days every citizen _____________(視為理所當然)that their children should have the equal
chance of being educated.
le without a strong will ___________(夢想不能實現時會感到失落).
is high time that ___________(指控總統不履行承諾).
we use the same powder for making cookies ________(正如農村做粽子用的一樣).
5.________(她是否知道計劃的細節)did not have any effect on us.
答案解析:
s it for granted
take it for granted是固定搭配，“理所當然地認為”。整句的真正賓語是their children…educated，賓語較長時可以考慮用it作形式賓語，把真正的賓語置於句末。
句中的主語為every citizen，句首的nowadays指的是現在的時間，故take用一般現在時的第三人稱單數形式。
feel frustrated/lost when dreams never come true//can feel frustrated/lost because their dreass never come true
can可以用來表示對未知情況的一種推測。“夢想不能實現時”用由when引導的時間狀語從句來表達。“夢想不能實現”也可以理解為“感到失落”的原因，故也可以翻譯為原因狀語從句。“夢想實現”用dreams come true；“感到失落”的表達為feel lost/frustrated。
president was accused of never fulfilling his promise//the president (should) be accused of never fulfilling his promise
在it is(high/about time)that句型當中，謂語動詞要用虛擬語氣表示，謂語動詞的時態用一般過去時或用（should）+動詞原形。表示“（早）該做…的時候了”。“指控”的英文有accuse 和charge 兩種表達。兩者雖然意思相近，但有所區別。此處特別需要提示的是charged with中的with後常接某種具體的罪名，故在本題中選擇accuse…of…結構。
考查固定搭配:“履行承諾”譯為fulfill one's promise。從句當中“總統”是“指控”的動作承受者，需用被動結構。
is used for making Zongzi in rural areas
此處是as引導的定語從句，same…as…是固定搭配，表示“同…一樣…”。“用於”的表達為be used for。“在農村”的表達是in rural areas或in the countryside。
her she knew the details of the plan
whether和if都表示“是否”，whether引導的主語從句可以放於句首也可放於句末；而if引導的主語從句一般不能放在句首。“細節”的表達是detail,由於一個計劃有不止一個細節，故detail用複數形式。
四級閱讀理解練習(379)
In 58 million homes, the VCR has become nearly as much as the family car. But despite the VCR's advantages, video buffs complain about its limits. To duplicate prerecorded movies, for instance, requires two VCRs awkwardly cabled together. No wonder, then, that fans at Chicago's Consumer Electronics Show last week were excited by a new machine that eliminates the drawback. Moreover, its appearance was a triumph over well?wired opposition in Tokyo and Hollywood.?
The center of the excitement was the first dual?deck videotape recorder available to US consumers, the VCR?2, made by the tiny Arizona?based Go?Video company.?The VCR?2 enables its users to make high?quality duplicates of prerecorded tapes easily. It also lets viewers watch a tape while simultaneously recording off the air. Go?Video hopes to have a limited supply of the VCR?2 in stores by Christmastime, priced at just under $1,000.?
But the machine's move from freeze?frame to faster?forward has not been easy.
For starters, Go?Video could find no Japanese companies, which control manufacture of crucial VCR parts, willing to provide needed components. For another thin, US movie studios opposed the machine. So the company sued 15 Japanese and Korean makers, plus the Hollywood studios, claiming restrain of trade. Several manufactures have now settled with Go?Video, and Korea's Smsung, is tooling up to produce the VCR?2. ?Meanwhile, Hollywood has modified its opposition because Go?Video agreed to install circuitry that will prevent the VCR?2 from copying movies protected by anti?theft coding. Still movie makers may see double for a while. Many of the films on store shelves, including hot new rentals like Coming to America and Crocodile Dundee Ⅱ, do not contain the coding.?
has many advantages, but it also has its limits which lie in ____.?
A) it's not easy to duplicate prerecorded movies?
B) it can not duplicate prerecorded movies?
C) it can not be operated easily?
D) it takes too long to duplicate prerecorded movies?
rding to the passage, the suitable word which can replace "drawback"is ____.?
A) breakthrough B) advantage?
C) barrier D) function?
's the advantages of VCR?2??
A) It can make high?quality duplicates of prerecorded tapes easily.?
B) It can let viewers watch a tape while simultaneously recording off the air.
C) It can duplicate prerecorded movies clearly.?
D) Both A and B.?
did Go?Video company sue Japanese makers??
A) Because Japanese makers are tooling up to produce the VCR?2.?
B) Because no Japanese companies are willing to sell needed components.?
C) Because Japanese makers like to cooperate with Korean counterparts.?
D) Because Japanese makers compete with them.?
ywood began to cooperate with Go Video Company, because ____.?
A) US consumers will have to pay rentals for duplicating movies?
B) VCR?2 will be installed circuitry to prevent it from copying movies protected by anti?theft coding?
C) with the help of VCR?2, the movies are more popular?
D) Go?video company can copy movies without the permission of Hollywood studios.?

四級翻譯（9.17）
1.____________________(無論別人怎麼說)，he held on to his beliefs.
had better not disturb Mary as she ___________________(正專心於解一道難題).
last survey shows that Chinese people tend to _________(消耗兩倍多的鹽)they actually need.
the end of the opening ceremony,________________(大家期待你作簡要的介紹).
Committee made adequate preparations for the conference ____________(以便大會能順利召開).
答案解析:
matter what was said//Whatever was said
讓步狀語從句:no matter what/when/where/who/which/how結構可以引導讓步狀語結構，意思是“無論什麼，無論何時，無論何處，無論誰，無論哪一個，無論如何”，分別等同於whatever/whenever/wherever/whoever/whichever/howver,句中“無論別人怎麼說”，意即“無論別人說什麼”，用no matter what或whatever引導。
從句中what/whatever作主語，與“說”直接屬於被動關係，所以用被動語態。
absored/involved in working on a puzzle
“專心於”的表達是be absorbed in或be involved in,後面需接名詞性成分。work on的使用。Work on意為“從事，忙於”，根據語法需要變為working on。
ume twice more salt than
考查比較級:英語當中涉及到倍數的表達時，一般用“數詞+名詞+than”的結構表示。涉及到倍數的表達時，用once(一倍)，twice(兩倍)，three times(三倍)，以此類推。本題中所提示的“兩倍多”，故不能少more。“消耗”的英文表達為consume。
are expected to give/make a brief introduction
考查慣用句型:中文句子主語，謂語，賓語分別是:我們，期望，你。但在譯文中，可以發現句子是以you開頭，也就是說“你被期待作簡要發言”。在很多情況下，當漢語句子以“我們”，“人們”，“大家”等泛指性代詞作主語時，在翻譯成英文常常可以忽略不譯，通常處理成被動結構的you are expected/asked/hoped/desired/suggested to do,較接近英語的表達習慣。
考查固定表達:“作…介紹”的表達為give/make an introduction。
that it would go on smoothly/successfully
結果狀語從句:待譯部分為主句的結果，用so that引導結果狀語從句。待譯部分所說動作還沒有發生，主句用一般過去式，從句應用過去將來時結構“would+動詞原形”。“召開”即“進行”，可用go on表達；“順利地”意為“成功地，平穩地”，用smoothly或successfully均可。

四級翻譯（9.16）
heavy rain outside __________(使我不能專心完成任務).
order to control the spreading of AIDS,we must __________(不惜一切代價加以預防).
3.___________(只要你繼續努力工作),you will surely realize your dream sooner or later.
se contact our customer services department if you _____________(對我們的產品有任何疑問).
5._______________(必須提醒人們注意防範)as the thunderstorm is coming.
答案解析:
racts myself from fulfilling my assignment
“使不能專心”意即“使分心”，用distract sth./doing結構。“完成任務”可用finish assignment,也可用fulfill assignment表示，後者為四級常考片語。因為跟在介詞from後面，所以把動詞變為動名詞fulfilling或finishing。“任務”還可以表達為task。
ent this at all costs
“預防”的表達:prevent或guard against,用在must之後，不必變換形式。“不惜一切代價”的表達是at all costs或at all expenses。
long as you keep on working hard
條件狀語從句:as long as引導的條件狀語從句通常用一般時。keep on意為“繼續”，強調“堅持下去”的意思；“努力工作”可用work hard來表達，根據語法需要變為working hard。
any doubts/questions about our products
if引導的條件狀語從句:從句描述一般情況，用一般現在時。“對…有疑問”的表達:have doubts/questions about。
5. People have to be reminded of the prevention
表示“必須”的情態動詞，一般用have to,表示主觀不願意被提醒；也可用must,表示願意被提醒。people作為全句的主語，與“提醒”之間屬被動關係，故用被動語態。“提醒”的固定表達為remind sth.。
“防範”即“預防”，用prevent的名詞形式prevention。

四級翻譯練習(457)
this way, I believe that all the people may be able to _______________ （像我一樣享受乘坐公車的樂趣）.
rding to the scientific research , _____________ (聽音樂能使我們放鬆) this really true?
rding to a recent survey, four million people ______________ （死於與吸菸有關的疾病）each year.
often______________(試圖逃脫罰款) whenever he breaks traffic regulations.
I __________________(發現他騙我)I stopped buying thins there and started dealing with another shop.
答案與解析：
1. enjoy the bus ride like me
"享受......的樂趣"直接用enjoy翻譯即可。"乘坐公交車"在這裡相當於一個名詞短語，因此應翻譯成bus ride而不是take the bus。如果將句子翻譯成enjoy taking the bus，意思就與enjoy the bus ride稍有區別。前者強調動態，表示某個動作的進行，後者強調靜態，表示某一經常性習慣性做法。
2. listening to music enables us to feel relaxed
"聽音樂"在句中作主語，應該使用動名詞短語作句子的主語。“能使我們放鬆”很多同學會採用 can make us feel relaxed的結構。其實，enable就有“能夠使某人……”的含義，注意enable sb. to do sth.的表達。
3. die of diseases linked to smoking
本句意為"由最近調查顯示，每年有400萬人死於與吸菸有關的疾病"。"死於......"既可以用短語die of也可以用die from，但考生應注意兩者用法上的區別。"與......相關"可以選用related to，associated with，linked to。
4. attempts to escape being fined
escape後面要接動名詞形式。常與介詞from搭配，如He has escaped from the fire.
5. caught /found him cheating me
find/catch+賓語+賓補，如I found him standing by the river.
