2017年6月英語六級翻譯考前每日一練(三十三)
Exercise Thirty-Four
1. The customer complained that no sooner ______________(他剛起動(dòng)這臺計(jì)算機(jī),它就不運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)了).
2. What upset me was ______________(不是他所說的話,而是他說話的方式).
3. This piece of writing is ______________(與其說是短篇小說,不如說更像是新聞報(bào)道).
4. The court ruling ______________(剝奪了他的政治權(quán)利).
5. Human behavior is mostly a product of learning _____________(然而,動(dòng)物的行為主要依靠本能).
1. had he started the computer than it stopped working
解析:本題考查對no sooner...than句型的掌握。no sooner...than和hardly(scarcely)...when都表示"剛一......就......",注意其中連詞的區(qū)別。該句型有兩個(gè)特點(diǎn):一是主句中一般使用過去完成時(shí),而從句中一般使用一般過去時(shí);二是no sooner或hardly(scarcely)位于句首時(shí),要求句子采用部分倒裝語序。本句中no sooner位于句首,故句子采用了倒裝語序。
2. not what he said but the way he said it/ not what he said but the manner in which he said it
解析:本題考查對常見結(jié)構(gòu)"not...but..."的掌握。Not...but...意為"不是......而是......",用來連接兩個(gè)并列成分,表示否定前者而肯定后者。"他所說的話"應(yīng)用名詞性從句what he said表示。"......的方式"用the way (in which)...或the manner in which...表示都可以,前者中的in which常省略。
3. more like a news report than a short story
解析:本題考查對"more...than..."用法的掌握。"more...than..."可以表示"與其......不如......",該結(jié)構(gòu)中可以使用形容詞,也可以使用名詞、代詞、動(dòng)詞、介詞短語等。如:He is more diligent than clever.(與其說他聰明不如說他勤奮。)本句中是表示"更像",于是用了"more like"。
4. deprived him of his political rights
解析:本題考查對固定結(jié)構(gòu)deprive sb. of sth.的掌握。Deprive sb. of sth.意為"剝奪某人某物"。"政治權(quán)利"常用political rights表達(dá)。court ruling意為"法庭的判決"。
5. while animal behavior depends mainly on instinct /whereas the behavior of an animal depends mainly on instinct
解析:本題考查對表示對比或相反情況的連接詞的掌握。While或whereas都可以作為連詞,表示前后的一種對比或相反的情況,意為"然而"。注意此處不要用however,因?yàn)閔owever是表示一種強(qiáng)烈的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,不強(qiáng)調(diào)前后情況的對比。
