Question

求助：新概念英语三里面的一道选择题。

5 But _____ have had the opportunity to find out. (ll.7-8)
a. we few b. hardly anybody c. little people d. not many

原文是"But few of us have had the opportunity to find out," 从选项中选一个合适的答案使其表达意思与原文相同。

是选b还是选d？我感觉两个都可以。请教大虾~

Answer 1

D
few=not many

追问

嗯嗯。再请问一下，如果不要求与原文一致，选b是否存在语法错误？

追答

不对，应该是：Hardly has anybody had the opportunity to find out.(注意句子的倒装）

Answer 2

b几乎没人与原文意思相符，d not many 缺少修饰词啊，不完整
c选项，很明显这里需要的是少数人，应该用few，little表示可爱的人，小人物

Answer 3

C
