How many people are there in the city？．

Answer 1

分析 How many people are there in the city？

解答 答案：How many people are there in the city？
首先觀察漢語，提問的情況屬于現(xiàn)在的客觀事實(shí)，所以用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)；表示"某地有…"用there be 句型，提問可數(shù)名詞的量用疑問詞how many，后面加可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式people，其中there be句型中的be應(yīng)遵循就近原則要用are；短語"在這個(gè)城市里"譯為：in the city，另外這是一個(gè)特殊疑問句，結(jié)構(gòu)是：特殊疑問詞+一般疑問句語序，所以be動(dòng)詞要提到there前面，故答案為：How many people are there in the city？

點(diǎn)評(píng) 此題考查對(duì)整句話的翻譯，做這類題時(shí)先分析所給漢語句子意思確定相關(guān)的詞匯和句型，然后仔細(xì)推敲時(shí)態(tài)考慮人稱和數(shù)的變化等容易出錯(cuò)的問題．
