形容词的固定搭配(3)
固定搭配是六级汉英翻译试题部分考查的重点和难点。考生在复习备考的过程中一定要注意加强积累，才能在考试中熟练地运用。今后每期将有二十到三十个固定搭配，太简单的(比方a few 有些，几个)我就直接无视掉了，每天记住几个就OK了，而且很多我们也学过。这样在考试前我们能掌握近五百个搭配。

Exercise Seventeen

1. If machines really thought as men do
解析：本题意为：如果机器真的能像人一样会思考的话，那么就没有理由害怕它们，如同没有理由害怕人类一样。考查的是虚拟语气的用法。如果所述与现在事实相反，那么虚拟条件句的从句谓语部分用过去时态，主句谓语部分用would/could/might/should+动词原型。如果所述与过去事实相反，则从句谓语用过去完成时态，主句谓语用would/could/might/should+动词现在完成时态。如果所述与将来事实相反，则从句谓语用 should/were to+动词原型，主句谓语用would/could/should/might+动词原型。本题属第一种。
2. normally uses evaporation as a means of cooling
解析：本题主要考查考生的词汇量。"蒸发"和"降温"可以分别用evaporation，cooling。cool本来是形容词"凉爽的，酷的，好的"，作为动词可以表示降温。本句可译为：在缺乏水分时，植物一般用蒸发作为降温的手段。
3. spoken to them on equal terms
解析：本题在理解上有一定难度，首先要看懂全句意思：他从来没有同它们亲密来往，或是同它们坦诚交流，但由于他的地位和高人一筹的聪明才智，他要求、也通常赢得了他们的尊敬。"同他们坦诚交流"的"坦诚"英语里没有一个对应词，只有用短语来表示。on equal terms是一个习惯用语，表示"平等相处"。另外，句子需填入部分还要注意前后时态一致。前半句用的是He has never...而...or...暗示前后是并列结构，所以"交流"也应用完成时态。
4. to give you a make-up examination
解析：要看出本题是一个虚拟语气句，had you gone and explained...是由于省略了标记词if而部分倒装。"补考"在英文里有固定搭配make-up examination。make up表示弥补、整理、和解、不足等。make-up暗含"补救"的意思。而这句话没有必要译成to give you a chance of make-up examination，因为这样在语义上就犯了重复的错误。这句话完整的意思是：如果你去向他解释你父母那时生病了，你的数学老师会乐于给你一次补考机会的。
5. As the children become financially independent
解析：本题考查的是"随着......"状语从句，英语可以用as引导。另一个考点是汉语动词词性向英语形容词词性的转换。全句意为：随着孩子们在经济上从家庭中独立出来，家庭经济保障的重心将从保护转移到为退休后的生活储蓄。
