Making Inferences

Making inferences is a high-order reading strategy. To make

inferences, readers use not only the text itself but also personal
knowledge and experience. Through inferences, readers may
uncover more details about an event or character, understand the
reasons behind, or make predictions about story events, and so on.
The information supporting inferences may be from text,
based on knowledge about its source, or the readers’ own,
unrelated knowledge.
Making Inferences

However, all inferences must be supported with reasons, not

simply guesses. Inferences allow readers to understand
things that are implied but not actually written in the text. This
deeper understanding can improve comprehension, and can
make the text more meaningful and enjoyable. Making
inferences also develops critical thinking skills that are useful
outside of reading.

reading the text on the next page. Circle the more likely
inferences.
This introduction to the travel guide was written by a(n)
1 frequent / occasional traveler. He or she might be a 2 black

Also, it invited readers to share additional traveling information

about the text?
(A) This was the last book the writers ever published.

Introducing
“The Green Book”
 回題目

Below is the introduction to a travel guide first published

in the United States in 1936:
“This book is intended to provide useful information
that will keep you from running into difficulties and make
your trip more enjoyable. This guide provides a list of
hotels, restaurants, gas stations, shops, and tourist
spots that welcome black travelers. You will find it handy
on your travels around the country.
 回題目

Each year, a new list will be made as some

places move or go out of business. There are also
many places that are not included in this guide. If
you know of any, send in their names and
addresses, so that the information can be shared
with your fellow travelers.
 回題目

We believe there will come a day when this

guide will not have to be published—when we as a
race will have equal rights and be able to go
anywhere we please without trouble. But until then,
we shall continue to publish this book every year
for your convenience and safety.”

