Answer 1

【答案】

【1】In fact, she was very poor.

【2】当她八岁时，她不得不离开学校来帮助她的家庭。

【3】她认为它不能使衣服足够干净。

【4】At the age of 86, a lawyer helped her make a will.

【5】她是一位腼腆而普通的妇女，但她却很出名。

【解析】本文讲述了一位名叫奥西奥拉麦卡蒂的普通妇女，自己虽然不富裕，但是她把所有的钱捐给了教堂，亲戚和大学的故事。

【1】in fact“事实上”，be very poor非常穷，根据But everyone in her town knew that McCarty was not rich.可知此处用一般过去时，故为In fact, she was very poor.

【2】when she was eight years old当她八岁时，leave school离开学校，to help her family“为了帮助她的家庭”，此处表示目的状语，故此处的意思为：当她八岁时，她不得不离开学校来帮助她的家庭。

【3】She did not think it got the clothes clean enough!此处是否定前移，think后面的宾语从句的否定形式移到了主句think处，get the clothes clean使衣服干净，clean enough足够干净，故为：她认为它不能使衣服足够干净。

【4】when she was 86=at the age of 86“在86岁时”，把复合句变为简单句，可以把时间状语从句变为介词短语，故为：At the age of 86, a lawyer helped her make a will.

【5】who became famous“出名的”是定语从句修饰woman，a shy and ordinary woman“一位缅甸而普通的妇女”，故此处的意思为：她是一位腼腆而普通的妇女，但她却很出名。
