98年74題： If the small hot spots look as expected, that will be a triumph for yet another scientific idea, a refinement of the Big Bang called the inflationary universe theory。

詞義推敲：

the small hot spots 小熱點

refinement 更完美，提煉，改進

the inflationary universe theory 宇宙膨脹說(理論)

look as expected 看上去與預計的一致”。

Triumph=victory or conquest 勝利，得勝勝利的事實，勝利或征服

refinement 更完美，提煉，改進

called：作后置定語，譯作“所謂的……”，“人們稱之為……”

2、翻譯為“作為”

4、not so much…as… 與其說…不如說是...

94年71題：Science moves forward, they say, not so much through the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary things like improved techniques and tools。
