To water flowers on a rainy day is simply
carrying coals to Newcastle
. The underlined part means______.
选项
A、easy
B、unnecessary
C、additional
D、excessive
答案
B
解析
词义理解题。carry coals to Newcastle是习语,其字面意思是“将煤运送到纽卡索”。纽卡索是英国一个以丰富的煤炭资源而闻名的沿海港口城市,所以说将煤运送到纽卡索是多此一举,该习语可以理解为“多此一举;画蛇添足;徒劳无功”,而unnecessary意为“不必要的;多余的”,两者意思相同,因此选项[B]为答案。easy意为“容易的,不难的”;additional意为“附加的,额外的”;excessive意为“过多的,极度的”。
