[翻译]George说除非饿了他才杀生。
[分析]motive的意思是“动机，目的”;sensation的意思是“知觉，感觉”;cause的意思是“原因，理由”;Purpose的意思是“目的，意图”。Motive和purpose都有“目的”之意，但含义有很大区别。Motive指人的内心愿冲动，如爱、恨、报复或野心，这种冲动促使他带有强烈的目的感而采取行动。例如：His real motive for joining the club was not to make new friends, but to try to meet potential clients.他参加俱乐部的真正动机不是为了结识新朋友，而是为了寻求可能成为客户的人。Purpose表示某人为实现和达到所确定的目标或目的而采取果断的、深思熟虑的、有明确宗旨的行动，而且不懈努力以求实现。例如：He studied hard for the purpose of gaining the prize.他为获得奖品而努力学习。根据以上对两个词的辨析，不难看出，D更切合题意，为正确答案。
