Question

帮忙翻译一句话 然后选择答案

M: Hey, Karen, it looks like you’ve got some sun this weekend.
W: Yeah, I guess so. I spend the weekend at the beach.
M: Oh, yeah, that’s great. Where did you stay?
W: Some friends of my parents’ live out there and they invited me for as long as I wanted to stay.
M: So what are you doing back here already?
W: Oh, I have a paper to work on, and I just couldn’t do any serious studying at the beach.
M: I don’t blame you. So what did you do out there? I mean besides lying out in the sun.
W: I ran slowly up and down the beach, and I played some volleyball. You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand.
I couldn’t even get through a whole game before I had to sit down.
M: Did you go swimming?
W: I wanted to, but they said the weather isn’t warm enough for that until a couple of months from now.
M: It all sounds nice. I wish I could get away to the beach like that.

这几句话怎么理解呢？“Oh, I have a paper to work on, and I just couldn’t do any serious studying at the beach”“I ran slowly up and down the beach, and I played some volleyball. You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand. I couldn’t even get through a whole game before I had to sit down.”
12. What do we know about the woman?
A. She likes studying by the quiet sea.
B. She takes her study seriously.
C. She often takes exercises at the beach.
为什么选择B ？ C为什么不行呢？

Answer 1

Oh, I have a paper to work on, and I just couldn’t do any serious studying at the beach
噢，我有个论文要写，但我在沙滩上就没法认真学习。
I ran slowly up and down the beach, and I played some volleyball.
我在沙滩上艰难地来回跑，玩儿了会儿排球。（这里slowly是表示在沙滩上跑步很难，所以很慢，如果直译的话会很别扭）
You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand.
你看我从来没意识到在沙子上跑竟然这么难。（You know 也可以直译成 你知道 但不符合我们的用语习惯）
I couldn’t even get through a whole game before I had to sit down.
我甚至不能一次都不跌倒地打完一场比赛。（直译是 在我不得不坐下之前我甚至不能完成一场比赛 这里是一种惯用的句式 couldn't even... before...）

题选B 因为那句 Oh, I have a paper to work on, and I just couldn’t do any serious studying at the beach
就说明了这个人对学习很认真
C说 她经常在沙滩上锻炼 用的一般现在时 明显错在了often 上 她这一次只是去度假了~~~ 她并不是总在沙滩上锻炼

Answer 2

1.噢，我有篇论文要写，但在沙滩上我没法进行认真的研究。
2.我在沙滩上慢慢地来回跑，打了会儿排球。
3.你知道我从没意识到在沙子上跑有多难。我根本进行完一场比赛就不得不坐下来了。

I just couldn’t do any serious studying at the beach告诉我们A错了。B是对的。文章压根没告诉你the woman经常去海滩锻炼，当然不能选。
相信你能理解赞同吧！祝你进步！

Answer 3

You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand.我以前一直不知道在沙滩上跑是多么的困难。说明他以前不经常在海边锻炼。
