Always young

My aunt Jennifer is an actress.She must be at least thirty-five years old.In spite of this,she often appears on the stage as a young girl.Jennifer will have to take part in a new play soon.This time,she will be a girl of seventeen.In the play,she must appear in a bright red dress and long black stockings.Last year,in another playshe had to wear short sock and a bright,orange-coloured dress.If anyone ever asks her how old she is,she always answers,'Darling,it must be terrible to be grown up!'

1 The story about Jennifer suggests that ______ .
a.she is not too old to appear on stage as a young girl
b.she is too young to appear on stage as a young girl
c.she is the right age to appear on stage as a young girl
d.she is too old to appear on stage as a young girl

答案是D
我就不明白了,明明都以经上太演出了,为什么还说太老以至于不能.....

听到的一个解释是A中的意思是说她还年轻.

选D的原因是:

1.35岁的人演17岁的角色的确太老了。

2.虽然too···to有“因为太···而不能···”的意思,但是在这里,D答案的意思是:“在台上演小女孩的她的确太老了!!”这里强调了她老,但是没有说她不能上台的意思,而是肯定了她已经上台了,只是年龄太大了!

3.第一句意思:对于在台上演小女孩,她一点都不老。(35装嫩还不老啊?)
第二句意思:对于在台上演小女孩,她太年轻了。(35还年轻!)
第三句意思:对于在台上演小女孩,她年龄太合适了。(35适合演小女孩?)
第四句意思:对于在台上演小女孩,她年龄太大了。(地球人都这么觉得)

虽已经出演,但也不能说明她年轻啊
事实上她就是太老了,课文中一再说明这个问题了
at least thirty-five 比17大太多了吧
作者想要表达的意思是做题的依据

文章说她已经35岁,常常还不得不演一些小女孩角色,以至于有人问他年龄时,她很无奈的答道:长大对我来说是件很困难的事
