1. It is the most exciting news I have heard for such a long time.

这是我这么长时间以来所听到的最令人激动的消息了。

★ 解析：

...is the most exciting news I have heard for such a long time．可以视为习惯用法，表示“……是我这么长时间以来所听到的最令人激动的消息了”。此句主干是It is the most exciting news，后接省略了引导词的定语从句I have heard for such a long time。其中多音节形容词exciting的最高级形式为most exciting。

★ 套用：

Your admittance to the famous university is the most exciting news I have heard for such a long time.

你被这所著名大学录取，是我这么长时间以来所听到的最令人激动的消息。

Your winning the first prize is the most exciting news I have heard for such a long time.

2. We hold the opinion that you deserve this good result.

我们都认为，你应该取得如此好成绩。

★ 解析：

句首的We hold the opinion that..．可以视为习惯用法，后接宾语从句，表示“我们都认为……”，相当于We think that...、We believe that...、We are of the opinion that...。从句中的deserve后接名词（词组）或是不定式结构，表示“值得，应得，应受”。

★ 套用：

We hold the opinion that you deserve a reward for your efforts.

我们都认为，你的积极努力应该得到奖励。

We hold the opinion that you deserve to be praised.

我们都认为，你应该得到表扬。

We hold the opinion that you deserve all that happened to you.
