As long as we could look forward to getting a drink [of that water] later, there was something to live for.
A、We were all eager to drink that water.
B、We shouldn't just live for a drink of water.
C、If we had drunk up the water, we would be dead.
D、We needed something to live for, even just for a drink of water.
【正确答案】:D
【题目解析】:原句译文:只要我们一直盼着待会儿还能喝上一口水,我们就有了活下去的目标。本句实际意为人活着要有目标.不管这个目标是多么的渺小(哪怕只是为了喝一口水)。因此A项(我们都急需喝水)、B项(我们不能只为了一口水而活着)和C项(如果我们喝完了水,我们将会死去)所表达的含义均与原句不符。答案为D。
