2020年PETS3寫作重點句式（2）

1、I can't make up my mind about to have for dessert.

注意的詞語：make up one’s mind：下決心、作決定。

參考譯文：餐后吃什么甜點，我還沒能做出決定。

2、I'm afraid I certainly do mind,if it's all the same to you.

"Do mind"與"all the same"什么意思？

do mind：在英語中強調動詞，用助動詞do（各種時態(tài)）+動詞原形。

all the same：完全一樣，用于強調。

如：Although you didn‘t complete it in time,I appreciate you all the same.

盡管你沒有及時完成，我還是一樣很感激你。

3、One thing I do is work with Make-A-wish.If an ill child's one wish to see a celebrity and he picks me,then I make time to see him.But I have to be very careful with these kids,because if you get too attached,you’re just setting yourself up for loss.

這個句子中重點解析的是"because if you get too attached,you're just setting yourself up for loss."的意思。

參考譯文：我做的一件事就是帶著許愿做事。如果一個病了的孩子的愿望是想看一個名瓦并且他選擇的是我，然后我抽出時間去看望他。但是我必須非常小心的跟這些孩子相處，因為如果你太依戀，你會感到不舍。

because if you get too attached,you're just setting yourself up for loss.因為如果你太依戀，你會感到不舍。

其中attch是：使喜愛，使依戀：因情感因素，如愛戴或忠誠使聯(lián)結。

set oneself up for loss是引起自己處于受損失或失去的狀態(tài)。

4、There are a number of other positions to consider.

"A number of"換成"a lot of"或者是"a great many"行不行，為什么？

可以換成a lot of或a great many of，因為position是可數(shù)名詞。如果這里是不可數(shù)名詞，則只能用a number of代替而不能用a great many.修飾可數(shù)/不可數(shù)都行：a number of/a lot of，只能修飾可數(shù)：a great many of（與many性質一樣）

5、But it came with a price because when he was drinking,we had jobs and money.When he quit,we traded alcoholism for being dirt-poor.

這個句子中重點解析的是"we traded alcoholism for being dirt-poor."這句話的真正含義。

參考譯文：但是這有一定的代價：因為當他飲酒的時候，我們有工作和工錢。當他戒酒了，我們就只有借酒消愁窮困潦倒了。

we traded alcoholism for being dirt-poor：其中的trade sth.for sth.以……和……交易，以酗酒和窮困潦倒交易。

6、Merely requesting a reservation can be as difficult as getting one.

參考譯文：哪怕是僅僅要求預定（房間）都有可能象真要得到它一樣那么難。

7、One day the life free from the harsh decrees of state-sponsored racial repression.

整句話的意思是：有一天，生活可以從洲政府慫恿的殘酷種族壓迫中解放。

8、We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton and just had a blast.Or I'll give everybody a ride in the Ultra light-it's a flying kite.

這個句子中重點解析的是"ride"在這里怎么翻譯。

參考譯文：我們待在Ritz-Carlton并開了個狂歡會。否則我會給每個人乘坐一下“超輕型”——一個飛行的風箏。

ride就是乘坐。

9、The state in which she was born had laws in place waiting to characterize her as unwelcome.

參考譯文：在她出生的洲有專門針對象她那一類人并將他們列為不受歡迎人士的法律。

10、He was a tool pusher essentially,sold drill bits to oil-drilling companies.

參考譯文：他其實是一個工具推銷者，賣鉆頭給開采石油的公司。
