What does "He wisely refused to spend his money" mean?
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】从语法上看,副词wisely修饰动词refused;但从语义上来看,本句实际上是说主语He做出“拒绝”的行为是“明智的”,wisely说明的是发出动作的人的特性,所以答案是A。本题D是强干扰项,a wise manner并没有真正揭示句中wisely的语义关系。英语中常用wise,intelligent,foofish等说明人的词语修饰主体发出的动作,从而形成了所谓的“移就”修辞手法(transferred epithet),又如:He had some cheerful wine at the party.
