（二）11.We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you.12.But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours.13.We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it;and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know , and make men of them.14.In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth’s postwar era, there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day.15.Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives.We are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem.16.Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.17.Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.18.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travellers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it , let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface.19.The first time that the question “ What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed.20.At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.在線學英語 體驗請申請：

譯文：

11、我們知道你們很看重你們在大學里面教育的學習方法，而且我們的年輕人與你們生活的花費即使對于你們來說也不便宜。

12、但是你們也要明白不同的民族看待事物有不同的方法，所以如果剛好我們的看法與你們的不一樣的話，你們也不應覺的被冒犯了。

13、當然，對于你們的盛情我們沒有被逼迫的感覺，盡管我們拒絕接受。而且，為了表示我們的感謝，如果維吉利亞洲的紳士們愿意派來一些他們的子弟的話，我們會盡全力教育他們，并把他們培養成為真正的男人。

14、在這個像是計算機史前時代的時代，地球的戰后時代，人們普遍擔憂有一天計算機會取代人類控制世界。

15、今天或者不到五十年后，計算機將越來越多的減輕人們的工作事務和日常瑣事。我們也將面對一個沒有什么戲劇性和更不可預測的問題。

16、顯然，如果你不得不檢查計算機提供的所有答案的話，對它投資就沒有任何意義了。但是當人們覺的計算機確實出了一些問題的時候，應該靠自己內部的“計算機”來檢查機器。

17、當然牛頓在他的作品中寫到了一些理論方面的東西，但他不愿進行更加深刻的研究。

18、除了一些洲際旅行者和以大海為生的人，對于大多數人來說，大海是遙遠的，沒有什么必要提出太多問題，更別說思考大海海底的東西了。

19、當鋪設一條從歐洲到美洲的海底電報光纜的時候，出于商業動機，人們第一次不得不回答這個問題“海底是什么東西”。

20、在早期的嘗試中，光纜鋪設失敗，不得不取出來維修。這時人們發現上面覆蓋有生物，這推翻了當時科學界認為深海沒有生命的理論。

1、真實的夢境

英：Our dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right? It's only when we wake upthat we realize how things are actually strange.Let me ask you a question, you,you never really remember the beginning of a dream do you? You always wind upright in the middle of what's going on。

2、盜夢

英：What'sthe most resilient parasite? An Idea.A single idea from the human mind canbuild cities.An idea can transform the world and rewrite all the rules.Whichis why I have to steal it。

譯：最具有可塑性的寄生生物是什么?是人的想法。人類一個簡單的念頭可以創造城市。一個念頭可以改變世界重寫一切游戲規則。這就是為什么我要從夢中把它盜取出來。

3、對于生命的悔恨

英：Themoment's passed.Whatever I do I can't change this moment.I'm about to call outto them.They run away.If I'm ever going to see their faces I've gotta get backhome.The real world。

5、放手

英： I can't stay with her anymore because shedoesn't exist.I wish.I wish more than anything.But I can't imagine you withall your complexity, all you perfection, all your imperfection.Look at you.Youare just a shade of my real wife.You're the best I can do;but I'm sorry, youare just not good enough。

譯：她不是真實存在的，我不能和她呆在一起。我也想，我比什么都想，但我想像不出你的復雜情緒、你的種種完美和不完美。看看吧，你只是我妻子的一個影子。你只是我竭盡全力能創造出來的而已，但是很遺憾，你遠遠比不上真實的她。

31.Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage.But the tide is unlikely to turn back.[參考譯文]一些機構終于松了一口氣，但是其他一些機構，包括教堂，倡導生命之權的團體和澳大利亞醫學協會，尖銳地抨擊這個法案，指責法案的通過過于匆忙。但是大勢已定，不可逆轉。

33.There are, of course, exceptions.Small--minded officials, rude waiters, and ill mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US.Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment.[參考譯文]當然，例外是存在的。在美國，心胸狹窄的官員，粗魯的傳者，和沒有禮貌 的出租車司機也并不少見。然而人們常常得出這樣的觀察意見，這使得它值得被討論一下。

