Few pleasures can equal ____ of a cool drink on a hot day.
A.some B.any C.that D.those
为什么不能选D

解答:

Few pleasures can equal ____ of a cool drink on a hot day.
很少有什么乐事能和炎炎夏日喝上一口冷饮那份酷爽的感觉相提并论了。

首先,我完全有理由像楼主一样,提出质疑:为什么不选those ,因为those也可指代pleasures而且都是复数,似乎更匹配啊。
但分析后,我们知道,pleasure有两种基本含义:其一,喜欢的活动或体验,是可数名词。其二,幸福,愉悦的感觉,是不可数名词。显然,选项C。that正是指代pleasure的后一种含义。

请看字典的解释:
pleasure S2 W2
1 [uncountable] the feeling of happiness, enjoyment, or satisfaction that you get from an experience
例 She sipped her drink with obvious pleasure.

2 [countable] an activity or experience that you enjoy very much:
例 the simple pleasures of life
