问题 How many of the employees in this organization are men?
  
W: Could you tell me how many of your employees are women?
M: Yes, certainly. We have a very high percentage of female staff. We employ about 100 people, and eighty percent of them are women.
M: Look, I’m sorry I didn’t turn up for the match yesterday, but it wasn’t really my fault, you know.
W: It’s all very well saying it wasn’t your fault, but thanks to you we lost 8 to 1.

选项 A、The woman blames the man for his absence.
B、The woman thinks that everything was all right.
C、The woman thanks the man for his efforts.
D、The woman doesn’t think it was the man’s fault.

答案A

解析 本题难度较大,考生往往会因听到thanks to you而选择C项,也会因误解it’s all very well saying it wasn’t your fault而选择D项,这是因为考生并没能真正理解女士的回答。对话中It’s all very well…,but…意思是“当然可以……但是……”,是表示不赞成,不满意的一种委婉说法。对话中的短语thanks to意为“由于,多亏”。因此说女士的回答实际上是一种委婉的责备。
