应试亮剑 2009年6月英语六级翻译指导及练习(32)

　　Exercise Thirty-two

　　1. ______________(除非你和保险公司签订货物保险合同)，you are not entitled to a repayment for the goods damaged in delivery.

　　2. ______________(据报道，这个地方卫生组织25年前就成立了)when Dr. Mark became its first president.

　　3. Mrs. Smith shut the window lest ______________(外面的噪音会影响她儿子的睡眠).

　　4. The new mayor was charged ______________(未能履行他降低通货膨胀率的承诺).

　　5. _____________(每当遇到这类问题时，我的大脑就一片空白)，and I can hardly remember my own date of birth.

　　1. Unless you sign a contract with the insurance company for your goods

　　解析：本题考查对连词unless用法的掌握。unless表示"除非......否则"，相当于"if...not"，常用于引导条件状语从句。

　　2. It is reported that the local health organization was established 25 years ago/The local health organization is reported to have been established 25 years ago

　　解析：本题考查形式主语it及被动语态的用法。It is reported that...意为"据报道......"，it为形式主语，后面的that从句为句子的真正主语，表示"卫生组织成立"应该用被动语态。另外，本句也可以直接用报道的对象the local health organization充当主语，原来从句中的谓语动词转换成相应的不定式的完成式。

　　3. the noise outside (should) interfere with her son's sleep

　　解析：本题考查对虚拟语气和短语interfere with的掌握。连词lest(以免)，for fear that(唯恐，恐怕)和in case(万一)引起的从句中谓语动词常使用虚拟语气，其形式为"should+动词原形"，should可省略。interfere with意为"打扰妨碍(某事)"。

　　4. with failure to fulfill his promise to decrease the inflation rate

　　解析：本题考查charge的搭配以及其他一些短语的用法。Charge sb. with sth.意为"以某事指控或控告某人"，另外accuse...(of)也表示"指控或控告"，注意不同的介词搭配。Failure(fail) to do sth.常用于表示"未能做成某事"，本句中是跟在介词with后面，所以用名词failure。

　　5. When confronted with such questions，my mind goes blank

　　解析：本题考查对短语be confronted with及单词blank的掌握。Be confronted with sb./sth.表示"面对、面临某人或某事"，go blank常用于表示"(思想或大脑)变得空白、呆滞"。
