问题 如何充分利用上大学的时间
——1986年英译汉及详解
It would be interesting to discover how many young people go to university without any clear idea of what they are going to do afterwards.【F1】If one considers the enormous variety of courses offered, it is not hard to see how difficult it is for a student to select the course most suited to his interests and abilities.【F2】If a student goes to university to acquire a broader perspective of life, to enlarge his ideas and to learn to think for himself, he will undoubtedly benefit.【F3】Schools often have too restricting an atmosphere, with its time tables and disciplines, to allow him much time for independent assessment of the work he is asked to do.【F4】Most students would, I believe, profit by a year of such exploration of different academic studies, especially those "all rounders" with no particular interest. They should have longer time to decide in what subject they want to take their degrees, so that in later life, they do not look back and say, "I should like to have been an archaeologist. If I hadn’t taken a degree in Modern Languages, I shouldn’t have ended up as an interpreter, but it’s too late now. I couldn’t go back and begin all over again."
【F5】There is, of course, another side to the question of how to make the best use of one’s time at university.【F6】This is the case of the student who excels in a particular branch of learning.【F7】He is immediately accepted by the University of his choice, and spends his three or four years becoming a specialist, emerging with a first-class Honour Degree and very little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about.【F8】It therefore becomes more and more important that, if students are not to waste their opportunities, there will have to be much more detailed information about courses and more advice. Only in this way can we be sure that we are not to have, on the one hand, a band of specialists ignorant of anything outside of their own subject, and on the other hand, an ever increasing number of graduates qualified in subjects for which there is little or no demand in the working world.
【F4】

选项

答案我认为大多数学生,尤其是那些不偏重于某一个课程的“全面发展的学生”,经过一年左右的时间对各门不同学科的钻研,将会从中获益。

解析 本句考查的重点是:宾语从句和介词短语的译法。 exploration意为“探测,探索”,这里根据与academic studies的搭配,译为“钻研”;all rounder意为“多面手”,根据上下文译为“全面发展的学生”。该句的插入语部分I believe可放在句子最前面,从而看成“主谓句+宾语从句”的句型,译为:我认为…。宾语从句的主干是Most students would profit by…,介词短语by a year of…studies做方式状语,修饰profit,译为“通过/经过…”。句末especially those…是从句主语的补语,翻译时可提前跟在主语后。
