题干翻译:文章中 feats 这个词最接近什么意思? 解题方法:看 feats 修饰的是什么。这里说 aqueducts 是古代文明中 impressive engineering feats,语气是正面的。 定位句翻译与分析:句子意思是“引水渠是古代文明中令人印象深刻的工程成就之一”。feats 在这里是 achievements。 选项解析:B 正确,achievements 表示“成就”,和前面的 impressive engineering 搭配最自然。A examples 是“例子”,只表示举例,不强调工程难度或成果;C skills 是“技能”,偏能力本身,不是建成的工程成果;D investments 是“投资”,偏投入资金,也不符合这里语境。
