3、This is the _____ piano on which the composer created some of his greatest works.
A. actual B. genuine C. real D. original
[答案] A. actual [注釋]本題中actual (=existing in fact, not imaginary) 實際使用過的。actual, read, genuine是同義詞, 有時可以互換, 如:an actual (or real) event in history, (歷史上的真實事件) , real (or genuine) banknotes (真鈔票), 其反義詞是false (假的) ; original (原來的) , 其反義詞是duplicate (復(fù)制的) 。從不同的角度看, 似乎任何一個選擇都說得過去, 但按照題意選A. actual 最佳, 因為題中強(qiáng)調(diào)的不是鋼琴的真假, 而是指作曲家“實際使用過的”。本題譯文:這是作曲家創(chuàng)作他的一些杰出作品時實際使用過的那臺鋼琴。
