whatever company, they may find persons and conversations more or less pleasing. At whatever table , they may find meat and drink of better or worse taste, dishes better or worse prepared.
要點：這兩句爲對偶句，結構工整。 In whatever company 意爲"無論和什麼人交往"不要誤以爲"不論在什麼公司". persons and conversations的定語後置。同樣道理meat and drink，dishes 也都帶有後置定語。
參考譯文：無論和什麼人交往，他們會發現有些人、有些談話討人喜歡，而有些則不然。同樣，無論吃什麼飯，酒和肉總有可口的和不可口的，菜餚的烹調亦總有優劣之分。
workers stay at jobs they are too old for rather than face possible rejection.
要點：they are too old for是定語從句修飾er than 前後爲相同的語法成分即stay 和 face.

we remember with far greater pain that we did not see that beauty when it flowered, that we failed to respond with love when it was tendered.
要點：remember 後面有兩個並列的賓語從句，一個是that we did not see……，另一個是that we failed to……。 由於介詞短語with far greater pain 的分隔和兩個賓語從句又各帶了一個狀語從句，而使全句的結構變得較爲複雜。
參考譯文：可是，我們更痛苦的.回憶是，我們沒有看見鮮花怒放時的美麗，沒有在別人對我們施以愛之時也以愛回報。
intentional termination of life of one human being by another - mercy killing (安樂死) - is contrary to that for which the medical profession stands and is contrary to the policy of the American Medical Association.

them all together, exalt(提高)them above their present imperfections, add to them the vision of humankind redeemed, forever free of need and strife(爭議)and you have a future lighted with the radiant colors of hope.
要點：此句的主幹是一個由and 連接的並列結構。第一部分有幾個並列祈使句組成，第二部分是一個完整的主謂結構，全句主幹即"Put…exalt…，forever free … strife and you have a future…colors of hope.由於第一部分並列祈使句較長而第二部分較短，而且連接兩部分的and前面有存在着另外一個and(need and strife)從而致使句子的結構較複雜，不易看出主幹的並列結構。
參考譯文：把這一切集合起來，加以提高，使之超越現存的缺點，再加上人類得到拯救的憧憬，永遠無求無爭，那麼你將有一個閃耀着希望的絢麗多彩的未來。

要點：此句爲一個多層次的並列結構，“by” 以前的部分爲句子的主體部分，由“and”連接的兩個並列的分句組成。第二個分句的主語和一部分謂語省略了以避免重複。In doing so可以理解爲in the process of distinguished themselves from other animals.第二個分局的完整句子應爲and in doing so (they have) ensured their 所引導的短語裏ability帶了多個動詞不定式做修飾，這些不定式又存在着一個並列的結構，to observe and (to) understand與either……or引導的to adapt to……，to control and (to) adapt it……得並列，and連接。
