87.__________________(为了确认他参加会议)，I called him up in advance.【考点分析】本题考查的是动词ensure的用法，大家只要用对了这个单词，配合动词不定式使用，翻译方法可以很灵活，答案可以多样化。

【参考答案】 To ensure that he attends the meeting;In order to ensure he attends the meeting;To ensure his attending the meeting.88.The magnificent museum _______________(据说建成于)about a hundred years ago.【考点分析】本题考查的是“据说”这个结构：be said to be / be said as;另外要注意时态的准确性，由于是一百年前已经建成，所以要用不定式的完成结构。

【参考答案】 is said to have been built

89.There would be no life on earth _______________(没有地球独特的环境)。

【考点分析】本题考查了分词短语作状语的结构，还考查了词汇“独特”的表达方法，对于这个词，多数同学选用的是special，是可以的，但是针对于题目要求来说，不是特别贴切，最好使用unique。把握了这两点，本题也可以有多种翻译方法。

【参考答案】without the unique environment of earth;without the unique earth environment

90._______________(给游客印象最深的)was the friendliness and warmth of the local people.【考点分析】本题考查的是主语从句的内容，要注意主语从句的引导词的使用。当然，本句虽然明显希望同学们使用主语从句，但是我们也可以使用别的方式来翻译，即短语的形式。

【参考答案】What impressed the tourists most;The most impressive to the tourists

91.They requested that ______________(我借的的书还回图书馆)by next Friday.【考点分析】本题考查的是request后面加从句需使用虚拟语气的用法。Request后的虚拟语气是用should 加动词原形来表达的，should可以省略。本句同时还需注意时态和单复数形式的正确使用。

【参考答案】I(should)return the books I borrowed to the library 11年06月

解析：该 句比较灵活，在句法上，既可以使用强调句结构，也可以采用turn out的惯用搭配；在“接电话”的表达上，可以用pick up / answer the phone。强调句结构为it be sb.who do sth.,而turn out变化则较多，可以用turn out to be sb.who do sth.或者turn out + that + 从句。

91.Although he was interested in philosophy, his father persuaded him into / talked him into（他的父亲说服他）majoring in law.解析：本题考察“说服某人做某事”的表达，persuade / talk sb.into doing sth.整体评价：今年6月的翻译题难度适中，89和91题的词组搭配是拿分题，而87题的倒装结构和88题的虚拟语气用法也是广大四级考生的“老朋友”，不熟悉实在说不过去~ 答案：

87.and didn’t explain the reasons either 88.could be assigned to do another job 89.at the risk of his own life 90.turned out to be his assistant 91.his father talked him into

中国应进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2%。该比例在所有核国家中居30位，几乎是最低的。

2011年3月日本核电站事故后，中国的核能开发停了下来，中止审批新的核电站，并开展全国性的核安全检查。到2012年10月，审批才又谨慎地恢复。

随着技术和安全措施的改进，发生核事故的可能性完全可以降到最低程度。换句话说，核能是可以安全开发和利用的。

China should further develop nuclear energy, because nuclear power currently accounts for only 2% of its total generating capacity.The proportion ranks the 30th among all countries possessing nuclear energy, which is almost the lowest.China’s nuclear power development stopped after the nuclear power station accident in Japan in March, 2011.The approval of new nuclear power plants was suspended, and the nationwide nuclear energy safety inspection started.It wasn’t until October, 2012 was examine and approval restored cautiously.With the improvement of technology and safety measures, the possibility of nuclear accidents can definitely be minimized.In other words, the nuclear energy can be exploited and utilized safely.2014年6月 大学英语四级考试真题（第二套）
