skittish 韦氏~ 注意第二个解释的~~~~~~~
1 a : lively or frisky in action : CAPRICIOUS
b : VARIABLE, FLUCTUATING
2 : easily frightened : RESTIVE *a skittish horse*
3 a : COY, BASHFUL b : marked by extreme caution : WARY
第一题第二个空我觉得是 by contrast 要强对比 B明显不够强 第三个空无能为力~作者: 水滴石穿k 时间: 2012-5-25 12:59:40
increaingly restive electorate对应besieged by charges
skittish在韦氏词典的第三条意思就是restive，这两者是同义词作者: songxiaoshi 时间: 2012-5-28 18:30:16
