were fixed to keep the cold out.安装双层窗御寒。5.动名词转译成动词（gerund-v.）The origin of this particular culture is far from clearing.这种奇特的文化根源远没有弄清楚。,转译成名词,当英语动词的意义不易用汉语动词表达，或不能表达得很准确时，可以把动词转译为名词。1.动词转译为名词（v.-n.）The book did not impress me at all.那本书没留给我什么印象。Harry aims to become a computer expert.哈里的目标是成为计算机专家。Your work is
