88. Not only ___________________________ (他向我收費(fèi)過高), but he didn’t do a good repair job either.

　　[關(guān)鍵詞]收費(fèi)過高――overcharge, charge too much/high

　　[連 接]句首的Not only決定了倒裝連接，下文用了過去時(shí)態(tài)，因此，這里需在he之前加did。

　　[優(yōu) 化](Not only) did he charge me too much/high, / did he overcharge me, …。

　　[點(diǎn) 評(píng)]如果未能想出用overcharge/charge too much表示“收費(fèi)過高”，也可以將其含義“化解”掉，用ask for too much來表達(dá)，答案可以是did he ask me for too much。

　　89. Your losses in trade this year are nothing ___________________________(與我的相比).

　　[關(guān)鍵詞]相比――compare (with), in comparison with；我的――mine, my losses

　　[連 接]compare與其邏輯主語(yǔ)Your losses之間需采用被動(dòng)連接。

　　[優(yōu) 化]…in comparison with mine或compared with mine。

　　[點(diǎn) 評(píng)]此處最好用介詞詞組，如果用compared with mine，則放在句首更合適。

　　90. On average, it is said, visitors spend only ___________________________ (一半的錢) in a day in Leeds as in London.

　　[關(guān)鍵詞]一半――half；錢――money

　　[連 接]注意后文的as，此處需用一比較連接詞as，并在as后需增添一形容詞或副詞。

　　[優(yōu) 化]… half as much money。

　　[點(diǎn) 評(píng)]這里因?yàn)榍拔挠衧pend，這里可以省略money；此處如果先把“一半”的意思撇開，更易“化解”原文，即先譯出“一天里在利茲和在倫敦花同樣多的錢”，spend as much (money) in a day in Leeds as in London，然后將“(只有)一半”加進(jìn)去，這樣來看(only) half只能放在as much前。

　　91. By contrast, American mothers were more likely _______________________________ (把孩子的成功歸因于) natural talent.

　　[關(guān)鍵詞]孩子的成功――children’s success / success of the children；把……歸因于――attribute… to / owe… to

　　[連 接]上文的were more likely后需接to。

　　[優(yōu) 化]to attribute their children’s success / success of their children to…。

　　[點(diǎn) 評(píng)]“把……歸因于”也可以化解為“相信……的原因是……”，即believe that their children’s success is due to…/ the main factor for their children’s success is。
