4. “I broke the window of your house with my ball yesterday,” the boy told Mr. Smith.
→ _________________________________________________________Đáp án: The boy admitted breaking the window of Mr. Smith’s house with his ball the day before/ the previous day.
Giải thích: “I broke the window of your house with my ball yesterday,” the boy told Mr. Smith. (“Cháu đã làm vỡ cửa sổ nhà ông bằng quả bóng của cháu ngày hôm qua.” cậu bé nói với ông Smith.)
Xét về nghĩa của câu trực tiếp, cậu bé đang thừa nhận đã làm vỡ cửa sổ nên ta cần dùng một động từ tường thuật diễn tả sự thừa nhận. Do đó, động từ “admitted” là phù hợp nhất. Ta có cấu trúc: “admit + V-ing” (thừa nhận đã làm gì). Bên cạnh đó, ta cần biến đổi chủ ngữ “I” thành “the boy”, tính từ sở hữu “your” thành “Mr. Smith’s”, tính từ sở hữu “my” thành “his” và trạng từ chỉ thời gian “yesterday” thành “the day before/ the previous day”.
Dịch nghĩa: Cậu bé ấy thừa nhận đã làm vỡ cửa sổ nhà ông Smith bằng quả bóng của nó vào ngày hôm trước.
