当年我也纠结于此,曾经研究过,但后来不了了之.但我还是过了四级,良好.这就是应试教育.
我现在重新看这个题,首先,觉得ABC都说得过去.
slow:not busy,exciting or full of activities(麦克米伦词典);if business is slow,there are not many customers or not much is sold(朗文词典);not very busy,containing little action(牛津高阶)
slack:(of business)not having many customers or sales,not busy(牛津);with less business activity than usual(SYN slow)(朗文直接把slow 和 slack 在这个意义上作为同义词);not as busy or successful as usual in business(麦克米伦)
low season:在任何一个词典中,low season 都是作为一个固定词组,意思是
the time of year when a place or business is least busy, for example because there are not many tourists.(麦克米伦);BrE the time of year when fewer people are on holiday and there is less business for hotels etc, and prices are usually lower than norm(朗文);especially BrE. the time of year when a hotel or tourist area receives fewest visitors(牛津高阶),而且,毫无例外,在解释时都特别提到是旅游业或者酒店业.
这样看来,如果非要找一个标准答案,我觉得 C 更好,因为题干已经提到了酒店和旅游.我觉得出题人的意图也是想考查这个 low season 在旅游业和酒店业中的意思.而且slow 和 slack 几乎同义,根据英语选择题技巧,两个同义的选项,那就都要排除.(呵呵).
我觉得这个题目挺失败的,我看到一个英语论坛,不知道也是楼主问的,同样的问题,很多外国人觉得所有的选项读起来对他们来说都挺顺嘴的,都能接受而且能理解句子想表达什么意思.哎,语言不就是用来传递思想,互相沟通的吗?干嘛非得死扣考点语法各种呢.
以上拙见,献丑了.
