Vampires
Track 08
A vampire is a mysterious being who feeds on the blood of living creatures to sustain its life. Since the early 19th century, frightful vampires roaming streets at midnight have been described in legends. They were described as pale-faced evils in a black cape, obsessed with drinking blood. They feared the sunlight, so they came out after midnight and went back to coffin the dawn. They drank fresh blood from human victims for immortality of life. According to vampire hunters, the best time to permanently end a vampire’s life is in the daytime. And the best way to kill it is to penetrate its heart by a sharpened stick. Besides, by holding garlic and crosses in hand, one can also keep vampires away. In the past, among all the vampire figures created in fictional stories, Count Dracula was probably the most famous of all time. However, nowadays, the vampires in the recently released Twilight movie series seem to be comparatively powerful. Garlic, holy crosses, and sunlight can harm them no more. And the young vampire characters attract even more young audiences than the old Count Dracula. With the thriving adaptations of vampire myths, it seems that the related images of such mysterious creatures will remain vivid among the public.
吸血鬼
吸血鬼是一種神祕的生物，它仰賴生物的血液來延續生命。自從19世紀早期以來，嚇人的吸血鬼在傳說中就有被描述到半夜在街頭遊走。它們被描述成蒼白、邪惡、吸血，並且穿著黑色的斗篷。它們畏懼陽光，所以在午夜後才出來，並在天亮之前回到棺木中。它們為了求得永生，吸取來自人類受害者身上的鮮血。根據吸血鬼獵人的說法，永遠終止吸血鬼生命最好的時機是在白天，而殺死它最好的辦法是利用銳利的木棍插入其心臟。此外，藉由手中握著蒜頭以及十字架，人們可以使得吸血鬼遠離。在過去，在所有創造出來的吸血鬼人物之中，德古拉伯爵很可能是所有時期以來最著名的。但是，今日來說，在最近放映的「暮光之城」電影系列中的吸血鬼似乎更有名，力量也更為強大。蒜頭、神聖十字架以及陽光皆再也無法傷害它們。而年輕的吸血鬼角色比老德古拉伯爵吸引更多的年輕觀眾。吸血鬼的改編傳說如此盛行，看來對大眾來說，這種神秘生物延伸出來的相關形象依然生動不已。

文法分析
分析1
（O）例句：According to vampire hunters, the best time to permanently end a vampire’s life is in the daytime.
（Ｘ）例句：According to vampire hunters, best time to permanently end a vampire’s life is in the daytime.
中譯：
根據吸血鬼獵人的說法，永遠終止吸血鬼生命最好的時機是在白天。
用法解析：
形容詞最高級比較時用定冠詞the，後接最高級best time。第2句中best
time前少了定冠詞the，故第2句屬於錯誤的句子。
分析2
（O）例句：And the young vampire characters attract even more young audiences than the old Count Dracula.
（Ｘ）例句：And the young vampire characters attract very more young audiences than the old Count Dracula.
中譯：
而年輕的吸血鬼角色比老德古拉伯爵吸引更多的年輕觀眾。
用法解析：
修飾形容詞比較級的副詞及副詞片語可以是much, far, even, still, a little, a lot, a great / good deal…… 等。修飾最高級的副詞及副詞片語常用very或by far，表示語氣的加強。原句是比較級的句子，more前應用much，而非修飾最高級的very。
