65. Moreover, since the objects, substances and processes are the focus of attention rather than the people who are operating with them, they tend to be made the subjects in the passive voice rather than in the active one. (p. 166)

問題分析：operating with them中的them指前面提到的objects, substances and processes，這些是動詞operate的對象，顯然with多余，應(yīng)去掉。

67. As the human race is advancing discovering, creating and inventing, new things and concepts spring up incessantly, urging linguists coin new terms to express them. (p. 167)

問題分析：英語動詞urge后接帶to動詞不定式，不能接動詞原形，因此urging linguists coin new terms應(yīng)改為urging linguists to coin new terms。另外，該句還存在標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號使用不當(dāng)問題，advancing與discovering之間應(yīng)添加一個逗號。即便如此，本句的英文表達(dá)也還需要進(jìn)一步改進(jìn)。

68. Many principles and methods are applied to take anything new and useful. (p. 167)

問題分析：英語動詞短語apply to后接名詞，不接動詞，建議句子改為：Many principles and methods are applied to anything new and useful.

69. The incidents that compose a narration are arranged in their natural order. (p. 181)

問題分析：compose用詞不恰當(dāng)，應(yīng)改為constitute 或comprise。

70. When, as the all-knowing author, we not only relate what we observed and what our characters did, but tell, besides, what they thought and how they felt, we employ the omniscient third-person point of view. (p. 194)

問題分析：not only…but (also)已經(jīng)包含了besides的含義，因此，這里的besides重復(fù)，應(yīng)去掉。

71. Or the writer seeks to illuminate the characters of men and women, their wisdom or foolishness, intelligence or passions. (p. 202)

問題分析：character是一個多義詞，既可以用作可數(shù)名詞，也可以用作不可數(shù)名詞。它在這里的意思是“性格”，是不可數(shù)名詞，沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式，應(yīng)把characters中的s去掉，改為character。

72. Journals and diaries often give personal impressions and fresh insight into experience. (p. 202)

問題分析：這句話有兩個問題。第一，無論從平行結(jié)構(gòu)還是insight的可數(shù)名詞特點(diǎn)考慮，它都應(yīng)使用復(fù)數(shù)形式insights。第二，介詞搭配問題。介詞into只與insight搭配，不能與impressions搭配。在英語中，表示對某物的印象，一般與介詞of搭配。建議全句改為：Journals and diaries often give personal impressions of and fresh insights into experience.

73. Overtone of meaning is sought by the author, so as to suggest something over  and above mere logical meaning, to set the imagination to working. (p. 224)

問題分析：set the imagination to working中的to應(yīng)去掉，才符合該詞用法。Overtone （玄外之意）與 meaning（意義）表達(dá)重復(fù)。另外，句子結(jié)構(gòu)還需近一步改進(jìn)。建議改為：An author seeks to convey the overtone so as to suggest something over and above mere logical meaning, and to set the imagination working.
