问题 Ever since Geoffrey sent a sizeable cheque to a well-known charity he’s been______with requests for money from all sides.
选项 A、devastated
B、smashed
C、bombarded
D、cracked
答案C
解析 句子大意为“自从Geoffrey给一个著名的慈善机构寄去了一张数额较大的支票后，四面八方都向他索要金钱”。四个选项都多少带有“被打倒、击溃”的意思，但是只有bombarded用在这里，含有一种比喻，即“被索要金钱的要求所包围”。bombard经常用于bombard someone with something，表示“对某人询问或给予信息过多”的意思。如：The speaker was bombarded with questions after the speech．(演讲之后，听众给演讲人提了很多问题；)Today we are bombarded with advice on what to eat and what to avoid．(今天我们被该吃什么和不该吃什么这样的建议所包围。)
