　　1. were plunged into a dire suffering

　　解析：本题考查考生基本词汇量和短语的掌握情况。"水深火热"在英文中没有一个对等词，所以要采用意译法。可以接受的译法有：a dire suffering，an abyss of suffering，extreme misery。Be plunged into表示"使......陷入，使......遭受"，如：plunge a country into war(使一个国家陷入战争);plunge sb. into deep sorrow(使某人陷入深深的悲痛之中)。另外，前半句中careworn意为"受折磨的，饱经忧患的"。

　　2. theory be combined with practice

　　解析：be combined with...是固定搭配，意为"与......相结合"。Be connected with是指"将......连起来"，在含义上有所差别。其次，句首用了We think it most important that句型，暗示从句要用虚拟语气，should可以省略。

　　3. Rain or shine

　　解析：本题考查固定用法"不论......"，英语用...or...来表达。如：Winter or summer，that lady always wears a long black gown.(不论夏冬，那个老妇人总是穿一身黑色长袍。)类似的表达还有：better or worse，good or evil，sink or swim，men or women，old or young。

　　4. no other than the man

　　解析：本题考查采用反译法翻译，以加强语气，取得较好的修辞效果。No other than强调了那个人就是我们要找的。这句话也可以译成This is just the man we are looking for，但强调的语气就显得要弱一些。此外，no other than要和other than区别开来。如：There's nobody here other than me.(这里除了我没别人。)

　　5. three to five times that of ordinary households

　　解析：本题考查数的表达。考生要学会用"倍数+the size (length,volume) of..."，"...倍数+that of (what it was)..."的句型进行倍数的表达。Household是个集合词，表示家庭，如：average household(中等家庭);multiperson household(多人口家庭);peasant household(农户)。"家务"叫做household affairs。

　　6. I didn't buy a good seat

　　解析：题中"好票"是一个干扰项，是典型的汉语表达。"没有买到一张好票"实际上是说"没有买到好座位"，因此不能译成I didn't buy a good ticket。
