The final score of the basketball match was 93-94. We were only ________ beaten.
A.nearly
B.slightly
C.narrowly
D.lightly
答案:C
副词narrowly在此表示“勉强地”,又如:He narrowly escaped being run over. 他差点儿被车压死。 The proposal to change the rules was narrowly defeated by 201 votes to 196. 建议改变规则的提议以196票对201票的微弱差额被否决了。本题句意:篮球赛的最后比分是93比94。我们以微弱的劣势输掉了比赛。
