3、a millimeter apart做定语从句修饰先行词molecules和when the molecules approached more closely做状语从句，修饰but became considerable。considerable译为“相当大（或多的）”。译文：我们曾经假定，分子之间存在着引力，这种引力随着分子之间距离的不同而有显著的变化，因而，在间距为千万分之几毫米的分子之间的引力是很小的，但是分子靠得很近时，这种引力会变得相当大。2.

4、h means that we must，for the benefit of coming generations，leave enough environmental space so that these generations will be able to address their needs and fulfill their aspirations.结构分析:句子的框架是This need is enshrined in the concept of sustainable development。其后紧跟着一个which引导的定语从句，修饰先行词sustainable dev
5、elopment。此定语从句的谓语动词means又套嵌一个that引导的宾语从句，即we mustleave enough environmental space。此宾语从句中又有so that结构做此从句的目的状语。be enshrined in意为“被深深地珍藏（或铭记）在”，此处转译为主动语态“纳入到”。sustainable development译为“可持续发展”。译文：这一需要被正式载入可持续发展的概念之中。所谓可持续发展是指:为了子孙后代的利益，我们必须保留足够的生存环境空间，以满足他们的需要，施展抱负。3.

9、attend college or land any but the most menial of jobs.结构分析:句子的框架是these women havegiven voiceto what they know from experience that。that从句做experience的同位语从句;此从句中又套嵌一个unless引导的条件状语从句;Once intimidated by arguments是过去分词做状语修饰these women，其施动者arguments又有两个that引导的同位语从句修饰限定它。intimidated by arguments意为“被论点搞得惊
10、慌害怕”;feel at home不能直译为“感到在家”，而译为“感到自在”;give voice to意为“表达，表露”;land jobs译为“找到工作”。译文：有人说，孩子们在双语课堂里会感到更加自由自在，而在正规班级会丧失其传统文化。这几位母亲曾被这一论点搞得惶恐不安，现在发表了最响亮，最有说服力的意见。从她们自身的经验中，他们深知:如果孩子们不熟练掌握他们所移居国家的语言，除了那些最简单的体力活儿外，根本谈不上上大学，也谈不上找到理想的工作。5. The presumption on which human cloning rests is that all these cells，
11、though now specialized，still contain exact copies of the original set of genetic instructions needed to make an entire individual and can do so if a way is found to switch them back on.结构分析:句子的框架是The presumption is that all these cellscontain genetic instructionsand can do so。其中介词on加which引导定语从句修饰主语t
12、he presumption; that从句为表语从句;此表语从句中contain和can do并列做all these cells的谓语;表语从句中又插入一个though引导的省略了主语all these cells的让步状语从句，补充完整为though these cells are now specialized; needed to make an entire individual为过去分词短语做genetic instructions的后置定语;并列谓语can do so又有if条件句修饰。rest on意为“依赖”。为避免重复do so代替前文提到的make an entire
13、individual。译文：人类克隆赖以存在的假定是:虽然所有的细胞现已全部特化，但却仍然包含有发育为完整个体所需的与母体完全一致的全部遗传指令;如果能找到一个方法使失去作用的部分恢复作用，这些细胞就能发育成为完整的个体。6.

14、r theories.结构分析：句子的框架是a regularitywill be more readily called a natural law than an empirical regularity。介词for加关系代词which引导定语从句修饰a regularity。an empirical regularity后又有定语从句that cannot be subsumed under more general laws or theories修饰。grounds意为“根据，理由”;subsume意为“把归入，纳入”。译文：因此，与一条不能被归入更普遍的法则或理论而是基于经验的规律
15、相比，一条具有普遍理论依据支持的规律很可能被认可为一条自然法则。7.

16、ny special intelligence in the creature concerned.结构分析:句子的框架是It is because ofthat，but it is important to realize that。but连接两个并列句，but前的并列分句为It isthat强调结构，强调because of引导的状语。but后的并列分句又有that引导的宾语从句做realize的宾语。the close association in most peoples minds of tools with man中注意in most peoples minds把the close association of tools with man（工具与人类的密切联系）分隔开来。两个并列句中分别有able to use an object as a tool和concerned分别做其前面名词animal和the crea
