2008年大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)翻譯輕松練:第十七期

字號(hào):

模擬演練:
     1.I should say Henry is _______________(與其說(shuō)是個(gè)作家不如說(shuō)是)as a reporter.
    2.Mr.John is a happy man who_________________(從幫助別人中得到快樂(lè))。
    3.The sports meet which was planned to be held last Friday____________________________(最終因天氣不好而取消了)。
    4.Cancer is ______________(僅次于)heart disease as a cause of death.
    5.It is a pity that we should stay at home when we have____________________(這么好的天氣)。
    答案:
    1. not so much a writer
    (“與其說(shuō),不如說(shuō)”可以用not so much…as…的結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)表達(dá))
    2. derives pleasure from helping others
    (“derive from ”意為“從…獲得…”,from是介詞,所以后面要接動(dòng)名詞。要注意區(qū)分“derive…from”和“deprive sb. Of…”后者意為“剝奪某人的…”)
    3. was finally called off/cancelled because of the bad weather
    (分析題干可知句子的主語(yǔ)為“the sports meet”, which was planned to be held last Friday是修飾它的定語(yǔ)從句,且事情發(fā)生在過(guò)去,故謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用過(guò)去時(shí)單數(shù)。因動(dòng)詞“取消”的邏輯主語(yǔ)不是句子的主語(yǔ),因此要用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)?!叭∠钡谋磉_(dá)法有“call off,cancel”等)
    4. second only to.(本題考查be second to的結(jié)構(gòu),注意不要漏譯副詞“僅僅”)
    5. such fine weather.(such 可以表示“如此,這般”之意,其后可直接跟名詞,表強(qiáng)調(diào))
