How long did it take them to put out the fire？．

Answer 1

分析 How long did it take them to put out the fire？

解答 答案：How long did it take them to put out the fire？
结合汉语意思可知是已经发生的事情，故用一般过去时表达；此句为特殊疑问句，"花了多长时间"应用疑问词组how long提问；后跟疑问语序；此句可用固定句型It takes sb some time to do sth来表达花费某人多长时间做某事；"扑灭"用动词短语put out；其后跟宾语"这场大火"the fire；因为是疑问句，take为实意动词，所以应该借助于助动词did加形式主语it再加动词原形take，"他们"的宾格为them，后跟动词不定式to put out the fire．故此句可完整表达为：How long did it take them to put out the fire？

点评 此题考查一整句话的翻译．做题时要根据汉语确定出句子的大的架构，联系固定句型和时态，短语等做出正确的合乎句意和语法的句子．
