2015英语六级考试翻译冲刺模拟训练(10)

　　1. He works _______________.

　　2. The beauty of the lake is _______________.

　　3. ________________，a person cant know much about the world.

　　4. _______________，they went to the library.

　　5. I found him ________________.

　　参考答案及解析:

　　1. in the last office but one

　　解析：but经常与表示最高级的形容词或first，next，last等同连用，如：Some people say this nation is the cleverest but one in the whole world.She was the last but one to come.

　　2. beyond description

　　解析：比起译文not easy to describe in words，cannot be described by words，答案的译文显然要精妙得多。beyond用作介词时可以表示exceeding，out the reach of，即：超出之上。如：This passage is beyond my comprehension.I wont buy your radio set beyond my offer.

　　3. Kept within houses

　　解析：过去分词短语作状语表示条件，相当于一个条件状语从句。Kept within houses要比If a person was kept within houses更简洁明了，且可以避免前后句person的重复。请看下例：Given more time, I can also do it.过去分词短语还可以作原因状语、时间状语、伴随状语等。考生应注意复习。如：

　　Influenced by his ideas, she joined the revolution too.

　　Heated，ice changes into water.

　　He went there with great hope，but returned greatly disappointed.

　　4. Having finished their homework

　　解析：我们知道，现在分词在句中可以表示原因、时间、条件、结果等。本题考查了现在分词短语作时间状语的用法。由后半句可知，完成作业发生在他们去图书馆之前，因此，现在分词短语需要用完成时态。如果分词动作与谓语动词动作同时发生，就用一般式，如：Seeing the picture，he couldnt help thinking of her.

　　5. beaten black and blue

　　解析：本题考点有二：一是如何表达习语青一块紫一块二是过去分词作宾语补足语的用法。过去分词作宾语补足语改为被动语态时，可以省略to be，尤其是在like，want，order，wish后，如：I wish him driven away. = I wish him to be driven away。换成被动语态后就是：He is wished driven away.
