25Nov词汇请从以下四个选项里选出最符合题意的一个选项:
She trimmed the _____ of the tulips before putting them in a vase.A. sprigB. spruceC. stakesD. stalks注:本题摘自广西民族大学2017年翻硕试卷。参考答案:A. sprig
解析:这一题里,真正需区别的两个词分别是 sprig和stalk。因为从题的意思来说,在将郁金花插入花瓶之前,她是对这一束花有过修剪的。那么,修剪的是花的什么部位呢?通常应该是枝和茎一类的。Sprig的意思是“(尤指烹饪或装饰用的)带叶小枝”,即 A sprig is a small stem with leaves on it which has been picked from a bush or plant, especially so that it can be used in cooking or as a decoration. Stalk的意思是“茎;秆;柄;梗”,即The stalk of a flower, leaf, or fruit is the thin part that joins it to the plant or tree. 例如:A single pale blue flower grows up from each joint on a long stalk./一条长长的茎秆的每个节上都会长出一朵浅蓝色的花。另外,选项B. Spruce指的是“云杉;花旗松”,即A spruce is a kind of evergreen tree. 选项C stake的意思是“桩”,即A stake is a pointed wooden post which is pushed into the ground, for example in order to support a young tree.
