题目解答
答案
本题考察语言交际能力。第一句为推测性陈述,第二句需明确否定。A项“it isn't the same”与语境无关;B项“it can't be true”语气过强;D项“I'd rather not”不符合语境;C项“I don't think so”最贴合对话需求,既表达否定又语气自然。
答案:C. I don't think so.
解析
本题考查英语交际用语的运用能力,核心在于根据对话情境选择恰当的回应方式。关键点在于理解推测性陈述的否定回应:当对方认为你们之前见过面时,如何委婉而明确地表达否定。需注意选项的语气是否自然、得体,避免过于绝对或偏离语境。
选项分析
A. it isn't the same
- 错误原因:此选项意为“不是同一件事”,与对话中“是否见过面”的话题无关,无法回应原句的核心内容。
B. it can't be true
- 错误原因:此选项语气过于绝对,暗示“不可能”,显得生硬,不符合日常交流中委婉否定的表达习惯。
C. I don't think so
- 正确原因:此选项通过“我认为不是”委婉表达否定,既明确回应对方的推测,又保持礼貌,符合英语交际中“间接否定”的特点。
D. I'd rather not
- 错误原因:此选项意为“我宁愿不”,通常用于表达个人偏好或拒绝请求(如“我不想谈”),与对话内容无关。
