If a child reaches adulthood with recollection
only of television, Little League, and birthday parties,
then that child has little to draw on when a true test of
character comes up-say, in a prickly business situation.
"__1__ that child feels grounded in
who he is and where he comes from,
everything else is an act," says etiquette expert Betty Jo Trakimas
请问这里的grounded是什么意思?
是stable的意思吗?
另外,1的空格选项
(A)For (B)If (C)When (D)Unless 答案是D
不能选B吗?

Grounded 本身指禁足,但这边可能翻成囚禁(被侷限)

你说的feeld应该是feels吧?Unless 除非(=if not),所以这句可改写:If that child doesn't feel groundedin who he is or where he comes from, everythingelse is an act.(如果那孩子没基于自身定位和来历,任何其他种种都只是装腔作势罢了。)be grounded in=bebased on 在...基础上
