例题6 (2025·甘肃庆阳高三模拟) How old is the man?
A. 17.
B. 18.
C. 21.
正确答案:B
听力原文:
M: Don't embarrass me in front of my friends, Mom.
W: But I still remember when you were a little tiny new born thing in my arms. Eighteen years ago.
M: I bet you'll still be telling me that story at my twenty first birthday party.
重点句翻译
But I still remember when you were a little tiny new born thing in my arms. Eighteen years ago.
Trans.: 可我还记得十八年前,你还是个小小的婴儿,被我抱在怀里的样子。
I bet you'll still be telling me that story at my twenty first birthday party.
Trans.: 我敢打赌,等到我21岁生日派对那天,你肯定还会讲这件旧事。
分析
根据对话梳理年龄逻辑:女士提到十八年前男子刚出生,由此可算出男子现在18岁。C选项21岁是男子未来生日的年龄,并非当前年龄,因此选择 B 项。
