答案與解析:
1. were plunged into a dire suffering
本題考查考生基本詞匯量和短語的掌握情況。水深火熱在英文中沒有一個對等詞,所以要采用意譯法。可以接受的譯法有:a dire suffering,an abyss of suffering,extreme misery。Be plunged into表示使......陷入,使......遭受,如:plunge a country into war;plunge sb. into deep sorrow。另外,前半句中careworn意為受折磨的,飽經憂患的。
2. theory be combined with practice
be combined with...是固定搭配,意為與......相結合。Be connected with是指將......連起來,在含義上有所差別。其次,句首用了We think it most important that句型,暗示從句要用虛擬語氣,should可以省略。
3. Rain or shine
本題考查固定用法 不論......,英語用...or...來表達。如:Winter or summer,that lady always wears a long black gown.類似的表達還有:better or worse,good or evil,sink or swim,men or women,old or young。
4. no other than the man
本題考查采用反譯法翻譯,以加強語氣,取得較好的修辭效果。No other than強調了那個人就是我們要找的。這句話也可以譯成This is just the man we are looking for,但強調的語氣就顯得要弱一些。此外,no other than要和other than區別開來。如:Theres nobody here other than me.
5. three to five times that of ordinary households
本題考查數的表達。考生要學會用倍數+the size of...,...倍數+that of ...的句型進行倍數的表達。Household是個集合詞,表示家庭,如:average household;multiperson household;peasant household。家務叫做household affairs。
