Consequently, students who place excessively high expectations on （3.对……期望过高）themselves or are constantly worried about their grades will be at high risk of（4.……的风险很高）developing these emotional symptoms. 1- It is well documented that

be well documented可以直译为“被详细记录”，that引导主语从句，it为形式主语。

词典释义：

verb transitive UK [ˈdɒk.jʊ.mənt/

to record the details of an event, a process, etc. 记录，记载

•His interest in cricket has been well-documented(= recorded and written about) by the media.他对板球的兴趣在媒体的报道中都有详细的记载。

外刊例句：

It is well documented that loneliness and social isolation among older people in the UK is increasing, resulting in challenges such as increased costs of caring for older people in hospital as this article suggests.

有充分文献证实，英国老年人群中的孤独和社交隔离给政府带来了各种挑战，比如本文所述的正不断增加的老年人医疗花费。

学生错误表达：

（1）There are sufficient references proven that

点评：reference一般指“引文出处，参考书目”，用在这里不妥。

（2）According to abundant materials

点评：material指写文章时用到的素材和资料，用在这里不准确。

总结：大多数同学是通过中文意思直译过来，把“文献”翻译成名词，没有document作动词表示地简洁有力。

2- lead to

词典释义：

lead ●●○○○

11.VERB 动词招致；致使；导致 If something leads to a situation or event, usually an unpleasant one, it begins a process which causes that situation or event to happen.

•He warned yesterday that a pay rise for teachers would lead to job cuts.他昨天警告说，给教师们加薪会导致职位的裁减。

刺激到基里延科先生是对于突发的货币贬值的恐惧，因为在此影响下，不单是外国投资者，

俄罗斯群众也会丧失对经济的信心。

替换表达：result in / cause / give rise to

学生错误表达：

（1）induce

点评：induce是指“诱导某人做某事”，不可以用来指“导致……的结果”。
