28、in the 9th century.四级翻译经典题型与解析（答案）答案1.【答案】By contrast, their class is made up of male students only.或By contrast, only male students constitute their class.【解析】本题的主要考点在于固定搭配。表达“相比”或“与相对”之意可用词组by contrast，而“组成”之意可使用前文提到的动词constitute也可使用词组be made up of。2.【答案】in hopes that we could arrive at the airpor

29、t on time或in hopes that we could reach the airport on time又或in hopes that we could make it to the airport on time【解析】本题的主要考点在于固定搭配。通过分析前半句可知，“希望”并非句子的谓语，因此不可直接使用动词hope，而应使用固定搭配in hopes that意为“怀着的希望”。“准时”之意考查的是比较基础的词组on time,此处应注意其与表达“即时”之意的in time相区别。而“赶到”之意可用arrive at或reach，也可用表达“成功地”之意的固定搭配make it

30、 to。3.【答案】The fact that these problems are continually showing up或The continual appearance of these problems【解析】本题的考点在于语法。通过分析句子结构可知，本句谓语为suggest，所以需要翻译的部分充当句子的主语，故可以考虑使用从句或使用名词性词组。需要注意的是使用从句时应根据语法需要补出汉语中没有体现出的部分the fact，使句子结构完整。4.【答案】he owes his success to his parents encouragement或He attributes hi

31、s success to his parents encouragement【解析】本题考点在于固定搭配。“把归功于”或“把归因于”可使用词组owe.to.或attribute.to.。本题另一个易错之处在于所有格的使用。以-s结尾的复数名词所有格只需加 。5.【答案】We must awaken people to the importance of environment protection【解析】本题主要的考点在于固定搭配。表达“唤醒对的注意或警惕”之意应使用动词词组awaken.to.。另一需要注意的地方时所有格的使用。本题中“环保的重要性”不可用 s表示，而应使用of结构。6.【答案】he would have acted differently或He would have acted in a different way【解析】本题主要考查语法，考点是虚拟语气。由句意提示可知，本句是if引导的虚拟句，表示对过去情况的假设。由于前半句出现了had加动词的过去分词，后半句应使用would加have done的结构。7.【答案】As long as you keep working hard或As long a
