41、回电能。D.使用发电机这个方法能将机器产生的能量还原成电。解析:A)接近正确答案。但 by means of 应译成“利用,借助于”。 B)最佳译文。此句中的关键词组 by means of 和 change into 翻译准确。 C)此句中将关键词组 change into 翻译错了。 D)译文与原文不符。2.Without reading the required books before classes, students will find it difficult to understand the class.(分数:4.00)A.如学生课前没有按要求看书,他们会觉得难以听懂授课内
42、容。B.如学生课前不阅读指定书目,他们会觉得难以听懂授课内容。 C.如学生课前不看书,他们会很难找到授课内容。D.如学生不和同学一起按要求看书,他们很难找到授课内容。解析:解析 翻译本句需把握好两个要点:一为“without”引导的伴随状语,该状语在此处表示前提、条件,可理解为“如果”,其中“required books”意为“指定书目”;第二个要点是“find it difficult to do sth.”这一结构,需要注意的是该结构中“it”为形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式,所以可理解为“觉得难以,发现难以”。从整体来看,此处可译为“觉得难以听懂授课内容”。结合上述分析,四个选项
43、中 B 项为最佳答案。选项 A 由于错误理解“required”一词,将其译为“按照要求”,因而不妥。选项 C 漏译“required”一词,并将“understand”译为“找到”,丢失了原文中“find”所表达的“觉得”之义。故不及选项 A。选项 D 集合了 A 选项和 C 选项的错误,另外还错将“before classes”理解为“在同学面前,和同学一起”,属四个选项中翻译得最糟糕的。3.The beauty of the West Lake in Hangzhou is beyond description.(分数:4.00)A.杭州西湖之美,笔难尽述。 B.杭州西湖的美丽是不能描述
44、的。C.杭州西湖之美,尽在描述之中。D.杭州西湖的美丽超出了可描述的范围。解析:beyond prep(表示范围、限度)超出4.It is common experience that a certain amount of regular exercise improves health and contributes to a feeling of well-being.(分数:2.00)A.共同经历一定量的练习可以增进健康,并使人感到富有。B.一定量的运动锻炼可以增进健康并使人快乐,这一点是人们共有的。C.人们共同的经历肯定练习会改进健康,并对财富有贡献。D.一定量的运动可以增进健康并使
45、人精神愉快,这一点是人们共有的经验。 解析:本题的翻译要点是 common experience(人们所共有的经验)。译文 D 忠于原文,译文流畅、通顺,符合中文表达习惯,为最佳选项。译文 A 中 exercise 译作“练习”是错误的,well-being 也不能译作“富有”。译文 B 中 experience 没有译出。译文 C 与原文不符。5.Dear Mark, New York is finally getting a real sales manager. Congratulations on your new promotions. Your marketing ability
