Question

【题目】—________, and every man his hour.

—But mine seems a very long time coming.

A.a cat has nine livesB.Rats desert a sinking ship

C.Every dog has his dayD.Fine feathers make fine birds

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】

考查习惯表达。句意：——人人皆有得意时。——但我的好像还要很久才来。A. a cat has nine lives猫有九条命，寓意吉人自有天相；B. Rats desert a sinking ship船沉鼠先逃，指那些一遇到危险就争先寻求安全或一看见困难便躲得老远的人；C. Every dog has his day人人都有得意的日子；D. Fine feathers make fine birds人靠衣装。结合后半句 and every man his hour.可知此处为习惯表达“Every dog has his day, and every man his hour.”表示“人人皆有得意时”。故选C。
