问题 A misbehaving minister is regarded as a government’s Achilles’_____and is expected to resign.
选项 A、leg
B、heel
C、knee
D、ankle
答案B
解析 Achilles’heel意为“(某人性格中最易受攻击或批评的)致命弱点，人的弱点”。Achilles阿喀琉斯，出自希腊神话，是一名英雄。出生后被其母亲握脚踵倒提着在冥河水中浸过，因此除未浸到水的脚踵外，浑身刀枪不入。故Achilles’heel直译为阿喀琉斯的脚踵，引申为致命弱点，惟一的弱点，如：I think Frank’s vanity is his Achilles’heel．我认为虚荣是弗兰克的弱点。
