1、Present was the usual mix that had so often accumulated into a burden too heavy for a single-parent household like the one Oprah Winfrey grew up in.

翻譯為：目前，這種平常的稅收會不斷地壓迫在家庭的身上,就象Winfrey 這樣的例子.

2、There are a number of other positions to consider.

"A number of" 換成 "a lot of" 或者是”a great many”行不行，為什么?

可以換成a lot of或a great many of,因為position是可數名詞。如果這里是不可數名詞，則只能用a number of代替而不能用a great many.修飾可數/不可數都行：a number of/a lot of,只能修飾可數：a great many of(與many性質一樣)

3、Would you mind letting me take a look in your briefcase?

將"letting me"換成 "let me" 行不行，為什么?

不行，mind是動詞，后面不能直接跟動詞原形，一般接名詞(或動名詞),這里的letting是let的動名詞形式。

4、I’m afraid I certainly do mind, if it’s all the same to you.

“Do mind”與” all the same”什么意思?

do mind: 在英語中強調動詞，用助動詞do(各種時態)+動詞原形。

all the same: 完全一樣，用于強調。

如：Although you didn't complete it in time, I appreciate you all the same.

盡管你沒有及時完成，我還是一樣很感激你。

5、The state in which she was born had laws in place waiting to characterize her as unwelcome.

翻譯為：在她出生的洲有專門針對象她那一類人并將他們列為不受歡迎人士的法律。
