问题 Woman: Did you say that we can get more than half of the votes?
Man: Yes. Most students will be on our side.
Woman: But mind you. We cannot count the chickens before they are hatched.
Question: What does the woman imply?

选项 A、Things may not turn out what they expected.
B、It’s still too early to believe the students.
C、The man is over-confident about the students.
D、Over half of the votes will go to the man.

答案A

解析 此题考查对会话含义的确切理解。count one’s chickens before they are hatched, 其字面意思是“小鸡未孵先数鸡”,比喻“高兴得太早”或“如意算盘打得太早”。男士认为“我们可以获得一半以上的选票、大多数学生都会站在我们一边”,而女士则提醒他“切不可以高兴得太早”,暗指“情况有可能不像期待的那样”。所以A项是正确答案。It’s too early to believe the students.“太早了,不能相信学生。”The man is over一confi—dent about the students. “男士过分相信学生。”Over half of the votes will go to the man.“超过半数的选票将会投向男士。’’都不够确切,因而都不是女士的真正含义。
