问题 The public opinion was that the time was not______for the election of such a radical candidate as Mr. Jones.
选项 A、reasonable
B、ripe
C、ready
D、practical
答案B
解析 这四个形容词填人句中如果从汉语角度理解似乎哪一个都讲得通，但仔细一推敲却不尽然。reasonable意为according to reason“合理的”；习惯上不说the time is reason—able，但说a reasonable time“适当的时间”；ready“准备好的”，本身就含有“该做……的时候了”，因此，一般不说the time is ready for…；practical“实际的”，语义上也不能与time构成主表结构。The time is ripe for…“……的时机已经成熟”已成为固定用法，time在句中指time for a certain event，for a purpose“时机”，如bide one’stime“等待时机”。再如：The time is ripe for a new foreign policy．“制定新外交政策的时机已成熟。”The time is ripe for such forms of action to be taken now．“以这种形式采取行动的时机已经成熟。”题句意：“舆论认为，推选琼斯先生这样激进的候选人，时机还不够成熟。”
