應試亮劍之大學英語六級考試繙譯:No.31
Exercise Thirty-One
1. He works _______________(在倒數第二個辦公室).
2. The beauty of the lake is _______________(難以用語言形容).
3. ________________(一個人如果關在家裡),a person can’t know much about the world.
4. _______________(完成作業後),they went to the library.
5. I found him ________________(被打得青一塊紫一塊).
答案解析:
1. in the last office but one
解析:but經常與表示級的形容詞或first,next,last等同連用,如:Some people say this nation is the cleverest but one in the whole world.(有人說,這個民族在全世界範圍內聰明才智排第二。)She was the last but one to come.(她是倒數第二個來的。)
2. beyond description
解析:比起譯文not easy to describe in words,cannot be described by words,答案的譯文顯然要精妙得多。beyond用作介詞時可以表示exceeding,out the reach of,即:超出(理解、範圍、眼界)之上。如:This passage is beyond my comprehension.(這篇文章超出了我的理解力。)I won’t buy your radio set beyond my offer.(衹要超出我出的價錢,我就不買你這台收音機。)
3. Kept within houses
解析:過去分詞短語作狀語表示條件,相儅於一個條件狀語從句。Kept within houses要比If a person was kept within houses更簡潔明了,且可以避免前後句person的重複。請看下例:Given more time, I can also do it.(如果給我足夠時間,我也可以做此事。)過去分詞短語還可以作原因狀語、時間狀語、伴隨狀語等。考生應注意複習。如:
Influenced by his ideas, she joined the revolution too.(作原因狀語)
Heated,ice changes into water.(作條件狀語)
He went there with great hope,but returned greatly disappointed.(表伴隨狀況)
4. Having finished their homework
解析:我們知道,現在分詞在句中可以表示原因、時間、條件、結果等。本題考查了現在分詞短語作時間狀語的用法。由後半句可知,“完成作業”發生在“他們去圖書館”之前,因此,現在分詞短語需要用完成時態。如果分詞動作與謂語動詞動作同時發生,就用一般式,如:Seeing the picture,he couldn’t help thinking of her. (一看到照片,他就禁不住想起她。)
5. beaten black and blue
解析:本題考點有二:一是如何表達習語“青一塊紫一塊”;二是過去分詞作賓語補足語的用法。過去分詞作賓語補足語改爲被動語態時,可以省略to be,尤其是在like,want,order,wish後,如:I wish him driven away. = I wish him to be driven away。換成被動語態後就是:He is wished (to be ) driven away.
