参考答案:
1.going∧since-加入on
题解:
goon的意思是“继续”,符合句子表达的含义“争论一直在继续”。
2.certain-改为acertain
题解:
此处要表达的意思是“很多作家喜欢一种自由的翻译方法”,第一次出现这种方法应
该加上不定冠词。
3.rather-改为not
题解:
根据原句的句子结构,rather应改为not。
4.is-改为was
题解:
此句应该为过去时。
5.in-改为at
题解:
attheturnof19thcentury“十九世纪之初”,是固定搭配。
6.the-删去第二个the
题解:
这里并没有特指某种语言,所以不用定冠词。
7.view∧translation-加入that
题解:
在view和translation之间加上that,可将“translationwasimpossible”看
成view的同位语。
8.was-删去was
题解:
条件状语从句常可以省略主语和系动词。
9.culminated∧the-加入in
题解:
culminatein是“以......告终”的意思,符合上下文含义。
10.and-改为but
题解:
根据原句意思“现在背景变化了,但是基本问题依然存在”,两句话之间应该是转折
关系。
