The following quotation is from one of the poems by T. S. Eliot:
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous,
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
What does the first line show about the speaker?
【正确答案】:
PRUFROCK IS CONSCIOUS OF THE FACT THAT HE IS LIKE HAMLET IN SOME RESPECTS. BUT HE IS SENSIBLE ENOUGH THAT HE CAN'T BE COMPARED WITH HAMLET.
【题目解析】:引文的第一句话表明了普鲁弗洛克清楚地知道一个事实就是他在一些方面像哈姆雷特,但是他比哈姆雷特更加理智,所以他不能和哈姆雷特相比。
