译文]我们的身份对交流有着重要影响。[解析]此句为一个简单句。在翻译的过程中，按照汉语的表达习惯先把主语翻译出来，“identity”意为“身份”；此外，“haveeffecton”意为“对……产生影响”。62．A[译文]从来没有其他任何一项体育竞赛像足球世界杯那样引人遐想。[解析]此句为一个简单句，按照正常逻辑译出即可。此外，“noother”意为“其他任何都不……”；“like”意为“像……一样”；“capture”意为“迷住，引起兴趣”，因此“captureimagination”可以意译为“引入遐想”。63．D[译文]在过去二十年，美国教育界出现了一个新趋势。[解析]此句为包含一个时间状语的句子。在翻译过程中，应先把时间状语译出来。此外，“trend”意为“趋势”，而“develop”的原意为“发展，进步”，在此句中的意思为“逐渐显现出来”。64．B[译文]不胜感谢贵方对此事的关照。[解析]此句为简单句，只要抓住句子主干，按照正常逻辑译出即可。此外，“beobligedto”意为“感到必须做……”，“thanksb.forsth.”意为“因某事而感谢某人”。65．[译文]在公共行政这一领域，我对公共政策制定和运筹学有很大兴趣，并希望在将来的学习中有所侧重。在获得学位后，我将回到中国并在政府部门谋职。PartⅤWritingExample:DearSirorMadam,JMr.JonesisthechairmanofCanadian-ChinesefriendshipAssociation.BeinganoldfriendofCanadianandChinese,hemademuchcontributiontothefriendshipbetweenthetwocountries'people.Duringthistimeofvisiting,heexpressesgoodwilloftheCanadianonceagain,andfostersthetwocountries'cooperation.NowIproposethatwecheerforthehealthofMr.Jonesandhiswife,andfortheeternalfriendshipbetweenthetwocountries.Analysis:*称谓后用逗号。*首先说明琼斯先生是加中友好协会的主席。*他为促进两国人民之间的友谊做出了很大贡献。*提议为琼斯先生及夫人和两国友谊干杯。*祝酒词最后不需要签名。
