参考答案:A进入在线模考
【译文】“He wisely refused to spend his money”(他明智地拒绝了花钱),这句话是什么意思?
【解析】本题考查wisely在句中的含义。从语法上看,wisely修饰动词refused,但从语义上来看,本句实际上是说主语He做出“拒绝”的行为是“明智的”,wisely说明的是发出动作的人的特性,所以答案是A。本题D是强干扰项,a wise manner并没有真正揭示句中wisely的语义关系。英语中常用wise,intelligent,foolish等说明人的词语修饰主体发出的动作,从而形成了所谓的“移就”修辞手法(transferred epithet),又如:He had some cheerful wine at the party.
