问题     The translator must have an excellent, up-to-date knowledge of his【C1】______languages, full facility in the handling of his target language, which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual use, and knowledge and understanding of the【C2】______subject-matter in his field of specialization. This is, as it were, his professional equipment. In addition to this, it is desirable that he should have an【C3】______ mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to grasp quickly the basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work on his own, often at high speeds, but should be humble enough to【C4】______others should his own knowledge not always prove adequate to the task in hand. He should be able to type fairly quickly and accurately and, if he is working mainly for publication, should have more than a nodding【C5】______with printing techniques and proof-reading. If he is working basically as an information translator, let us say, for an industrial firm, he should have the flexibility of mind to enable him to【C6】______rapidly from one source language to another, as well as from one subject-matter to another, since this ability is frequently required of him in such work. Bearing in mind the nature of the translator’s work, i.e. the processing of the written word, it is, strictly speaking, 【C7】______that he should be able to speak the languages he is dealing with. If he does speak them, it is an【C8】______rather than a hindrance, but this skill is in many ways a luxury that he can do away with. It is, however, desirable that he should have an approximate idea about the pronunciation of his source languages even if this is restricted to【C9】______how proper names and place names are pronounced. The same applies to an ability to write his source languages. If he can, well and good; if he cannot, it does not matter. There are many other skills and【C10】______that are desirable in a translator.
【C3】

选项 A、inquiring
B、dilator
C、resourceful
D、ingenious

答案A

解析 考查词义辨析。inquiring“好问的,爱探索的”,dilator“扩张器”,resourceful“机敏的,足智多谋的”,ingenious“新颖独特的,巧妙的”。修饰mind(心),且前面用的是不定冠词an,故A项最为恰当,意为“有探索之心,爱动脑子”。
