That is, as it【C4】______, his professional equipment. 【C5】______this, it is desirable that he should have an【C6】______mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to grasp quickly the basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work【C7】______ his own, often at high speeds, but should be humble enough to consult others【C8】______his own knowledge not always prove adequate to the task【C9】______. He should be able to type fairly quickly and accurately and, if he is working mainly for publication, should have more than a nodding【C10】______with printing techniques and proof-reading.

Bearing in mind the nature of the translator’s work. i.e. the processing of the written word, it is, strictly speaking, 【C13】______that he should be able to speak the languages he is dealing with.

It is, 【C16】______, desirable that he should have an approximate idea about the pronunciation of his source languages even if this is restricted to【C17】______how proper names and place names are pronounced. The same 【C18】______ to an ability to write his source languages. If he cannot, it does not【C19】______. There are many other skills and【C20】______that are desirable in a translator.
【C9】
选项 A、in hand
B、off hand
C、at hand
D、by hand
答案A
解析 考查介词短语辨析。A．in hand“手头的，(工作)在进行(讨论、研究、办理)之中的，在掌握(控制)中的，”此处修饰the task，表示“手头的任务”。故为正确答案。没有off hand之说，off one’s hands“不再由某人负责”；at hand“近在手边，供使用，即将到来，被考虑中”；by hand“用手(与机器相对)，用体力”。
