问题 There is only one difference between an old man and a young one; the young one has a glorious future before him and the old one has a______future behind him.

选项 A、splendid
B、conspicuous
C、uproarious
D、imminent

答案A

解析 句子冒号后是个排比句,说明“老人和年轻人只有一点不同”,一个是future before him,一个是future behind him。因此,空白处的形容词的意义应该与glorious(光明的)相近,即splendid,意为“辉煌的”。旬中have a future是习惯用法,指“成功的机会”。另外,此处的before和behind若译成汉语,意义与英语的恰好相反。此句的译文是“老年人和年轻人只有一点不同:年轻人的成功机会在今后,而老年人的成功经历在过去”。imminent意为“将要发生的”;uproarious意为“喧嚣的,令人捧腹大笑的”;conspicuous意为“显著的,令人注目的”。
