题例：将下列短文中的五处划线部分译成汉语。
Wu Dong is from Guangdong．George is from America．They are in No.1 Middle School in Nanjing．⑴Now they are in their teacher，Mr Smith's room．There are many，many English books on the bookshelf（书架）．Wu Dong and George are asking some questions．⑵There are some apples，bananas，cakes，bottles of milk and oranges on the table．⑶Mr Smith gives something to eat to Wu Dong and something to drink to George．Wu Dong would like something to drink．George would like something to eat．Mr Smith doesn't know．⑷They put them on the table again．Now it's seven thirty．⑸It's time to go to the classroom．They must go．
答案与分析：
⑴他们现在在他们的老师史密斯先生的房间。句中Mr Smith应是their teacher的同位语，可直接放在“他们的老师”后译出。
⑵桌上有些苹果、香蕉、蛋糕、几瓶牛奶和桔子。该句虽长，分析起来却可看出它是一个there be句型的基本结构，结构确定了，译起来便不会感到困难。其中oranges为“桔子”之意，应与前面的若干个词并列，不可理解成与milk并列，而将其误解为“桔子汁”之意。
⑶史密斯先生给吴东一些食品，给乔治一些饮料。“给”后并列宾语something to eat和something to drink可根据汉语习惯译作“一些食物”、“一些饮料”。
⑷他们又把他们放在了桌子上。根据文章内容史密斯先生不了解吴东和乔治的所需，因而他们二人都未能享用老师所给的东西。
⑸该去教室了。It's time to do．表示“该做某事了。”、“是做……的时候了”。
