51.那本书毫无价值可言。误Thatbookisinvaluable.正Thatbookisvalueless.注：invaluable和valueless一个是在形容词valuable（有价值的）之前加上否定形容词前缀in-；另一个是在名词value（价值）的后面加上否定形容词-less，但它们的意思却刚好相反。invaluable是指“非常贵重的，无价的”（highlyvaluable,precious），其同义词是priceless；valueless的意思却是“毫无价值的”，相当于worthless。现将这两个词用在同一个句子中，以便区别：Thebookthatheconsideredvaluelessprovedinvaluabletous（他认为毫无价值的那本书对我们来说却是无价之宝）。52.IBM公司一直处在电脑行业的前沿。误IBMisalwaysinthefrontlineofcomputerindustry.正IBMisalwaysatthecutttingedgeofcomputerinsustry.注：frontline是“前线，第一线”的意思，常指最危险或最艰苦的地方。例如：ManydoctorsareinthefrontlineofthefightingagainstSARS（许多医生战斗在抗击“非典”的第一线）。atthecuttingedge最早出现在20世纪50年代，它最初指“锐器的锋利部位”，现在常隐喻“处在（高科技的）最前沿。53.一位有经验的教师曾经说，上课之前他觉得如临大敌，上课时他是如履薄冰，只有上完课后他才会如释重负。误Anexperiencedteacheroncesaidthatbeforeclasshefeltasiffacedwithaformidableenemy,inclasshefeltlikewalkingonice,andonlyafterclasswouldhefeelrelieved.正Anexperiencedteacheroncesaidthatbeforeclasshefeltasiffacedwithaformidableenemy,inclasshefeltlikewalkingoneggs,andonlyafterclasswouldhefeelrelieved.注：中文的“如履薄冰”是比喻一个人“做事十分小心谨慎或战战兢兢”，而英语的类似说法却是walkoneggs或treadoneggs，要注意中英文喻体的不同。54.我有一个舒适的家。误Ihaveacozyfamily.正Ihaveacozyhome.注：family和home虽然翻译成汉语时都是“家”，但它们在英语中却不是同义词。family主要指家庭成员；而home主要指居住地，即“住宅”。原文中用“舒适的”来修饰“家”，显然是指“舒适的房子”。如果原文是“我有一个和睦的家”，就应该翻译成Ihaveaharmoniousfamily了。55.每节课老是都会点名。误Theteacherwillcallournamesineveryperiodofclass.正Theteacherwillcalltherollineveryperiodofclass.注：英语的“点名”是calltheroll，而callonesname(s)的意思是“谩骂某人”。rool有“名册”的意思，又如Givethefloorto请发言；给予发言权Itisagreatpleasureformeto我很荣幸Relevantissues相关问题Updatedresearchresult最新的调查结果Attachtheimportanceto对给予重视Lead-edgetechnologies领先技术MinisterCounselor公使Naturalheritage自然遗产Sharedconcern共同关心的问题Well-deservedreputation良好的信誉对表示衷心的感谢expresssinceregratitudeto请讲话Letswelcometogiveaspeech双边会议bilateralconference以掌声对表示的最热烈的欢迎proposethewarmestapplauseto主办单位sponsor颁奖仪式theAwardCeremony贺词greetingspeech隆重举行observethegrandopeningof请颁奖Letsinvitetopresenttheaward取得圆满成功achievecompleteceremony全球庆典globalcelebrationceremony宣布结束declaretheclosingof请全体起立，奏国歌Pleaseriseforthenationalanthem.Collectivestewardship集体管理Competitivejobmarket充满竞争的就业市场Financialinstitutions金融机构Forward-looking进取GrossNationalProduct国民生产总值Meetthechallenges迎接挑战Publicauthorities公共机构Regulatorymechanism法规机制Thethresholdofourtransitionintothenewmillennium跨越新千年的门槛UNCHS(UnitedNationsCenterforHumanSettlements)联合国人居中心Urbanresidents城市居民Well-servicedformalcity服务齐全的高尚城市把列为重要内容placeasthepriority不放松工作neverneglectthework节约用水waterconservation对表示衷心祝贺extendoursincerecongratulationson节约用水先进城市modelcityofwaterconservation使取得预期效果attaintheresultsexpected授予光荣称号conferhonorableawardson为而奋斗strivefor严重缺水城市acityofseverewatershortage有关单位unitsconcerned与比有差距comparedwith。,thereisstillsomewaytogo预祝圆满成功wishacompletesuccess开源与节流并重broadensourcesofincome&reduceexpenditure对外贸易港口seaportforforeigntrade国内生产总值NationalGrossProducts欢聚一堂merrilygather活跃的经济带vigorouseconomicregion基础雄厚solidfoundation留下最美好的印象mayyouhaveamostpleasantimpression盛世thegrandoccasion祝愿在停留愉快wishapleasantstay综合性商港comprehensivecommercialseaport春意盎然springisverymuchintheairforestcoverage森林覆盖率globalwarming全球变暖principalelement主要因素toxicemission废气排放迸发出心灵的火花ignitethesparksofunderstanding建立合作桥梁buildthebridgeforcooperation内容翔实substantialincontent能源大省majorprovinceofenergy日程紧凑tightinschedulecallupon号召conservationbenefits节水的好处industrialreuseandrecycling工业中水利用pollutionfines污染罚款urbanwaterconservation城市节水watersavingfixtures节水装置地区经济regionaleconomic港口经营多元化diversificationinportoperation责任和义务performourdutiesandfulfillourobligations地区行业盛会awell-knownregionaleventoftheindustry发起港initiatingportsbreakfree冲破藩篱civilsociety民间团体ethniclines种族genuinepartnership真正的合作伙伴squattersettlements违章建筑区withoutaccessto享受不到畅所欲言opendialogues计划经济的束缚theboundingofplanningeconomy紧迫问题pressingissues科教兴省和走可持续发展的道路vitalizetheprovincebyscienceandtechnologyandsustainabledevelopment空前膨胀unprecedentedinflated控制增长势头curbthetrendofsteeprise面临严峻挑战faceseverechallenges清醒地看到acutelyaware生态恶化ecologicaldeterioration提高意识strengthentheawareness相互尊重，求同存异，平等互利，优势互补，借鉴经验，拓展合作，立足当前，着眼未来respecteachother,seekthecommongroundwhileputtingasidedifference,enjoyequalityandmutualbenefits,complementeachothersadvantages,learneachothersexperience,expandthecooperation,standfromthepresentandlookforwardtothefuture以此会议为契机taketheopportunityofthisseminar滞后lagbehind转轨建制过程缓慢thetr4ansitionofmechanismisslow总结经验教训drawlessonsfromthepastcommunitydevelopmentoriented以发展社区为宗旨的deservedwinners当之无愧的获奖者ethnicminorities少数民族gainfulemployment有报酬的genderissues性别问题handicraftworks手工艺品incomegeneration工薪阶层in-depthknowledge深入了解thehandicapped残疾人不求最大，但求最好seekthebestinsteadofthelargest产业结构industrialstructure城乡一体化theunifieddesignbetweenthecityandthecountryside短期行为short-termconduct房地产开发realestatedevelopment扶贫帮困helpandsupportthepoor公共绿地publiclawn公用事业publicutilities会展中心conventioncenter基建规模infrastructurescale精品意识consciousnessforthebest精品住宅区modelhumansettlements企业效益enterpriserevenue文明乘车civilbusride希望工程HopeProject以人为本humancentered主办城市thehostcity综合治理comprehensivelyadministereconomicrecession经济萧条pressconference记者招待会roughdiamond钻坯sophisticatedmachine先进机
