今日的长难句较难

如果能搞定

请自豪的捏捏自己的大脸

【昨日复习】

Furthermore，humans have the ability to modify the environment in which they live，thus subjecting all other life forms to their own peculiar ideas and fancies.

而且，人类还有能力改变自己的生存环境，从而让所有其他形态的生命服从人类自己独特的想法和想象。

【今日长难句】

Therefore，it is important to study humans in all their richness and diversity in a calm and systematic manner，with the hope that the knowledge resulting from such studies can lead humans to a more harmonious way of living with themselves and with all other life forms on this planet Earth.

【基础词汇】

richness n. 丰富；富裕；肥沃；广泛

diversity n. 多样性；差异

systematic adj. 系统的；体系的；有系统的；

manner n. 方式；习惯；种类；

result from起因于；由……造成

lead to 导致；通向 (结合上下文意译为：促进)

harmonious adj. 和谐的，和睦的；协调的

【句子分析】

1. 句子主干: it is important to study humans in all their richness and diversity，译为：对人类的广泛性和多样性进行研究是至关重要的。

2. 修饰成分：in a calm and systematic manner，译为：以冷静和系统的方式，做方式祝状语；with the hope … 怀着……的希望，做句子的伴随状语；that the knowledge resulting from such studies can lead humans to a more harmonious way of living with themselves and with all other life forms on this planet Earth. that引导同位语从句，解释the hope 的具体内容。

3. that从句的主干为the knowledge can lead humans to a more harmonious way；resulting from such studies 为the knowledge 的定语，直译为“源自这些研究的知识”结合上下文意译为：通过这些研究获得的知识；of living with themselves and with all other life forms on this planet 解释a more harmonious way 的具体内容。

【翻译技巧提示】

当修饰成分较多、较长时，可考虑将修饰成分处理成单句。例如，该句with the hope that …翻译时处理成短语形式的修饰成分难度较大，则单独处理成单句，译文为“增译”，即：添加主语。

【参考译文】

Therefore，it is important to study humans in all their richness and diversity in a calm and systematic manner，with the hope that the knowledge resulting from such studies can lead humans to a more harmonious way of living with themselves and with all other life forms on this planet Earth.

因此，运用冷静和系统的方法对人类的广泛性与多样性进行研究，是至关重要的。我们/人们希望通过这些研究获得的知识可以促进人与人之间、以及人类与地球上的所有其他物种更加和谐地共存。

【看不懂时，记得多看几眼分析和参考译文】
