2. 昨晚 9 点前我们已经完成了工作。
翻译:We had finished our work before 9 o'clock last night.
答案:We had finished the work by nine o’clock last night.
解析:by&before
before常与一般将来时或过去时连用。
by后是将来的时间,则常与将来完成时连用,若by后是过去的时间,则常与过去完成时连用。
3. 我们到那的时候,动车已经开了。
翻译:When we arrived, the bullet train had gone.
答案:When we got there, the bullet train had left.
解析:动车CRN/bullet train
arrive 到达,原句是到那got there 更好
4. 她跟我说她以前看过那本书。
翻译:She told me she had read that book.
答案:She told me she had read the book before.
解析:以前,没有翻译出来
5. 到 2015 年底,他们已经完成了那个项目。
翻译:They had finished that project at the end of 2015.
答案:They had completed the project by the end of 2015.
解析:finish & complete
*finish
to complete something or come to the end of an activity完成,(使)完结
*complete
to finish doing something完成;完工;结束
*at the end of,by the end of
这一对短语的意思都是“在…的末了”、“在…的一端”,意义上相似,但使用场合有所不同。
一般说来,at the end of用于表示具体事物或场所的场合,它也可以用来表示比喻意。例:
The school is situated at the end of the street.
He is at the end of his wits.
By the end of用于表示时间的场合,往往含有“不迟于”的意味。值得注意的是,at the end of亦可用于表示时间的场合但其义和by the end of有所不同。试对比下面两例:
at the end of January 一月底(指一月份的最后一天)
by the end of January 一月底之前(指一月份结束前的几天)
6. 我本打算准时到那的。
翻译:I had intended to arrive there on time.
答案:I had intended to be there on time.
7. 她本打算是要去机场送你的。
翻译:She had intended to deliver you to airport.

9. 他本想帮你的,但当时没时间。

解析:then

10. 我是想要让自己在闹钟响起来的时候就起床,不过我昏沉沉的大脑总是能说服我重新躺回去。
翻译:I had wanted to get up when the alarm clock rang, but my dizzy brain always persuaded me lay down again.
答案:I had intended to get up when the alarm went off, but my foggy brain
kept negotiating me right back to sleep.
解析:昏沉沉的大脑foggy brain
说服我重新躺回去
kept negotiating me right back to sleep
kept negotiating表现出自己挣扎的样子
right back马上返回
心得:
本次翻译重点是过去完成时。特别是,表示非真实的过去“本来要”,可以使用的词有:intend, mean, hope, want, plan, suppose, expect, think 。
还有by, before, at/by the end of 的介词用法,也进行了整理复盘和巩固。
【重点】选择题:
I ___five cups of coffee this afternoon.
A.have been drinking B.have drunk
答案选B,完成进行时态不能用来谈论某个动作的具体次数或几件事情。
这里,说出了具体的数目——五杯咖啡。所以用完成时,不用完成进行时。
✨举一反三✨
比如,今天上午到目前为止我写了三封信。这句话应该用什么时态呢?
A.I have written three letters this morning。
B.I have been writing three letters this morning。
WHICH ONE?
