【译文】你竟会认为住在这个城市里没有什么意思,我很吃惊。
【解析】考查情态动词的用法。surprised这个词的用法有三种:(D. be surprised to do…②be surprised at sth./sb.③be surprised that…。B、D中介词选用不当。A选项中用should表示一种惊讶的语气。should的这一用法也是考试中常常出现的考点之一,如:It is unthinkable that a strong character like Nancy should find a weak—willed man acceptable.(像南希这样很有主见的女子竟然觉得一个意志软弱的男子也可以接受,真让人不可想象。) I was shocked that she should have said such a thing to you.(她竟然对你说这种话,真让我吃惊。) 而C选项中的would没有表达惊讶语气的这个作用,因此应该选择A。
