问答题 3.  The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they represent unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. (Passage Three)
【正确答案】 我们在书本中读到的人物之所以能让我们感到快乐,要么就是他们像我们所珍爱的朋友,要么就是他们代表了我们所乐意结识的新类型的人。
【答案解析】 delight vt. 使高兴,使欣喜;resemble vt.看起来像,显得像,像,效仿;represent vt.作为……的代表,表现,描绘;acquaintance相识的人,熟人,泛泛之交。注意两个定语从句whom we hold dear和whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances的处理要符合汉语的表达习惯。
