Question

12．汤姆错过了那场公众评价很高的电影，并非因为买不到电影票，而是因为交通堵塞．（available）Tom missed the movie （that） the public spoke highly of not because the movie ticket were available but because he met with/came across the traffic jam．．

Answer 1

分析 Tom missed the movie （that） the public spoke highly of not because the movie ticket were available but because he met with/came across the traffic jam．

解答 Tom missed the movie （that） the public spoke highly of not because the movie ticket were available but because he met with/came across the traffic jam．
根据句意"汤姆错过了那场公众评价很高的电影"可知，这是对过去事实的陈述，所以使用一般过去时．
本句可使用主从复合句，主句部分为Tom missed the movie后面为一个that引导的定语从句；从句部分为because引导的原因状语从句，从句中含有一个not…but…连接的平行结构．speak highly of sth高度评价某事；be available可得到的，可买到的．

点评 对于翻译题要明白句子所考查的重点句式，要灵活运用多种表达方式，对于学生来说要至少熟练准确的使用一种，如宾语从句、状语从句或定语从句等．
