单选题 Woman: I hear that our boss donated a lot of money to the No. 3 Middle School.
Man: A lot of money? That's only a drop in the bucket. The sum of money he gave is only chickenfeed.
Question: What does the man mean?

A、 The boss didn't get a lot of money.
B、 The boss didn't give a lot of money.
C、 The money the boss gave was hardly enough.
D、 The boss made a contribution for a chicken farm.

【正确答案】 C

【答案解析】[解析] 此题考查对会话中习惯用法的理解。a drop in the bucket字面意思是“桶里的一滴水”，此处指“沧海一粟”，用在不同的上下文中可以表示“微不足道”或“九牛一毛”。chickenfeed“为数甚微的款项”。
