Many of life’s problems which were solved by asking family members, friends or colleagues are beyond the capacity of the extended family to resolve.(1995 text)
要想理解句子的含义必须缕清句式，抓主干，去枝叶。那在捋顺的这个过程中，划分意群就显得特别重要。本句话Many of life’s problems是主语部分，后面出现which从句到那结束呢?如果没有and等连词出现的情况下，第二个动词即为主句的谓语动词，所以are是主干的谓语动词，are后面是beyond引导的介宾短语部分。那回头看一下which引导的是什么从句，经分析which指代前面problems，所以，为定语从句。这样结构就照清楚了。接下来就可以直接翻译为：许多过去曾经可以通过询问家庭成员，朋友和同事可以解决的生活问题，现在已经超出了大家庭可以解决的范围。(大家一定要切记汉语没有时态，但是英语是有时态的，所以，翻译过程中一定要把握到位)

But, for a small group of students, professional training might be the right way to go since well developed skills, all other factors being equal, can be the difference between having a job or not.(1999 text3)
划分句子时，要注意几大标志，如连词，介宾短语，标点符号，非谓语动词等等，这些因素都可以有效的帮助我们划分句子。For后加名词短语构成介宾短语，所以后 professional training为主干主语，might be为主句谓语动词部分，way为表语。到此，主句已经画出来了。Since引导原因状语从句，since句中两逗号之间all other factors being equal是独立主格为插入语。此句就可以翻译为：对于一部分同学来说，职业训练可能是一条正确之路，因为在其他条件相同的情况下，拥有良好的职业技能对于找工作来讲是截然不同的。
