【每日译词：镜花水月】
1. 他有许多美好的设想，但都是镜花水月，根本没法实现。
1.C
【句意】史密斯夫人应该上月就离开这里去了印度。
【解析】语法结构——时态。此题涉及的短语是“be supposed to do sth. 应该做某事;被期望干某事”，由题干中关键词“last month上月”可知“leave”这个动作已经完成，故可排除没有使用完成时态的A项及B项;再由“leave”在这里表示“离开”的意思知使用主动语态的C项“to have left”正确。
2.D
【句意】就电脑而论他有点像个专家，而这成了他向自己的朋友们夸耀的东西。
【解析】词组辨析。spout off“信口开河地讲话”;feel right about”感觉……是对的“;get away with“侥幸成功，侥幸逃脱”;when it comes to“当提到;就……而论”。由句中关键词“He is a bit of an expert”与“computers电脑”的对应知“就……而论”符合语境，故D项正确。
【每日译词参考答案】
1. He had many wonderful ideas, but they were only unattainable illusions.
“镜花水月”为汉语成语，其意思是“镜里的花，水里的月(flowers in a mirror and the moon’s reflection in water)”，原指“诗中灵活而不可捉摸的空灵的意境”，后用来比喻“虚幻的景象”。可以将其译为“unattainable illusions”或“beautiful but evanescent dreams”。
