[精解] 本题考核知识点:主语从句的翻译

第一个句子的主干成分是it is true,其中it为形式主语,that引导的从句为真正的主语。由于主语太长,可以将谓语部分提前译为“诚然”。主语从句的主干是the general view was that…,until very recently突出强调了所述现象存在的时间,在翻译时,可以单独译成“直到最近”。主语从句中又包含了that引导的表语从句。后一句是一个简单的被动语态结构It was seen as …,考生注意翻译时应将主语代词it 指代的对象译出,在句中它指代的是“社会保障”。

词汇:represented“代表”;luxury“奢侈,享受”。Essentially“基本的,本质的”。Expenditure“开支,费用”。Needy“贫困的”,在句中与定冠词the搭配,特指一类人,可以译为“贫困群体”。

译文 :诚然,直到最近,普遍的观点依然认为社会保障“体现的是一种享受,从本质上讲是反经济的”。它仅仅被看作是政府用于贫困群体的开支。

    A.plain
    B.average

    答案:B
    解析:
    average“普通的,一般的”,与ordinary同义,修饰man最恰当,意为“普通人,平民百姓”,故选[B]。A.plain有“平凡的”之意,一般不用来修饰人;如用来修饰人,意为“不漂亮的,不美的”。C.mean修饰人时,意为“卑鄙的”;D.normal“正常的,常态的。

  • 第5题:

    Questions 85-87 refer to the following advertisement.
    Gaining green card may involve the black market costs. The green card application process can take a long time, and people often have to eat while waiting for their papers. Many immigrants have resolved this through the acquisition of fake documents. (Note as an attorney, I emphatically do not recommend this. But people do it. A lot.) At their best (and most expensive), fake papers can be quite useful. From talking to immigrants, I have learned that there is a man in a certain Central American capital who, for $6000, will get you a U.S. passport with a name and photo of your choosing that will scan as real on border crossing computers. In New York City, $150-$200 will get you work documents connected to a real Social Security number. $75 will get you a color copy on thick paper that looks like a Social Security card as long as you don’t look closely enough to see that it is actually a “Social Security” card.

    Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

    A. The writer finds fake paper a good solution
    B. Social Security Number is the most expensive
    C. All fake materials are free of any flaw
    D. Fake papers do works quite well sometimes

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据文章所知,申请者在等待绿卡的同时,为了解决温饱会到黑市买一些假的证件,这些证件有时候是有一定欺骗作用的。但根据原文“At their best (and most expensive), fake papers can be quite useful.”可知,fake papers 对移民来说,有时候确实比较有用。所以D 项正确。

  • 第6题:


    Which of the following statements is true according to Tocqueville?( )

    A.As social conditions and opportunities improve,social satisfaction grows more quickly.
    B.Social mechanisms have seemingly conflicting nature.
    C.As social conditions improve,there will be fewer people enjoy the social privilege.
    D.As social conditions improve,the people will have more concentrated power.

    答案:B
    解析:
    细节题。根据最后一段第一句social frustration increases as social conditions improve可知,A项错误;根据最后一段最后一句He wrote that this growing hatred of social privilege,as social conditions improve,leads to the state concentrating more power to itself可知,享有特权的不是人民而是state本身,故D项错误;全文并未提及“享受特权的人数”问题,因此C项错误。故本题选B。参考译文:法国政治科学家、历史学家、哲学家和政治家阿历克西·德·托克维尔以一本四卷册的书《美国的民主》闻名于世。他于1831年来到美国,研究美国的民主形式及其对世界其他地方的意义。在仅仅九个月的访问之后,他完成了一本非凡的作品,至今被奉为经典。托克维尔有着非同寻常的观察力。他不仅描述了政府的民主制度及其运作方式,而且还描述了它对美国人的思考、感受和行为的影响。许多学者认为,托克维尔对美国传统信仰和价值观的理解比任何其他描写美国的人都要深刻。尤其引人注目的是,他在近200年前观察到的这些许多特征今天在美国人身上仍然可见且具有重大意义。他的观察也很重要,因为他访问的时间-19世纪30年代——是在美国工业化之前。这是小农、商人和西部边疆定居的时代,是一个新国家的传统价值观新建立的历史时期。在美国宪法通过大约40年后的短短一代人时间里,这种新的政府形式产生的社会中,人人都有独特的价值观。然而,他是一位中立的观察者,看到了这些品质的两面性。《美国的民主》的第一部分写于1831-1832年,出版于1835年。这本书对美国政府和社会进行了非常积极和乐观的描述,大受欢迎。他试图一瞥美国社会的本质,同时宣扬自己的哲学:阶级平等和不可避免的、根深蒂固的贵族特权。他用了四年时间才完成这本书的剩余部分,并于1840年出版第二部分。第二部分比第一部分更加悲观,他警告了专制和政府集权的危险,并将他的观点和批评直指法国。因此,除了在英国受到高度赞扬之外,它没有像第一部分那样受到欢迎。《美国的民主》着重分析为什么共和党代议制民主在美国取得了成功,但在许多其他地方却失败了。托克维尔指出,宗教在美国能发挥强大作用是因为它与政府分离,所有党派都认同这种分离。他将此与法国作对比,在法国,他认为民主党和宗教之间存在不健康的对立,这与教会和国家之间的联系有关。托克维尔还概述了人类可能过度追求平等,预示着20世纪会产生极权主义国家。托克维尔观察到社会机制存在矛盾,这在后来被称为“托克维尔效应”,即“随着社会条件的改善,社会挫折感也会增加”。他写道,随着社会条件的改善,这种对社会特权日益增长的仇恨导致国家将更多的权力集中到自己身上。
