improve the chances to be dating应该改为improve the chance of being asked out for a date。

At first, the girl looks homely with disheveled hair. However she begged, no-one borrowed her.

点评：the girl looks homely with disheveled hair应该改为the girl looks homely and disheveled；borrow是“向……借”，这里要改为lend；第二句话的时态要改为一般现在时(讲的是一个viral video，不管是不是过去发生，还要用现在时。

修改版本：At first, the girl looks homely and disheveled. However she begs, no one lends her money.

文章开头 引出现象的summary:     when where who what why how

A property firm which offers flats specially for single people found that the average age of the buyers is 32, which is not because they are yet to have children, rather, they probably will never have them.

逻辑不清晰，不直接，不到位。

原因：主语不应该是一家公司，而应该直接点出问题的对象——the age ，再想谁的age ，顾客，特征：young single 是多少。事实现象陈述完毕。说明。。。

In London, the average age of people buying Pocket Living, a building designed for single youngsters, is 32, which means young people are postponing their age of having children, or will never have them.

erratic难以捉摸

学生译文：1.  It's free to live on one's own, doing things and living the way you want. It's convenient whether in terms of living styles or learning habits.

点评：is free to live and act 应该改为offers the freedom to live and act…；in the way可以直接说the way，更简洁； learning habits应该改为study habits.

解析：

palette

countable usually singular

■the range of colours that an artist usually paints with用色风格

这里shadow, water, leaf都是可数名词，都要使用复数形式；light表示“光线”是不可数名词，依然保持light原形；lively是形容词，这里应该改为副词vividly。

修改版本：Different hues vividly represent shadows and light, waters and leaves.

represent (这个词很实用，在描述艺术作品时可以用到。）

8. This painting was inspired by his garden view. Monet started growing his own gardens in his forties with cool greens and calm, reflective waters,（波光粼粼的平静睡眠） enhanced by exotic plants.

被启发的对象应该是莫奈的绘画，而不是莫奈自己。build his garden应该改为grow his gardens。后半部分不需要另外起there be句型，造成时态问题，建议与前面合并；sparkling waters是一个酒店名，sparkling water指的是“苏打水”“气泡水”，此处应该用reflective waters。

10. 画家捕捉了一个短暂时刻转瞬即逝的之美，从中创造出永恒。(capture, ephemeral moment, eternity)

10.The painter captured an ephemeral moment of beauty and created eternity out of it.

▪point out to mention something that seems particularly important or relevant:

学生译文：In the past, when options were limited, sellers could ramp up the price of some product which is in demand, but that is unlikely to happen now

点评：关于时态，过去式本身就能表示过去发生的情况，所以in the past可以删去。同上一句，options应该改为choice；some product应该改为a certain product；定语从句可以简化为定语。unlikely应该改为less likely。

修改版本：When the choice was limited, sellers could ramp up the price of a certain in-demand product, but that is less likely to happen now.

学生译文：However, these benefits are at the expense of environment.

点评：表示“自然环境”时，environment前面始终要加the，因此environment应改为the environment。be动词虽然没有语法错误，但不如原句生动形象。

修改版本：However, such benefits come at the expense of the environment.

Require sth of sb(注意不是from)

还有copy off of sb /take my eyes off of sb 这里的of 都和表示 /拿走，使损失/ 的动词搭配

■used in expressions showing loss（用于表示损失）

•They were robbed of all their savings.他们的全部积蓄都被抢走了。

有几名学生没有达到规定的标准。

2．accident 单独用指“偶然”，不指“不幸”，如 She was twenty when accident brought her to the notice of the great author 和 That was merely a matter of accident。by accident 作“偶然地”解，并没有“不幸”的意思。（by accident 的反义表达方式是 by design 或 on purpose。）

但是如果仔细想想 but if you think about it

Gold Standard

1.a system of providing and controlling the exchange of money in a country, in which the value of money (compared to foreign money) is fixed against that of gold  金本位制

学生译文：A month ago I met an old friend who I hadn't seen for a long time, so we have a lot to talk about. Somehow we talked about social news.

