托福听力小对话【100】out of the question

(A) They must ask the professor about taking a longer vacation.

(B) They won’t be able to get an extension.

(C) There’s a question about enlarging the project.

(D) No one knows when the project is due.

听力原文/参考答案/解说

-- Do you think we can get an extension on out term project?

-- It’s out of the question. The professor is going on vacation as soon as the term’s finished.

Q: What does the woman mean?

参考答案　（B）　

out of the question (固定词组)，作“impossible”解。全句的意思是：it’s impossible for us to get an extension。B与这个意思是一致的。term project: 指期末应完成的论文、报告等。extension 指不能按期完成而要求延长期限。
