考研阅读逐句翻译
Research
has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under
low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively
correlated with leadership – that is, it predicted the opposite.
词汇：
negatively
//adv. 否定的；消极的
correlate
//v. 相关联，极为相似
结构：
Research has found （主句）//that IQ predicted leadership skills （that宾语从句）//when the tests were given under low-stress
conditions（when时间状语从句）,
//but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with
leadership （but并列句，是found动词的宾语从句）//– that is, it predicted the opposite（破折号隔开的分句，解释上文）.
译文：
研究发现，如果在压力较小进行测试，智商就可以预测出领导才能，但如果压力大，智商测试所得的结果与领导才能是负相关的，也就是说，预测的结果与实际是相反的。

考研阅读逐句翻译
Anyone
who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters,
whether it’s knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.
词汇：
toil
//v. 苦干，辛苦劳动；费劲地行走
testify
//v. 证明，证实
结构：
Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify （主句，其中有who引导的定语从句修饰主语中心词anyone）//that test-taking
skill also matters（that引导的宾语从句）, //whether it’s knowing when to guess or
what questions to skip（whether引导的状语从句）.
译文：
任何苦战过赛达（SAT）的人都会认为，应试能力也很重要，比如知道何时该蒙，或者知道哪些问题该放弃。
翻译思路：
这个句子很有意思，尤其是对于准备考试的人来说，看完或许会莞尔一笑。
toil这个动词也很有意思，翻译为“苦战，熬过”，toil through它后面可以直接跟某种考试。