点评：用定语从句 who I hadn't seen for a long time修饰朋友属于比较少见的用法。建议参考原句调整。整个句子都是过去发生的事情，we have应该改成we had。talk about更偏重于谈论、说起某事，discuss侧重于“讨论”，结合下文更符合语境。

修改版本：A month ago I met an old friend. I hadn't seen her for a long time, so we had a lot to talk about. Somehow we began discussing social news.

2. Recently, there have been several high-profile cases of elderly people who collapsed or suffered accidents in public spaces, who then sued the good Samaritans who tried to help them.

解析：

high-profile

UK[ˌhaɪ'prəʊ.faɪl]US[-'proʊ-]adjective[before noun]

ADVANCED

■attracting a lot of attention and interest from the public and newpapers, television, etc引人注目的，备受关注的

•high-profile politicians备受关注的政治家

•He resigned from a high-profile job as economic adviser to the Prime Minister.他辞去了首相的财经顾问这备受瞩目的职位元。

collapse

[kə'læps]verb

FALL倒下

IMPROVERintransitive

■to fall down suddenly because of pressure or having no strength or support（由于压力、无力或缺乏支持而）倒塌，坍塌，崩溃，垮掉

•Thousands of buildings collapsed in the earthquake.数以千计的建筑物在地震中倒塌了。

•The chair collapsed under her weight.椅子承受不了她的重量散架了。

•figurative He thought his whole world had collapsed when his wife died.妻子去世后他觉得自己的整个世界都坍塌了。

学生译文：There are some high-profile cases in recent years, which about the elderly collapse suddenly in public place and some good Samaritans help them but end up being sued.

good Sa∙mar∙itans

◙noun[pl.]

• a British charity that offers help to people who are very depressed and in danger of killing themselves, by providing a phone number that they can ring in order to talk to sb

• 撒玛利亚会(英国慈善团体,为严重抑郁和想自杀的人提供热线电话谈心服务)

n a person who voluntarily offers help or sympathy in times of trouble

点评：时态上，这些事情已经发生并对现在人们的行事方式造成了影响，所以使用现在完成时there have been，后面的内容用过去式。public place应该改为public places。collapse后面无需suddenly，语义重复。

修改版本：There have been some high-profile cases in recent years of the elderly who collapsed or suffered accidents in public places. Some good Samaritans helped them but ended up being sued.

学生译文：It’s not because people become cold-hearted, but because they really worry about that raising a helping hand will only bring them lawsuits and personal economic losses.

点评：become应该改为have become；worry about后面不能加that从句，应该改为worry that；economic应该改为financial；raising a helping hand应该改为更常见的说法giving/lending a helping hand。

修改版本：It’s not because people have become cold-hearted, but because they really worry that raising a helping hand will only bring them lawsuits and personal financial losses.可数

点评：没有ask someone something这个搭配。应该是I asked for my friend’s advice，或者是I asked my friend for her advice。this scenario应该改为such scenarios；"Don't ask for trouble." 需要独立成句。

修改版本：I asked my friend for her advice for such scenarios, and her answer was to stay away. "Don't ask for trouble," she said.

点评：we can的can去掉。everyday应该改为every day；but if后面应该加从句，所以thinking carefully应该改为you think carefully；整个句子的逻辑需要调整。 人称的变化要非常谨慎。原句说“我们似乎每天都听说”，使用we，表示普遍的现象，然后说if you think carefully，是在引发读者的思考，后半句so后面用there be句型，表示“你我”都不应该过于pessimistic，而学生译文中人称的变化逻辑混乱。

修改版本：It seems that we hear such cases every day, but if you think carefully, it’s because constant media exposure makes us feel this way, so there is no reason to be too pessimistic.

