今天的翻译题是:
　　1.The little child was very angry because her mother ____________(说话不算数).
　　2.Because there are too many people,it is impossible for him __________(从人群中挤到站台上).
　　答案解析:
　　1.答案:had eaten her words /// had gone back on her word
　　详解:
　　考查时态:主句谓语用一般过去时，而从句谓语动词“说话不算数”在先，所以用过去完成时为佳。
　　考查短语:“说话不算数”表达为eat one's words//go back on one's word，注意两个短语中word的单复数形式不一样。
　　2.答案:to push his way through the crowd to the platform
　　详解:
　　考查不定式作主语:该句中it 为形式主语，不定式作为真正的主语。该句型为it is + a.+(for sb)to do sth.
　　考查短语:“挤过”用push through来表达。
