答案
B. The person has an effect on someone or something
解析
本题考查对英语短语“make a difference”含义的理解。解题思路是明确该短语的常见释义,然后将各选项内容与该释义进行对比分析。
- “make a difference”常见的意思是“产生影响;有所作为”。
- 选项A “The person has no impact on the situation” 意思是这个人对情况没有影响,这与“make a difference”的含义完全相反,所以A选项错误。
- 选项B “The person has an effect on someone or something” 表示这个人对某人或某事有影响,这与“make a difference”的核心含义相符,所以B选项正确。
- 选项C “The person remains indifferent to the circumstances” 指这个人对情况漠不关心,“漠不关心”和“产生影响”是不同的概念,所以C选项错误。
- 选项D “The person is making a physical change to the environment” 说的是这个人对环境进行物理上的改变,“make a difference”并不局限于物理上的改变,范围过窄,所以D选项不是最佳答案。
