Answer 1

分析 In terms of the increasingly serious environmental pollution，the government is appealing to citizens to deal with the used batteries properly．

解答 一，时态：根据句意，"正呼吁"可推测句子可能用到现在进行时态；
二，句式：分析原句结构，可推测可能用到的句式--前半句为原因状语，后半句为主句．
三，根据提示语，猜测可能用到的短语：根据提示语appeal及句意"呼吁市民处理电池"可以想到appeal相关的短语：appeal to sb to do sth（呼吁某人做某事）；
四，因此，原因状语表示"鉴于…"可用in terms of…，故前半句为 In terms of the increasingly serious environmental pollution；
后半句为：the government is appealing to citizens to deal with the used batteries properly．
故全句为：In terms of the increasingly serious environmental pollution，the government is appealing to citizens to deal with the used batteries properly．

点评 本翻译题目主要考查鉴于短语In terms of用法及动词appeal的固定用法appeal to sb．to do sth．表示呼吁某人去做某事．
