Exercise Thirty-Three 1.Theyve fully prepared to _______________. 2. All things have passed; _______________. 3. ________________a murder case. 4. The acoustics in the Festival Hall _______________. 5. With the last hours of the afternoon ________________. 1. throw themselves into the revolution 解析：本句意为：他们做好了充分的准备投身革命。投身革命是使自己参与到革命当中，但如果用take part in the revolution，表达就略显平板。英文里有一个短语throw oneself into...中使用了反身代词表示投身于某项事业，大家要记住。 2. nothing remains of its former glory 解析：翻译本句要注意防止漏译错译。当everything，anything，something，nothing作主语时，相应的谓语动词通常采用单数形式。昔日的可以用former作定语修饰glory，in former days通常在句中作状语。另外，本句还采用了反译法，原中文否定在动词谓语部分，而译文动词用了不带否定标记词的remain，否定含义体现在主语nothing上。 3. The accused is suspected of being involved in 解析：the+adj.作主语指某个人或某抽象意义时，谓语动词要用单数。这些形容词还可以被其他词语修饰，如：the extremely poor，the idle rich，the young at heart。若被both...and...修饰，the可以省略，如：Both young and old volunteer to give a helping hand.本题第二个考点是如何准确表达涉嫌。涉嫌即被怀疑......，因此用be suspected of doing较为准确。参与虽然可以说take part in，join in，participate in，但这些都有主动且比较积极的含义;如果是参与到/被牵涉到某件不好的事情中，通常用be involved in，考生要注意词语的感情色彩。 |
