问题 The employer’s failure to protect its employees against smoking causes an employee to quit her job.

选项 A、该雇主未能成功地保护其雇员免受吸烟之害,由此导致一位雇员辞职。
B、由于该雇主未能保护其雇员免受吸烟之害而导致一位雇员辞职。
C、为防止员工辞职该雇主发起禁烟运动但最终失败。

答案B

解析 本句中有两个短语的含义需特别注意:一为failure to do sth. ,意为“未能做某事”. 此结构体现的是“做与不做”的区别,与“成功与否”无关;一为protect sb. against sth. ,意为“保护某人免受某物之苦”。结合上述分析可知,B项的翻译最符合原意。A项将failure to do sth. 错译为“做某事未能成功”,有失妥当,但句子结构表达正确。
