翻译下列句子
1. Put them all together,exalt them above their present imperfections,add to them the vision of humankind redeemed,forever free of need and strife 1 and you have a future lighted with the radiant colors of hope.
2. Silly or wise,terrible or delightful,it is a further helping 2 of experience,an additional joy after dark,another slice of life cut differently for which,it seems to me,we are never sufficiently 3 grateful.
3. But a great book,rich in ideas and beauty,a book that rises and tries to answer great fundamental questions,demands the most active reading of which you are capable.
1.要 点：词句的主干是一个由and连接的并列结构。第一部分由几个并列祈使句组成，第二部分是一个完整的主谓结构，全句主干即“Put…,exalt …,add …,forever free …strife and you have a future …colors of hope”。由第一部分并列祈使句较长而第二部分较短，而且连接两个部分的and前面又存在着另一个and(即need and strife)，还由于几个并列的祈使句都用逗号隔开和并列连词and前不宜再用逗号(于是有了……forever free of need and strife and you have……hope)，致使句子的结构较复杂，不易看出主干的并列结构。
参考译文：把这一切集合起来，加以提高，市值超越显存的缺点，再加上人类得到拯救的憧憬，永远无求无争，那么你就将有一个闪耀着希望的绚丽光彩的未来。
2.要 点：Silly or wise,terrible or delightful为平行结构，在句中作让步状语。另外，句子的表语也是平行结构，即a further helping of experience,an additional joy after dark,another slice of life。“it seems to me”为插入语，插入到for which引导的定语从句中。
参考译文：不管愚蠢还是聪明，可怕还是愉悦，梦中的生活都是更深一层的另一份体验，是天黑以后才有的另一种欢乐，是生活的另一不同的侧面，对此我似乎觉得怎么感激也不为过。
3.要 点：本句中，形容词短语rich in ideas and beauty作后置定语，修饰book。逗号间的部分“a book that…”是插入语，补充说明a great book。关系代词which引导的是定语从句，修饰名词reading。“reading”在本句中意思是“the act or practice of reading”。
参考译文：但一本思想丰富、文字华美，提出带根本性的重大问题并试图加以回答的杰作，则要求你尽可能进行最积极的阅读。

- Money is a major cause of strife in many marriages.金钱是造成很多婚姻不和的一个主要原因。
- The poor children regularly pony up for a second helping of my hamburger. 那些可怜的孩子们总是要求我把我的汉堡包再给他们一份。
- By doing this, they may at times be helping to restore competition. 这样一来, 他在某些时候,有助于竞争的加强。
- It turned out he had not insured the house sufficiently.原来他没有给房屋投足保险。
- The new policy was sufficiently elastic to accommodate both views.新政策充分灵活地适用两种观点。
