问题     A translator must have an excellent, up-to-date knowledge of his source languages. He must fill facility in the handling of his target language, which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual【C1】______, and a knowledge and understanding of the latest subject-matter in his field of specialization. This is, as it were, his professional【C2】______. In addition to this, it is【C3】______that he should have an enquiring mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to【C4】______quickly the basic principles of new developments.
    He should be willing to work【C5】______his own, often at high speeds, but should be humble enough to【C6】______other people because his own【C7】______does not always prove adequate to the task in hand. He should be able to type fairly quickly and【C8】______and, if he is working mainly for publication, should have more than a nodding【C9】______with printing techniques and proof-reading. If he is working basically as an information translator, let us say, for an industrial firm, he should have the flexibility of mind to enable him to【C10】______rapidly from one source language to【C12】______, as well as from one subject-matter to another, since this ability is【C12】______of him in such work. Bearing in【C13】______the nature of the translator’s work, i. e. the processing of the written word, it is, strictly speaking,【C14】______that he should be able to speak the languages he is【C15】______with.
    If he does speak them, it is an【C16】______rather than a hindrance (障碍), but this skill is in many ways a luxury that he can do away with. It is, 【C17】______, desirable that he should have an 【C18】______idea about the pronunciation of his source languages, even if this is restricted to knowing how proper names and place names are pronounced. The same【C19】______to an ability to write his source languages. If he can, well and good; if he cannot, it doesn’t【C20】______.
【C10】
选项 A、change
B、transform
C、turn
D、switch
答案D
解析 固定搭配。change意为“改变”，后接介词into，如：change into new clothes(换新衣服)；transform意为“使转化”，一般指形式的转换；turn意为“转变”，常与介词from，into搭配；switch“转换”，指完全或突然的转变，常用搭配为switch…from，意为“从……转向／改变”。本句大意是指从一种语言转换到另一种语言，故应选D。
