37、t have a few ideas bouncing around in their heads.译文：有些人年轻时就清楚自己想做什么，但更多的人往往是只有一些想法在脑子里晃来晃去。分析：bouncing around in their heads在句中作定语，修饰名词ideas。bounce的本意是“弹起；反弹”，bounce around 可指“蹦来蹦去；弹来弹去”，在本句中引申为“（想法在脑子里）晃来晃去”之意。如： Some impractical ideas kept bouncing around in my head. 一些不切实际的想法在我的脑子里晃来晃去。2 You don

40、：wish表示愿望，后面接宾语从句时，从句要用虚拟语气。从句的谓语动词可用过去时表示与现在事实相反；也可用过去完成时，表示与过去事实相反；还可用would+do表示对未来的希望。如： I wish I were a bit slimmer.我希望我能再瘦一点儿。 （“瘦一点儿”与现在事实相反，所以从句的谓语动词用过去时。） I wish I hadnt eaten that much last night. 我希望我昨天晚上没吃那么多东西。 （“没吃多”与过去事实相反，所以从句动词用过去完成时。） I wish you would stay longer. 我希望你会多待一会儿。 （表示对未来

41、的希望，所以使用了would+do的结构。）3 Others focus more on asking you to rate different kinds of work scenarios, like working as a librarian or a lawyer.译文：另一些测验则更侧重于让你给不同类型的工作场景打分，比如说当图书管理员或律师。分析：此句中的rate为动词，意为“评估；评价”。例如： The performance was rated a huge success by the audience. 观众认为这次演出是非常成功的。 另外，rate也可用作名词，意为“速度；比率；价格”。例如： I usually walk at an average rate of five kilometres an hour. 我通常以平均每小时五公里的速度走路。 The birth rate is slowly increasing these years.近些年出生率在缓慢上升。 We offer reduced rates for seniors. 我们给老人提供优惠价格。
