15、e, command, order, request, require 等；一些形容词后面的主语从句中往往采用“（should） 动词原形 ” ， 如：it is necessary that， it is essential that， it is important that, it is desirable that 等；省略了if 的虚拟倒装句；在would rather, wish ，as if，it is time that 等句型中使用适当的虚拟形式表达主观愿望。例如： it is necessary that _. （采取有效措施来防止环境污染）。大学英语四级考试翻译3 答案：

16、 effective actions （should）be taken to prevent environmental pollution 2）时态转换英语中一共有16 个时态，最常用的5 个时态是一般现在时、现在进行时、一般过去时、一般将来时和现在完成时。在以往的四级考试中考查最多的是将来完成时、现在完成时、过去完成时和完成进行时。因此在翻译时，考生首先要抓住的就是已知信息中的时间状语，是现在时间、将来时间还是过去时间、是短暂时间还是延续性时间。例如： _（自从她上了高中） ，she has worked very hard. 答案：since the time she went to s

17、enior high school 3）倒装结构英语中的倒装结构分为全部倒装和部分倒装。哪些否定词或者短语前置能引起倒装句，部分倒装和全部倒装有何区别，as和 so 在倒装结构中的用法及意义等等，都是考生应当重视的地方。例如：_ （ 鲇鱼 walking fish 不仅可以离开水存活）, but they can also travel short distances over land答案： not only can walking fish live out of water（部分倒装）例如：the peace talk turned out to be a failure. then _

18、（两国之间开始了一场恶战）答案： began a bitter war between the two countries （全部倒装）4）非谓语结构和独立主格结构一般说来， 在句子中没有连接词的情况下，逗号是不能连接两个句子的，其中一个分句要么是非谓语形式，要么是独立主格结构。这两种结构都作状语，不同的是独立主格结构有自己的逻辑主语，而非谓语结构则需要考生判断逻辑主语和非谓语动词之间的关系，确定使用主动语态或被动语态。例如： _ （她一动不动地躺在床上），she fixed her eyes on the last leaf hanging against the blank wall 答案

19、： lying in bed without any movement 5)主谓一致这类考题灵活性大，需要根据实际情况判定谓语动词的单复数形式。一部分具有生命意义的集合名词作主语时谓语动词多采用复数形式，如people，poultry，cattle, militia 等；用 and 连接的成分表单一概念时谓语动词用单数， 如 bread and butter，knife and fork 等。此外还有就近原则，即主语中含有某些连词（如 as well as，besides，in addition to 等）时，谓语动词的数同第一个主语保持一致。例如： it seems the cattle o

20、n the sides of the dikes _（是那里唯一有生命的物体）答案： we are the only living creatures there 6）强调句型强调句的基本结构是“it is/was. that/who.”，考生务必明确强调的部分可以是句子中除了谓语以外的任何成分，要特别注意强调句与“not until”的连用。如：_（直到失去健康） that people know the value of health. 答案：it is not until they lose it 7）介词 with （without ）引起的状语结构介词 with 与名词或名词结构搭配

21、引起的状语可以表示对象、方式、伴随、对照、结果、让步等，正确地使用 with 能够让学生在汉译英的过程中化繁为简。例如： _ （有了这些措施） ， we can change our society into one in which natural resources will be fully cherished 答案： with these measures 此外，代词和连接词的使用、状语从句以及名词性从句和形容词性从句的用法也是考生应该重点复习的对象。历年四级翻译2011年 12 月87. charity groups organized various activities to r
