make preparations for“充分的”可选形容词有：enough，sufficient，adequate，而well-prepared多在句中充当表语成分，如：His counsel was well-prepared.他的律师做了充分准备。3.【答案】All that is needed is此句不要受汉语思维的影响用only来翻译，“唯一要做的”，其实是“你所需要做的一切”。4.【答案】without written permission from the publishing house介词短语：without written permission表示“未经允许”;written permission表示“(书面)允许”;the publishing house表示“出版社”。5.【答案】is most clearly observable in the surrounding field and riveris most clearly observable表示“完全可以看出来”，句型The effect ofisobservable.表示“的效果是可以看出的”;surrounding field and river表示“周围的田野和河流”。6.【答案】another common point between the people of our two countries本题通过增补介词使译文的意思更完整。虽然原文没有和between相对应的词，但是“共同点”是两国人民之间在某方面进行比较的结果，所以增补 between之后，符合英语表达习惯。增词法也是汉译英中常用技巧之一。7.【答案】were widely read in English-speaking countries这句话易被错译为were widely read in English countries。原文中“英语国家”的含义是“讲英语的国家”。又如：我卖掉了彩电。I sold out my color TV.这句译文错误在于，没弄清“彩电”的含义。其有两层意思：一是指具体的实物，即彩色电视机color TV set;二是指屏幕上出现的影像，即彩色电视color TV。这都体现了英汉表达差异。8.【答案】and so does reform考点有二：考查词性转移。原文中“解放”用作动词，“生产力”作宾语。译文中处理成名词短语“对生产力的解放”。考查省译法。我们不能把原文译成and reform also means the emancipation of the productive forces，这种结构显得累赘。为避免重复，可选用and so does来代替这个动宾结构。9.【答案】about the present development of information industry“对表示乐观”可以用句型be optimistic about sth.。这句话不能译成about the status of the present development of information industry。“状况”是一个范畴词，没有实际含义，可省略不译。10.【答案】serve the economic development“服务于”即“为服务”，所以要用serve sb./sth.的结构，不能译成be served to。“进程”也是一个范畴词，可以省略不译。另外，be subordinated to是一个固定结构，含义是“从属于隶属于”。11.【答案】only to be told that she couldnt come by then本题考查对“only+不定式”结构的掌握。此结构相当于一个结果状语，意为“结果却”，表示事情的发展与预料相反。如：He rushed all the way to the station only to miss the train.他一路奔跑赶到车站，可是车已经开走了。12.【答案】in appearance but not in characterin appearance表示“外表”，往往包括衣着，而looks 复数形式表示