34.We live in a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances(drugs)is pervasive: an aspirin to quiet a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning, a cigarette for the nerves.[參考譯文]我們生活在一種藥品(毒品)的醫學用途和社會用途都很廣泛的社會里：一片用來止頭痛的阿斯匹林，一些用來社交的葡萄酒，早上自己提提神所喝的咖啡，一支用來定神的香煙。

35.Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance, with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect, and then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the substance is discontinued.[參考譯文]對藥品的依賴性首先表現為不斷增長的耐藥量，要產生想得到的效果所需要 的藥品劑量越來越大，然后表現為當停止用藥后，令人不快的停藥癥狀的出現。

[參考譯文]上星期參議員羅博特多爾質問時代華納公司的高級管理人員們：“難道這就是你們希望能夠成就的事業?你們已經出賣了自己的靈魂，但是難道你們還非要腐化我們的國家，威脅我們的孩子們嗎?”

37.“The test of any democratic society, he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column', ”lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be...“

[參考譯文]”對任何一個民主社會的考驗，“他在《華爾街雜志》的一個專欄文章中寫到，”不在于它能夠多有效地控制各種意見的表達，而在于這個社會是否能給予思考和表達的盡可能廣泛的自由，不管有時候這種結果是多么的富有爭議或令人不快…“

38.During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month's stockholders' meeting, Levin asserted that ”music is not the cause of society's ills“ and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate with students.[參考譯文]在-上個月的股東大會上關于搖滾歌詞的討論中，萊文宣稱說：”音樂不是社 會問題的原因“，他甚至還以他的兒子為例。他的兒子是紐約州布朗克斯的一個教師，并用說唱音

樂與學生們進行溝通。

39.Much of the language used to describe monetary policy, such as ”steering the economy to a soft landing“ of ”a touch on the brakes“，makes it sound like a precise science.Nothing could be further from the truth.[參考譯文]有很多用于描述貨幣政策的詞匯，例如”輕踩剎車“以”操縱經濟軟著陸“，使 貨幣政策聽起來像是一門精確的科學。沒有什么比這更遠離實際情況的了。

40.Economists have been particularly surprised by favorable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since, conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America's, have little productive slack.[參考譯文]經濟學家們對英國和美國的有利的通貨膨脹數據尤其感到驚訝，因為傳統的計量方法顯示兩國的經濟，特別是美國的經濟，幾乎沒有生產蕭條的時候。

41.The most thrilling explanation is, unfortunately, a little defective.Some economists argue that powerful structural changes in the world have upended the old economic models that were based upon the historical link between growth and inflation.[參考譯文]很不幸，這最令人震驚的解釋有一點缺陷。一些經濟學家認為世界經濟結構的強有力的變化已經結束了那個以經濟增長和通貨膨脹的歷史關聯為基礎的舊的經濟模式。

42.The Aswan Dam, for example, stopped the Nile flooding but deprived Egypt of the fertile silt that floods left-all in return for a giant reservoir of disease which is now so full of silt that it barely generates electricity.[參考譯文]例如，阿斯旺大壩使得尼羅河不再洪水泛濫，但是它也奪去了埃及以前所享有的洪水留下的肥沃淤泥--這些換來的就是這么個疾病滋生的水庫，現在這個水庫積滿了淤泥，幾乎不能發電了。

43.New ways of organizing the workplace--all that re-engineering and downsizing--are only one contribution to the overall productivity of an economy, which is driven by many other factors such as joint investment in equipment and machinery, new technology, and investment in education and training.[參考譯文]企業重組的新方法--所有那些重新設計、縮小規模的做法--只是對一個經濟的整體生產力做出了一方面的貢獻。這種經濟還受許多其他因素的驅動，比如結合設備和機械上的投資、新技術，以及在教育和培訓上的投資。

