DAY222【Ubeego•阅读专篇】恋爱跟考研一样,开始之后,都是慢慢成就的过程
【答案解析】题干分析,本题属于细节原因题。通读原文,在华盛顿所在的句子无法直接发现他释放奴隶的原因,实际上,本题真正考查的是关于非限定定语从句的知识,即“…who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War”一句,其与主句的关系实际上是因果关系,这样,本题的答案即出现,B项。【词汇突破】approximately:大概,近乎;observe:观察,见证;opposition:反对,敌对;relative:亲戚;grant:授予,允许;legislative:立法的;【语法点拨】想看语法,看官请移驾关注微信平台“威莱顿英语”,上面有详细而且成系列的语法讲座;或者在本文后面留言,本平台会及时解答。【参考翻译】Washington,who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strong opposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. 因为华盛顿在亲眼见到黑人士兵在“独立战争”中的勇敢无畏之后,开始相信所有的人是生而平等的,所以,他最终不顾家人的反对,断然地赋予他的奴隶以自由。【翻译点拨】本次翻译,复杂从句,背景知识,过程中使用了“语序调整”和“意译”的方法。21.
