1.That theory must go hand in hand with practice is a principle_ we should always keep in mind _( 这是我们应当牢记的一条原则 )

2. _ Apart from setting a good example _ (除了以身作则) , there ’ s no better way to teach children.

3. The more things a man is ashamed of, _ the more respectable he is _ (他就越受人尊敬) .

4.True wisdom consists not only in seeing what is before your eyes, _ but also in foreseeing what is to come __ (而且在于预见将来的事情) .

5.Not until people can completely trust you _ will you be able to positively influence them _ (你才能对他们产生积极的影响) .

答案及解析:

1.we should always keep in mind
2.Apart from setting a good example
3.the more respectable he is.
4.but also in foreseeing what is to come
5.will you be able to positively influence them.

1.“牢记”-keep in mind/learn by heart/remember firmly等等,注意是“应当”,使用should而非must,一个简单的单词会改变原意哦!

2.首先来看“除了”-besides、except、apart from是沪友最常用的,而在这里使用apart from最合适。
besides用做除了以外=except for
如:What has he done, besides reading the paper? 除了看报,他还做了什么?
不过这个词更常见是用做副词 如:Besides, I want you to promise me one thing.
此外,我要你答应我一件事。
except与except for有时可以通用,不过,一般情况下,except for可置于句首,而except则不能。
以身作则:set oneself an example to others

3.主要考察the more…the more句型。

4.含有句型not only…but also,然后是对称问题,前面是consisits in seeing后面肯定是in doing sth.再者是“预见”-foresee和predict经常可以互换,这样的题目注意踩点翻译,才是拿分的硬道理。

5.又见not until置句首,毫不犹豫就要用倒装了!Not until引出主从复合句,主句倒装,从句不倒装。那么谓语是什么呢?应该是will,句子意思是“当……才能”,那么就是当主句提的条件成熟后才会发生的事情,应该用将来时。搞清谓语,我们就要将谓语前置(因为是半倒装),另外一个点就是“对他们产生积极影响”可以是have a positive effect/influence on them,注意这里一定是搭配on。另外回答一沪友提问,impact一样是固定搭配on的,have an impact on.
