Question

【題目】 The other day Roy Price went "home" to his sister's house. It's her home now, but it's also the house he was born in. Pat, his sister kissed him and said, "You haven't changed much, Roy. ___自從上次見面后，我們有很多年沒見了。Let me see now. When did we meet last?"

"Twenty-five years ago," he answered. "I was here for a week. Do you remember?" He added.___"You haven't changed much, either." It was polite for Roy to say so, but it wasn't true. Pat seemed almost an old lady.

___The next morning, Roy walked through the village alone. The place looked very different. There were lots of traffic signs on that roads and beside the roads, there was a new car park, a new post office and a new bus stop. He remembered suddenly that the bus used to stop anywhere-you just put up your hand and it stopped. One surprise followed another. The railway station was gone! The school was gone. A lot of farm machinery stood in the playground!

___But Roy's biggest surprise was the people. He didn't recognize anybody at all, perhaps because everyone seemed old. He went into the post office and bought some stamps. "Where are all the children and young people?" he asked the postmaster.

The old fellow looked up from his book of stamps. "Children?" he said, "They are in school, of course. There are three or four young families here. The children go to school by bus-to Horham."

At lunch Pat said, "The village looks nice, doesn't it?"

"It's all different, Pat. It used to be an exciting place. ___但是現(xiàn)在村子里滿是老年人。I don't understand..."

"There are few newcomers, but the ones we knew are still here. You're also not young, Roy, are you?"

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】We haven't seen each other for many years since we met last time.

【2】你也沒有太大變化。

【3】第二天早上，羅伊獨(dú)自一人穿過村莊。

【4】但是最讓羅伊吃驚的是這里的人。

【5】But now the village is full of old people.

【解析】

本文主要講的是家鄉(xiāng)以及自己的變化。

【1】漢譯英。自從：since；上次：last time；見面：meet；我們：We；很多年：for many years；彼此相見：see each other。此題是由since引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句，從句用一般過去時(shí)。主句用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，其結(jié)構(gòu)是：have/has+動(dòng)詞的過去分詞。此題又是否定句。故答案為：We haven't seen each other for many years since we met last time.

【2】英譯漢。You：你；haven't changed much：沒有太大變化；either：也。故答案為：你也沒有太大變化。

【3】英譯漢。the next morning：第二天早上；Roy：羅伊；walked through the village：穿過村莊； alone：獨(dú)自一人。故答案為：第二天早上，羅伊獨(dú)自一人穿過村莊。

【4】英譯漢。but：但是；Roy's biggest surprise：最讓羅伊吃驚的；was：是；the people：這里的人。故答案為：但是最讓羅伊吃驚的是這里的人。

【5】漢譯英。但是：but；現(xiàn)在：now；村子里：the village；滿是老年人：be full of old people。此題的主語是the village，因此be用is。故答案為：But now the village is full of old people.
