?20116月大學英語四級真題

87.The university authorities did not approve the regulation,____________________________(也沒有解釋為什么).

學校領導沒有批準這項制度,也沒有解釋為什么。

解析:nor did they make any explanation / nor did they give the reason for doing so.

考察兩個知識點。兩個否定分句的并列結構,后一個否定詞開頭的分句中,主謂部分要倒裝。nor的倒裝句用法,后半句表示“也不”的否定意義,注意助動詞的時態(tài)與上半句保持一致;“作解釋”的表達,考察了漢譯英中動詞轉名詞的技巧,explain →explanation,或者give an explanation.(注意別寫錯了explanation,需要去掉i的)

88. Jane is tired of dealing with customer complaints and wishes that she,_______________________(能被分配做另一項工作).

Jane對處理客戶投訴的工作厭倦了,她想被分配做另一項工作。

解析:could be assigned (to) another job.

考察wish從句的虛擬語氣用法(can→could)和“分配某人做某事”的詞組搭配,assign sb. to sth. 或者assign sb. sth.也可用be arranged to another post.

89. John rescued the drowning child _______________________(冒著自己生命危險).

John 冒著自己的生命危險救落水兒童

解析:at the risk of his own life

考察“冒著…的危險/風險做某事”的詞組搭配:at the risk of sth. ,可以用at the ?expense of one’s own life(冒著某人的生命危險做某事)“冒風險”可以用risk (doing) sth.

90. George called his boss from the airport but it(接電話的卻是他的助手).

George 從機場打電話給他的老板,接電話的卻是他的助手。

解析:was his assistant who answered / picked up the phone

這句比較靈活,在句法上,既可以使用強調句結構,也可以采用turn out的慣用搭配(turned out that his assistant answered / picked up the phone);在“接電話”的表達上,可以用pick up / answer the phone.

強調句結構為it be sb. who do sth. ,而turn out變化則較多,可以用turn out to be sb. who do sth.或者turn out + that + 從句。

91. Although he was interested in philosophy, his father__________________________(他的父親說服他)majoring in law.

盡管他對哲學感興趣,但是他父親說服他去修法律。

解析:persuaded him into / talked him into

本題考察“說服某人做某事”的表達,persuade / talk sb. into doing sth.或者persuade sb to do sth.

整體評價:今年6月的翻譯題難度適中,89和91題的詞組搭配是拿分題,而87題的倒裝結構和88題的虛擬語氣用法也是廣大四級考生的“老朋友”,不熟悉實在說不過去~本文是系列完結篇,最后預祝大家順利取得理想成績!