44.His colleague, Michael Beer, says that far too many companies have applied reengineering in a mechanistic fashion, chopping out costs without giving sufficient thought to long-term profitability.[參考譯文]他的同事邁克爾·比爾說，有太多的公司已經用一種機械的方式實行公司內部的重新設計，在沒有充分考慮長期贏利的能力下削減了成本。

45.Defenders of science have also voiced their concerns at meetings such as ”The Flight from Science and Reason“, held in New York City in 1995, and ”Science in the Age of(Miss)information, which assembled last June near Buffalo.[參考譯文]科學衛士們在會議上也表述了他們的關注，比如1995 年在紐約市舉行的“ 逃離科學與理性”會議，以及去年6月在布法羅附近召開的“(錯誤)信息時代的科學”會議。

46.A survey of news stories in 1996 reveals that the anti-science tag has been attached to many other groups as well, from authorities who advocated the elimination of the last remaining stocks of smallpox virus to Republicans who advocated decreased funding for basic research.[參考譯文]一項關于1996年新聞報道的調查顯示，反科學的標簽還可以貼在許多其他 團體

身上，從提倡消滅最后存留的天花病毒的權威機構，到鼓吹削減基礎研究經費的共和黨人(都被貼上了反科學的標簽)。

48.This development--and its strong implication for US politics and econ·my in years ahead--has enthroned the South as America's most densely populated region for the first time in the history of the nation's head counting.[參考譯文]這種發展--以及其對美國政治、經濟在未來幾年的潛在的強有力的影響一一 使得南部在全國人口普查中有史以來首次成為美國人口最密集的地區。

49.Often they choose--and still are choosing--somewhat colder climates such as Oregon, Ida ho and Alaska in order to escape smog crime and other plagues of urbanization in the Golden State.[參考譯文]他們常常選擇--現在依然這樣選擇--居住在那些氣候較為寒冷的地區，比如俄勒岡、愛達荷，還有阿拉斯加，為的是逃避煙霧、犯罪，以及“金州”(加利福尼亞)城市化進程中的其他問題。

50.As a result, California's growth rate dropped during the 1970's, to 18.5

percent--little more than two thirds the 1960's growth figure and considerably below that of other Western states.[參考譯文]結果，加利福尼亞的人口增長率在20 世紀70 年代時下降到了18.5％——稍高于60 年代增長率的三分之二，大大低于西部其他各州。

考研英語典型長難句及解析之二

The English Original: There were mists over the river and clouds on the mountain and the trucks splashed mud on the roads and the troops were muddy and wet in their capes;their rifles were wet and under their capes the two leather cartridge-boxes on the front of the belts, grey leather boxes heavy with the packs of clips of thin, long 6.5 mm cartridges, buldged forward under the capes so that the men, passing on the road, marched as though they were six months gone with child.譯文一：

河上罩霧，山間盤云，卡車在路上濺泥漿，士兵披肩淋濕，身上盡是爛泥；他們的來福槍也是濕的，每人身前的皮帶上掛有兩個灰皮子彈盒，里面滿裝著一排排又長又窄的六點五毫米口徑的子彈，在披肩下高高哦突出，當他們在路上走過時，乍一看，好像是些懷孕六月的婦人。

譯文二：

河上升起了霧，山上飄著云，載重卡車在大路上泥漿飛濺，士兵們滿身是泥，他們在斗篷里濕漉漉的；他們的步槍也是濕的。在他們的斗篷下，兩個皮制的子彈盒掛在他們腰帶前面，灰色的皮盒沉甸甸的，里面盡是一排排裝著細長的6.5毫米子彈的子彈夾，在斗篷下面鼓了起來，士兵們經過大路向前行進，就像懷了六個月身孕似的。

The English Original:

The mountain that was beyond the valley and the hillside where the chestnut forest grew was captured and there were victories beyond the plain on the plateau to the south and we crossed the river in August and lived in a house in Gorizia that had a fountain and many thick shady trees in a walled garden and a wistaria vine purple on the side of the house.譯文一：

