2007年12月四级B卷翻译部分答案及点评
87. Owing to (或 thanks to) a series of new inventions (多亏了一系列的新发明），doctors can treat this disease successfully.
此句翻译的关键是“多亏了”这个短语，翻译成thanks to 或owing to 要比 because of 或due to 好得多。
88.In my sixties, one change I notice is that I am apt to 或 inclined to be more easily tired than before(我比以前更容易累了)。
此句中翻译比较结构不是难点，大家应该都能翻，但是如果把这句简单翻译成 I feel more easily tired 得分应该不会太高。
89. I am going to pursue this course, no matter whatever sacrifices I will make (无论我要作出什么样的牺牲）.
此句的难点在于“无论”的翻译，no matter whatever 是重点。
90. I would prefer shopping online to shopping in a department store because the latter is more convenient and time-saving (它更加方便和省时）.
注意开始的“它”如果简单翻译成“it”会有指代不清的嫌疑，而改用the latter（后者）会更好一些。另外要注意convenient一词的拼写！
91.Many Americans live on credit, and their quality of life is weighed upon how much they can borrow (是用他们能够借道多少来衡量的）, not how much they can earn.
