tests

work

mosteffectively

when…and

effectively

when…。

and連接兩個并列分句，每個并列分句中皆有一個

when引導的時間狀語從句分別說明work

mosteffectively和and（work）least

effectively。第二個時間狀語從句中還有一個主語從句

what…predicted。the

tests是主句的主語，work為動詞做謂語。qualities在此處是可數(shù)名詞，不譯為

“質(zhì)量”，而譯為“特征”。defined不能直譯為“被定義為”，而應(yīng)譯為主動語態(tài)“界定”。譯文：一般來說，當所需要測定的特征能被精確界定時，測試最為有效;而當所測定或

的東西不能被明確界定時，測試效果

。

had

no

knowledge…,and

hisinfluence…was

notgood.。and連接兩個并列的分句。as

such做The“shareholder”的定語，

employed

by

the

company

in

which

he

heldshares是過去分詞短語作定語，修飾workmen，分詞短語中含有in

which

heheldshares定語從句，修飾company。譯文：這樣的股東，對他擁有股份的公司里所雇用的工人們的生活、思想和需求一無所知，他們對勞資雙方的關(guān)系，也不會產(chǎn)生積極的影響。Now

a“valid”or“fair”comparison.結(jié)構(gòu)分析:句子的主干是we

must

besure…。since引導原因狀語從句the

assessment

ofin ligence

is

a

comparativematter。主句中又有that引導的賓語從句that

the

scale

withwhich

we

are

our

subjectsprovidesa“valid”or“fair”comparison。此賓語從句中又套嵌一個由介詞with+which引導的定語從句with

which

we

are

comparing

oursubjects修飾先行詞the

scale。scale在此處意為“尺度、衡量標準”。譯文：既然對智力的評估相比較而言的，那么須確保，在對的對象進行比較時，所用的尺度能夠提供“有效的”或“公平的”比較。
