The sentence "It's a challenging job, but a rewarding one." means that ________.
A. it's not a good job, so you should not take it
B. the job will bring you a lot of money
C. it's a difficult job, and the pay is low

题目解答
答案
D. the job is difficult, but it is worth doing
解析
本题考查对句子中形容词含义的理解,特别是“challenging”和“rewarding”的语境意义。关键在于理解这两个形容词的常见用法,以及如何通过并列结构推断整体句意。“challenging”表示“有挑战性、困难”,“rewarding”表示“值得的、有回报的”,两者通过“but”连接,形成对比但互补的关系。
选项分析
选项A
“it's not a good job”
错误。虽然“challenging”说明工作困难,但“rewarding”强调工作有回报,整体并非否定评价。
选项B
“the job will bring you a lot of money”
错误。“rewarding”通常指“精神上的满足”或“非金钱回报**,而非“大量金钱”。
选项C
“it's a difficult job, and the pay is low”
错误。原句未提及“工资低”,“rewarding”与“pay”无关。
选项D
“the job is difficult, but it is worth doing”
正确。“challenging”对应“difficult”,“rewarding”对应“worth doing”,完整体现原句的对比与肯定。