学生译文：You can say that my friend's advice can help you stay clear of trouble in the short term, but in the long term, it would do potential harm to the whole society and victimize everyone in the end.

点评：第一个can改为may。it would do应该改为it does，因为这种做法现在就正在对社会造成危害，而且还将继续造成。the whole society应该改为society as a whole，更为常用；victimize everyone应该改为everyone will be victimized，因为前者的主语是advice，不符合实际。实际上，如果每个人都这么做，才会让每个人都变成受害者，用被动语态施动者可以不出现。

修改版本：You may say that my friend's advice can help you stay clear of trouble in the short term, but in the long term, it does potential harm to society as a whole and everyone will be victimized in the end.

■spiritual

这个形容词同中文“精神方面的”不完全相等，比较接近于宗教上的含义。因此，“精神文明”译成spiritual civilization就不大妥当，可以采取了几个“拐弯”的译法，如：cultural and ideological progress; culture and ideology; culture and ethics，但是同“物质文明”并列使用时，还是只好勉强用spiritual civilization（也有人认为civilization是个整体，不可以分成两类，因而主张用spiritual aspect of civilization）。“精神准备”是mental(*spiritual) preparedness。“精神生活”是cultural(intellectual) life。“精神世界”是inner(mental) world。“精神鼓励”是moral encouragement。“精神产品”是intellectual product。法律上的“精神损失赔偿”是emotional damages

need

Don't say 'a/the need of sth', say a/the need for sth:

✗I cannot see the need of a new supermarket.I cannot see the need for a new supermarket.

Don't say 'in need for sth', say in need of sth:

✗This town is in need for a new supermarket.This town is in need of a new supermarket.

学生译文：The most fundamental function teachers have is passing on knowledge, which could be replaced by computer, or aided by computer.

点评：说老师的function，不如用role。fundamental最好是改为basic，因为fundamental有一个意思是more important than anything else。这篇文章显然不是把pass on knowledge作为老师最重要的职能，而是最基本、最基础的职能。后半部分进行一个合并，computer改为computers。

修改版本：The most basic role of teachers is pass on knowledge, which could be replaced or aided by computers.

7.Jaime Escalante was a Bolivian high school teacher known for his ability to turn out high-achieving calculus students from a poor Hispanic neighborhood in East Los Angeles.

解析：

turn out

5.PHRASAL VERB短语动词生产;制造If a business or other organization turns out something, it produces it.

【语法信息】：V P n (not pron)

【语法信息】：Also V n P

.•They have been turning out great blades for 400 years.他们生产优质刀片已经有400年历史了。

学生译文：Jamie Escalante is a high school teacher from Bolivia, turns out to be famous because he helped his students, who are from a poverty-stricken Hispanic residential community in East Los Angeles, get high-achieving scores of Calculus.

点评：整体表达比较啰嗦，共用36 words，原句为27 words。首先，整个时态应该使用过去式。turn out在句中的意思是“大量培养”，使用有误。黏连句的情况依然严重。 residential community应该改为neighborhood。

修改版本：Jamie Escalante, a high school teacher from Bolivia, was famous because he helped his students from a poor Hispanic neighborhood in East Los Angeles get high scores in calculus.

9. But he turned things around by offering AP Calculus classes to a few students who would listen to him and managed to help those poor kids get into prestigious universities like Yale and Columbia.

学生译文：His classroom is playing rock music at full blast, remote-controlled toys and Magic all bring into play.

点评：时态应该用过去式。不要用classroom做主语。魔术不能直接用magic，而应该改为magic tricks，也就是魔术小把戏；bring into play应该改为were brought into play。

修改版本：In his classroom, rock’n’roll records played at full blast, remote-controlled toys and magic tricks were all brought into play.

worst

UK[wɜ:st]US[wɝ:st]nounonly singular

at your worst

■less active or intelligent than you are at other times状态最差

■showing the most unpleasant side of someone's character表现出最坏的品质，显出最丑陋的一面

•This problem over late payment has shown him at his worst.这次拖延付款的问题使他原形毕露。

学生译文：Teachers make students laugh, encourage their academic passion, and make them keep faith in the future.

