05年TEM4的Dictation回憶稿

     考完專四后大家回宿舍討論得很熱烈，很多題雖然詞匯量不大，但都考察的是詞與詞之間的細微差別。大家的答案都不太一樣，就dictation的意見最一致。下面是我們幾個人拼湊在一起的原文，可能有出入，請大家多提批評意見。

The Wrist Watch

It is generally believed that wrist watches are an exception to the normal sequence in the evolution of man's jewelry. Reversing the usual order, they were first worn by women, and then adopted by men. In the old days, queens included wrist watches among their crown jewelry. Later, they were worn by Swiss workers and farmers. Until the World War I, Americans associated the watch with fortune hunters. Then army officers discovered that the wrist watch was most practical for active combat. Race car drivers also loved to wear wrist watches, and pilots found them most useful while flying. Soon men dared to wear wrist watches without feeling self-conscious.

By 1924, some 30 percent of man's watches were worn on the wrist. Today, the figure is 90 percent. And they are now worn by both men and women for practical purposes rather than for decoration.
