问题 The sentence "He is a hard businessman. " is ambiguous due to (  )

选项 A、grammatical structure
B、lexical context
C、homonymy
D、polysemy

答案D

解析 由于词的多义性和同音同形异义性,歧义现象经常出现。多义词出现在不完整的语境中时,歧义就出现了,如:He is a hard businessman.在这样的语境中,hard一词既可以作“勤劳的”讲,又可以作“难对付的”讲。这句话的语境没能对该词的意义加以限定,所以读者难以确定其确切的含义。如果原句扩展为He is a hard businessman to deal with,就不会有误解了。