山谷后面那座高山和那個有栗樹林的山坡，已經給拿了下來，而南邊平原外的高原上也打了勝仗，于是我們八月渡河，駐扎在哥里察一幢房子里。這房屋有噴水池，有個砌有圍墻的花園，園中栽種了好多繁盛多蔭的樹木，屋子旁邊還有一棵紫藤，一片紫色。譯文二：

占領了峽谷那邊的那座山和栽著栗樹林子的那個山坡，在平原那邊在南面的平原上也打了勝仗，于是八月里我們過了河，住在戈里齊亞的一所房子里，在四面圍墻的花園里有一個噴泉和許多茂密陰翳的樹木，房子的一邊爬著紫藤，花開得紫英英的。

The English Original:

I practiced with it(pistol), holding below the target and trying to master the jerk of the ridiculous short barrel until I could hit within a yard of where I aimed at twenty paces and then the ridiculousness of carrying a pistol at all came over me and I soon forgot it and carried it flopping against the small of my back with no feeling at all except a vague sort of shame when I met English-speaking people.譯文一：

我練習了一個時期，盡量往靶子的下邊打，想盡方法克服短槍筒那種滑稽的顫跳，到了后來，終于能夠在二十步外打中離靶子一碼遠的地方了，后來我常常感到佩帶手槍的荒唐滑稽，但不久也就忘記了它，隨便吊在腰背上，一點感覺都沒有，除非是偶爾碰到講英語的人，才多少感到有點兒不好意思。譯文二：

我用它練習打槍，把槍舉到靶子以下，竭力控制那可笑的短槍筒的震搖，直到我在二十步的距離瞄準而能命中一碼以內的目標，這才清除了佩帶一支手槍的那份荒唐可笑的心情。我很快忘記了它，我帶著它在我的腰背后磕碰著卻沒有一絲感覺，除非碰到一個講英語的人才微微感到有點害臊。The English Original:

Maybe she would pretend that I was her boy that was killed and we would go in the front door and the porter would take off his cap and I would stop at the concierge’s desk and ask for the key and she would stand by the elevator and then we would get in the elevator and it would go up very slowly clicking at all the floors and then our floor and the boy would open the door and stand there and she would step out and I would step out and we would walk down the hall and I would put the key in the door and open it and go in and then take down the telephone and ask them to send a bottle of Capri bianca in a silver bucket full of ice and you would hear the ice against the pail coming down the corridor and the boy would knock and I would say leave it outside the door please.譯文一： 也許她會把我當做哪個陣亡的愛人，我們于是一同走進旅館的前門，看門人連忙摘帽，我找掌柜的拿鑰匙，她則站在電梯邊等，隨后我們一同走進電梯，電梯開得很慢，的的嗒嗒地過了一層又一層，到了我們那一層時，小郎打開門，站在一邊，她走出去，我走出去，一同順著走廊走，我拿鑰匙去開門，門開了，我們進去，拿下電話機，吩咐他們送一瓶裝在放滿冰塊的銀桶子里的卡普里白葡萄酒來，你聽得見走廊上有冰塊碰著提桶的響聲，小郎敲敲門，我就說請放在門外。譯文二：

她也許會裝著我是她那個陣亡的男朋友。我們從正門進去，侍者會向我們脫帽致禮，我會在服務臺前停下，向服務臺女職員要房間鑰匙，她會侍立在電梯房，接著我們會走進電梯，電梯升得很慢經過每一層都咔嗒一聲響，接著便到了我們那一層。侍役打開電梯門站在那兒，她會走出電梯，我隨著走出電梯，我們就沿著過道走去。我把鑰匙插進房門打開房門走進去，接著便拿起電話要他們送一瓶卡普里白葡萄酒來，要裝在放滿了冰的銀制的冰桶里，你會聽到冰塊碰著桶子的聲音從走廊里傳來，侍者會敲門，我會說請擱在門外就行了。The English Original:

