题目解答

答案

B. The process or conditions

解析

本题考查对特定短语中词汇含义的理解。解题思路是先明确短语 “when the going gets tough” 的常见语义，再分析每个选项与该语义的匹配度。

  • “when the going gets tough” 是一个常用的英语表达，其意思是“当情况变得艰难时” 。
  • 选项A：“The act of walking or moving” 意思是“行走或移动的行为”，这与短语所表达的“情况变得艰难”的语义不相符，所以A选项错误。
  • 选项B：“The process or conditions” 表示“过程或状况”，与 “when the going gets tough” 中 “the going” 所代表的“情况、状况”意思一致，所以B选项正确。
  • 选项C：“The tough people in society” 指“社会上强硬的人”，和短语所表达的整体意思没有关联，所以C选项错误。
  • 选项D：“The accounting profession” 是“会计行业”，与该短语的语义毫无关系，所以D选项错误。
