练习 1

Near the end of this dialogue, Bob asks the technician for his name. The technician replies that:

this information is confidential

this information is unknown

this information has already been catalogued

this information is very elegant

this information is available in a special section of the newspaper

不知道

Near the end of this dialogue, Bob asks the technician for his name. The technician replies that:

this information is confidential

This is the best choice here. The Techie says: "I'm afraid that's classified information, sir". This means that the technician is not allowed to release that information (his name).

this information is unknown

This is incorrect. Classified information is not "unknown" but rather kept secret.

this information has already been catalogued

"Classified" means "confidential" or "secret" as it is used in the dialogue. In another context, the verb "to classify" can mean to arrange or "file", but this definition does not make sense in this context.

this information is very elegant

No. Do not mistake "classified" with "classy".

this information is available in a special section of the newspaper

No. Do not mistake "classified information" with the "classified ads" which are personal announcements offering various services, usually found in newspapers and magazines.
