natureofthereadership,thetypeofthetext,wasnotdiscussed.Too

often,writer,translatorandreaderwereimplicitlyidentifiedwith

eachother.Now,thecontexthaschanged,andthebasicproblemremains.(10)_____参照答案：

1．going∧since－加入on題解：goon的意思是“继续”，符合句子体現的含义“争论一直在继续”。

2．certain－改為acertain題解：此处要体現的意思是“诸多作家喜欢一种自由的翻译措施”，第一次出現這种措施应當加上不定冠詞。rather－改為not題解：根据原句的句子构造，rather应改為not。

4．is－改為was題解：此句应當為過去時。in－改為at

題解：attheturnof19thcentury“拾九世纪之初”，是固定搭配。the－删去第二個the題解：這裏并没有特指某种語言，因此不用定冠詞。view∧translation－加入that題解：在view和translation之间加上that，可将“translationwasimpossible”當作view的同位語。was－删去was題解：条件状語從句常可以省略主語和系動詞。culminated∧the－加入in題解：culminatein是“以告终”的意思，符合上下文含义。and－改為but題解：根据原句意思“目前背景变化了，不過基本問題仍然存在”，两句话之间应當是转折关系。专八真題改錯部分Fromaveryearlyage,perhapstheageoffiveorsix,Iknew

在grow後加up,考固定短語2，

改consience為consciousness

考詞語区别，consience翻译為“良心，道德心”,consiousness翻译為“意识”3，

改soon為sooner，soonerorlater是固定短語4，

在child前加middle,

考上下文理解。作者是三個孩子句中的那位5，

改disagreeing為disagreeable，disagreeing只能作動名詞，不能作形容詞。disagreeablemannernisms令人讨厌的习惯6，

改imaginative為imaginary,考詞語区别

imaginative翻译為“有想象力的”，imaginary翻译為“想象的，虚构的”7，

改literal為literary,考詞义区别，literal翻译為“字面的”，literary翻译為“文學方面的”8，

去掉face後的in，face接宾語時是及物動詞。考動詞的基本使用方法9，

在world後加in或者改which為where,考定語從句10，

改Therefore為However或者Nevertheness,考語境。感悟：11专八改錯相對前几年专八改錯要简朴一點。本人认為詞义区别考得過多了。专八真題改錯部分Sofaraswecantell,allhumanlanguagesareequallypleteandperfectasinstrumentsofmunication:thatis,everylanguageappearstobewellequippedasanyothertosay

____________

customer.1.investing应改為invested，過去分詞作定語

2.在irrespective和fluctuations之间加上介詞of。irrespectiveOf是一固定使用方法，意指“不管，不管，不顾，”等，此处指企业不顾收入的波動变化。

3.把those改為that，that此处替代outlook4．在fact和economic之间力口上关系代詞that。這是一种同位語從語，that在同位語從句中是不能省略的.

5．把定冠詞the去掉,inschool表达上學這個抽象意义6．把形容詞poor改為其比较级poorer。這句中的poor与背面的more形成一對比较关系，表达“越……越……”7．在ways和which之间加上一种介詞in。8．這裏应當用動詞的—lng形式，即eliminating，以便使句型构造与前面的giving(studentsagovernancerole)保持一致，否则句子构造和意思都显得不對的。

9．将shorten(缩短；使变短)改為reduce/lesson/weaken。此处属于用詞不妥。10．将togivediscountson改為togivediscountstotheirbestcustomer。意為实业企业給最佳的客户提供优惠。

3.答案：in→on

【详细解答】固定搭配on...occasions

4.答案rely後加on

【详细解答】固定搭配relyonsb.todosomething

5.答案：makeout→make

【详细解答】makeout意思是“识别出”，而此处意思是“對...做详细的研究”，故用“makedetailedstudiesof...”即可。6.答案：its→their

【详细解答】此处指代的是“investigations”,故用复数。7.答案：public→thepublic

【详细解答】the+adj.可表达某一类人，此处意思是“面向公众”，故应用“thepublic”。8.答案：nevertheless→therefore/thus

【详细解答】此处不是表达意思的转折，而是与前文构成因果关系，故可改為therefore或thus。9.答案：interests→interest

【详细解答】此处當作不可数名詞為佳10.答案：these→those

【详细解答】those指代witnesses,即指代名詞复数做定語從句的先行詞，而these不行改錯DemographicindicatorsshowthatAmericansinthepostwar

2．答案：删除a

【详细解答】此处steadydecline指稳定下降的行為、過程而不是其成果，為不可数名詞，故应去掉定冠詞a。3．答案：went後加on

【详细解答】goon為固定搭配，意為“持续”。4．答案：high→higher

【详细解答】背面有than，此处应為比较级。5．答案：Europe→European

【详细解答】根据上下文，此处应用形容詞作定語修饰名詞counterparts。6．答案：more【详细解答】由上下文可知，more与equally矛盾，故应去掉。7．答案：nevertheless→also

【详细解答】由上下文可知，此处讲的内容与前部分内容之间為递進关系，而非转折关系。8．答案：that→those

【详细解答】由上下文可知，此处所指代的应為前面复数形式的marriages，故指示代詞也应當用复数形式。9．答案：Since→Although（或While）【详细解答】從逻辑上讲，此处应体現让步关系，而非因果关系。10．答案：in→to

【详细解答】to．．．extent為固定搭配，意為“到……程度”

10.___答案与详解1.答案：and→while/whereas【详细解答】前半句意為“发音是在無意识之中學成的”，後半句意為“拼写是故意识地學成的”，它們之间是對比关系，故应當用连詞while来连接。2.答案：with→of【详细解答】beunconsciousof是固定搭配，意為“無意识地，未意识到”。即“我們之中诸多人一辈子都不懂得自已的话听起来是什么样的”。3.答案：speak後加it【详细解答】speakout意為“大胆地說出”，在這裏句意不通。在speakout中加上it，指代前面的speech，意為“當我們說出话後，自已听起来像什么”。4.答案：firstly→first【详细解答】firstly表达次序中的“第一”，first则表达時间上的“第一次，初次”。這裏是說“當我們第一次听到自已的录音時，一般會震惊”。故应将firstly改為first才合乎句意。5.答案：which→that【详细解答】在定語從句中，假如先行詞是代詞something，everything，nothing，little，few等時，关系詞应用that而不是which，故此处应将which改為that。6.答案：went→go【详细解答】本文通篇用的都是一般目前時，因此此处也应用一般目前時，使上下文保持時态一致。7.答案：删除per或every【详细解答】per和every都是“每”的意思，在此属反复錯误，故将两者去掉一种即可。8.答案：This→It【详细解答】根据句子构造，句中缺乏一形式主語，而作形式主語的只能是代詞it，this是“這”的意思，不能用做形式主語，因此应将this改為it。9.答案：munity後加together【详细解答】hold意為“抓住，占据，包括”。此处想体現的意思是“語言用作使小区具有凝聚力、給人归属感的一种方式”，用holdamunity不能体現此意；holdsth．together表达“使結合在一起不破，使团結一致”的意思，符合句意。10.答案：far→away【详细解答】要体現距离上的遠近，在英語中一般用副詞away。far表达“遠，從（到）很遠距离”，不合句意。
