新概念英语二册第29课的问题：The car park was deserted.It was () A.a desert B.empty C.abandoned
原文如下：Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service.The 'taxi' is a smallSwiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'.This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers.Themost surprising thing about it,however,is that it can land anywhere:on snow,water,or even on aploughed field.Captain Fawcett's first passenger was a doctor who flew from Birmingham to alonely village in the Welsh mountains.Since then,Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to manyunusual places.Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion,he landed ina deserted car park.Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman.Theman wanted to fly to Rockall,a lonely island in the Atlantic Ocean,but Captain Fawcett did not takehim because the trip was too dangerous.
The car park was deserted.It was ()A.a desert B.empty C.abandoned D.wasted 为何不选C呢,标准答案是B,

Answer 1

不选abandoned是因为它的意思：“If you abandon a place,thing,or person,you leave the place,thing,or person permanently or for a long time,especially when you should not do so”,即abandon常指本不该的,不好的抛弃行为如父母遗弃子女.而desert的意思是“If people or animals desert a place,they leave it and it becomes empty”,即离开某地使之荒废、空无一人.所以应该选empty
