2、 长难句翻译解析
10. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
第一步判断句子类型,这是一个简单句,
提示一下:这里的but for 不是引导带有虚拟语气的条件状语从句,而是分开两个单词but和for,but 是转折词,for是表示对于后接状语
第二步分析句子成分。句子主干是a lot of them.....;因为要保持句子平衡所以把状语摆在句前,所以把for后接的状语摆在前面。状语里面嵌套了一个that引导的定语从句。
all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically→ all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically(翻译的时候可以把that遮住变成一个完整的句子来分析就可以了,然后根据中文来调整语序就可以了
第三步,整合句子意思。

第一步判断句子类型,这是一个复合句
第二步分析句子成分,given放在句首时,given后接状语表示鉴于,考虑到。另外,you might think that....其中的that引导宾语从句;宾语从句后嵌套了一个定语从句, in which all payments are made electronically→all payments are made electronically in the cashless society.
