大学英语四级考试汉译英部分专项练习答案解析
虚拟语气
2. 答案: it were spring in my hometown all the year around
解析:wish后的that从句表示没有实现或不可能实现的愿望,that常常省略。当表示对现在的愿望时,从句谓语动词用were或实义动词的过去式。
3. 答案:the accident would not have happened
解析:if 条件句中的过去完成时态和句意表明,此处使用了虚拟语气,表示对过去事实的假设。所以主句谓语动词应该用would have done的形式。
4. 答案: otherwise he would have sent his application.
解析:前半句中的couldn’t have known 是对过去情况的否定推测, 后面的“否则”是对过去的一种假设,故后面主句的谓语动词应用would have done的形式。
5. 答案:we could not have rent a house at such a low price.
解析:but for意为:“要是没有……”,常用来引出虚拟条件,相当于if虚拟条件句。从句意可知,“租到房子”是过去的事实,故主句的谓语动词应用could/would have done的形式, 此处用它的否定形式。
5. 答案:more mobile shops (should) be set up in the residential area.
解析:在“It is /was +形容词+that从句” 结构中,当形容词表示重要性、必要性或某种意愿时,后接从
句时谓语动词往往要用should do 的形式,被动语态要用should be done且should 常省略。常见的这类形容词有:advisable, appropriate, desirable, essential, necessary, important, imperative, impossible, incredible, obligatory, proper, vital, urgent等。
倒装
1. 答案:had he got on the bus than he found he forget to take the wallet with him.
解析:no sooner…than和 hardly/scarcely…when都表示“刚一……就……”
no sooner 或 hardly/scarcely位于句首时,紧跟其后的句子应采用部分倒装。
注意在该句型中,主句中一般使用过去完成时,从句中一般用一般过去时。此外,表示“忘记去做某事”时forget后面应该接不定式。
5
2. 答案: Not until he was showed all evidence
解析:not …until意为“直到……时,才……”为了起到强调作用,经常将not until提前,此时句子就要用部分倒装。
3. 答案:I would size the opportunity without hesitation
解析:分析句子结构可知,该句是省略了if的条件虚拟句的倒装结构,从句是对现在情况的假设,故汉语部分的谓语动词应用would/could +do。
4. 答案:did they present a musical performance
解析:当表示否定的词语谓语句首时,该句应采用部分倒装。类似的表示否定的词语有:not, never, seldom, hardly, scarcely, rarely, barely, little等。
5. 答案:did he have his car inspected carefully.
解析: “only+状语”提前引起部分倒装。表示“让别人完成某事” 一般用 have sth .done的结构。
时态和语态
1. 答案:had collected more than a thousand foreign stamps.
解析:the end of that year是过去时间, 再加上by可知是过去某一时间以前完成的,所以应用过去完成
时。
2. 答案:will have been pulled down
解析:根据时间状语by the time+表示将来时间的句子可知,此处表示“到将来某个时间为止的情况”,
故应用将来完成时。此处需要用被动语态。
1. 答案:you get into a bath full of water
解析:在引导的条件状语从句中, 如果主句用将来时,从句要用一般现在时。
4. 答案:the earth is experiencing significant global warming
解析:所给汉语部分中的“正在”此处应用进行时态,且主句中用的是一般现在时,故所给汉语部分应用现在进行时。
5. 答案:it had been raining for two days
解析:and后的分句中的was提示所给汉语部分的时态应为过去时。“下雨”这一动作从过去更早时间
持续到现在某一时刻,故应用过去完成进行时。
从句
1. 答案:whenever she breaks the traffic regulations
解析:所给汉语部分的“每当……. 时候”,也含有“不论何时”之意,所以此处的连词最好用whenever 6
2. 答案:What seems confusing at first
解析:分析句子结构可知,所给汉语部分在句中作主语;what 引导的主语从句常用来表示“…….事情”。
3. 答案:where he stayed for as long as half a year.
解析:先行词island为地点名词, 故其定语从句应用关系副词where来引导。表示“长达…… 之久”,
可用“as long as +时间” 的结构。
4. 答案:no matter how much it costs
解析:no matter与疑问词连用可以引导让步状语从句。本句表示“花费多少钱”,故应用no matter how
much。
5. 答案:as long as I don’t have to get up early
解析:so/as long as表示“只要”,在句中起连词作用,引导条件状语从句。另外,根据前后句意,这
里的“无须”应翻译为don’t have to。
. 非谓语动词
1. 答案:escape being scolded by his mother
解析:动词escape表示“逃避”,后面要求接动名词做宾语;而本句中主语“Mark”与“惩罚”之间
是被动关系,故应用动名词的被动语态。
2. 答案:fulfill its promise to reduce the unemployment rate
解析:本句中“降低失业率的”应该做“承诺”的定语,可以用不定式短语做后置定语来表达。表示
“实现(承诺)”也可以用keep或meet,但此处表示政府行为,故最好用fulfill.