 “Remember 【it’s a sin1 to kill a mockingbird,】”
Atticus said, believing 【that mockingbirds were
harmless and did nothing but sing + their hearts out
+ for people to enjoy.】「記住，殺死反舌鳥是一種罪過」，
Atticus說道，並深信反舌鳥是無害的，
只不過是在盡情歌唱給人們享受。
to one’s hearts’ out (adv.)
 In the town of Maycomb, Alabama, in the 1930s,
there lived a little girl, Scout Finch, her older brother,
Jem, and their widowed2 father, Atticus. Their father, a
well-respected lawyer in the community, taught + them +
to be empathetic and just.
be empathetic (to) empathize (with) feel/ have + empathy (for)
be sympathetic (to) sympathize (with) feel/ have + sympathy (for)
在1930年代的阿拉巴馬州梅岡城裡，住著一個小女孩Scout Finch、
她的哥哥Jem以及他們喪妻的父親Atticus。身為社區裡一位備受
尊敬的律師，他們的爸爸教導他們要有同理心和正義感。
 When Scout was in second grade, Atticus was
appointed3 to defend Tom Robinson, a black man accused
of sexually assaulting4 Mayella Ewell. Mayella Ewell came
from Maycomb’s poorest white family, and her father was a
widowed drunkard who wasted all his money on alcohol5
instead of food for his hungry children.
當Scout二年級時，Atticus被指派為Tom Robinson辯護，他是一位被
指控性侵Mayella Ewell的黑人。Mayella Ewell來自梅岡城最貧窮的白人
家庭，她的父親是一個喪妻的酒鬼，只會把錢浪費在買酒上而不是給他
挨餓的孩子買食物。
All the other people in Maycomb despised6 the Ewells.
Even so, when people found out 【that Atticus was the
man assigned to serve as the defense lawyer in this
sexual assault case, 】they were on the Ewells’ side.
The Finches faced criticism7 from the community and
even their own relatives. 梅岡城裡的其他人全都鄙視 Ewell 一家
人。即使如此，當人們發現 Atticus是被指派擔任這宗性侵案辯護律師的
人時，他們是站在Ewell一家人那邊的。Finch一家人面臨了來自社區，
甚至他們自己親戚的批評。
People called + Atticus + a “nigger-lover,” which angered
Jem and Scout. Atticus comforted8 them, telling them 【a
lawyer should stand up for the rights of people
regardless of their skin color,】 and he encouraged9 + them
+ to hold their heads up and + (to) keep + their fists + down.
人們稱呼Atticus為「黑鬼愛好者」，這使得Jem和
Scout非常生氣。Atticus安慰他們，告訴他們律師應該
要不分膚色維護人們的權利，並且鼓勵他們昂首挺胸，
放下拳頭。
 On the day of the trial, the courthouse was packed,
and Jem and Scout secretly slipped in to watch. The Ewells’
story was 【that Mayella had asked Tom to come over to
fix something. 】While there, Tom beat and sexually
assaulted Mayella until Mr. Ewell came home, scaring
Tom off. 在審判當天，法院大樓擠滿了人，Jem和Scout也偷偷
溜進去看。Ewell一家人的說法是Mayella請Tom過來修東西。就在那裡，
Tom毆打並性侵Mayella，直到Ewell先生回到家，把Tom嚇跑。
However, Tom’s version10 of the story was 【that
Mayella came on to him and kissed him, and he pushed
her away. 】At just that moment, Mr. Ewell arrived home
and flew into a rage11. Mr. Ewell yelled at Mayella, and
he ran away out of fear.
然而，Tom方面的說法是Mayella勾引並且親吻他，然後
他把她推開。就在那時，Ewell先生回到家並勃然大怒。
Ewell先生朝Mayella大吼，而Tom因為害怕而逃走了。
 After hearing both sides’ testimonies, the sheriff
of Maycomb pointed out 【that Mayella’s bruises were on
the right side of her face.】 Upon hearing this, the
audience in the courtroom realized 【that her injuries
must have been caused by somebody left-handed.】
在聽完雙方的證詞之後，梅岡城的警長指出Mayella
的瘀傷在右臉上。一聽到這個，法庭裡的觀眾就理解到
她的傷勢一定是某個左撇子的人所造成的。
They also noticed 【that Tom’s left arm had been injured
in an accident, which meant 【he must have been
innocent of giving Mayella her bruises. 】 】
Meanwhile, Atticus asked + Mr. Ewell + to write his
name. 他們也注意到Tom的左臂曾在意外中受傷，
這表示他一定不是造成Mayella傷勢的人。
同時，Atticus要求Ewell先生寫下他的名字。
To the audience’s surprise, he instinctively12 used his
left hand (+ to write his name). Therefore, the injuries
could only have been done by Mr. Ewell himself, and the
Ewells must have been lying to protect Mayella’s
reputation (+ from being damaged).
讓觀眾驚訝的是，他直覺地使用左手。因此，傷只可能是由Ewell
先生他自己所造成，而Ewell一家一定是為了保護Mayella的名譽
而說謊。
 Despite the strong evidence, Tom was found guilty by
the all-white jury13 and (was) sent to prison14. Feeling great
despair15 for his future in a white-dominated legal system,
Tom tried to escape from prison but was shot to death. Jem
and Scout, who had watched the entire trial, had had high
hopes 【that Tom would be found innocent.】 儘管有強力的證
據，Tom仍被全為白人的陪審團判決有罪而被送進監獄。在白人主宰的司
法制度中對於自己的未來感到絕望，Tom試圖逃獄卻被射殺身亡。看了整
個審判過程的Jem和Scout原本對於Tom會被判無罪非常有信心。
They were devastated by the injustice of Tom’s
heartbreaking fate. Atticus explained 【that most people
make sensible16 and moral17 decisions in everyday life, but
when race is involved, they tend to be swayed18 by the
person’s skin color, turning into someone
unrecognizable.】 他們因為Tom悲傷的命運受到
的不公平待遇而感到悲痛。Atticus解釋說大部分的人在
日常生活中都會做出明智且合乎道德的決定，但當涉及到種族
時，他們容易因為膚色而動搖，變成完全認不出來的一個人。
 Nevertheless19, for Maycomb, a glimmer of hope
remained. Atticus noted 【that the jury had spent + a few
hours + deliberating the verdict. 】This was an
encouraging sign because usually a jury would require +
only a few minutes + to find + a black person + guilty.
儘管如此， 對梅岡城來說仍有一絲希望。Atticus注意到陪審
團花了好幾個小時仔細考慮判決。這是一個令人鼓舞的跡象，因
為陪審團通常只需要幾分鐘的時間就會判決黑人有罪。
This delay in the verdict meant 【that at least one member
of the jury must have believed in Tom’s innocence. 】
Therefore, although the guilty verdict could not really be
considered (to be) a victory20, the delay definitely21
represented progress and positive change.
這樣在判決上的延遲就代表陪審團裡至少有一個成員相信Tom
是清白的。因此，雖然這項有罪的判決不能真的被視為是勝利，
但是這樣的延遲肯定代表著進步和正面的改變。