I was always embarrassed by the words sacred, glorious, and sacrifice and the expression in vain.We had heard them, sometimes standing in the rain almost out of earshot, so that only the shouted words came through, and had read them, on proclamations that were slapped up by billposters over other proclamations, now for a long time, and I had seen nothing sacred, and the things that were glorious had no glory and the sacrifices were like the stockyards at Chicago if nothing was done with the meat except to bury it.譯文一：

我每逢聽到神圣、光榮、犧牲等字眼和徒勞這一說法，總覺得局促不安。這些字眼我們早已聽過，有時還是站在雨中聽，站在聽覺達不到的地方聽，只聽到一些大聲喊出來的字眼；況且，我們也讀過這些字眼，從人們貼在層層舊公告上的新 上讀到過。但是到了現在，我觀察了好久，可沒看到什么神圣的事，而那些所謂光榮的事，并沒有什么光榮，而所謂犧牲，那就像芝加哥的屠場，只不過這里屠宰好的肉不是裝進罐頭，而是掩埋掉罷了。譯文二：

神圣的、光榮的和犧牲等等這些字眼，以及徒勞無益的豪言壯語常常使我困惑。我們聽到過這些字眼，有時站在雨中，在耳朵幾乎聽不見的地方，以致傳來的只是那些大聲喊叫出來的字眼，我們也曾在張貼布告的人漫不經心地一張疊一張地張貼的公告上讀到過這些字眼。如今經過一段很長的時間，我沒有見到過任何神圣的東西，光榮的東西并不光榮，犧牲像芝加哥屠宰場的牲畜圍場，要是肉無法處理只有把它埋掉了事。

The English Original:

That night at the hotel, in our room with the long empty hall outside and our shoes outside the door, a thick carpet on the floor of the room, outside the windows the rain falling and in the room light and pleasant and cheerful, then the light out and it exciting with smooth sheets and the bed comfortable, feeling that we had come home, feeling no longer alone, waking in the night to find the other one there, and not gone away;all other things were unreal.譯文一：

那天夜晚在旅館里，房間外邊是一條又長又空的走廊，門外邊放著我們的鞋子，房間里鋪著厚厚的地毯，窗外下著雨，房間里則燈光明亮，快樂愉快，后來燈滅了，床單平滑，床鋪舒服，一片興奮，那時的心情，好比我們回了家，不再感覺孤獨，夜間醒來，愛人仍在，并沒有發覺夢醒人去；除了這以外，一切事物都是不真實的。

譯文二：

那天晚上在旅館，我們的房間外面是長長的空寂無人的過道，我們把鞋子放在門外，房間的地板上鋪著一層厚厚的地毯，窗外雨下個不停，房間里明亮，舒適，歡快，隨著燈光熄滅，光滑的床罩，舒適的床榻，使人心情激動，感到我們已經回到了家里，感到我們已不再孤單，半夜醒來發現另一個人仍在身邊沒有離去；其他一切都已變得虛幻。

譯文三：

那晚的旅館，那空蕩蕩的走廊，那放在門外的鞋子，那厚厚的地毯，那窗外的落雨，那開燈時的歡欣和喜悅，那熄燈后體味滑滑的單子和舒適床鋪的那種興奮，那回家的感覺，那再也沒有了的孤單，那夜里醒來發現愛人仍在而沒離去的溫馨!其他一切的一切都已不復存在了。

考研英語典型長難句及解析之二

1.This will be particularly true since energy pinch will make it difficult to continue agriculture in the high-energy American fashion that makes it possible to combine few farmers with high yields.結構分析:句子的主干是This will be particularly true?。since引導原因狀語從句。此從句中又套嵌一個由關系代詞that引導的定語從句，修飾the high-energy American fashion。在定語從句中，that做主語，makes做謂語，it做形式賓語，不定式短語to combine few farmers with high yields則是真正的賓語（不定式短語內部to combine是主干，few farmers是賓語，with high yields是狀語），possible做賓語補足語。this指代前句中提到的這種困境。energy pinch譯為“能源的匱乏”;in?fashion譯為“用?方法、方式”。

