C
以我六级的水平判断绝对是C
就词性而言,alive只能用作形容词,不能作名词;living既可作形容词,又可作名词.例:
Many people were burnt alive in the conflagration that happened in a multi-storeyed building.
在一幢多层大厦内发生的大火中,很多人被活活烧死.
Our living standards are rising steadily.
我们的生活水平在不断提高.
Those who enjoy a good living seldom understand the suffering of the poor.
过着美好生活的人一般都不明白穷人所受之苦.
在某些场合下,living和alive表示的涵义并不相同,尽管它们都用作表语.例如:
At last we found him in a trap in the forest,still living but not alive.
通过对比,可以看出,living之意是“活的”;alive 之意是“有气息的”.这里的not alive表示人虽然还活着,但已“气息奄奄”、“没有生气”了.
Alive有时尚可表示“alert”“感觉到的”、“敏感的”涵义.如:
He is alive to the imminent danger.
他感觉到那迫在眉睫的危险.
