Ambiguity often arises due to （ ）, as is shown in the sentence “He is a hard businessman.”
A、polysemy
B、synonymy
C、antonymy
D、homonomy
【正确答案】：A
【题目解析】：1、本题考查造成歧义的原因。多义词（polysemy）出现在不完整的语境中，会造成歧义。比如：he is a hard businessman. hard可以翻译成“勤劳的”，也可以翻译成“难对付的”。因此答案是A.2、知识扩展：造成歧义的原因还包括：（1）同音同形异义关系（homonymy）比如：They saw her duck. duck可以翻译成“鸭子”，也可以翻译成“快速低下头或弯下身”。（2）语法结构（grammatical structure）比如：The fish is ready to eat.这句话可理解为“鱼做好了，可以吃了”或“鱼准备好吃食物了”。
