问题 When the English word "fresh" means "impertinent, sassy, cheeky" under the influence of the German word "frech", we say "fresh" is______. (  )

选项 A、an alien
B、a semantic-loan
C、a denizen
D、a translation-loan

答案B

解析 Semantic-loans are not borrowed with reference to the form,buttheir meanings are borrowed.借义词是只借义不借形的单词,即英语利用现有词的形式赋予其新的外来语含义,fresh借用了德语frech的意义,但形式没变,所以fresh在这里是借义词。
