关键是读题目,不光包括文字,也包括图形:
a)How many ways can two squares be shared so that the grid has symmetry about the diagonal line AC if the two squares must not include the diagonal line
1)首先图一只划了一条对角线,从句 if the two squares must not include the diagonal line中的diagonal line是单数,所以指AC,否则就是the diagonal lines,根本没有提到BD
2)其次,注意反复提及的主语:
a square grid:square是修饰grid的,grid指图形
two squares:意思指方形
所以so that the grid has symmetry中的grid也是指图形,所以是图形对称,而不是楼主提到的方格对称
鉴于开始句子提到的a square grid,我们可以认为题目里面的square指单独的网格,如果是多个方格的方形就该说square grid而不是单独的square了
