2011年6月大学英语四级真题
87.The university authorities did not approve the regulation,____________________________（也没有解释为什么）.
学校领导没有批准这项制度，也没有解释为什么。
解析：nor did they make any explanation / nor did they give the reason for doing so.
考察两个知识点。两个否定分句的并列结构，后一个否定词开头的分句中，主谓部分要倒装。nor的倒装句用法，后半句表示“也不”的否定意义，注意助动词的时态与上半句保持一致;“作解释”的表达，考察了汉译英中动词转名词的技巧，explain →explanation，或者give an explanation.（注意别写错了explanation，需要去掉i的）
88. Jane is tired of dealing with customer complaints and wishes that she,_______________________（能被分配做另一项工作）.
Jane对处理客户投诉的工作厌倦了，她想被分配做另一项工作。
解析：could be assigned (to) another job.
考察wish从句的虚拟语气用法（can→could）和“分配某人做某事”的词组搭配，assign sb. to sth. 或者assign sb. sth.也可用be arranged to another post.
89. John rescued the drowning child _______________________(冒着自己生命危险).
John 冒着自己的生命危险救落水儿童
解析：at the risk of his own life
考察“冒着…的危险/风险做某事”的词组搭配：at the risk of sth. ，可以用at the expense of one’s own life（冒着某人的生命危险做某事）“冒风险”可以用risk (doing) sth.
90. George called his boss from the airport but it（接电话的却是他的助手）.
George 从机场打电话给他的老板，接电话的却是他的助手。
解析：was his assistant who answered / picked up the phone
这句比较灵活，在句法上，既可以使用强调句结构，也可以采用turn out的惯用搭配(turned out that his assistant answered / picked up the phone);在“接电话”的表达上，可以用pick up / answer the phone.
强调句结构为it be sb. who do sth. ,而turn out变化则较多，可以用turn out to be sb. who do sth.或者turn out + that + 从句。
91. Although he was interested in philosophy, his father__________________________（他的父亲说服他）majoring in law.
尽管他对哲学感兴趣，但是他父亲说服他去修法律。
解析：persuaded him into / talked him into
本题考察“说服某人做某事”的表达，persuade / talk sb. into doing sth.或者persuade sb to do sth.
整体评价：今年6月的翻译题难度适中，89和91题的词组搭配是拿分题，而87题的倒装结构和88题的虚拟语气用法也是广大四级考生的“老朋友”，不熟悉实在说不过去~本文是系列完结篇，最后预祝大家顺利取得理想成绩！
