6、There are a number of other positions to consider.

　　"A number of" 換成 "a lot of" 或者是”a great many”行不行，為什么?

　　可以換成a lot of或a great many of,因為position是可數(shù)名詞。如果這里是不可數(shù)名詞，則只能用a number of代替而不能用a great many.修飾可數(shù)/不可數(shù)都行：a number of/a lot of,只能修飾可數(shù)：a great many of(與many性質(zhì)一樣)

　　7、Would you mind letting me take a look in your briefcase?

　　將"letting me"換成 "let me" 行不行，為什么?

　　不行，mind是動詞，后面不能直接跟動詞原形，一般接名詞(或動名詞),這里的letting是let的動名詞形式。

　　8、I’m afraid I certainly do mind, if it’s all the same to you.

　　“Do mind”與” all the same”什么意思?

　　do mind: 在英語中強調(diào)動詞，用助動詞do(各種時態(tài))+動詞原形。

　　all the same: 完全一樣，用于強調(diào)。轉(zhuǎn)自:考試網(wǎng) - [Examw.Com]

　　盡管你沒有及時完成，我還是一樣很感激你。

　　9、One day the life free from the harsh decrees of state-sponsored racial repression. (種族壓迫)

　　在這句話中，state-sponsored 翻譯成什么意思最好?

　　state-sponsored:國家發(fā)起的。用于修飾racial repression(種族壓迫),是復(fù)合形容詞，復(fù)合形容詞的相結(jié)合。
