Question

16．他哥哥打算自己粉刷房间而不是付钱请人做．His brother is going to paint the room himself instead of paying someone to do it．

Answer 1

分析 His brother is going to paint the room himself instead of paying someone to do it

解答 答案：His brother is going to paint the room himself instead of paying someone to do it．
首先分析句子的时态和结构：句子表述的是将来的事情，所以用一般将来时，表示"打算做某事"是be going to do sth．短语"（他）自己粉刷房间"是paint the room himself，"而不是"是instead of （后面跟动词的ing形式）"付钱请人做"是pay someone to do it，故答案是：His brother is going to paint the room himself instead of paying someone to do it

点评 此题考查对整句话的翻译，做这类题时先分析所给汉语句子意思确定相关的词汇和句型，然后仔细推敲时态考虑人称和数的变化等容易出错的问题．
