【长难句】
【昨日】First, the object of our study pleads for definition. What is an intellectual? I shall define him as an individual who has elected as his primary duty and pleasure in life the activity of thinking in Socratic(苏格拉底) way about moral problems.
（今日长难句）He explores such problem consciously, articulately, and frankly, first by asking factual questions, then by asking moral questions, finally by suggesting action which seems appropriate in the light of the factual and moral information which he has obtained.
【句子分析】
总体点评：该句子主干不难，但修饰成分实在太多、太长。怎么处理？不妨听听最后给大家推荐的讲座。
先看这句话的处理：
1. He指代的内容需要联系上下文猜测，可知：he指代an intellectual，即：知识分子。
2. 句子主干为主谓宾= He +explores+ such problems.
3. consciously, articulately, and frankly 为副词的并列结构，修饰explores
4. first by asking factual questions, then by asking moral questions, finally by suggesting action 为介词短语by +doing的方式状语的并列结构
5. which seems appropriate in the light of the factual and moral information 为which引导的定语从句，根据seems (单三) 可确定其先行词为action,
6. which he has obtained 为定语从句，修饰the factual and moral information
【翻译技巧】
1. 当修饰成分不长时，直接译为“的”结构，例如：the factual and moral problems which he has obtained 就可以直接译为：他所获得的与实际和道德信息相符合/一致的行动建议。
2. 当修饰成分较长时，处理的方式一般就是：将修饰成分单独翻译成一句话。例如：first by asking factual questions, then by asking moral questions, finally by suggesting action which seems appropriate in the light of the factual and moral information which he has obtained 为本句的修饰成分，实在太长了，怎么办？干脆单独译为一句话，即：他首先提出实际问题，然后提出道德层面上的问题，最后提出看起来和他所获得的与实际和道德信息相符合的行动建议。

【参考译文】
他首先提出实际问题，然后提出道德层面上的问题，最后提出看起来与他所获得的实际和道德信息相符合的行动建议。通过这一系列行为来清晰、明了、真实地探究此类问题。
