英语六级翻译解析03
1. We can say a lot of things about those _______________ (毕生致力于诗歌的人): they are passionate, impulsive, and unique.
解析:本句是一个定语从句,先行词是those指代人,因此用who引导; 致力于:devote/dedicate one's life/oneself to sth.
答案:who have devoted/dedicated their lives/themselves to poetry
2. Mary couldn't have received my letter, _______________ (否则她上周就该回信了).
解析:此题考查考生对虚拟语气的掌握情况。对过去的虚拟我们要使用would/should have done。
答案:or/otherwise she should/would have written back last week.
3. Nancy is supposed to _______________ (做完化学实验)at least two weeks ago.
解析:此题考查的是现在完成时。be supposed to do sth. 是固定用法,但考虑到实验是 "two weeks ago"完成的动作,此处应该用动词不定式的完成时。
答案:have finished the chemical experiment(s)
4. Never once _____________ (老两口互相争吵)since they were married 40 years ago.
解析:此题考查倒装句的使用。英语中表示否定含义的词never, little, seldom, not until, hardly,
no sooner等, 置于句首时主谓结构要用倒装语序,又在since+时间点的句型中,主句要使用完成时。
答案:have the old couple quarreled with each other
5. ____________________ (一个国家未来的繁荣在很大程度上有赖于)the quality of education of its people.
解析:注意高频词:prosperity;此句的考点是主谓一致。"很大程度上"可译作largely, mainly 或to a large/great extent,"有赖于"是 "depend/rest on/upon",这一词组在2007年12月的翻译中也出现过。
答案:The future prosperity of a nation depends/rests largely/mainly on/upon
