问题 —The society is so complicated. You should learn to separate the sheep from the goats.
—Thanks for your kindness. What does separate the sheep from the goats mean?

选项 A、be different from others
B、distinguish good from evil
C、come to the point
D、engage in social activities

答案B

解析 distinguish good from evil意为“辨别善恶,区分好坏”,与separate the sheep from thegoats同义。由于《圣经》的影响,sheep和goat在英语中的形象截然不同,前者比喻好人,后者比喻坏人。英语中有关goat的成语,大多贬义,如:play the goat=playthe fool(瞎胡闹);get sb.’s goat(触动肝火)等。
