2008年12月20日四级翻译点评 上海新东方学校国内考试部 贾从永

　　87. Medical researchers are painfully aware that there are many problems ______________ (他们至今还没有答案)

　　点评：本題要翻译成英语的定语从句，修饰前面的problems, 时态最好用现在完成时，故可翻译成：(which / that ) they have not come up with / found a solution to.

　　88. ------ (大多数父母所关心的)is providing the best education possible for their children.

　　点评：本句的汉语部分要翻译成英语中的主语从句，宜用what引导，可翻译成What concerns most parents 或者What most parents are concerned about。

　　89. You'b better take a sweater with you ________(以防天气冷).

　　点评：本题重点考察"以防"，可以翻译成in case引起的从句，从句中的谓语动词多用should+动词原形，但可以不用虚拟语气，而用动词的陈述语气。所以，本题可翻译成in case it turns / becomes cold.或者in case it should turn / become cold.

　　90. Through the project, many people have received training and _______(决定自己创业).

　　点评：本题重点考察"创业"，可翻译成to launch / set up / establish / begin their own enterprise. 或者to launch / set up / establish / begin an enterprise of their own.

　　91. The anti-virus agent was not known _________ (直到一名医生偶然发现了它)

　　点评：本题显然是考察not --- until 句型，此处的"发现"可以翻译为discover，若翻译成find则不甚合适，因为这里指的是科学上的发现。所以，本句我们可以翻译成until a doctor discovered it accidentally / by chance.
