16. If you are referring to my winning the English speech contest, I don't think it's such a big deal.

点睛

refer to含义丰富，可意为“参考；涉及；适用于；指的是”。在这句话里，其意为“指的是”，相当于mean。a big deal是口语表达，含义为“意义重大的事情”。如：
1) That's a big deal. 那是件大事。
2) I just want to eat it now; what's the big deal? 我就想现在吃，有什么大不了的？
3) I don't hide it, but I don't make a big deal about it. 我并没有遮掩，但我也没有大肆渲染。
本题的解题关键就在于对big deal的理解。

考点归纳

refer to的相关用法如下：
1) When I said some people were stupid, I wasn't referring to you. 当我说某些人愚蠢时，我指的不是你。
2) The regulations refer only to children. 这些规定只适用于儿童。
3) Please refer to a dictionary. 请查一下词典。
与deal相关的表达还有：
1) not a/no big deal的含义与big deal相反，意为“没什么大不了的”。如：
That's no big deal. 这没什么了不起的。
2) It's a deal.意为“一言为定。”它可用于表示两个人达成某个协议或是做成某个生意，也可简单地说成Deal！
3) a raw deal指“一桩吃亏的生意”。假如你刚买了一辆车，但不到一个星期就坏了，你就可以说That's really a raw deal！
