(B) When Steve Vaught
began walking across
the United States he had
two simple, yet difficult goals.
你答對了嗎？
正解：
正確答案是(B)。Across是一個介係詞，用來表示兩個人、地點、或事情的關係，有時候會跟from一起出現。 Example: That house is across the
street. 在…對面。
Cross通常是名詞或是動詞詞性。當作動詞，表示越過的意思；Cross當作名詞，表示十字型物品。
Crossed是動詞cross的過去式與過去分詞。 Examples:
Will you cross the street with me? (Verb) 穿過
Jesus, Peter, and Andrew each died on a cross. (Noun)
十字架
He crossed the street with me. (Past tense) 穿過
特別提醒同學注意：不要使用acrossed, crossed,
or acrost這三個字當作介係詞或是副詞。acrosse or acrost這兩個字基本上只有少數時候用於方言中。
正確答案是......
