问题 No matter how hard I tried to explain how to operate the machine, they were still at a loss.

选项 A、尽管我努力把机器开动了,他们还是觉得非常失望。
B、无论我怎么努力地说明机器的用法,他们都不理解我。
C、即使我努力地对机器做了解释,他们还是不相信我的话。
D、不管我怎么努力地解释如何操作这台机器,他们依然听不懂。

答案D

解析 本题的关键在于把握no matter和explain how to operate the machine的译法,以及短语at a loss的意思。no matter意为“不论”或“无论”,explain how to operate the machine可以译成“解释如何来操作这台机器”,短语at a loss意为“迷惑不解”或“茫然”。选项A把no matter译成了表示让步关系的“尽管”是不准确的,把explain how to operate the machine误译成“把机器开动了”,而且还漏译了explain和how to短语,改变了句子的本意,还把at a loss错译成了“非常失望”;选项B把explain how to operate the machine翻译成“说明机器的用法”属于意译,基本达意,但是把at a loss译成“不理解”则是错误的;选项C把no matter错译成“即使”,漏译了how to短语,导致句子意思发生改变,把at a loss错译成了“不相信”。综合比较,选项D为正确译文。
