Part VI Translation (5 minutes)
【参考答案】
87. since we introduced color photographs on the front page
本句为现在完成时,再结合中文部分的内容可知,该部分应译成since引导的时间状语从句。为了强调此处的“采用”是从无到有的运用,应将其译成introduce,而不是单纯表示“运用”的use。
88. more complicate animals developed from the simple animals
本题的考点是“高等动物”和“低等动物”的译法,即complicated animals和simple animals。值得注意的是,某些中文表达在英语中很难找到相对应的单词,此时往往可以用词组将中文的含义表达出来。
89. I'd like to order one fried egg and bacon
外出吃饭时,点菜所用的动词可用order或have,此处为了避免与下句动词重复,用order更好。而在表示主观意愿的“想要”时,常用I'd like to来表示。
90. because of the sweet taste and a variety of flavors
本题的考点是“多种口味”的译法,可用a variety of,强调种类繁多。a lot of虽然也表示“很多的”,但指的只是数量上的多,意思不够贴切。
91. Scientists will come up with
本题的考点是“提出”的译法。此处“提出”的宾语是methods,故采用短语come up with表达此意。
