Consumers deprived of the information and advice they needed were quite simply______very cheat in the marketplace.
选项
A、at the mercy of
B、in lieu of
C、by courtesy of
D、for the price of
答案
A
解析
句中的(be)deprived of…意为“被剥夺了……”,在此句的意思相当于(be)short of…,即“缺乏(信息)而且未被给以(必要的忠告的消费者们)”。据此推知,后面句子的大意是“很容易在市场上受骗上当”,因此选用at the mercy of,意思是“任……摆布,在……前毫无办法”。再如:The champion had the other boxer at his mercy.(这位冠军拳击手征服了他的对手。)in lieu of意为“替代”;by courtesy of意为“在……的允许下”;for the price of不是固定用法,但可以说sell two things for the price of one(两件商品只收一件的钱)。
