【每日译词：声嘶力竭】

1. 她声嘶力竭地尖叫着。

【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练（8.16）参考答案

1.A

【句意】丽莎在开始工作时就表现出主动性，一年以后就被提拔为经理。

【解析】名词词义辨析。initiative“倡议；主动性”；ambition“雄心；志向”；attribute“特质”；popularity“普及，流行”。由句中关键词“showed表现出”与“was promoted to manager after a year一年以后就被提拔为经理”的对应知“主动性”符合语境，故A项正确。

2.D

【句意】到一个新国家后，你一定要让自己适应新的礼仪和风俗。

【解析】固定搭配。由关键信息“a new country”及“new manners and customs”知这里指代“适应”，再由固定搭配“adapt oneself to sth.让自己适应……”知D项正确。adopt“采取，接受”；fit“安装，使……合身”；suit“适合，使适应”，没有suit oneself to sth.的搭配。

【每日译词参考答案】

1. She screamed as loudly as she could.

“声嘶力竭”为汉语成语，其意思是“声音嘶哑，气力用尽”，用来形容“拼命地叫喊”。可以将其译为“shout oneself hoarse”或“shout oneself blue in the face”等。
