问题描述:

We're short ---water.
A.for B.in C.at D.of
Why the answer is "D"?

D.of
be short of 缺乏…

for us to drink. We're short(of)water. Something must be(done) to stop this. 水是地球的生命血液。和空气、阳光一样,它对生命是非常重要

D be short of...译为:缺少,不足.根据句意,明显D是最佳选项.此题可能会误选A ,但是be short for 译为:缩写,缩略.例如:call me Jo--it's short for Joanna.

固定短语。be short of是缺少的意思
