新东方2008年6月六级考试翻译点评

82. We can say a lot of things about those who dedicate/ devote/ contribute their whole life to poems（毕生致力于诗歌的人）; they are passionate, impulsive, and unique.

语法点主要考察考生熟悉的定语从句，这个一般考生不会出错。主要考察“致力于”这个单词的表达，可供选择的单词有不少，关键是要注意固定搭配的介词是to。

83. Mary couldn’t have received my letter, otherwise, she would have replied to me last week.（否则她上周就该回信了）。

这道题与07年12月一样考到的也是含蓄条件句。含蓄条件句指的是有时假设的情况并不以条件从句的形式表现出来，而是通过某个介词或介词短语（如：otherwise， without， but for， in case of ）、上下文或其它方式表现出来。07-12-82 But for mobile phones, our communication would not have been so efficient and convenient. (我们的通信就不可能如此迅速和方便).这次六级考试仍旧延续了一道虚拟，一道倒装结构的出题方式，下面的85题就是倒装结构。

84. Nancy is supposed to have finished the chemical experiments（做完化学实验）at least two weeks ago.

考生主要注意to后面用have done的形式，因为后面有给时间状语 at least two weeks ago，说明动作已经完成。

85. Never once did the old couple quarrel with each other (老两口互相争吵) since they were married 40 years ago.

否定前置的倒装一直是四六级考试当中的重点，这次又是四六级中各一道。否定词如never, seldom, scarcely, little, few, not, hardly居于句首时往往引起半倒装，助动词提前。

86. To a great extent ,the future prosperity of a country depends on（一个国家未来的繁荣在很大程度上有赖于）the quality of education of its people.

07年12月六级85题. Human behavior is mostly a product of learning, while animal behavior depends mainly on their instinct(s). (而动物的行为主要依靠本能).

这里的“依赖、依靠”考生应该已经学会表达。另一个重点是“在很大程度”上的表达，在以前的老四级的词汇单选题中，至少考过三次to some extent表示“在某种程度上”，这里只需稍微变换一下，看来四六级还是息息相关的，大家在备考六级的同事不要忘记复习四级考点。
