　　Part IV：句子翻译

　　1. 六个人被困在矿井里有17个小时了。如果不把他们尽快救上来，他们就会没命的。

　　2. 然而，事实证明，营救行动很困难。如果用炸药，震动将引发塌顶。救援工作者因此正在矿井的北面钻一个洞。他们打算用一个特殊的胶囊型容器把下面的人们吊上来。

　　3. 如果土壤下面没有一层很坚硬的岩石的话，他们几个小时就可以完成工作了。情况是，他们已经钻了16小时了，还有很长的一段路呢。与此同时，一个两小时前放到矿井下面去的麦克风使被困矿工可以与他们最亲近的亲属保持着联络。

　　4. 虽然他们已耗尽了食物和饮料，他们还是很振奋的，而且深信他们马上就会被营救出来。他们被告知营救行动进展顺利。如果他们知道钻透坚硬的岩石有多么困难，他们就会灰心的。

　　答案：

　　1. Six men have been trapped in a mine for 17 hours. If they are not brought to the surface soon, they may lose their lives.

　　2. However, rescue operations are proving difficult. If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse. Rescue workers are, therefore, drilling a hole on the north side of the mine.They intend to bring the men up in a special capsule.

　　3. If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours. As it is, they have been drilling for 16 hours and they still have a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with their closest relatives.

　　4. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and confident that they will get out soon. They have been told that rescue operations are progressing smoothly. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart.

　　I’m writing to recommend(推荐)to you the outstanding(杰出的)personality(个性)and the super(超凡的)ability for learning(学习能力)of Mr. Robert Jiang.

　　I got to know Mr. Jiang a few years ago while I was teaching British literature(英国文学)to a class of English majors(英语专业学生)in which he was a student. His excellent performances(出色表现)on several occasions(在几个场合)such as group discussions(分组讨论)and open debate(公开辩论)really took me by great surprise(令我大为吃惊). Never had I met a young student speaking English so fluently(流利地)and accurately(准确地). His insight(洞察力)into British literature as a whole(整体)as well as(以及)the perspectives(视角)he cut into(切入)the analysis(分析)of characters(人物)in the literature aroused(引起)my great curiosity about(对。。。的好奇心)his first-class(一流的)and unique(独特的)capability(能力)of doing research work. Later on(后来), upon his completion(完成)of the Bachelor degree, he moved on(继续)to pursue(追求，从事)his study for a Master’s degree in the same field of study(专业研究领域)and I was very lucky to be his supervisor(导师). Mr. Jiang has always been an honest(诚实的)person. He is very friendly to people and is very easy-going(性情随和的). Many of his classmates have mentioned(提到)on different occasions(在不同的场合)about how helpful(乐于助人的)he was to them and to which I simply(简直)cannot agree more(再赞成不过了).

　　Now Mr. Jiang is applying(申请)to your prestigious(久负盛名的)university for a chance to continue his Ph.D research(博士学位研究). I hope you’ll find he is just as good as I’m now recommending him to be. And should you have any further questions(假如您还有其它问题), please feel free to contact me(尽管联系我)at the following e-mail address:
