1. With industries and business developing quickly
解析:本句意为:随着工商业的发展,许多大城市的树木数量正急剧减少。随着要用介词with或along with。工商业既包括工业也包括商业,翻译时要注意译文的完整性。本句也可译成:With the quick development of industries and business.
2. broaden our horizon
解析:句中的短语widen our knowledge意思是扩大我们的眼界,make one open-minded是同义复指,它们表示相同的意思却在英语里使用不同的表达,以避免用词重复。这是英语行文的一个技巧,考生在翻译时应尽量避免wordiness(用词累赘),这个技巧在写六级作文时也值得借鉴。本句还可以译成:expand our vision或extend our sight.