譯文：這種困境將是確定無疑的，因為能源的匱乏，高能量消耗這種美國耕種方式將很難在農業中繼續下去，而這種耕種方式使投入少數農民就可獲得高產成為可能。

2.Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter，we must be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a“valid”or“fair”comparison.結構分析:句子的主干是we must be sure?。since引導原因狀語從句the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter。主句中又有that引導的賓語從句that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a“valid”or“fair”comparison。此賓語從句中又套嵌一個由介詞with+which引導的定語從句with which we are comparing our subjects修飾先行詞the scale。scale在此處意為“尺度、衡量標準”。

譯文：既然對智力的評估相比較而言的，那么我們必須確保，在對我們的對象進行比較時，我們所用的尺度能夠提供“有效的”或“公平的”比較。

3.In general，the tests work most effectively when the qualities to be measured can be most precisely defined and least effectively when what is to be measured or predicted can be not well defined.結構分析:句子的框架是the tests work most effectively when?and least effectively when?。and連接兩個并列分句，每個并列分句中皆有一個when引導的時間狀語從句分別說明work most effectively和and（work）least effectively。第二個時間狀語從句中還有一個主語從句what?predicted。the tests是主句的主語，work為動詞做謂語。qualities在此處是可數名詞，不譯為“質量”，而譯為“特征”。defined不能直譯為“被定義為”，而應譯為主動語態“界定”。

譯文：一般來說，當所需要測定的特征能被精確界定時，測試最為有效;而當所測定或預測的東西不能被明確界定時，測試效果最差。

4.For example，they do not compensate for gross social inequality，and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.結構分析:句子的框架是they do not compensate?，and thus do not tell how?。and連接兩個并列分句，第二個并列分句中由how引導的賓語從句是一個帶有虛擬條件句的主從復合句，其中had he grown up?（=If he had grown up?）是省略了連詞if的非真實條件句。主句主語的they，在此代指上文提到的tests;able在句中作might have been的表語。underprivileged在此不能譯為“沒有特權的”，而譯為“沒有地位的”或“物質條件差的”。

譯文：例如，測試并不能彌補明顯的社會不公;因此，它們不能說明一個物質條件差的年輕人，如果在較好的環境中成長的話，會有多大才干。

5.It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset：it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans

extend to other humans，or with no consideration at all.結構分析:句子的框架是It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that?。冒號后的復合句是對冒號前部分作進一步說明。復合句中that引導賓語從句，從句中有either?or?引導的兩個并列的介詞結構作狀語，修飾動詞be treated，其中第一個with介詞結構中還有一個省略了關系代詞that或which的定語從句humans extend to other humans，修飾the consideration。it代指上文的觀點，即如果對人權沒有達成一致看法，而談論動物的權利是徒勞的。介詞短語at the outset譯為“從一開始”。動詞invites應轉譯為“使”、“讓”或“促使”。動賓結構extend consideration to意為“給予關懷或關心”，consideration不應譯為“考慮”。

譯文：這種說法從一開始就將討論引向極端，它使人們認為應該這樣對待動物:要么像對人類自身一樣關懷體諒，要么完全冷漠無情。

6.But even more important，it was the farthest that scientists had been able to look into the past，for what they were seeing were the patterns and structures that existed 15 billion years ago.結構分析:句子的框架是it was the farthest that?。但It was?that?在本句中不是強調句型。it是指上句中所提到的150億年前形成的巨大云團（a strip of enormous cosmic clouds some 15 billion light-years from earth）;that引導的應是一個定語從句，修飾先行詞the farthest。for引導的是表示原因的分句，分句中還有that引導的定語從句，修飾the patterns and structure。

