问题 What does "He wisely refused to spend his money" mean?
选项 A、It was wise of him to refuse to spend his money.
B、He refused to spend his money in a wise manner.
C、He was short of money and didn’t want to buy anything.
D、He refused, in a wise manner, to spend his money.
答案A
解析 从语法上看，副词wisely修饰动词refused；但从语义上来看，本句实际上是说主语He做出“拒绝”的行为是“明智的”，wisely说明的是发出动作的人的特性，所以答案是A。本题D是强干扰项，a wise manner并没有真正揭示句中wisely的语义关系。英语中常用wise，intelligent，foofish等说明人的词语修饰主体发出的动作，从而形成了所谓的“移就”修辞手法(transferred epithet)，又如：He had some cheerful wine at the party．
