四级翻译练习2

　　1.How long dose a jacket like this last me? _______________________ (这要看你多长时间穿一次).

　　2. What a lovely party! Its worth_________________( 牢记一生 ).

　　3. The manager ___________________ (本可以亲自参加会议),but he was called away for some urgent business abroad.

　　4. George called his boss from the airport but it___________________(接电话的却是他的助手).

　　5. Much ____________________ (我感到遗憾), I was unable to finish the work on time.

　　答案与解析：

　　1.It depends on how often you wear it解析：本题考察一个固定搭配：要看(取决于)：depend on：多久一次用how often表示。

　　2.remembering all my life

　　Be worth doing/值得做某事,还有说法是worth sth. 如：He is worth the praise.

　　3.could have attended the meeting in person/by himself对过去的假设could have done表示本来可以但是没有; 参加会议最好的说法是attend the meeting/ conference;亲自：in person/ by oneself。

　　4、George 从机场打电话给他的老板，接电话的却是他的助手。was his assistant who answered / picked up the phone

　　这句比较灵活，在句法上，既可以使用强调句结构，也可以采用turn out的惯用搭配(turned out that his assistant answered / picked up the phone);在接电话的表达上，可以用pick up / answer the phone.

　　强调句结构为it be sb. who do sth. ,而turn out变化则较多，可以用turn out to be sb. who do sth.或者turn out + that + 从句。

　　5.regretted as I felt。首先要判断出两 个分句之间是让步的逻辑关系，即虽然我感到遗憾，但我仍然无法按时完成任务。其次，本题涉及as引导的让步状语从句的倒装，即如果as引导的让步状语 从句中有副词much，必须将副词much提前进行倒装。