3. 答案:In order to finance my education
解析:不定式短语常位于句首做目的状语。in order to 或 so as to 可以起到突出强调该目的的作用,但
so as to一般不用在句首。
4.答案:having peeked at his neighbors’ test paper
解析:deny后面要求接动名词做宾语。此处动名词所表示的行为“偷看”明显发生在denied行为之前,
故应该用动名词的完成式来表达。
5.答案:your delaying making the decision
解析:首先,动词mind后面要求接动名词做宾语;其次,动词delay后面同样要求接动名词做宾语。类
似的词还有:abandon, admit, advocate, appreciate, avoid, bear, consider, delay, deny, deserve,
dislike, enjoy, escape, fancy, forgive, imagine, miss, prevent, practice, recommend, resist, suggest等
情态动词
7
5. 答案:you needn’t have put on your best suit
解析:needn’t have done表示完成了本不需要完成的动作,表达说话人的责怪、建议或遗憾之意。
6. 答案:Mary couldn’t have found her car
解析:本句汉语部分表示有把握的否定推测,故情态动词应用can 或 could的否定形式,而所给英语部分的时态为一般过去时,由此可知是对过去情况的一种否定推测,故用couldn’t have done 形式来表达。
7. 答案:she can’t be at home
解析:本题主要考查情态动词的推测用法。本句是对现在发生情况的否定推测,因此要用can’t do 的句式结构来表达。
8. 答案:This film should have a fantastic box office
解析:情态动词should表示推测时, 暗含很大的可能性。“票房收入”应译为box office。
5. 答案:you must have dreamed of something terrible
解析:所给汉语部分的“一定”提示本句是在进行肯定推测,情态动词应为must。所给英语部分的时
间状语提示本句是在对过去发生的事实作肯定推测,因此谓语动词应用 “must have +done”的结构。
主谓一致
4. 答案:vote for my proposal
解析:本题主要考查主谓一致。主语中含有某些连词(except, as well as, besides, in addition to, along with, together with, including, no less than, rather than,except 等)时,谓语动词的数同这些词前面的名词保持一致。本题中,主语All the members为复数,所以谓语也应该用复数形式。
5. 答案:either you or he is not telling the truth
解析:not only…but also, neither…nor…, either…or… whether…or…等短语连接并列主语时,谓语动词与其相近的名词的数保持一致。
3. 答案:has realized the importance of learning a foreign language
解析:“many a /more than one+名词单数”结构在意义上是复数,但谓语动词用单数形式。
4.答案:have been discussing the problem
解析:本题主要考查时态和主谓一致。由时间状语和所给汉语中的“一直在”可推知,该句应该采用现在完成进行时,根据句意和句中的themselves,句子的主语the committee在此处表示“委员会成员”,故谓语应用复数形式。其它类似的词family, class, staff, committee, audience, party, board, team, government, council 等集合名词作主语时,如果指集合体,谓语用单数;如果指具体组成部分,谓语用复数。
8
并列结构
1. 答案:either to telephone or to write the hotel for reservations.
解析:本题考查并列结构。 “either…or…”常用于连接并列结构,表示“或者…… 或者……”本句中
连接的是并列的不定式结构。
2.答案: (to ) increase the production
解析:本题主要考查并列结构。由句意和句中的and可知,译文应该与to enrich the soil并列,故也应该是不定式短语,这里的不定式符号to可省略。
3.答案:nor cares what happened to her
解析:本题主要考查neither..nor连接的并列结构。“neither..nor”意为“既不……, 也不”用于连接并列结构,故本句中后面的动词应该与形式一致。表示“某人发生了某事”,通常用短语happen to sb.根据句意可知,从句应用一般过去时。
4.答案:but history that makes heroes
解析:本题主要考查并列结构。not…but常用于连接并列结构,意为“不是…… 而是”。分析句子结构可知,此处是强调句型,要求翻译的应该是but后的分句,结构应该与 not后的分句一致。
5.答案:but(also) tore up his manuscripts.
