问题 Watching me pulling the calf awkwardly to the barn, the Irish milk maid fought hard to ______her laughter.

选项 A、hold back
B、hold on
C、hold out
D、hold up

答案A

解析 此题考短语动词的习惯用法。hold back意为restrain“抑制,克制”,也作keepback,refrain from,常接表示情感意义的词,有时也用hold in;作“阻碍,阻止”讲时要用hold back。hold back one’s laughter(tears,excitement,fear)“忍住不笑(控制住眼泪,克制住激动的心情,抑制住恐惧)”。Shortage of capital was a factor holdingback economic development.缺乏资金是阻碍经济发展的一个因素。hold on“坚持下去,(打电话时)别挂”,hold on to sth.“紧紧抓住”。The custom held on for two genera—tions.这个风俗延续了两代。He was determined to hold on to the job whatever difficul—ties he might run into.他下决心不管碰到什么困难,都要坚持做这个工作。hold out“伸出,提出”; “顶住,维持”。如:hold out the hand of friendship and cooperationto…“向……伸出友谊与合作之手”;hold out promise“作出承诺”。How long can wehold out against the attack?我们对进攻能抵抗多久?The water won’t hold out muchlonger.水维持不了多久了。hold up“使停止耽搁,拦截”。如:Work on the buildingsite was held up by the bad weather.建筑工地的作业因天气不好而停止(耽搁)。Theautomobile was held up in broad daylight.汽车在光天化日之下被拦截。题句意为:那个爱尔兰挤奶女工看着我费劲地把牛拉向牛棚的样子,强忍住不笑出声来。[不是已笑出声来而停止(hold up),更不是坚持笑下去(hold on,hold out)。]
