I am a foot taller than Napoleon and twice the weight of Twiggy; on my only visit to a beautician (美 容师), the woman said she found my face a challenge. Yet despite these social disadvantages I feel cheerful, happy, confident and secure.
I work for a daily newspaper and so get to a lot of places I would otherwise never see. This year I went to Ascot to write about the people there. I saw something there that made me realize the stupidity of trying to conform, of trying to be better than anyone else. There was a small, plump woman, all dressed up—huge hat, dress with pink butterflies, long white gloves. She also had a shooting stick But because she was so plump, when she sat on the stick it went deep into the ground and she couldn’t pull it out She tugged and tugged, tears of rage in her eyes. When the final tug brought it out, she crashed with it to the ground.
I saw her walk away. Her day had been ruined. She had made a fool of herself in public—she had impressed nobody. In her own sad, red eyes she was a failure.
I remember well when I was like that, in the days before I learned that nobody really cared what you do. I remember the pain of my first dance, something that is always meant to be a wonderful occasion for a girl. There was a fashion then for diamante (人造钻石) ear-rings, and I wore them so often practicing for the big night that I got two great sores on my ears and had to put sticking-plaster on them. Perhaps it was this that made nobody want to dance with me. Whatever it was, there I sat for four hours and 43 minutes. When I came home, I told my parents that I had a marvelous time and that my feet were sore from dancing. They were pleased at my success and went to bed happily, but I went to my room and tore the bits of sticking-plaster off my ears and felt forlorn (被遗弃的) and disconsolate. [br] Because of the Ascot woman’s ______, the stick had to be pulled out from the ground.
选项
答案
heavy weight/plumpness/fatness
解析
题目中because of引导的原因短语相当于原文中because引导的原因状语从句部分,由于because of后需接名词性成分,且形容词性所有格the Ascot woman’s属于定语成分,这也表明其后需修饰的成分为名词。故可得知答案应为she was so plump的名词性同义转换,即heavy weight,plumpness或fatness。
