大学英语四级备考课堂笔记

university authorities did not approve the regulation, ____________________________(也没有解释为什么).

2. Jane is tired of dealing with customer complaints and wishes that she,_______________________(能被分配做另一项工作).

3. John rescued the drowning child _______________________.

4. George called his boss from the airport but it(接电话的却是他的助手).

5. Although he was interested in philosophy, his father__________________________(他的父亲说服他)majoring in law.

答案与解析：

1、学校领导没有批准这项制度，也没有解释为什么。nor did they make any explanation / nor did they give the reason for doing so.

考察两个知识点。两个否定分句的并列结构，后一个否定词开头的分句中，主谓部分要倒装。nor的倒装句用法，后半句表示 也不 的否定意义，注意助动词的时态与上半句保持一致; 作解释 的表达，考察了汉译英中动词转名词的技巧，explain explanation，或者give an explanation.(注意别写错了explanation，需要去掉i的`)

2、Jane对处理客户投诉的工作厌倦了，她想被分配做另一项工作。could be assigned another job.

考察wish从句的虚拟语气用法(can could)和 分配某人做某事 的词组搭配，assign sb. to sth. 或者assign sb. sth.也可用be arranged to another post.
