模擬演習(xí):
1. He wrote to say ___________________(他們終究還是不能給我一份工作).
2. There’s a man at the reception desk who seems very angry and I think he means__________________(想找麻煩).
3. I would_______________(不會(huì)訴諸法律)a court of law if I hadn’t been so desperate.
4. This popular sports car_________________(正在生產(chǎn)出來)out at the rate of a thousand a week.
5. Mark often_________________(試圖逃脫罰款)whenever he breaks traffic regulations.
答案:
1. they couldn’t give me a job after all
(本句直譯即可,say后面一般跟賓語從句,所譯的部分即為從句內(nèi)容,“終究”用after all來表示)
2. to make trouble
(本題考查固定短語make trouble“找麻煩”,此外還考查mean to do sth的結(jié)構(gòu))
3. have never resorted to
(本題考查虛擬語氣的形式,根據(jù)從句用的hadn’t been 可知,主句應(yīng)用would have done 的形式。Resort to 用于表示“訴諸”)
4. is now being turned
(根據(jù)時(shí)間副詞“正在”和“車是被生產(chǎn)的”這一概念可以判斷出譯文應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài),即be being 動(dòng)詞的過去分詞形式,本題另一難點(diǎn)在“turn out”生產(chǎn)這個(gè)詞組上,題干只給出了out,需要填入turn將其補(bǔ)全)
5. attempts to escape being fined
(本題考查固定短語attempt to do sth表示“努力做某事”,其次考查escape的用法,其后要接動(dòng)名詞形式,常與介詞from搭配)
