1. There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work, just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal combustion engine has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons being driven. (1998. 阅读. Text 2)
【译文】不能否认的是学生应该学习有关电脑工作原理的知识,正如我们希望他们至少能明白内燃机工作与能源燃烧、气体膨胀和活塞运动有关。
【析句】多重复合句。主句There is no denying 固定句式,后跟名词性短语或名词性从句,这里是他that引导的名词性从句。从句中,主句为students should learn something about...work,as这里是连词,意为“和...一样,正如”,引导的从句中又包含that引导的宾语从句说明understand的内容。

2. While programming can be lots of fun, and while our society needs some people who are experts at it, it will be too much if all of us go programming—the same is true of auto repair and violin making. (1998. 阅读. Text 2)
【译文】尽管编程或许充满乐趣,而且我们的社会也需要这方面的专家,但若所有人都去编程的话,那就太过分了。这道理同样适用于汽车修理和小提琴制造业。
【析句】复合句。主干由主句it will be too much和if引导的条件状语从句组成,而从句主要是两个并列的while引导的让步状语从句,意为“尽管,虽然”。破折号将前句与后面句子分隔开来。

3. It sounds like “learning to drive a car”, that is, it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that, once acquired, enable one to use a computer. (1998. 阅读. Text 2)
【译文】这听起来像“学开车”,换句话说,听起来像是有一系列固定的技巧,一旦学会,就能操作电脑。
【析句】注意that is的用法。that is作插入语,意为“换句话说,也就是”,后面的内容是对前面内容的进一步解释,前后用逗号隔开。that is前的句子为简单句,后面的句子it sounds as if...,as if引导表语从句there is some set of definite skills。skills有定语从句that enable one to use a computer修饰。once acquired为过去分词作时间状语。
