Question

【題目】第一節(jié) 語(yǔ)篇翻譯

Big Ben(大本鐘), will fall quiet for four years. 66.它是倫敦最受歡迎的地方之一。 But now it needs repairs. It has worked for 157 years. It sounded for the last time at noon on August 21 this year.

Four years would be a long time for London people. 67.Although they felt a little upset, they were still understanding. “It will be very sad, but it needs to be done,’ said Kirsten Hurrel. “68.I already prepared myself for the days without the rings for Big Ben.” About 2,5700 people went to hear Big Ben’s last rings. However, 69.如果有重要的事件，大本鐘又會(huì)開(kāi)始工作。 For example, it will spend the New Year’s Eve with its people and the speech of the Queen.

Well, this is not the first time in history that the bell has stopped. It stopped for repairs between 1983 and 1985, and again in 2007.

The bell is the largest bell in the country. It is about 13 tons, as heavy as two elephants. The repairs may cost about 29 million. By the year 2021 when it reappears, Big Ben will look totally newly-dressed. 70.“I believe most people in London are looking forward to that day,” said the chief engineer Adams White.

【解析】

本文主要向我們介紹了世界著名景點(diǎn)——大本鐘。

【1】句意：它是倫敦最受歡迎的地方之一。

“……之一”用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)是“one of+可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)”；“最受歡迎的”用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)是“the most popular”。故答案為It is one of the most popular places in London.

【2】句意：盡管他們覺(jué)得有點(diǎn)失落，但是他們?nèi)耘f理解。

Although翻譯為“雖然，盡管”；a little upset翻譯為“有一點(diǎn)失落”；still understanding翻譯為“仍舊理解”。故答案為“盡管他們覺(jué)得有點(diǎn)失落，但是他們?nèi)耘f理解。”

【3】句意：我自己已經(jīng)為那些沒(méi)有大本鐘鐘聲的日子做好了準(zhǔn)備。

Already翻譯為“已經(jīng)”；prepare for翻譯為“為……做準(zhǔn)備”；without the rings for Big Ben翻譯為“沒(méi)有大本鐘鐘聲”。故答案為“我自己已經(jīng)為那些沒(méi)有大本鐘鐘聲的日子做好了準(zhǔn)備�！�

【4】句意：如果有重要的事件，大本鐘又會(huì)開(kāi)始工作。

“如果”用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)是if；“重要的事件”用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)是important event；“開(kāi)始工作”用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)是start to work again。故答案為If there is an important event, the Big Ben will start to work again.

【5】句意：我相信大多數(shù)倫敦人都期盼著那一天。

“相信”用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)是believe；“大多數(shù)倫敦人”用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)是most people in London ；“期盼”用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)是look forward to。故答案為我相信大多數(shù)倫敦人都期盼著那一天。
