    解析:

    being totally out of touch with business at home

    D

    leaving all care and worry behind


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    语义题。“out of sight and out of mind”原意为“眼不见心不烦”。本段首句指出承担海外任务对于在公司内的升迁起着日益重要的作用。接着该引用部分下一句继续进行解释道“在另一个国家工作的行政主管可以相信海外任务对于公司计划的成功起着至关重要的作用,并且接受一个新的海外任务时,晋升往往会伴随而来”。由此可知此处指驻扎在外的行政主管担心,由于长期在外工作,领导无法看见自己的努力,因此会被领导淡忘,结果会错过晋升的机会。因此选C。
