请教一题SAT字汇逻辑?
the supervisor forced his subordinates to (comply) with his every whim,lest they find themselves (banished) from his good graces.感觉这题逻辑怪怪的,

Answer 1

这里的elves是和whim对应的,也就是用elves比喻这个管理者的怪念头,其实就是看上去很有风度的管理者通过强制下属顺从自己的想法去掩盖翩翩风度下时常犯二的事实,后一句直译从翩翩风度中驱逐出的小精灵（淘气鬼）个人觉得比喻的很有水平,就是古怪的念头从大脑中被驱赶了出来,不就是犯二了吗...
