Question

【题目】 The other day Roy Price went "home" to his sister's house. It's her home now, but it's also the house he was born in. Pat, his sister kissed him and said, "You haven't changed much, Roy. ___自从上次见面后，我们有很多年没见了。Let me see now. When did we meet last?"

"Twenty-five years ago," he answered. "I was here for a week. Do you remember?" He added.___"You haven't changed much, either." It was polite for Roy to say so, but it wasn't true. Pat seemed almost an old lady.

___The next morning, Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs on that roads and beside the roads, there was a new car park, a new post office and a new bus stop. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop anywhere-you just put up your hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone! The school was gone. A lot of farm machinery stood in the playground!

___But Roy's biggest surprise was the people. He didn't recognize anybody at all, perhaps because everyone seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. "Where are all the children and young people?" he asked the postmaster.

The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. "Children?" he said, "They are in school, of course. There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus-to Horham."

At lunch Pat said, "The village looks nice, doesn't it?"

"It's all different, Pat. It used to be an exciting place. ___但是现在村子里满是老年人。I don't understand..."

"There are few newcomers, but the ones we knew are still here. You're also not young, Roy, are you?"

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】We haven't seen each other for many years since we met last time.

【2】你也没有太大变化。

【3】第二天早上，罗伊独自一人穿过村庄。

【4】但是最让罗伊吃惊的是这里的人。

【5】But now the village is full of old people.

【解析】

本文主要讲的是家乡以及自己的变化。

【1】汉译英。自从：since；上次：last time；见面：meet；我们：We；很多年：for many years；彼此相见：see each other。此题是由since引导的时间状语从句，从句用一般过去时。主句用现在完成时，其结构是：have/has+动词的过去分词。此题又是否定句。故答案为：We haven't seen each other for many years since we met last time.

【2】英译汉。You：你；haven't changed much：没有太大变化；either：也。故答案为：你也没有太大变化。

【3】英译汉。the next morning：第二天早上；Roy：罗伊；walked through the village：穿过村庄； alone：独自一人。故答案为：第二天早上，罗伊独自一人穿过村庄。

【4】英译汉。but：但是；Roy's biggest surprise：最让罗伊吃惊的；was：是；the people：这里的人。故答案为：但是最让罗伊吃惊的是这里的人。

【5】汉译英。但是：but；现在：now；村子里：the village；满是老年人：be full of old people。此题的主语是the village，因此be用is。故答案为：But now the village is full of old people.
