2003年8月Q22 Listening
W1: Weren’t you the person who said that not many
students would sigh up for the talent show?
W2: Yeah, I was really off the mark on that prediction.

What can be inferred from the conversation?

A:(a)A lot of students entered the talent show
(b)The talent show was canceled
(c)Not many students enjoy talent show
(d)The speakers are judges for the talent show
ans:(a)

script裡特別將"off the mark"標示出來
可是我查不到"off the mark"是什麼意思
請問是script錯了...還是有特別的意思呢???
Thanks

請問是朗文托福聖經嗎?哪一頁
off the mark=wide of the mark ：not correct
synonym： inaccurate
ex: Our cost estimate was away off the mark .

這樣改對嗎？
謝謝，我為這一題也想破頭了。

"Longman" stands for "Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English".

22. W1: Weren’t you the person who said that not many students would sigh up for the talent show?
W2: Yes, I was really off the mark（不相关） on that prediction.
What can be inferred from the conversation?
(a)A lot of students entered the talent show
(b)The talent show was canceled
(c )Not many students enjoy talent shows
(d)The speakers are judges for the talent show

感覺上看起來好像沒有很多人去talent show，但是答案怎麼會是(A)呢？幫忙解惑一下

按照上面回文, off the mark = not correct
所以答案就會是A 了.
