very high levels of protein would tend to ...blablabla
就是说，exclusively of protein=with very high levels of protein

ldoce的exclusively的解释只有简单的一个词：

ex‧clu‧sive‧ly [See pronunciation table in "How to use dictionary" pages]
only:
This offer is available exclusively to people who call now.

相较对于exclusive的解释，要简单得多，exclusive似乎除了exclusive of这个短语是指not inclusing之外，其它都有only之意：

ex‧clu‧sive1 [See pronunciation table in "How to use dictionary" pages]
1 available or belonging only to particular people, and not shared
exclusive access/rights/use etc
Our figure skating club has exclusive use of the rink on Mondays.
exclusive report/interview/coverage etc
Tune in to our exclusive coverage of Wimbledon.
exclusive to
This offer is exclusive to readers of The Sun.
2 exclusive places, organizations, clothes etc are so expensive that not many people can afford to use or buy them:
Bel Air is an exclusive suburb of Los Angeles.
an exclusive girls' school
3 deliberately not allowing someone to do something or be part of a group:
a racially exclusive hiring policy
4 mutually exclusive if two things are mutually exclusive, you cannot have or do both of them:
Lesbianism and motherhood are not mutually exclusive.
5 exclusive of something not including something [≠ inclusive of something]:
Our prices are exclusive of sales tax.
6 concerned with only one thing:
The committee's exclusive focus will be to improve public transportation.

我觉得exclusive作独一排他讲没有问题 B错是因为

Like brown bears and polar bears, sloth bears may have evolved in an environment with few trees

而选项中They live almost exclusively in treeless environments.

请指教

感觉我们是被中文翻译给混淆了。
因为我看了很多例句，直接把exclusive理解为ONLY就好，没必要纠结。
