今天的翻译题是:
1.Jackie makes up his mind to take the first place for fear that __________(他会令父母失望).
2.After the lecture was complete,_____________(她代表所有的学生向演讲者献花).
答案解析:
1.答案:he should let his parents down//he should disappoint his parents
详解:
考查虚拟语气:当for fear that表示“生怕，唯恐”时，在其引导的目的状语从句中，谓语动词常用“(should)+动词原形”。
考查短语:let…down“令…某人失望”，相当于disappoint。
2.答案:she presented the lecturer with flowers on behalf of all the students
详解:
考查时态:“献花”是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。
考查短语:“献花”译为present sb.with flowers;“代表”译为on behalf of。
