问题     Fatigue is one of the most common complaints brought to doctors, friends, and relatives. You’d think in this era of labor-saving and convenient transportation that few people would have reason to be so tired. The causes of modern-day fatigue are diverse and only rarely related to excessive physical exertion. Today, physicians report, tiredness is more likely a consequence of underexercise than of wearing yourself down with overactivity.
    Physical fatigue is the well-known result of overworking your muscles. (46)Physical fatigue is usually a pleasant tiredness, such as that which you might experience after playing a hard set of tennis, chopping wood, or climbing a mountain. The cure is simple and fast: You rest, giving your body a chance to get rid of accumulated waste and restore muscle fuel.
    (47)Illness induced fatigue is a warning sign or consequence of some underlying physical disorder, perhaps the common cold or flu or something more serious like cancer, while other symptoms are present that often suggest the true cause. Even after an illness passed, you’re likely to feel dragged out for a week or more. (48)Take your fatigue as a signal to go slow while your body has a chance to recover fully even if all you had was a cold. Pushing yourself to resume full activity too soon will certainly prolong your period of fatigue.
    Emotional problems and conflicts, especially depression and anxiety, are by far the most common causes of prolonged fatigue. When such feelings are not expressed openly, they often come out as physical symptoms, with fatigue as one of the most common manifestations. (49)Understanding the underlying emotional problem is the crucial first step toward curing psychological fatigue and by itself often results in considerable lessening of the tiredness. Professional psychological help or career or marriage counseling may be needed.
    There is a great deal you can do on your own to deal with both severe prolonged fatigue and those periodic washed-out feelings. You might try to do moderate exercise. (50)Contrary to what you may think, exercise enhances, rather than drains, energy and helps you to resist fatigue by increasing your body’s ability to handle more of a workload. At the end of a day exercise can relieve accumulated tensions, give you more energy in the evening, and help you sleep more restfully.


选项

答案与你想象的相反,体育锻炼并不消耗体力,反而会增强体力,而且还能增强身体承受工作负荷的能力,从而抵制疲劳感。

解析 此题目的英语句子不难理解,而翻译起来却有一定难度。如果把后面的方式状语by increasing your body’s ability to handle more of a workload逐字翻译成方式状语"(体育锻炼)通过增强承受工作负荷的能力,有助于你抵制疲劳感",那么,把这个方式状语放在句子的什么位置就成了棘手的问题。因此,不妨把它翻译成主语"体育锻炼"的谓语,把它升级为句子的主要成分,从而使汉语句子更加紧凑。考查点:方式状语的翻译。
