2020年CATTI笔译三级词汇和语法专项试题(九)

来源 :中华考试网 2020-10-02

  从以下选项中指出与句子划线部分意思相近的词:

  Sometimes students are given a passage unintelligible even to teachers of English.

  A. disagreeable

  B. inconsiderable

  C. incredible

  D. incomprehensible

  参考答案:D. incomprehensible

  解析:unintelligible是由前缀un-和intelligible组合而来。intelligible的意思“可理解的”和“明白易懂的”,即Something that is intelligible can be understood. 例如:1)The language of Darwin was intelligible to experts and non-experts alike./达尔文的语言无论对专家还是非专业人士而言都明白易懂。2)The woman moaned faintly but made no intelligible response. /那个女人发出微弱的呻吟声,却没有作出任何有意义的反应。因此,前缀un-加上,则是相反的意思,想“不易明白”或“无法题解的”。在这四个选项中,D. incomprehensible的意思与它的最相近。 不过,intelligible与intelligent没有直接的关系。后者是指一种理解事物能力,即“智力”,如《柯林斯英语词典》的解释:A person or animal that is intelligent has the ability to think, understand, and learn things quickly and well.

  从以下挑出最符合句子意思的选项:

  She didn't __________ the door key to her landlord until she got back her deposit.

  A. hand in

  B. hand down

  C. hand out

  D. hand over

  参考译文:D. hand over

  解析:在整个句子里,大概的意思是她得拿回房租押金后,才会将房门钥匙还给房东。选项里,四个字面意思上都是“交”的意思,不过,哪个是与“交钥匙”的意思相似呢?Hand in 的“交”是“交出”或“交上”,有从属性,即给的人在社会地位或等级上更高一些。在《柯林斯英语词典》里的解释就显现了出来:If you hand in something such as homework or something that you have found, you give it to a teacher, police officer, or other person in authority. 例如:I'm supposed to have handed in a first draft of my dissertation. 我本该把论文的初稿交上去了。Hand down由与“hand in”的意思有一点相对,不是“交上去”,而是“传下去”,即If you hand down something such as knowledge, a possession, or a skill, you give or leave it to people who belong to a younger generation. 例如:The idea of handing down his knowledge from generation to generation is important to McLean. /把自己的知识一代代传下去的想法对麦克莱恩来说很重要。Hand out的意思是“分发、散出”,就是在大街上发宣传单或小广告的方式,即If you hand things out to people, you give one or more to each person in a group. Hand over的意思是“递给”,即将一个东西给某人。英文解释是If you hand something over to someone, you pass it to them. 例如:He also handed over a letter of apology from the Prime Minister.他还递交了一封首相写的道歉信。通过以上的分析,可以看出,hand over是合适的选项。
