翻译题题型说明：Translate the following sentences (26-30) into Chinese and (31-35) into English27. 事实上他根本就没有参加考试。

“事实是”可用“The fact is that...”或“The truth is that...”。“根本”可译为“not at all”或“by no means”。“参加考试”为“take the exam”或“sit for the exam”。综合分析，最佳翻译为： “The fact is that he didn’t take the exam at all.” 答案：The fact is that he didn’t take the exam at all. （其他合理译法亦可接受，如：The truth is that he didn’t participate in the exam at all.）
