Part VI Translation

87.   The university authorities did not approve the regulation, nor did they make any explanation / nor did they give the reason for doing so (也没有解释为什么).

解析：本题考察了两个知识点。① nor的倒装句用法，后半句表示“也不”的否定意义，注意助动词的时态与上半句保持一致；② 对某事做出解释的表达，考察了汉译英中动词转名词的技巧，explain → explanation，或者nor did they give the reason for doing so同样可以。

88.   Jane is tired of dealing with customer complaints and wishes that she could be assigned (to) another job（能被分配做另一项工作）

89.   John rescued the drowning childat the risk of his own life (冒着自己生命危险).

90.   George called his boss from the airport but it ①was his assistant who answered / picked up the phone；②turned out that his assistant answered / picked up the phone（接电话的却是他的助手）
