题目解答
答案
根据题意，“由于意外”为“because of something unexpected”，“想把预约时间由周三改到周五”可译为“I want to change my appointment from Wednesday to Friday”。将各部分整合，完整句子为：
Because of something unexpected, I want to change my appointment from Wednesday to Friday.
答案：Because of something unexpected, I want to change my appointment from Wednesday to Friday. （其他合理表达亦可接受，如“Because of an unexpected situation, I would like to reschedule my appointment from Wednesday to Friday.”）
解析
本题考查固定短语和句子的英文表达。解题思路如下：
- “由于”常见的英文表达有“because of”，它后面接名词、代词或动名词等，而“because”是连词，后面要接句子，本题中“something unexpected”是名词短语，所以用“because of”。
- “意外”可以用“unexpected”来描述，“something unexpected”表示“意外的事情”。
- “想做某事”常见表达有“want to do sth.” 或者 “would like to do sth.” ，这里用 “want to” 更符合日常表达习惯。
- “把……从……改到……”的英文表达是“change... from... to...” ，“预约时间”是“appointment” ，“周三”是“Wednesday” ，“周五”是“Friday” ，所以“把预约时间由周三改到周五”就是“change my appointment from Wednesday to Friday”。
