I also admire his calmness when facing difficult situations. Therefore, I have no hesitation in recommending him for the position of Training Manager for your company and wish him every success in his application. 61.【答案】【B-A-D-c】 【难点分析】本句中包括一个省略形式的时间状语从句,如果根 据上下文补充出来.应为“when John was asked to explain what has happened”,所以该状语意为“要求约翰解释发生过的事情时”。理解主旬的难点在于对短语at a loss for words的理解,该短语意 为“不知道说什么好,找不到合适的话说”。结合上述分析可知,四 个选项中选项B提供的译文。选项A的问题在于错将at a loss for words译为“话让人摸不着头脑”;选项D同样错解了短语at a loss for words,将其译为“一句话也不肯说”.同时该选项还将时间状语 从句中的被动语态译为主动语态,与原意有较大出入;选项C的译文
