参考答案
答案与解析:
1. To keep healthy
为了维护健康,我们每天至少可做三件事。英文里不能将两个或两个以上的简单句糅杂在一句话中。句子需填入部分在全句里充当的成分是目的状语。"维护健康"是未来要去做的事情,是努力的方向,应说成To keep healthy,也可以用In order to keep healthy来表示目的。
2.could be assigned (to) another job.
Jane对处理客户投诉的工作厌倦了,她想被分配做另一项工作。
考察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.也可用be arranged to another post.
3. we keep good hours and restrain smoking and drinking
"早睡早起"不能按照字面直译成sleep and get up early。需要运用意译法。早睡早起的含义就是要有一个合理、规则的作息时间,英文说成keep good hours。另外表示"戒除"的词有:restrain,refrain,stop等。refrain是一个不及物动词,后面不能直接加上宾语 smokingand drinking,必须用及物动词短语refrain from来表示,当然也可以选择restrain或stop或deny oneself to。
4.was his assistant who answered / picked up the phone
George 从机场打电话给他的老板,接电话的却是他的助手。这句比较灵活,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(turned out that his assistant answered / picked up the phone);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。
5. neglect that everyone wants a friendly and peaceful society
本题考点有:ignore与neglect的辨析,宾语从句的运用和形容词"温馨"的表达。ignore也有忽视的意思,但它是指故意忽略某人的存在,不予理睬。如:I tried to tell her but she ignored me.(我打算告诉她,可是她不理睬我。)She saw him coming but she ignored him.(她看见他走过来,但装作没看到他。)neglect强调"疏忽"、"忽略"某个事实,如:neglect their warnings(不顾他们的警告)。本句从含义上讲用neglect更贴切。原句需填补部分是一个从句,neglect可以加that再加从句。 warm有温暖、激烈、热烈、兴奋的意思,但表达"温馨"不合适;而friendly除了表示友好的、友谊的,也可以指气氛温馨。
