MBA考试英译汉试题中重要短语及句型五
作者:佚名   来源:网络  日期:2009-3-3 16:23:32  点击数:2199
not nearly (=by no means,far from) 远不
  例1: The food supply will not increase nearly enough to match this, which means that we are heading into a crisis in the matter of producing and marketing food.考试大
  译文:食品供应将远远赶不上人口的增长,这就意味着我们在粮食的生产和购销方面正面临危机。
  注:1) this是指上面提到的“到21世纪初世界人口将增加到60亿或70亿”。2) 又如:There are not nearly enough people here to do the job.(这里的人手远远不够承担这项工作。)
  “更不用说”的表示法:
  much less
  still less
  以上两短语引导的词组或从句,表示一种追加的否定,less是由little的比较级,所以这两个词组只能用于否定句中,可译为“更不用说,更不必说”。
  to say nothing of
  not to speak of
  not to mention
  let alone
  这四个词组也意为 “更不用说”,也是一种追补的说法。但它们与much less和still less有所不同。这些词组可以随前一句的意思而定,即前一句是肯定,则追加的也是肯定意义;如果前一句是否定,则追加的是否定意义
  例1:I could not agree to, much less participate in such proceedings.
  译文:我不能同意这种行为,更谈不上参加这些行动了。
  例2:He knows little of mathematics, and still less of chemistry.
  译文:他几乎不懂数学,更不用说化学了。
  例3:I did not even see him, still less (= much less) shake hands with him.
  译文:我看也没有看见过他,哪里还谈得上同他握手呢?
  例4:In old China, here was hardly any machine-building industry, to say nothing of an electronic industry.
  译文:在旧中国,几乎没有什么机器制造工业,更不用说电子工业了。
  例5:Sally takes singing and dancing lessons, to say nothing of swimming and tennis lessons.
  译文:莎莉学了唱歌和舞蹈课,而且还学了游泳和网球课。
  例6:At that time they could not afford the ordinary comforts of life, not to speak of luxuries.
  译文:那时他连普通生活都不能维持,更不要说奢侈品了。
  例7:They have three fine sons, not to speak of their two 1ovely daughters.
  译文:他们有了三个好儿子,而且还有两个可爱的女儿。
  例8:I don't know algebra or geometry,not to mention calculus.
  译文:我连代数、几何都不懂,更不必说微积分了。
  例9:A11 they have to do is press a button,and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind, not to mention political discussions and the latest exciting football match.
  译文:他们所要做的只是按一下电钮,就能看到各种戏剧、电影、歌剧和各式各样的演出,而且还能看到各种政治辩论和最近举行的激动人心的足球赛。
  例10:I can't add two and two, let alone do fractions.
  译文:我连2加2都不会,更不要说做分数题了。
  注意:美国成语词典认为let alone只能用于追加的否定。但是,有的词典认为,该短语也可以引导追加的肯定。例如:There were five people in the car, let alone the luggage and the two dogs
