defect和shortcoming
The ____ in her character has hindered her from advancement in her career.
A.defect B.shortcoming
可是有解释是:shortcoming 是a fault in sb’s character,a plan,a system,etc性格,计划,系统里的一个缺点,短处
defect意思是a fault in sth or in the way it has been made which means that it is not perfect,过失,瑕疵.
既然shortcoming可以指性格上的缺陷,那为什么B不对.
defect和shortcoming
如果单就这两个词而言,个人觉得可能B还更合适一些.defect更多的时用在产品和机器什么的上面,当然也会用genetic defect
但是shortcoming通常用复数,不管是朗文还是牛津都注解了usu plural.
