1)WhatweretheJonasBrothersdoingin2005?

2)WhydidNickJonasseekmedicalattention?

Notes:

1.FortheJonasBrothers,2005wasshapinguptobequiteayear.

对乔纳斯兄弟而言，2005年有望成为不寻常的一年。

quiteayear相当于quiteasuccessfulyear。quitea后面如果直接跟名词，

而没有形容词来修饰这个名词，那么某个形容词的意思往往隐含在词组之中。

又如：

Youputonquiteashow.=Youputonquiteaniceshow.

你们演了一出很好的戏。

Thatisquiteasunset.=Thatisquiteasplendidsunset.

好壮观的日落画面。

2ButwhenNick—13atthetime—finallysought

medicalattention,doctorsdiscoveredthattheproblemwasalotmore

serious

但当尼克(当时是13岁)最终寻求医生治疗时，医生们却发现问题要严

重得多。

句中两个破折号之间的13atthetime可以视作插入语。

3.Hehasadiseasecalledtype1,orjuvenile,diabetes.

他患的病叫做一型糖尿病或儿童糖尿病。

juvenile是type1的同位语，两者同是diabetes的修饰语。即：Hehasadisease

calledtype1diabetes,orjuvenilediabetes.

尼克的症状一如体重急剧下降和情绪波动一正是一型糖尿病患者的

似逗号，但是比逗号更能突出插入的成分。

这种病如不治疗有可能产生灾难性的后果。

Leftuntreated是一个表示假设的过去分词短语，相当于Ifitisleft

PartIVTranslation&Writing

Teachingnotes:

本单元的英译汉练习是英语比较结构的翻译。英语中的比较结构主要

通过形容词和副词的三级比较形式体现的：原级、比较级和最高级。但在实

际应用中，比较的内容和形式可能不仅限于上面三种。常见的比较结构的意

义较容易理解，也较容易翻译。但有些时候，形式上的同级比较在意义上表

达的却是最高级比较，有时还用于表达强调，如练习第六句Ifyoutriedas

hardasyoucouldanddidn'tbecomeadoctor,wouldthatmeanyourwhole

lifewasafailure?中的ashardas,形式上是同级比较，我们根据意义把整个

句子译成“如果你尽了自己最大的努力却没有成为医生，那就能意味着你的整

个人生都失败了吗？

再注意练习第一句Ifso,yourhomeworkisgoingtotakealotlongerthanit

should,andyouwon'tdoyourbest.中的alot修饰longer翻译成“（用的时间）

多很多”。又如：

othergirls.

莉齐显然要比其他女孩聪明得多。

Ilikeanimalsbecausetheylivetheirliveswithsomuchmorefreedom

thanhumanslivetheirs.我喜欢动物因为它们远比人类活得自由得多。

第五句Greenroofscanbemorethanjustenergysavers,too.根据上

下文意义，译成：绿色屋顶也不仅仅只是节约能源3还能起到别的作用）。

下面提供一些含有比较结构的句子翻译：

Iwasmoreamusedthanshockedbywhatshetoldme.

她对委赢话与其施赢感到震惊，倒不如说使我感到好笑。

Itwasmoreafriendlywarningthanathreat.

这与其而显威胁,不如说是友瓦福告。

Practicalwriting:

介绍信可以介绍个人或某公司/机构，也可以介绍产品、设备或服务。通

过介绍信，两个（或几个）互不相识的人得以认识，或使别人对某公司/机构、

产品、设备或服务得以了解。还有一种是自我介绍信。介绍信要写得简短，

介绍某人时，要写明被介绍人的姓名、身份或职业，以及介绍他们相识的原

因或目的等。如是要求对方给予被介绍人照顾和帮助，还要向对方表示感谢。

介绍产品、设备或服务时，要解释它们与现有那些产品、设备或服务有什么

差异，是不是更方便？更便宜？更安全些？更容易使用？要把介绍的理由说

清楚。

下面是介绍信常用的一些表达方式：

*Iwanttointroduceyouto...

*I'mwritingtointroduceyouto...

*Thepurposeofthisletteristobrieflyintroduce.

*Wearepleasedtoannounce.

*Thisistointroduce.

*Iampleasedtointroduce.

*We'rehappytointroduce.

*MynameisandIamcontactingyoutointroduce.

*Thisistoannouncetheappointmentof(Name)tothe

positionof(Post).

*Itiswithgreatpleasurethatweannouncetheopeningof.

*Iampleasedtorecommendtheservicesof(Clean-UpServices)

toyou.

(1)假设你是某公司的销售部经理,向客户写一封信介绍该公司(包括公司历

史、主要经营业务等)并希望能与对方建立业务关系。

(2)假设你的朋友是某校学生,他I她为了写论文要去某城市做市场调查,正

巧你在那个城市有个熟人,你为他/她写封介绍信,希望对方予以帮助。
