问题     Sometimes we say that someone we know is "a square peg in a round hole". This simply means that the person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is doing. He may be a book keeper who really wants to be an actor or a mechanic who likes cooking. Unfortunately, many people in the world are "square pegs": they are not doing the kind of work they should be doing, for one reason or another. As a result, they probably are not doing a very good job and certainly they are not happy.
    Choosing the right career is very important. Most of us spend a great part of our lives at our jobs. For that reason we should try to find out what our talents are and how we can use them. We can do this through aptitude tests, interviews with specialists, and study of books in our field of interest. There are many careers open to each of us. Perhaps we like science. Then we might prepare ourselves to be chemists, physicists or biologists. Maybe our interests take us into the business world and such work as accounting, personnel management or public relations. Many persons find their places in government service. Teaching, newspaper work, medicine, engineering—these and many other fields offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and training.
    What does "a square peg in a round hole" mean?
选项 A、Someone who is short is like a square peg.
B、Someone who is not suited for his job.
C、Someone who is standing in a square.
D、Someone who is putting a square peg in a round hole.
答案B
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句“This simply means that the person we are talking about is not suited for the job he is doing."可知a square peg in a round hole指“我们谈论的这个人不适合他正在做的工作”。故选B。
