Exercise Twenty-Three
1. _______________that social environment is becoming worse.
2. The workmen think _______________.
3. The new government was accused _____________.
4. Only with combined efforts,________________.
5. Several thousands of quake-smitten inhabitants ________________.
1. The main reason why juveniles commit crimes is
解析:要正确翻译此句需要了解两点。第一,运用......的原因是由于的英语句型The reason why...is that...。在汉语句型里往往可以重复使用因为这个词,而英语只能用一次。第二,青少年犯罪叫做juveniles commit crimes,不能用young children,如:juvenile books;juvenile fashions。
2. it crucial to abide by the safety regulations
解析:本题考查了think it important/necessary/crucial/enjoyable...to do sth. 的表达。安全规则可以译成safety regulations/rules,遵守可以用以下词汇或词语:abide by,observe,stand to。
3. of unfulfilling his promise to lower the unemployment rate
解析:本题意为:新政府因未实现其降低失业率的承诺而被控诉。由于题干已经给出...was accused,那么译文必须采用be accused of doing的结构。未实现不能用unrealize,unrealize是指使不真实,使不实在,用unfulfil更准确。To lower the unemployment rate作后置定语修饰promise。
4. can we expect Taiwan to take a new face in due course
解析:本句意为:唯有通力合作,我们才能期望台湾不久有新的面貌。由于句子是由only with开头,后半句必须采用倒装形式。另外,期望......通常用expect+that+从句或expect+to+V.结构。呈现出新面貌的惯用表达是:to take a new face/to take a new look.不久的说法较多:in the coming future;before long;by and by;soon;in due course。
5. got plentiful relief from the government
解析:首先肯定的是,本句时态要用一般过去时,因为从中文谓语部分可知这是对过去事实的描述。充分的在这里是表示数量大的,供应丰富的,所以不能选用表示程度的adequate;而abundant通常用在be abundant in短语中使用,如:be abundant in petroleum deposits;这里可以选用plentiful,sufficient.救济是指public assistance,表示来自公共的物质援助。固定短语people on relief就是专门指接受救济的人。
