Exercise Thirty-Seven 1. People _______________after giving up cigarettes because they turn to snacks as a substitute. 2. The frightened child _______________. 3. If we want to ________________,we have to hurry with it. 4. When he succeeded in finishing his design,the technician _______________. 5. He is the sort of person ________________. 1. tend to put on weight 解析:本句意为:很多人在戒烟后往往会发胖,因为他们会吃零食取而代之。往往会发胖表示一种趋势、发展方向,英文里要用tend这个词。有关用法是:tend to do;have the tendency to do。发胖即put on weight或gain flesh.注意,overweight这个词往往带有贬义色彩,指重量超过正常、必要或被允许的限度的,要慎用。 2. grips his mothers arm 解析:在英语里,grip表示紧紧抓住某人,已经包含了紧紧地含义,因此不需要译成grip ones arm tightly,但是可以说catch ones arm tightly,考生一定要注意英汉表达差异。grip也可以引申为吸引住,如:The story gripped our attention. 3. complete the project a month ahead of time 解析:我们知道,if条件句通常表示假设情况,要用虚拟语气。但是,如果if条件句里的假设状况在现实中有可能会实现的话,提出的假设并不与现在、过去或将来事实想违背,那么,就不需要遵循虚拟语气原则,if条件句用一般时态即可。本题还考查了提前某段时间的英文表达时间+ahead of time。 |
