Plainly enough, that is too large an order, as anyone must realize who reflects upon the manner in which they reach public office.
44. not…any more than…为：不能……，正如不能……。 One cannot learn to sketch and express himself graphically only by reading about it any more than one can learn to swim while standing by the pool.
45. By that as it may是Let it be that as it may的省略形式，是由be引起的另外一种假设结构，意思是虽然如此，尽管这样。 It is said that the nerve poison is the more primitive of the two, that the blood poison is, so to speak, a new product from an improved formula.

52. to be doing…when…是一个句型，多译为某人正在做……时，突然……。在简单的句子中容易看出，一旦句子变得复杂一些，可能就不太容易识别这种句型。 She said she and a friend had gone out to dinner that night, and were walking home together at about 10 o'clock, when a very big, very tall man, accosted them and demanded their purses.
53. too…to句型 Then I remembered how often I, too, had been indifferent to the grandeur of each day, too preoccupied with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the splendor of it all.

59. 下面例句为一倒装句，主语很长，而且又含有非常复杂的句型。这是以形容词作表语的倒装，翻译实践中多把倒装部分译到最前面。 No less obvious is the fact there are great numbers of people so constituted or so brought up that they cannot get so much pleasure out of processes and experiences resulting in a poorer life less full of meaning.
60. what…of句型 I can not say of myself what Johnson said of Pope He never passed a fault unamended by indifference, nor quitted it by despair. I do not write as I do; I write as I can.
61. 英语的一个习惯用法是：当否定谓语think（believe）时，实际上是否定其后面的宾语从句。否定就落在宾语从句上。这样宾语从句就变成了双重否定，译时可以按双重否定译，也可按肯定来译。 It is a valuable work. I do not think anyone writes so well that he cannot learn much from it.

66. The chances are that…是一句型，译为有可能……。 The chances are you will never attempt that speed with poetry or want to race though some passages in fiction over which you wish to linger.
67. Feel, see, leave引起宾语的宾语补足语，或在被动语态中引起主语补足语的某些惯用句型有时see和feel这两个词的被动式不大好译。遇到这种情况应挖掘其深层含义，不要拘泥于表面形式。 The education of the young is seen to be of primary importance.
68. 某词以no, nowhere, never, not…bout, not…any, nothing but, hardly, scarcely, seldom等否定词语引出的一些结构。 I never go past the theatre but I think of his last performance.
69. 某些用choice between, to know better, whether or, should have avoided(或done better)等表示从两种做法中选取一种更好的做法 Then we are faced with a choice between using technology to provide and fulfil needs which have hitherto been regarded as unnecessary or, on the other hand, using technology to reduce the number of hours of work which a man must do in order to earn a given standard of libing.

72. 一些外位语，所谓外位修饰，指从句子结构和内容上不起主要信息表达功能的部分。其作用是从语气和连接上下文等方面进行补充。在翻译成汉语时，往往可独立成句，外形上不保留修饰的痕迹。 Of course, nobody was hurt this time, because we had all been to dinner, none of us being novices excepting Hastings; and he having been informed by the minister at the time that he invited him that in deference to the English custom the had not provided any dinner.
