难句译注

1.Inthiswayifheisblown,comingthroughairportcustomshecannotunwittinglyleadagentstothenextlinkinthechain.

【结构简析】条件句

【参考译文】这样,一旦在他通过机场检查处时出事,他不可能愚蠢地把检查事务官引到锁链的下一个环节。

2.Therethetraineemulessitforhoursonendwearingweightedsmugglingvestsbeneaththeirclothes,sothattheybecomeaccustomedtostandingupafteralongflightinanaturalway,andwithoutrevealingwhattheyarecarrying.

【结构简析】主从句。主句中分词断语wearing修饰trainee。从句中and连接两组介词短语,后有一宾语从句whattheyarecarrying。这实际上是with(without)+v-ing+object基本句型。

3.AnoutfitinBrusselsmaintainedacomfortableapartmentwherethemulescouldrelaxandgetafirmgriponthemselvesonthenightbeforetheirfirstjourney;theywerehelpedtodressbeforesettingoutfortheairportinthemorning.

【结构简析】句子结构复杂。Where定语从句修饰apartment,从句中and连接两个谓语动词,后面又用分毫隔开另一句分句。

【参考译文】布鲁塞尔一家走私集团长期包了一套舒适的公寓。在那里走私分子可以休息,在第一次上路前的夜晚,好好控制下自己;早上出发去机场前,有人帮他们穿好衣服。

答案详解

1.Cmule,骡子是为走私集团交货人的称呼,绰号。A.是为走私集团具体运送走私货物的人。只运送,不交货不能成为骡子。B.负责走私货物的人。也不对,负责者不一定运送和交货。D.从走私者那里接受指示的人。更不对。

2.Bblown原义为:欠账了的,被炸毁的,坏了等。这里指:走私分子在过海关,机场检查处出事,不一定被逮捕。A.逮捕。C.认出,逮捕。D.逃跑。都不符合blown原义。

3.D说明走私分子会把利益归己。最后一段第一句“有时,走私分子带着货物逃跑,把利益归己”。走私集团为防范此事,常常派遣高级人物监视走私人,特别是新走私者,也于事无补。这段的具体例子:“走私者和委托人同机飞行,到法兰克福机场,9万美金也是不翼而飞,走私者已经捞到手。”就是说明走私者可以为自己留下财路。A.走私者被捕之事,例子中没有提及。B.走私者不去警察局报案,并不易定是害怕警察局,而是报不了。C.监督毫无用处。是副线。

4.D单个干。这在第一段一开始就点明:“走私商的上层人物(头面人物)必须一起工作,而大多数辛迪加的小组织,特别是走私分子,他们只知道他们的直接联系人。一旦他们被逮捕,就没有什么可以出卖的。一个骡子甚至连给他指示的人的姓名都不知道,也不知道如何和此人联系”。A.共同干。B.独立干,走私分子不是独立,大多数是在监督之下。C.有意识地干,上下都是有意识地干。