解析:本题主要考查not only…but(also)结构。not only…but(also)用于连接并列结构,意为“不但 ……. 而且”, not only所在的分句用的是一般过去时,故 but(also)所在的分句也用该用一般过去时。
祈使句
1. 答案:contact us at the following address
解析:空格前的please提示该句应为祈使句,应该以动词原形开头。“与某人联系”一般用动词contact,
“以下地址”通常表达为the following address,介词at与其一起构成介宾短语。
2. 答案:remember to water it everyday
解析:本题主要考查祈使句。 根据此处汉语意思可知, 此处表示建议,因此最好使用祈使句表达,要
以动词原形开头。表示“记得做某事”, remember后面要接不定式。
6. 答案:Follow your doctor’s advice
解析:本句是祈使句的肯定形式,表达了说话者的建议或劝告。在“祈使句+and/ or+陈述句”的句型中,陈述句的谓语动词常用一般将来时。
7. 答案:turn down the music
解析:句中的please提示,译文部分应翻译为祈使句,表示一种请求。
8. 答案:Let’s find a place to shelter from the rain
9
解析:所给汉语部分明显表达的是一种建议,所以可以用祈使句来表达。“躲雨”常可用shelter from the rain。
强调句型
1. 答案:physical exercise does contribute directly to a person’s health
解析:本题考查强调句型及短语contribute to。表示“有助于…….”可以用be good to, help to, contribute to,由所给汉语中的“的确”可知,该句应该强调谓语动词,故应在动词前加上 does。
2. 答案:It’s your ability to do the job that matters most
解析:本题考查强调句型。所给汉语部分中的“才是”提示,该部分是要强调“工作能力重要”,所以应用强调句型来表达,其基本结构是:It is/was +强调部分+that/who+其他部分。由所给英语部分中的一般现在时可知,强调句型中的系动词应是is。
3. 答案:It was Jefferson who wrote
解析:由所给汉语部分中的“正是”可知,此处应该用强调句型来表达。 本句强调的是句子的主语。
4. 答案:it is the regular use of physical punishment
解析:由所给汉语部分中的“正是”和汉语部分之后的that提示此处应使用强调句型来表达,此处强
调的是主语“经常性的体罚”。
对比和比较结构
1. 答案:not as /so widespread as was initially worried about
解析:本题主要考查同级比较。所给汉语部分中的“像”提示, 此处应该使用比较结构as…as…来表达。需要注意的是第二个as后面的部分,其后可接名词或代词,也可接句子。接句子时,如果主从句的主语一致,从句的主语常可省略。此处根据句意要求,as后应接从句,从句的主语与主句的主语一致,它与“担心”之间是被动语态,而从句是表示“原来的情况”,故应该用一般过去时。同时, 否定时,常用so代替第一个as
2. 答案:the more I find this plan difficult to put into practice
解析:本题主要考查比较句式和短语put into practice。比较结构the more…the more表示“越…..,就越…….”,可在more的位置上放相应的形容词或副词的比较级。表示“实施计划”常用短语put into practice。

1.答案:will be twice that of the old one
解析:本题主要考查倍数的表达。twice/three times 等倍数词+比较对象
that指代area, one指代前面已经出现的building
2.答案:increased by 50% compared with that of last year
解析:本题主要考查倍数的表达。表示“增加了多少”应该用increase by, 注意不要与increase to(增加到多少)相混淆。
3.答案:his weight is three times that of mine/ he is three times as heavy as me .
解析:本题考查倍数表达。表示倍数的一些句式有:twice/three times 等倍数词+as+形容词或副词原级+as,翻译时注意比较对象的一致性,前面是his weight,后面就应该用that of mine, that 代替weight。
4. 答案:reacts three times as fast as that one/ reacts twice faster than that one

倍”。
5. 答案:is three times lager than that of men
解析:本题主要考查倍数表达。“A+倍数+比较级 +than +B”是适合于本剧的倍数表达。
动名词的固定结构

不住”,翻译时注意后面一定要用动名词。此处是一般过去时,故只能用could。
2. 答案:difficulty(in)keeping up with his classmates
解析:本题主要考查动名词的固定结构have difficulty(in)doing sth。 表示做某事有困难,常用have difficulty(in)doing sth。类似的结构还有have trouble/fun/a hard time/a good time(in) doing。表示“跟上”常用keep up with或catch up with。

关系。
