Question

8．It was because of the heavy rain that I caught a bad cold and stayed in hospital for several days．（because）
正是因为那场大雨，我患了重感冒并在医院里住了好几天．

Answer 1

分析 It was because of the heavy rain

解答 答案是It was because of the heavy rain．本题考查强调句型；because为连词，后接原因状语从句；because of为介词，后接宾语；本题中"那场大雨the heavy rain"为名词短语，故用because of；强调句型的基本结构是"It be+被强调部分+that+其它"，be 动词与句中时态一致；本句中为过去时，故be动词用was；故本题答案为It was because of the heavy rain．

点评 汉译英要对比汉语句和英语句，分析题干中缺少什么；再根据所缺部分的含义选择适当的词、短语或结构，注意形式变化．
