63.【答案】A-C-B-D
【解析】这是一句商务英语。重点在对句中party和this agreement is signed的理解。party在句中的含义应为双方而不是党派。sign为“签约”的意思。故选项A最为准确。
64.【答案】C-D-A-B
【解析】译准这个句子的关键在于对“only if”的理解。only if意为“只有”,表示~种条件上的虚拟。A选项把only if误译为“只要”,B选项漏译了“continue to”。D选项虽然理解较为准,但不符合中文的话语特征。
65.【答案】刘老师,我写信给您是希望在下学期能搬入到一个新的寝室。我对我的室友很不满意。因为他做事不顾及别人的感受。他的朋友们经常来寝室找他,而且还定期举行嘈杂的聚会。另外,他有时还未经我的允许动用我的物品。在这种环境下,我很难专注于学业。若您能为我找到另一个寝室,我将十分感激。
【解析】本题相当于一封投诉信。意在写清被投诉人的不合理行为及投诉人的希望。翻译时要注意以下的词和短语:dissatisfaction with意为“对?不满意”,inconsiderate意为“不顾及别人的感受”,constantly意为“经常地”,under these circumstances意为“在这种情况下”。
Part V Writing 【例文】 June 4th,2010 Dear Wang:
Thanks too much for inviting us to join your son’s birthday party. I have seen the lovely baby before and it is worth celebrating for him and your happy family.
But I regret that I cannot go to the party at that time. You know our company has a branch in America and it has something serious happened which needs my immediate decision. Thus I should go back as soon as possible.
I am really sorry for my absence. Hope you will have a wonderful party and a good time.
Sincerely, John Smith
