2010年6月英语六级翻译点评

82. ____________________(他们的独生儿子从未想过) to leave them and strike out on his own though he is in his late twenties.
答案：Their only son has never thought
评析：本题所考察的不是一个固定短语，而是一个临时搭配，think to do sth的意思“想到做某事”，尤用于否定句中。请看《纽约时报》的例句：
As a mother, I never thought to ask myself how long I should try to preserve the lie of Santa Claus — as long as possible, I assumed. ( December 20, 2009)
作为一个母亲，我从未想到问一问自己：我该把这个圣诞老人的谎言保持多久--我想，能多久就多久吧。

83. Before you take any action, please remember to _______________（权衡你的决定会产生的后果）.
答案：weigh the consequences of your decision
评析：本题是考察动词weigh的用法，这个单词除了“称量”的意思之外，还有“权衡，斟酌”之意。这里的consequence表示结果，要记得用复数。

84. He assured his friend that under no circumstances _________________（他会违背还钱的承诺）.
答案：would he break / breach his promise/commitment to pay back / repay the money.
评析：本题考察的是倒装的用法，He assured his friend that后面跟的是一个宾语从句，这个宾语从句的句首有表示否定意义的短语under no circumstance（决不）。所以，这个宾语从句的主谓要倒装。

85. Most educators advise that kids ____________________ （不要沉溺于电脑游戏）.
答案：(should) not be addicted to computer games. / (should) not indulge (themselves) in computer games
评析：本句的谓语动词是advise，所以宾语从句要用虚拟语气，即从句的谓语用should加动词原形，且should也可以省略。

86. Business major as he is, he has ____________________ （从未考虑过从事推销员的工作）.
答案：never considered working as a salesman / taking a job as a salesman
评析：本题考察的是动词consider的用法，这个动词要求跟名词或动名词做宾语。“做推销员的工作”，可以说work as a salesman或者take a job as a salesman。请看《纽约时报》上的一个例句：
After putting in resume after resume, Mr. Mucha finally took a job as a Census worker. ( June 4, 2010 )
在投了一份又一份的个人简历之后，姆查先生终于找到了一份人口普查员的工作。
