Mr Black was young and able. He worked very hard. And the boss liked him. Last month he was sent to China on business. When he got to Beijing,he visited some places of interest and felt very happy.
One morning before he left for London, he decided to buy something for Tony, the son of his boss. At first he didn’t know what to buy for the boy. Suddenly he remembered that the boy liked birds very much, so he went to the bird market. He was glad to find that there were so many kinds of birds there. He bought four beautiful birds, then he told the boy about it on the telephone.
As soon as Mr Black returned to London by air,he went to Tony with the four birds. But on his way to the boss’s home,one of them flew out of the cage(笼子) and there were only three birds left in it. Then Mr Black bought a local(当地的) bird to take the place of the missing Chinese one.
Tony of course was very happy when he saw the birds. But soon he found one of them was different from the other three. He asked,"It’s a local bird,isn’t it,Mr Black?" “Yes, it is. " Mr Black answered, "It’s an interpreter(翻译). "
Mr Black said the local bird was an interpreter because ______.
选项
A、the three Chinese birds didn’t know English
B、it was different from the Chinese birds
C、he didn’t want to tell Tony the truth and he was making a joke
答案
C
解析
分析推理题。文章最后_二段记叙了Mr Black回到伦敦、夏失一只鸟、他买了一只本地鸟凑数、然后向孩子解释的过程。由常识可知,孩子发现那只本地鸟后Mr Black肯定不好意思实话实说,他说那只鸟是“翻译”只可能是一种玩笑的说法,选[C]。这也正是这个故事的幽默所在:他将鸟与人进行类比,中国的鸟到英国去也需要一个“翻译”。
