英语翻译
（2）A few days later,Mr.Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the show.He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team.He also said that three more people would be needed as backup（替补）.Unluckily four times that many students were at the meeting.So Mr.Gaudi said we would have a competition and the top eight scorers would become the team and the back up.Everybody agreed that this was a fair way to decide.
（3）Yesterday,all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school.【 We would have to decide the starting line-up（阵容）】.Mr.Gaudi acted as the host.After a couple of hours,【 all the places on the team were set except one.Carla and I tied for that last position】.We had to hold a one-on-one competition between the two of us.The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.
（4）Midway through our two-person competition,I was starting to pull ahead.【Then】 I saw the look on Carla’s face.I waited for a second and knew what I had to do.【As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck,Carla wanted it even more.】So,starting with my next question,I held back and le
t Carla win,just by a little bit.Her expression as she realized she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team.And since I will go as backup,I’ll still have the fun of seeing the show up close.
请翻译一下括号内的几个句子 ,并说明括号内的then 可否用still

我见过的高手都是直接忽略生词而根据文段意思和句法结构来推断单词意思的（如果有生词的话）,你想想要是你每次都查生词,你怎么锻炼你提取文段主干意思和语法学习能力呢（每次都浪费了呀有木有）?更何况做阅读理解最重要的就是理解文段主干啊!
三分钟全部对的”诀窍“：先看问题（把ABCD选项都扫一遍）,带着得到的关键词回文段找,一击即中,当然这是针对比较简单的阅读题了,像到英语专八考试这种故意出很多迷惑项就要考你词汇量的阶段,这种方法才用不上.
中级阅读：还是先找关键词,但是把你阅读的宽度扩展到该关键词的前后两三句话,排除干扰项,得答案.
还有,你平时要多看书（中文的）,我的经验是：高中很多英语阅读所描述的人和故事都在各种文摘啊报纸啊书上出现过,中国讲究与时俱进,有什么好的英文文章早翻译过来了,你要是之前看过类似的中文故事,英语看到关键词就自动代入,全篇理解了嘛~
高级阅读：不用说,拼的就是词汇量.我从来不背单词,我都是背文章,背散文,背戏剧,这样的好处是当你忘了单个单词的意思时,你想想它出现在你背的文章的哪个位置,再想想你背的文章是什么意思你就想起来了,而且直接锻炼了你的英文写作能力.
单词背的滚瓜烂熟文章写得一塌糊涂的人我见多了,为啥?句子间架构搭的差呗~
要是英文文章背多了（我指的是原汁原味的英文,不是新东方那种烂的要死的范文）,你阅读写作能力一下子就飞跃了,考试那种阅读就不在话下咯~
还有,和你竞争的不只有你的同桌,你和他拼的也不只是英语,学会融会贯通,学习效率会上去的.你的愤愤不平只会让你的世界缩小到只有你同桌,把心放大你才有进步的空间
