3. Although the figure way vary, analysts1 do agree on another matter: that the number of the homeless is increasing.
【分析】复合句。句子主干为 analysts do agree on another matter,其中用 do 来加强语气。although 引导让步状语从句;冒号后的 that 从句为同位语从句,对 another matter 加以解释说明。
【译文】尽管人们估计的数字可能不尽相同,分析家们对另一个问题的意见却是一致的:无家可归者的人数在增加。
4. Even when homeless individuals manage to find a shelter that will give them three meals a day and a place to sleep at night, a good number still spend the bulk of the day wandering the street.
【分析】多重复合句。句子主干为 a good number still spend the bulk of the day wandering the street。 Even when 引导让步状语从句,该从句中又包含了一个 that 引导的定语从句,修饰限定 a shelter。
【译文】即使无家可归者找到了庇护所,白天有三餐,晚上有地方睡,还是会有很多人每天大部分时间在街头流浪。
【点拨】1) bulk 作名词时,常用意为“体积,数量,容量(尤指巨大的)”或“主要部分,大部分”,此时常用短语有:in bulk “大量”。作动词时,意为“变得越来越大(或重要)”;此时常用短语有:bulk large“显得重要;突出”,bulk sth. out “使某物更大或更厚”。2) spend time/money in doing sth. 花费时间/金钱做某事。
