Immediately after the “Brexit” vote, European officials were already trying to attract businesses to divert British capital elsewhere.
该题说刚刚举行“脱欧” 投票之后,欧盟官员就已经在尽量吸引商界把英国 的资金分投到别处(to divert British capital elsewhere)。录音内容表达的是原英国脱欧 派已经开始消化(体会)他们的脱欧公投,而且这仅仅是开始,因为欧盟官员迅速 采取了行动,都在设法把商业、企业家和投资从伦敦引导到其他欧洲城市,使其保持直通欧盟市场并保留数以百万计的商客。题干内容提取了关键信息,而意思没有 改变。所以正确答案为选项A。
[重点难点]
重点是理解几个关键词attract与 lure同义, their referendum则指脱欧派 的脱欧公投提案,而 digest在此处意为“ 品尝”与“体会”。
[录音原文]
Britons had only just begun to digest the results of their referendum when European officials leapt into action, all of them jockeying to lure businesses, entrepreneurs and investments from London to other European cities, to maintain access to the EU market and its millions of customers.