譯文：但更重要的是，這是科學家們所能觀測到的有關過去的最為遙遠的景象，因為他們看到的是150億年前宇宙云的形狀和結構。

7.Thus it happened that when the new factories that were springing up required labor，tens of thousands of homeless and hungry agricultural workers，with their wives and children，were forced into the cities in search of work，and any work，under any condition，that would keep them alive.結構分析:句子的框架是it happened that?。it做形式主語，that引導的從句做真正的主語。主語從句中，又有一個由when引導的時間

狀語從句，主句為tens of thousands of homeless and hungry agricultural workers?were forced?，時間狀語從句中從句主語the new factories又帶有一個定語從句that were springing up;that would keep them alive做work的定語從句。spring up意為“發生，出現，建立”。譯文: 于是就出現了這樣的情況:正當新辦的工廠紛紛建立，需要勞動力的時候，成千上萬無家可歸、饑腸轆轆、以農業為生的勞動者攜家帶口，被迫進入城市;他們要找活干，不管什么活兒，不論什么條件，只要不被餓死就行。

8.As a result of two or three centuries of scientific investigation we have come to believe that nature is understandable in the sense that when we ask her questions by way of appropriate observations and experiments，she will answer truly and reward us with discoveries that endure.結構分析:句子的框架是?we have come to believe that?。that引導的從句做believe的賓語從句;此從句中有一個that從句作the sense的同位語從句;同位語從句中又套嵌一個由when引導的時間狀語從句;此時間狀語從句又套嵌一個定語從句that endure，修飾其先行詞discoveries。by way of意為“經由，通過?方法”;reward sb.with意為“以?報答，酬勞”;endure此處應譯為“持久，持續”,不要譯為“忍受，容忍”。

譯文:由于兩三個世紀以來的科學研究成果，我們逐漸相信，如果運用合適的觀察和實驗方法向大自然探究問題，她會真心實意地給我們答復，并且以永垂不朽的發現來報答我們。從這個意義上來說，大自然是可以認識的。

9.These new observational capabilities would result in simply a mass of details were it not for the fact that theoretical understanding has reached the stage at which it is becoming possible to indicate the kind of measurements required for reliable weather forecasting.結構分析:句子的框架是These new observational capabilities would result in simply a mass of details?。后面緊跟省略了if引導的虛擬條件句were it not for the fact that?，即if it were not for the fact that?;that從句作the fact的同位語從句。此從句中又套嵌一個定語從句，修飾其先行詞the stage;required for reliable weather forecasting為過去分詞短語修飾the kind of measurements。simply譯為“只不過，僅僅”，www.tmdps.cn;免費考研輔導視頻

不應譯為“簡單地”。

譯文：理論上的認識已達到了這樣一個階段,即現在已能指出需要哪種測量方式才能可靠地預報天氣。如果做不到這一點，那么上述這些新的觀察能力只不過提供了一大堆細節而已。

10.The story of the discovery of what is now generally called the principle of Archimedes，namely that a solid body when immersed in a liquid loses a portion of its weight of the liquid it displaces，has many different versions，of which the following is one.結構分析:句子的框架是The story?has many different versions?。what is now generally called the principle of Archimedes為名詞性從句做介詞of的賓語。namely that a solid body?作the principle of Archimedes的同位語;when immersed in a liquid是省略了主語的過去分詞短語，句子補充完整為when the solid body is immersed in a liquid，修飾其主句a solid body loses a portion of its weight of the liquid?;it displaces是省略了關系代詞that的定語從句修飾the liquid，it代指前面提到的the solid body;同時，of which the following is one又構成先行詞versions的定語從句。displace意為“排（水）”;version不譯為“版本”，此處指“根據個人觀點的（對事件等的）說法，看法”;句尾的one代指a version。

譯文:當固體浸沒到液體中時，固體會失去它所排出的液體的那部分重量，這就是現在通常所謂的阿基米德原理。有關這一發現的故事說法眾多，下面的故事就是其中之一。
