Mr Black said the local bird was an interpreter because
A．the three Chinese birds didn’t know English
B．it was different from the Chinese birds
C．he didn’t want to tell Tony the truth and he was making a joke
参考答案
C
答案解析
[C]。分析推理题。文章最后三段记叙了Mr Black回到伦敦、丢失一只鸟、他买了一只本地鸟凑数、然后向孩子解释的过程。由常识可知，孩子发现那只本地鸟后Mr Black肯定不好意思实话实说，他说那只鸟是“翻译”只可能是一种玩笑的说法，选[C]。这也正是这个故事的幽默所在：他将鸟与人进行类比，中国的鸟到英国去也需要一个“翻译”。
