A very strict officer was talking to some new soldiers whom they
had to train. He had never seen them ago, so he began,\" My name
is Stone,and I' m even hard than stone,so do what I tell you,
and there will be trouble. Don' t try any tricks with me,and then
we' Il get on well together.\" Then he went to each soldier one
after other and asked him his name. \"Speak loudly so that
everyone can hear of you clearly, \"he said, \"and don't
forget to call me 'sir'.\" Each soldier told him his name,until
he came to the last one. This man remained silently.
Captain Stone shouted at him,\"When I asked you a
question, answer it ! I'll tell you again. What' s your name
soldier ?\" The soldier was very unhappy,but at last he said,
\"My name is Stonebreaker!\"

It was very late when we came out the cinema.
We knew the last train will leave at 11: 50. So
we ran as faster as we could to the station.
It was just quarter past 11 when we arrived
in the station,but the trains often leave a
little late and there was a train stood at
the platform(站臺). So we got in. We waited
for half a hour,then we got out. We found a
station worker and asked when the train is
going to leave for. \"Tomorrow morning, at six o' clock.\"
he said to lis.

We were late as usually, my husband had
insisted on water the flowers in the garden by
himself, but when he discovers that he couldn't
manage, he asked me help at the last moment.
So now we had an hour to get to the airport.
Lucky for us, there were not many
cars or bus on the road and we were able
to get to there just in time. We checked
in and went straightly to a big hall to
wait for our flight to be calling.

Speech recognition(言語識別) makes it easier than ever to
book a plane ticket,take an order,finding a movie. You may
have got the experience that your flight had delayed because
of had weather. You have to call your speech recognition travel
system and book you on another flight without having to talk
to any human being. Until recent, speech recognition was
only used as a substitute(替代物) for typing on home computers. And
now the technology has improved to the point which travel
industries are turning to speech system designing for use over
the telephone. Speech promises to provide 24-hour customer serving.

While I was working for a nurse in our local hospital,I
received a message from that my husband was in the Emergency(急球)
Department with a broken leg he has suffered in a basketball game
that morning. I hurried from floor to the ED where an operation was
expecting to be done on his injured leg. He was in terrible pain.
I did however I could to comfort him by touching his back,
gentle kissing him. Before I went back to work,l said,\" I' ll
be back again as fast as I can get away. my sweet heart.\"
\"Boy, \"observed one of my husband's teammates,whom
I'd never met,\"are the nurses here all such nice?\"

答案
一
1.they→he。此處whom he had to train系定語從句,譯為:他不得不培訓(xùn)的。是這位strict officer培訓(xùn)士兵,而不是士兵(they)培訓(xùn)士兵。 2.a(chǎn)go→before。
3.hard→harder。從than stone可知,此句中的hard要用其比較級形式,譯為:比石頭更堅硬。
4.a(chǎn)nd there→or there。此處應(yīng)將and改為or。 or作“否則”解。 5.√
6.other→the other(or:another)。
7.hear of→hear。hear sb.譯為“聽見某人的講話”,hear of sb.譯為“聽說某人”。故此處應(yīng)將of去掉。
8.silently→silent。 9.a(chǎn)sked→ask。
10.tell→ask。
二
1.out→out of。 2.will→would。本文敘述的是過去的事。而過去的將來應(yīng)用would do sth.來表達(dá)。
3.faster→fast。as fast as……是原級相比較,故不可用fast的比較級。
4.quarter→a quarter。 5.in→at。
6.stood→standing。此處將stood改為standing以構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在分詞短語作附加說明狀語。
7.√ 8.a(chǎn) hour→an hour。
9.is→was。 10.leave for→leave。leave for……譯為“動身去某處”,文中未提及去某處,故for應(yīng)刪去,只保留其“離開”之意。
三
1.usually→usual。as usual是固定用法,表示“像通常一樣”。
2.water→watering。此處water是動詞,又在介詞on之后,故用V+ing形式。
3.discovers→discovered。整篇短文所用時態(tài)是過去時態(tài)。
4.help前加to。ask sb. to do sth. 是固定用法。
5.√ 6.lucky→luckily。lucky是形容詞,luckily是副詞,此處應(yīng)用副詞。
7.bus→buses。 8.to there→there。
9.straightly→straight. straight是副詞,譯為“直接地”。 10.calling→called。
四
1.√ 2.finding→find。 make it easier than ever to do sth.是這一句的主要結(jié)構(gòu),其中to do sth.是動詞不定式作make的真正賓語,而it是形式賓語。動詞不定式部分有三個并列的動詞原形(to book, take, find),故應(yīng)將finding改為find。
3.had→had been。flight(航班)是被延誤的,故been不可或缺。
4.have→had。此句話敘述的是假設(shè)在過去發(fā)生的一件事,故應(yīng)將have為had。
5.you→yourself。“替你自己訂另一航班的機票”應(yīng)譯為 book yourself(a ticket)on another flight。故應(yīng)將you改為yourself。
6.recent→recently。recent屬形容詞,recently屬副詞,until recently譯為“直到現(xiàn)在”,而沒有until recent這一用法。
7.And→But。此處應(yīng)呈現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)折語氣,故應(yīng)將承上啟下的語氣連詞(And)改為轉(zhuǎn)折語氣的連詞(But)。
8.which→where。此處的定語從句,只缺狀語成分,不缺主、賓等成分,故應(yīng)將which改為where。
9.designing→designed。語言系統(tǒng)(speech system)是被設(shè)計出來的,故應(yīng)用過去分詞短語作定語。
10.serving→service。此處需要用“服務(wù)”的名詞形式service,作provide的賓語,而serving不屬名詞之列。
五
1.for→as。work as……譯為“做……(職業(yè)的)事”,work for譯為“為……而工作”。此處語境要求將for改為as。
2.from that→that。引導(dǎo)的是同位語從句,故that之前不可有from。(cf。但如果句子是:I received a letter from my mother that…,from就是不可或缺的了。)
3.has→had。全篇敘述的是過去發(fā)生的事,故應(yīng)將has改為had。
4.floor→my floor。須知,作者是一家醫(yī)院內(nèi)的護(hù)士,聽說丈夫在籃球賽中跌斷一條腿,她當(dāng)然從她工作的樓層向ED跑去。故floor前應(yīng)加my。
5.expecting→expected。手術(shù)是被人們所期望做的,故應(yīng)用被動態(tài)。
6.however→whatever。did后所接的賓語從句,could后省略了do,因此這一從句中動詞do缺少賓語,故應(yīng)將however改為whatever。
7.gentle→gently。kissing him之前缺少的是狀語,而不是定語(注意:形容詞不可修飾動名詞,而副詞則有此功能),故應(yīng)將gentle改為gently。
8.fast→soon。as soon as是一固定結(jié)構(gòu),譯為“一……就……”,而且又符合此處文意“只要我一走得開,我就立即再回來”。而沒有as fast as 這一固定結(jié)構(gòu),同時將它放到句中,句子也不通順暢達(dá)。
9. √ 10.such→that。such往往修飾名詞,而此處的nice是形容詞,故應(yīng)將such改為that,此處的that是副詞,譯為“那樣的”、“如此的”,而副詞是可以修飾形容詞的。
