  • 答案:D

    本句意思是:旧世界的礼数使我继续同他进行无法容忍的谈话。oblige 意为“迫使”,例如:The law oblige parents to send their children to school.法律上要求父母送子女入学。strain意为“拉紧”,例如:Too heavy a load will strain the rope to its breaking point.负载过重会把绳子拉紧到崩断的地步。upset意为“推翻”,例如:The generals plotted to upset the government.将军们策划推翻政府。persuade意为“说服”,例如:How can I persuade you of my sincerity?我如何能够让你相信我的诚意?compel意为“强迫”,例如:Nothing can compel me to do such a thing.没有什么可以强迫我做这件事。只有选项D同句中画线单词含义接近。
