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
答案即便你只是得到一场感冒，你也应当把这种疲劳看作是一个提醒你悠着点儿的信号，以便让身体有机会完全恢复。
解析 此题目中的第一句话较长，也较难翻译，其中时间状语从句while your body has a chance to recover fully和动词短语go slow是重点。首先要正确理解动词短语go slow。这个短语字面意思是"慢些走"或"动作慢一些"，其引申义是"不要急于做什么"。因此，翻译成"悠着点"非常恰当。正确理解了动词短语go slow，那么，时间状语从句从语义也可以看作是目的状语从句，因此，翻译成"以便让身体有机会完全恢复"。另外，泽文中加了动词"提醒"以与名词"信号"搭配。考查点：动词短语go slow的理解和对其引申义的翻译。
