不好意思
想请教板上的大大一题单字的问题
跟朋友讨论之后还是不太懂这一题
There is a ______ in the book by an author who plows through human illusions,
describing the classical values of courage, elegance, and genuineness
against the modern diseases of cravenness, ________, and phoniness.
第一格
A. caustic sommentary
B. sharp contrast
C. bombastic story
第二格
D. philistinism
E. cynicism
F. chauvinism
答案分别是B,D
想请问第一格是sharp contrast 是因为 against这个字吗
第二格实在不太懂为什么是philistinism
不好意思 麻烦请各位大大解答了
谢谢
