问题 Man: I hear you have been working part-time.
Woman: Yeah, I must stand on my own feet. My parents are retired and their health is declining.
Question: What does the woman mean?

选项 A、She has recovered from an injury.
B、She does not depend on her parents anymore.
C、Her parents used to enjoy good health.
D、Her parents used to have a good job.

答案B

解析 此题考查习惯用语和对会话含义的理解。男士听说女士一直在做兼职,女士认为她得自食其力了,因为父母已经退休,身体衰退,言外之意是不能再依靠他们养活了。stand on one’s own feet意为“自力更生、自食其力”,也有身体恢复,站立起来的意思,但该会话是其比喻含义,所以B项为正确答案。