点评：make应该改为help；future在句中是一个可数名词，表示前途，所以in the future应该改为in their futures。

修改版本：Teachers make students laugh, encourage their academic passion, and help them keep faith in their futures.

3.at best

even when considered in the most positive way

•The food was bland at best, and at worst completely inedible.

4.at its best

13. 不以金钱作为这种行为的衡量标准，他们的贡献对己对人都似乎更加无价。(measurement, invaluable)

13.Without money as a measurement for such deeds, their contributions seem to be more invaluable both to them and to others.

13. Not using money as measurement for this behavior seems to make their contribution more invaluable to others and to themselves.

13翻译先挑出中文的主句，再把别的乱七八糟成分添上去 。这里主句是后半句“贡献更加无价”，前半句是个状语不是主语

3.except

也可以用作并列连词，相当于but，但是意思往往表示前一句的内容遇到障碍或限制（有点像“夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏”中的“只是”，此时后一句的语气没有用but那样重 ），例如：I like this car very much, except I don't have enough money. 这辆车我很喜欢，只是我的钱不够。

4.except与except for的区别是：except是同类事物中除去例外；except for是大范围中除去小类事物作为例外。【例如】Everybody was invited except me. 除了我，人人都获得了邀请（me属于everybody之中）。/ Except for one old lady, the bus was empty. 除了有一位老太太之外，公共汽车是空的（bus是大范围，one old lady是小类事物）。/ The wooden part, black except for a few scattered electric carbon arc lights, came into view. 木质部分，除了有一些零星的电碳弧灯，一片漆黑，此时进入了视线。/ The classroom was silent, except for the busy scratching of pens on paper. 课堂很安静，只有笔在纸上忙碌划擦的声音。/ The office will be empty over Christmas except for the boss and me. 圣诞节期间办公室没人，只剩下头头和我。/ Except for emergencies I have found it easier not to expect any help from my children. 除非遇到紧急情况，我已经认识到，不期待我的孩子们来帮忙，就更加方便一些。

通常，一个问题解决之时，另一个问题就出现了。(the ultimate solution, the moment)

13.If we think technology isthe ultimate solution, that is naïve. More often than not,the momentone problem is solved, another problem appears.

Coke 可乐

hamburger是牛肉汉堡，cheeseburger 

除了套餐还要外加一个中薯条

2. 这一切都是从点餐开始的。当时我正在一个外国人身后排队，他说着结结巴巴的中文，似乎很难点他想要的东西，所以我主动提出帮助。(ordering, line up, have a hard time, broken Chinese)

2.It all started with the ordering. I was lining up behind a foreigner who seemed to be having a hard time getting what he wanted with his broken Chinese, so I offered to help.

可供替换的表达：the way society functions

学生错误表达：

（1）society   runs

点评：“社会运转”不能写成society runs，因为当run取“运转”含义时是及物动词，我们可以说He runs a company.但不能说The company runs.

1.……的一个重要作用One of the important functions of:

2.为学生走向社会和工作岗位的平稳过渡做好准备prepare students for a smooth transition into society and the workplace:

