问题 There is only one difference between an old man and a young one: the young one has a glorious future before him and the old one has a ______ future behind him.
选项 A、splendid
B、conspicuous
C、uproarious
D、imminent
答案A
解析 句子冒号后是个排比句，说明“老人和年轻人只有一点不同”，一个是future before him，一个是 future behind him。因此，空白处的形容词的意义应该与glorious(光明的)相近，即splendid，意为“辉煌的”。句中have a future是习惯用法，指“成功的机会”。另外，此处的before和behind若译成汉语，意义与英语的恰好相反。此句的译文是“老年人和年轻人只有一点不同：年轻人的成功机会在今后，而老年人的成功经历在过去”。imminent意为“将要发生的”；uproarious意为“喧嚣的，令人捧腹大笑的”；conspicuous意为“显著的，令人注目的”。
