【句式翻译】西班牙流感在十八个月内夺去了五千万人的生命，该病似乎专门袭击年轻力壮的人，而不是老迈长者，被认为是历史上最严重的一次传染病。
【句式分析】本句是简单句，包含有一个句式：be believed to do/be 被认为做……/是……，Having killed…在句中作状语，to strike…作定语，修饰tendency。

【句式翻译】我不知道您对伦敦有什么期望，但我知道您从未到过亚洲以外的地方旅行，所以，我想告诉你一点关于你期望找到的东西。
【句式分析】本句是有并列连词but连接的复合句,同时包含有四个从句，what your
expectations are…，that you’ve never travelled…，I’d tell you和what you can…都是宾语从句；knowing…和to find…在句中分别作主语和宾语。
【词语点拨】expect v.期望；预期

如果你要做能力达不到的事，就别指望成功。

It is useless doing…做……没用
It is worthwhile doing…做……是值得的

②如果doing有自己的逻辑主语，doing前可以用形容词性的物主代词或名词所有格来修饰。如：
Tom’s/his coming late made the manager very angry.
汤姆/他来晚了让经理很生气。
③to do和doing做主语的区别：to do常表示具体的某一动作; doing表示泛指或一般的抽象的概念时，多用动名词。如：

骑自行车是很好的运动; 而且还不污染环境。
2）不定式to do作宾语：具体用法参见第27句。

【句式翻译】摆脱负面的自我形象的最好办法是意识到你的形象远远不是客观的，同时主动地使你相信自己的积极的品质。
【句式分析】本句是复合句，that your image is…是宾语从句，to get rid of…在句中作定语，to realize… 和to actively convince…是并列成分，作表语。
【词语点拨】far from 远离；远非，远远不是
The work he did yesterday is far from perfect.
他昨天做的的工作远非十全十美。
Far from relieving my cough, the medicine made it worse.
这药非但不镇咳，反而使我咳嗽得更厉害。
2）convince vt. 使信服；常用于以下结构：
①convince sb of sth 使某人相信某事。如：

你需要让你的老板相信你有做这份工作的能力。
②convince sb to do 说服某人做某事

我用了很长时间才说服他和我一起去。
③convince sb+that从句 使某人相信

我设法使朋友相信我不想伤害他。
【语法点拨】1）不定式to do作定语：具体用法参见第19句。
2）不定式to do作表语：
① 说明主语的具体内容。如：
My only wish is to do something for the public.
我唯一的愿望是为公众做些事。
② 表示不可避免将要发生的事。如：
The discovery is to have a great effect on our life.
这个发现将对我们的生活产生重大影响。
③不定式作表语，且主语部分有all, what, only或是最高级形容词修饰的名词和实义动词do时，作表语的不定式可省去to。如：

现在你所需要的是好好休息。
