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。

状语从句的翻译英语中的状语从句种类繁多，用法复杂，可以用来表示时间、地点、条件、目的、结果、原因、让步、方式、比较等意义。
由于英汉两种语言在表达习惯上的不同，在状语从句的安排上存在着明显的差异。
英语中的状语从句多用在主句后面，而汉语中则习惯于将状语从句放在主句之前，因此在翻译成汉语时一般将状语从句置于主句前面。
当然，对于不同的状语从句，在翻译时也需要根据汉语习惯来灵活翻译。
下面将具体介绍各种状语从句的翻译方法。
