大学英语四级倒装句翻译突破(2)
第四步：伟人伟招
1. 英勇无畏式
Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. (Marie Curie)
生活中没有什么可怕的东西，只有需要理解的东西。(居里夫人)
【点评】这句话可用于提出问题的解决方法，比如说关于“global shortage of fresh water”，在提到如何应对时，不妨说：
Famous scientist Marie Curie once said, “Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood.” In the same ways, once we understand the causes of this phenomenon, we can confidently believe that we will solve the problem with the following means.
2. 热情无限式
A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiasm.
(C. M. Schwab)
只要有无限的热情，一个人几乎可以在任何事情上取得成功。(施瓦布)
【点评】用法和上句类似。
3. 理想远大式
The important thing in life is to have a great aim, and also the determination to attain it. (Goethe)
人生重要的在于确立一个伟大的目标，并有决心使其实现。(歌德)
【点评】我们可以从歌德的话语里面，学到一个很好的句型：The important thing is to…, 不妨进一步学一个四级里面另两个更受欢迎的句型：
(1) Nothing is + (adj).er than to + V. + …
Nothing is + more + 形容词 + than to + V. + …
【例】Nothing is more important than to receive education. 没有比接受教育更重要的事。
(2) What a + adj. + n. + S. + V.!= How + adj. + a + n. + V.!(多么…!)
