名師英語四級翻譯備考課堂筆記：
1. We can say a lot of things about those _______________ (畢生致力于詩歌的人): they are passionate, impulsive, and unique.
2. Mary couldnt have received my letter, _______________ (否則她上周就該回信了).
3. Nancy is supposed to _______________ (做完化學實驗)at least two weeks ago.
4. Never once _____________ (老兩口互相爭吵)since they were married 40 years ago.
5. ____________________ (一個國家未來的繁榮在很大程度上有賴于)the quality of education of its people.
答案與解析：
1.who have devoted/dedicated their lives/themselves to poetry
本句是一個定語從句，先行詞是those指代人，因此用who引導; 致力于：devote/dedicate ones life/oneself to sth.
2.or/otherwise she should/would have written back last week.
此題考查考生對虛擬語氣的掌握情況。對過去的虛擬我們要使用would/should have done。
3.have finished the chemical experiment
此題考查的是現在完成時。be supposed to do sth. 是固定用法，但考慮到實驗是 two weeks ago 完成的動作，此處應該用動詞不定式的完成時。
4.have the old couple quarreled with each other
此題考查倒裝句的使用。英語中表示否定含義的詞never, little, seldom, not until, hardly,no sooner等, 置于句首時主謂結構要用倒裝語序，又在since+時間點的句型中，主句要使用完成時。
5.The future prosperity of a nation depends/rests largely/mainly on/upon
注意高頻詞：prosperity;此句的考點是主謂一致。 很大程度上 可譯作largely, mainly 或to a large/great extent， 有賴于 是 depend/rest on/upon ,這一詞組在2007年12月的翻譯中也出現過。
