If a child reaches adulthood with recollection
only of television, Little League, and birthday parties,
then that child has little to draw on when a true test of
character comes up-say, in a prickly business situation.
"__1__ that child feels grounded in
who he is and where he comes from,
everything else is an act," says etiquette expert Betty Jo Trakimas
請問這裡的grounded是什麼意思?
是stable的意思嗎?
另外,1的空格選項
(A)For (B)If (C)When (D)Unless 答案是D
不能選B嗎?

Grounded 本身指禁足,但這邊可能翻成囚禁(被侷限)

你說的feeld應該是feels吧?Unless 除非(=if not),所以這句可改寫:If that child doesn't feel groundedin who he is or where he comes from, everythingelse is an act.(如果那孩子沒基於自身定位和來歷,任何其他種種都只是裝腔作勢罷了。)be grounded in=bebased on 在...基礎上
