87 Because of the noise outside, Nancy had great difficulty in focusing on the experiment. (集中注意力在实验上)
点评: have difficulty in doing sth.(in可以省略)这个搭配在2006年四级改革时的样卷中已经出过,当时是翻译“在找去博物馆的路方面有困难”。这次是重复出现,考生必须把历次真题及样卷的翻译看一看,写一写。
88 The manager never laughed; neither had she lost her temper. (她也从来没有发过脾气)
点评:考点是 部分倒装。部分倒装分两种情况,一种是否定词前置的(正如本题);另一种是only前置的。
89 We look forward to being invited to attend the opening ceremony (被邀请出席开幕式)
点评:考点是被动语态的变化形式,look forward to的to是介词,所以后面用-ing结构。
90 It is suggested that the air conditioner (should) be installed by the window.(要安装在窗户旁)点评:考点是虚拟语气。Suggest等动词作主句谓语时,宾语从句往往用虚拟语气的表达,在表达过程中should可以省略。
91 The 16-year-old girl decided to travel abroad on her own despite her parents’ strong objection. (她父母的强烈反对)
点评:考点是重要介词的翻译方法。
