文 72 の正しい答えが"although/ but"である理由を説明するには、文の意味と接続詞の使用法を明確に理解する必要があります。
**質問の原文:**
Tom: Have you decided to get the job? Mary: Yes, I've just decided. I'll accept that job _____ it is not suitable with my major. It is not an interesting job, _____ the salary is very good.
Tom: Have you decided to get the job? Mary: Yes, I've just decided. I'll accept that job _____ it is not suitable with my major. It is not an interesting job, _____ the salary is very good.
**回答の分析:**
a. **but/ although:**
- "but"反対の意味を持つ 2 つの節を接続するためによく使用されます。例: "I like apples but I don't like oranges." - "although"
"I like apples but I don't like oranges." - "although" 「けれども」を意味し、2 つの条項間の対立を示すために使用されます。例： "Although it was raining, we went out."
- この文では、矛盾があることがわかります。その仕事はMaryの専攻と一致しませんが、それでも彼女はその仕事を受け入れることに決めています。ただし、 "but/ although"語順は文法的に正しくありません。
b. **despite/ and:** - "despite"
b. **despite/ and:** - "despite" "にもかかわらず" を意味しますが、句接続子ではなく前置詞であり、名詞または動名詞(V-ing)と一緒に使用する必要があります。例： "Despite the rain, we went out."
- "and"情報を列挙または追加する 2 つの句を接続するために使用されます。例: "I like apples and oranges."
- ただし、この文には列記や追加ではなく、反対意見があります。
c. **although/ but:** - "although"
c. **although/ but:** - "although" "accept that job"と"it is not suitable with my major".
- "but" "It is not an interesting job"と"the salary is very good"を繋ぐのに使われており、仕事は面白くないが、給料が高いという良い点があることを意味します。これは意味的にも文法的にも完全に理にかなっています。
d. **yet/ however:** - "yet"
d. **yet/ however:** - "yet" 「 but 」と同じ意味で、文章でよく使用されます。例: "It was raining, yet we went out." - "however"
"It was raining, yet we went out." - "however" 「しかし」という意味の移行接続詞としてよく使用されます。例: "It was raining. However, we went out."
- この文で「 yet 」と「 however 」を使用すると、両方の単語が「しかし」という同じ意味を持つため、繰り返しが発生しますが、同じ文脈では合理的ではありません。
結論：正解はc. **although/ but**.
*完全な文:*
Tom: Have you decided to get the job? Mary: Yes, I've just decided. I'll accept that job **although** it is not suitable with my major. It is not an interesting job, **but** the salary is very good.
