大学英语四级翻译轻松练：第二期

　　1._______________ and we realized it was already two oclock in the afternoon.

　　2.Finding it difficult to _______________，he decided to move to the north.

　　3.He asked the teacher to____________________。

　　4.___________________________ children do not have good conditions, but they can master mother tongue completely.

　　5.________________，Jack and his younger brother have little in common.

　　答案：

　　1. The clock struck

　　时钟报时用strike,而不用ring.电话铃响了一般用ring.

　　2. adapt to the climate there

　　adapt to 有与相适应的意思，还可以用be accustomed to 或be adjusted to来表达类似的意思。注意这些to

　　后面一定要跟名词或动名词。

　　3. explain the word in greater detail

　　explain the word in greater detail即详细解释某事的意思。

　　4. Compared with adults learning foreign languages

　　此句考查分词的正确使用，它的主语是children,与adults相比，与compare是动宾关系，所以要用表示被动关系的过去分词形式。

　　5. As far as the appearance is concerned

　　as far as something is concerned表示就而言，相似的短语有as something referred,表示就某事物的某方面作说明。
