Answer

D

【解析】

试题分析：句意：－我下次要更加努力了。－你说了一百遍了。但是“说得好不如做得好” A. the early bird catches the worm.早起的鸟儿有虫吃。用于激励人们早起；B. a friend in need is a friend indeed.患难朋友才是真朋友。用于形容患难之交；C. you can’t burn the candle at both ends蜡烛不能两头点，精神不成过度耗。指鱼和熊掌不可兼得；D. actions speak louder than words行胜于言; 行动胜于空话; 说得好不如做得好。本句指你总是停留中口头上，没有实际的行动。故选D。
