5. If this can’t be settled reasonably ,it may be necessary to _________________(诉诸武力).
答案
1. needn’t have borrowed it from the bank
(本题考查虚拟语气,“本来”意味着与过去事实相反,因此用have+动词过去分词,译文中用it指代前文提到的money,避免了重复)
2. to the best of their ability
(本题考查惯用词组"to the best of one’s ability”,意为“尽某人所能,尽最大努力”)
3. to hearing your story again
(本题考查objection的用法,其通常和介词to连用,后面接动名词。Have no objection to doing sth,意为“对做某事没有意见”)
4. it was such a sensitive issue
(本题考查强调句型it is such a… "敏感话题”译为"sensitive issue”)
5. resort to force
(本题考查it is necessary to do sth, 用resort to sth 来表示“诉诸,求助于某物”)
