It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words, all we can do is articulate our reactions to it, and not grasp music itself.
1.重点词汇及短语：
describe…with… 用……描述……
articulate 【生义】v. 清楚地表达，描述【熟义】adj. 明晰清楚的
reaction n. 反应
grasp v. 理解，领会(尤指复杂的事情或观点)
2.句子成分分析：本句为主从复合句，主干是It is also the reason...。why引导定语从句，解释说明the reason。定语从句中包含了一个时间状语从句when we try to describe music with words。关系副词why引导限定性定语从句，修饰先行词reason， 在定语从句中充当原因状语。例如： He didn’t tell me the reason why he was so upset. 从句引导词选用关系副词why还是关系代词that/which，取决于先行词reason在从句中充当的成分：先行词reason在从句中作副词性成分，应该用why。例如：Please tell me the reason why he was late.(先行词reason在从句中作原因状语);先行词reason在从句中作名词性成分，应该用that/which。例如：Please tell me the reason that/which made him late.(先行词reason在从句中作主语)
Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives, it is perfectly ordinary as you will see that it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions.
1.重点词汇及短语：
mental adj. 精神健康的;精神状态的;思想的
mentally adv. 精神上 mentally ill精神
cure-all 包治百病的良药
perfectly adv. 完全地，十足地;完美地
perfect adj. 完美的;最佳的，理想的
Direct adj. 直接的≠ indirect ;v. 给(某人)指路;指引
direct ... through... 指引……通过……
2.句子成分分析：本句主干为：it is perfectly ordinary...。although引导的是让步状语从句。as引导的是原因状语从句，在这个原因状语从句中，包含一个that引导的宾语从句。引导让步状语从句的从属连词主要的有although，though，even though，even if等。此外，用when 和while也可以引导让步状语从句，意思是“尽管”或“虽然”[举例说明]。例：While I admit his good points, I can see his bad ones. 该句还有一个很难处理的点，through all your difficult decisions. Through表示通过，但是翻译的时候不能硬性插入汉语，根据语境应当隐去其词义，处理成“在你难以做决定时”。
They could still invalidate Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe, urgent circumstances, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not erased or altered while a warrant is pending.
1.重点词汇及短语：
invalidate v. 使无效;证明(信念或解释)是无效的
severe v. 非常严重的;困难的
take reasonable measures to 采取合理的措施去……
warrant n. 令状，许可
pending n. 在等待……之际
2.句子成分分析：本句是一个由and连接的并列句。and前面的主干结构为They could still invalidate Fourth Amendment protections...。when facing severe, urgent circumstances是时间状语从句，由于face的逻辑主语与主句主语一致，因此省略主语和系动词，face用现在分词形式。and之后的句子主干结构为they could take reasonable measures...。to ensure that...pending是目的状语，that引导的从句作ensure的宾语。状语从句中的省略原则是：如果从句主语与主句主语一致，或从句的主语是it，可省略从句的连接词、主语和be动词，只保留分词和其它成分，从而使语言更加简洁明了。比如时间状语中的省略、地点状语中的省略、让步状语从句中的省略等。例如：The river is clean where (it is) deep.
California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumption that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest.
1.重点词汇及短语：
justice n. 司法制度;公正;公正性;justification n. 正当的理由
refrain from 克制;抑制
sweeping adj. 影响广泛的
assumption n. 假定，假设;承担，就任
possession n. 拥有;所有物，财物;in possession of 拥有……
suspect v. 猜测，怀疑;认为(某人)有犯罪嫌疑
【用法】suspect sb of doing sth 怀疑某人做……
2.句子成分分析：本句的主干结构为California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling...。第一个that引导的定语从句修饰one。在该定语从句中，还有一个that引导的同位语从句，解释说明the old assumption。在该同位语从句中，主干结构为authorities may search through the possessions of suspects...。被修饰的词不同：同位语从句一般修饰表示概括意义的抽象名词，如fact,news,truth, hope, promise, answer, belief, condition, doubt等。定语从句所修饰的名词则没有这样的限定。从句的作用不同：同位语从句表示同位名词的具体内容，而定语从句是对先行词的限制、说明。引导词不同：what，how，whether等不能用来引导定语从句，但可用于引导同位从句。
