A donkey may permit himself to fall under his burden, but not a human being, the best of creation.
A、...a human being should not fail like a donkey.
B、...a human being should not behave like a donkey.
C、...a human being should forever strive for a better life.
D、...a human being should not give up under harsh conditions.
【正确答案】：D
【题目解析】：原句译文：一头驴可以让自己被压倒，但是人不能，人是上帝创造的最优秀的成果。本句真正强调的是人不会被困境（或困难）压倒，不会向困难屈服，因此A、B项中将人类和驴来作比较显得不符合原意；C项意为每个人都应该永远追求好的生活，与原文不符。答案为D。
