題目翻譯
被 _______ 所支配,他不顧後果及他人所付出的代價,瘋狂地追求財富與權力。
關鍵線索
句中有:
- relentlessly pursued wealth and power(不斷追求財富與權力)
- heedless of the consequences(不顧後果)
- Consumed by ...(被……吞噬/支配)
因此空格應表示:
「貪婪、貪得無厭」
選項解析
(A) countenance
countenance = 面容、表情;支持
- His countenance looked tired.
(他的神情看起來很疲憊。)
與追求財富無關。
(B) austerity
austerity = 節儉、樸素;緊縮政策
- government austerity measures
(政府緊縮措施)
節儉與貪財剛好相反。
(C) deviance
deviance = 偏差行為、違規行為
- social deviance
(偏差行為)
雖然可能與負面行為有關,但無法直接解釋「追逐財富與權力」。
(D) avarice ✔
avarice = extreme greed(貪婪、貪得無厭)
- His avarice knew no bounds.
(他的貪婪毫無止境。) - Consumed by avarice, he sought more wealth.
(被貪婪支配,他不斷追求更多財富。)