不符合中国人心理习惯的，是prepare作为及物动词，以人作为宾语，而且后面通常加上for something。中文的“准备”无论如何不能以人当作宾语，遇到这样的英文，有时候译成中文也有点别扭。例如：Our teacher is preparing us for the exam要绕个弯译成“我们老师正在帮助我们准备考试”甚至“我们老师正在督促我们准备考试”。作为及物动词的prepare还可以有反身代词。【例如】I've been preparing myself for the interview. 我一直在准备面试。/ The doctor had told him to prepare himself for surgery. 医生已经叫他准备动手术。Prepare somebody for something中的something往往有“突如其来的不利事件”的意思，所以这里的prepare就有“给某人打个底子，做好精神准备，以免一下子打击太大”的含义。【例如】Prepare yourself for a shock. 做好大吃一惊的精神准备。/ Problems sometimes arise for mothers who have suddenly taken on full-time work without preparing their children. 有些做母亲的，事先没有给孩子做好思想准备，就干起全天的工作，这样的母亲，有时候会遇到难题。/ The children have been well prepared for their father's death. 孩子们对于父亲的去世，已经早有思想准备。有时候加上一个mentally来修饰prepare，但是没有mentally其实也是指“思想准备”。

3.阻碍学生……deny students access to:

deny可以有直接和间接宾语。可以deny + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语，也可以deny + 直接宾语 + to + 间接宾语。意思是“拒绝给予某人以某物”。【例如】He denies his son nothing (He denies nothing to his son). 他对儿子是有求必应。/ The government exploited their labour while denying them social equality. 政府剥削他们的劳动，同时又不给他们社会平等地位。/He has also denied you access to some information.他还拒绝了让你接触某些信息。/ The governor has denied clemency to the gang leader. 州长拒绝了宽恕那个团伙头目。既然是“拒绝”，也就有了否定的意义（此时deny就转为表示状态的延续动词，即第一类动词）。【例如】The windows (of the car) were coated with dark plastic, which denied the casual onlooker（间接宾语）the sight（直接宾语）of the people inside. 车子的窗蒙上了暗色的塑料膜，路人偶然张望也看不见车里的人。

可以接受高等教育，也就是有渠道去。。。其他，医保，户籍等等公共福利制度同样可以用Access

1.作为形容词，组成to be subject to时，有“遭受”、“蒙受”的意义，但又可以分为三个略微不同的含义。

第一个是事实上业已“遭受”、“蒙受”。【例如】Here you'll besubjectto outside noises. 你在这里将会受到外界噪音的干扰。/ Each parent is allowed to give a child up to $12,000 a year before it issubjectto gift tax. (US News & World Report, Dec. 24, 2007, p. 55) 父母每人可以一年赠与一个儿女一万二千美元而不用缴纳馈赠税。

第二个是“（按照规定）必须经过（某一环节或程序）（但尚未经过，结果也未知）”。【例如】The project issubjectto the director's approval. 方案有待所长批准。

第三个是“（按照规定）有可能被施加（某一措施）（但尚未施加，也可能实际上不施加，这个程序不是肯定一律必须实施的）”。【例如】All letters are subject to editing for length, style and fairness. （报纸的“读者来信”处理办法有这么一项）所有来信都可能经过编辑整理，做到长度适当、文笔通顺、待遇公平（有些信件就可能一字不易照登）。/ All hand baggage issubjectto search. 所有手提行李都可以受到检查（实际上只是抽查一部分）。/ Before that "special counsels"—who were selected by, answerable to, andsubjectto being fired or financially hamstrung by the attorney general—were the norm. (The Atlantic Monthly, Nov. 2005, p. 44)在此之前，惯例是任命一些“特别稽查员”，他们是由司法部长挑选、对他负责、可以被他所解职或是被他在经费上卡住的（subject to只是“可以解职”，不是“一定解职”）。参见carry条。

2.作为名词，subject很常用的一个词义，就是“题目”、“主题”，但是意义扩大，就可以表示“谈论的对象”，再进一步扩大，就可以是某一行动的“对象”，接近它的对立面object，结果subject和object就合流了。【例如】His behavior is a subject of much controversy. 他的行为招到很多争议。其他一些语言，在这个场合就用相当于object的名词。但是英文也常常用object而不用subject来表示“对象”，尤其是内心情绪的对象。【例如】He was now theobjectof all their rage and frustration. 他现在成了他们一股脑儿发怒和懊恼的对象。/ This is theobjectof his obsession. 这是他入迷的对象。
