Part VI Translation

87. The university authorities did not approve the regulation， nor did they make any explanation / nor did they give the reason for doing so （也没有解释为什么）。

解析：本题考察了两个知识点。① nor的倒装句用法，后半句表示“也不”的否定意义，注意助动词的时态与上半句保持一致；② 对某事做出解释的表达，考察了汉译英中动词转名词的技巧，explain → explanation，或者nor did they give the reason for doing so同样可以。

88. Jane is tired of dealing with customer complaints and wishes that she could be assigned （to） another job（能被分配做另一项工作）

解析：本题考察了wish从句的虚拟语气用法（can→could）和“分配某人做某事”的词组搭配，assign sb. to sth. 或者assign sb. sth.

89. John rescued the drowning child at the risk of his own life （冒着自己生命危险）。

解析：本题考察了“冒着…的危险/风险做某事”的词组搭配，可以用at the risk / expense of one’s own life（冒着某人的生命危险做某事）

90. George called his boss from the airport but it ① was his assistant who answered / picked up the phone；② turned out that his assistant answered / picked up the phone（接电话的却是他的助手）

解析：该句比较灵活，在句法上，既可以使用强调句结构，也可以采用turn out的惯用搭配；在“接电话”的表达上，可以用pick up / answer the phone。强调句结构为it be sb. who do sth. ，而turn out变化则较多，可以用turn out to be sb. who do sth.或者turn out + that + 从句。

91. Although he was interested in philosophy， his father persuaded him into / talked him into（他的父亲说服他）majoring in law.

解析：本题考察“说服某人做某事”的表达，persuade / talk sb. into doing sth.

整体评价：今年6月的翻译题难度适中，89和91题的词组搭配是拿分题，而87题的倒装结构和88题的虚拟语气用法也是广大四级考生的“老朋友”，不熟悉实在说不过去~
