英语状语从句的翻译
1.There is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive，however lucky and robust we are。
[参考译文] 不管我们多么幸运，多么健壮，我们所希望的长寿年龄实际上是有限度的。
[结构分析] 该句分为两部分：(There is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive, ) (however lucky and robust we are。
)，第一部分是主句，第二部分是however引导的让步状语从句；主句中on…alive是介词短语，作limit的后置定语，how引导的从句是介词on的宾语，该从句的主语是we，谓语是can hope to remain，表语是alive；让步状语从句的主语是we，谓语是are，表语是lucky and robust。
这句话翻译时也要将从句提前，然后再译主句。
[知识链接] virtual实际的；remain保持；a limit on…对……有限制；alive活着的；lucky幸运的；robust健壮的。
2. While formal learning is transmitted by teachers selected to perform this role, informal learning is acquired as a natural part of a child's development。
[参考译文] 尽管正式的学习过程是由挑选出来担当此角色的教师来进行的，非正式的学习过程却是作为孩子成长的自然一部分而完成的。
[结构分析] 该句可拆分为两部分，(While formal learning is transmitted by teachers selected to perform this role,) (informal learning is acquired as a natural part of a child's development. )，第一部分是While引导的让步状语从句，第二部分是主句；从句中，formal learning是主语，谓语是is transmitted，过去分词selected 作teachers的后置定语，是不定式to perform this role作selected的目的状语；主句中，informal learning是主语，谓语是is acquired，介词短语as a natural part of a child's development作acquired的结果状语。
