Part D
Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET.
During the traditional wedding ceremony, the bride and the bridegroom promise each other lifelong devotion. Yet, about one out of four American marriages ends in divorce.56) Since 1940,the divorce rate has more than doubled, and experts predict that, of all marriages that occurred in the 1970s, about 50% will end in divorce. The U. S. A. has one of the highest divorce rates in the world, perhaps even the highest.
What goes wrong? 57)The fact that divorce is so common in the United States does not mean that Americans consider marriage a casual, unimportant relationship. Just the opposite is true. Americans expect a great deal from marriage. They seek physical, emotional, and intellectual compatibility. They want to be deeply loved and understood. It is because Americans expect so much from marriage that so many get divorced. They prefer no marriage at all to a marriage without love and understanding. With typical American optimism, they end one marriage in hope that the next will be happier. With no-fault divorce laws in many states, it is easier than ever to get a divorce.
58) Some American women stay in unhappy marriages because they don' t have the education or job experience to support themselves and their children, but most American women believe that, if necessary, they can make it alone without a husband. All things considered, Americans have little reason to continue an unhappy marriage.
Which marriages are most likely to end in divorce? Marriages between people with low incomes or limited education and marriages between teenagers are at greatest risk. The number of divorces between couples with children under the age of 18 is declining, and almost 45% of divorcing couples are childless.
59) When a couple gets divorced, the court may require the man to pay his former wife a monthly, sum of money, which depends on the husband' s income, the wife' s needs, and the length of the marriage. If the woman is working and earns a good salary, she may receive no money at all. Occasionally, the court decides that a woman should pay her husband money. About 10% of American women out-earn their husbands.60)If the woman has totally supported her husband during the marriage, the court may decide that she must continue to support him after the divorce, which is a rather new concept in the United States.
part D
56.【譯文】自1%0年以來(lái)，離婚率增長(zhǎng)了一倍還多，專家預(yù)言，20世紀(jì)70年代的婚姻中，約有50%會(huì)以離婚告終。
【解題要點(diǎn)】本句應(yīng)注意時(shí)態(tài)，前半句是完成時(shí)，后半句是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，翻譯的時(shí)候要分別譯出其時(shí)態(tài)。
57.【譯文】離婚在美國(guó)司空見慣并不意味著美國(guó)人視婚姻為兒戲。
58.【解題要點(diǎn)】這里有一個(gè)主語(yǔ)從句，the fact后引導(dǎo)的從句內(nèi)容是整句話的主語(yǔ)，the fact的字面意思可以不譯，直接譯出其引導(dǎo)內(nèi)容即可。
58.【譯文】有些美國(guó)婦女之所以忍受不幸福的婚姻，是因?yàn)樗齻儧](méi)有受過(guò)教育或是沒(méi)有工作經(jīng)歷，無(wú)法養(yǎng)活自己和孩子，但大多數(shù)美國(guó)婦女相信，沒(méi)有丈夫她們獨(dú)自一人也能解決自己和孩子的生活問(wèn)題。
【解題要點(diǎn)】整個(gè)句子是一個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折句中套了個(gè)原因狀語(yǔ)從句。make it 有很多含義，主要是指“做成了一件事，達(dá)成了某個(gè)目的，或按時(shí)趕 到”，這里具體譯為“解決自己和孩子的生活問(wèn)題”。
59.【譯文】夫婦離婚時(shí)，法庭會(huì)要求男方每月付給前妻一筆錢，其金額依丈夫的收入，妻子的需要和婚姻時(shí)問(wèn)長(zhǎng)短而定。
【解題要點(diǎn)】which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，代指sum of money。
60.【譯文】如果妻子在婚姻期間一直完全供養(yǎng)丈夫，法庭可能裁定離婚后女方必須繼續(xù)供養(yǎng)丈夫，這在美國(guó)是一個(gè)相當(dāng)新的觀念。
【解題要點(diǎn)】which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，代指之前整句話的描述，可以譯成“這”。
