You’d better let me know as soon as there is a(n)____position in the branch office.
A、emptyD
【參考譯文】你最好一到分理處有了空缺就告訴我。
【試題分析】本題是一道近義詞組辨析題。
【詳細(xì)解答】“empty”含義為“空無一物的”;vacuum是名詞，含義為“真空，空虛”;“hollow”含義為“空洞的，中空的”，只有“vacant”與“position”搭配意為“空缺職位”。

翻譯：
幾千年的中國文化充實(shí)著中國夢(mèng)，同時(shí)，過去三十幾年的改革開放也激勵(lì)著中國夢(mèng)。中國夢(mèng)最顯著的特征是包容性和雙贏合作。這些也是使中國夢(mèng)擴(kuò)大它的全球影響范圍和被其他國家的人民認(rèn)可的基本特征。中國夢(mèng)是民族復(fù)興的夢(mèng)。它是建設(shè)一個(gè)強(qiáng)大繁榮的國家，給中國人民帶來幸福生活的夢(mèng)。中國夢(mèng)需要維持穩(wěn)定健康的經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展，科學(xué)管理社會(huì)，以及有效應(yīng)對(duì)外部發(fā)展的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)和挑戰(zhàn)。
