98 年74題： If the small hot spots look as expected, that will be a triumph for yet another scientific idea, a refinement of the Big Bang called the inflationary universe theory。
詞義推敲 ：
the small hot spots 小熱點
refinement 更完美，提煉，改進
the inflationary universe theory 宇宙膨脹說(理論)
look as expected 看上去與預(yù)計的一致”。
Triumph=victory or conquest 勝利，得勝勝利的事實，勝利或征服
refinement 更完美，提煉，改進
called：作后置定語，譯作“所謂的……”，“人們稱之為……”
the inflationary universe theory 宇宙膨脹說(理論)
參考譯文：假如那些小熱點看上去同預(yù)計的一致，那就意味著又一科學(xué)論說的勝利，這種論說即更完美的大爆炸論，亦稱宇宙膨脹說。
2、翻譯為“作為”

3，as…as …和…一樣
99 年71題：While there are almost as many definitions of history as there are historians, modern practice most closely conforms to one that sees history as the attempt to recreate and explain the significant events of the past。
參考譯文：盡管每一位歷史學(xué)家都有自己對于史學(xué)的定義，現(xiàn)代實踐最接近符合這樣一個定義，這個定義把歷史看作是重新創(chuàng)造和解釋過去重要事件的嘗試。
4、not so much…as… 與其說…不如說是...
94 年71題：Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools。
他們認(rèn)為，科學(xué)之所以向前發(fā)展，與其說是因為天才偉人的洞察力還不如說是因為像改進了的工具和技術(shù)那些更為普通的東西。
