Question

9．由于大雨，格林一家不得不縮短了旅程．The Greens had to cut the trip short because of the heavy rain．/because it rained heavily．

Answer 1

分析 The Greens had to cut the trip short because of the heavy rain．/because it rained heavily．

解答 答案：The Greens had to cut the trip short because of the heavy rain．/because it rained heavily．分析漢語(yǔ)表述的過(guò)去的事情，故主句用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，"不得不"譯為have to所以此句用had to；確定句中值得注意的幾個(gè)短語(yǔ)：the Greens （格林一家），cut the trip short"縮短旅程"；特別值得注意的是句中"由于大雨"作原因狀語(yǔ)的表達(dá)方式有兩種：because of the heavy rain或because it rained heavily．即：because of 后面加名詞（短語(yǔ)），because 后面則跟一個(gè)完整的句子．故此句表達(dá)為：The Greens had to cut the trip short because of the heavy rain．/because it rained heavily．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 此題考查對(duì)整句話的翻譯．做這類題時(shí)先分析所給漢語(yǔ)句子意思確定相關(guān)的時(shí)態(tài)和句型，然后仔細(xì)考慮人稱和數(shù)的變化等細(xì)節(jié)問(wèn)題．
