The couple told the decorator that they wanted their bedroom
gaily
painted. The underlined part means______.(2013-80)
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析:首先把gaily变成形容词gay,很多考生第一感觉是“同性恋的”,但此处显然不对。其实gay还可表示“欢乐的,愉快的”,即happy,cheerful,light-hearted,但此处同样不合适。那只剩选项A和D了。brightly指“(颜色)鲜亮地,明亮地”,lightly则表示“轻轻地,轻微地,心情愉快地”,显然只有A最为恰当。句意为“这对夫妻告诉装修人员,他们希望卧室油漆颜色涂得鲜艳点。”
