问题     The owner of a large company, who was about to take a trip overseas, dropped into his office early in the morning to make some arrangements. He was telephoning for a ticket for his trip when the night watchman came in, who was back from work, and said" Good morning" to the owner. Then he told him that he had dreamed that very night of his employer’s(雇主的)plane crashing(坠毁) after taking off. The owner was surprised to hear this. He decided, however, there was something in what the night watchman said. He postponed(推迟) his trip.
    As things turned out, the night watchman’s dream was correct. That day the plane exploded (爆炸) just after leaving the ground. The owner gave the night watchman 5,000 dollars and a letter. He said, "I’m very sorry to do so. But I have to do so. Read the letter when you get home."
    The puzzled man hurried home and tore the letter in a hurry. After taking a look, he turned pale. There was only one sentence in it. And he knew that he had been fired.
He postponed his trip. Here the word" postponed" means ______.

选项 A、insisted on
B、put off
C、stopped
D、regretted

答案B
