参考答案：
1．going∧since－加入on
题解：
goon的意思是“继续”，符合句子表达的含义“争论一直在继续”。
2．certain－改为acertain
题解：
此处要表达的意思是“很多作家喜欢一种自由的翻译方法”，第一次出现这种方法应
该加上不定冠词。
3．rather－改为not
题解：
根据原句的句子结构，rather应改为not。
4．is－改为was
题解：
此句应该为过去时。
5．in－改为at
题解：
attheturnof19thcentury“十九世纪之初”，是固定搭配。
6．the－删去第二个the
题解：
这里并没有特指某种语言，所以不用定冠词。
7．view∧translation－加入that
题解：
在view和translation之间加上that，可将“translationwasimpossible”看
成view的同位语。
8．was－删去was
题解：
条件状语从句常可以省略主语和系动词。
9．culminated∧the－加入in
题解：
culminatein是“以......告终”的意思，符合上下文含义。
10．and－改为but
题解：
根据原句意思“现在背景变化了，但是基本问题依然存在”，两句话之间应该是转折
关系。
