2）第一段第二句话关键在于对两个that引导的从句的理解。第一个that从句作定语修饰workers，第二个that作定语修饰rules。这里是考研英语中经常出现的一个考点：从句的嵌套。对于这样的句子我们的关键在于准确找到先行词，根据一个句子如果有N个连词就必定有N+1个动词的原则来切分开长句。3）“braindrain”这个词组是在报刊杂志中经常出现的，意思是“人才流失”。这个词语通过上下文逻辑应该能大概猜出它的意思，但是在考研考场上，尤其是在完成了阅读和作文后很多同学可能已经耗费了大量的体力和脑力，对于这个单词的猜测可能会很费力，甚至会放弃。这个说明我们再平时的学习过程中应该注意积累这样的热点词汇。4）“Theyfearthatithurtstheireconomies,deprivingthemofmuch-neededskilledworkerswho”对于这个句子的理解关键在于对于“depriving”之后成分在句子结构中作用的理解。Deprive本意是剥夺，在这里很显然不适合直译。我们根据逻辑关系可以翻译为“技工的流失”。“clever”这个单词很简单，同学们都认识，在这里翻译为“聪明的”很显然说不通，clever除了“聪明的”还有“精巧”之意，再结合这里说的是技术工人的重要性，我们可以翻译为“智能的”SectionIV Writing应用文范文DearSirorMadam,Iamanhonestcustomerwhooftenbuystheproductsfromyouronlinestore.Ijustboughtanelectronicdictionaryfromyourstoretheotherday.IfeelbadtotroubleyoubutIamafraidthatIhavetomakeacomplaintaboutthequalityofit.ThereasonformydissatisfactionisthatIfoundtheelectronicdictionarycan’treachmysatisfaction.Inthefirstplace,theoutlookisquitedifferentfromwhatitisplacedonline.Inaddition,thenumberofthevocabularycontainedinitistoosmall.ThepurposeIwanttobuyitisthatIintendtotakepartintheCATTIIExam.I’dliketobuyanelectronicdictionarywithalargevocabulary.Obviously,theoneIboughtisnottheexactoneIamexpectedtoobtain.Underthesecircumstances,Ifinditunacceptabletousethisone.
