题目内容
【题目】Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, which made me staying in a hospital for at least two weeks. I called my parents, but I did not tell them what happened. I knew that they will be worried about me because I was so far away, and my mother would not sleep if she knew the accident. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was right to do so.
【答案】第一句:before→ago; 去掉for
第二句:Unfortunate→Unfortunately; staying→stay
第三句:happened→had happened
第四句:will→would; and后加that
第五句:interested→interesting
第六句:truth前加the
第七句:think→thought
【解析】试题分析:作者两年前去Brazil,发生车祸,住院,给父母打电话,但并没有告诉父母实情,因为害怕父母担忧。作者认为没有告诉父母实情是对的。
1. 汉语的“两年前”译成英语可能是 two years ago,也可能是 two years before。ago用于一般过去时态句子中,而before通常用于完成时态句子中,故把before→ago。
2. 英语“租车”的说法是 rent a car,其中,rent 是及物动词,直接后接名词作宾语。中国学生要么不知道“租车”用英语怎么说,如果知道用 rent 这个动词, 一般不会说出 rent for a car。所以此处把for去掉。
3.此处是副词修饰整个句子,故把Unfortunate→Unfortunately。
4.固定结构:make sb. do sth.此处是不带to的动词不定式做宾语补足语,故把staying→stay。
5. 句意:我没有告诉他们已经发生了什么。此处指过去某个动作以前更早发生的动作,故把happened→had happened。
6.此处I knew是一般过去时态,所以后面的宾语从句也要用与过去相关的时态,故把will→would 。
7. 在英语中,并列的两个或两个以上由that引导的宾语从句,第一个that可以省略,从第二个开始都不能省略,故在第四句and后面加that。
8.句意:我告诉他们有趣的故事。story故事,指物,故把interested→interesting。
9. tell the truth 这题考“冠词”。冠词对中国学生来说确实是个难点。冠词有基本用法和惯用法,本题考的是惯用法。
10.根据上文可知,故事讲的是过去的事情,句子用一般过去时态,故把think→thought。
