Lily complains that she has never got any mail. ________ I will write her right away.
- A. That's impossible.
- B. She is to blame.
- C. That's too bad.
题目解答
答案
Lily抱怨从未收到邮件，需选择恰当回应。A项“That's impossible”未表同情，不符语境；B项“She is to blame”带责备，与后文不符；C项“That's too bad”表同情，同时可引出“I will write her right away”，最贴合语境。综合分析，C项最佳。
答案：C. That's too bad.
解析
本题考查英语交际用语的运用能力，重点在于根据语境选择恰当的回应。关键点在于理解Lily的抱怨情绪以及后续回应的逻辑连贯性。需要判断选项中哪句话既表达对Lily情况的同情，又能自然引出“主动写信”的行为。
选项分析
选项A：That's impossible.
- 含义：表示怀疑邮件从未寄到的可能性。
- 问题：未对Lily的困扰表示同情，反而质疑事实，与后文“主动写信”缺乏情感连贯性。
选项B：She is to blame.
- 含义：暗示Lily自身存在过错。
- 问题：带有责备意味，与后文“主动帮助”的态度矛盾，无法衔接。
选项C：That's too bad.
- 含义：对Lily的遭遇表示同情。
- 优势：既表达了对Lily情况的关心，又为后续“主动写信”提供情感铺垫，逻辑自然。
结论：选项C最符合语境，既体现同理心，又为后续行动提供合理过渡。
