Question

17．这本书在出版不久之后就获得了巨大的成功．
The bookwas a great success shortly afteritwas published．

Answer 1

分析 was a great success shortly after；  was published

解答 答案：was a great success shortly after；was published
根据汉语意思并结合语境可知，该句是一个含有时间状语从句的复合句，描述的是过去发生的动作，故时态为一般过去时，主句中缺少"获得了巨大的成功"的翻译其英文表达为"be a great success"根据主句的主语为the book为单数，故动词be用was，故译为was a great success，根据句意"在出版不久之后"可知时间状语从句的连接词为after"在…之后"又知从句的主语it代指the book是谓语动词"出版"publish的承受者，二者形成被动关系，故用被动语态，结合时态从句使用一般过去时的被动语态，结构为was/were+及物动词的过去分词，publish的过去分词为published，故从句译为was published，又知"不久"的英文表达为"shortly"为副词修饰从句置于从句之首，故译为was a great success shortly after was published

点评 本题考查含有时间状语从句的复合句和一般过去时的被动语态，熟练掌握常用句型和固定短语的表达，根据句意和语法要求作出正确解答
