1.And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple mindedness as he sees it-of citizens, social workers, doctors law-makers, and judges, who, instead of eliminating crime punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform.
[语法难点]：句子的主语是separation，谓语是is deepened。the detective feels是修饰separation的定语从句，介词短语between himself and?也是修饰separation的定语，这两个定语造成了主谓分隔。as引导的句子是方式状语从句;介词短语of citizens, social workers?是mindedness的定语;who引导的定语从句修饰前面的五个名词;that引导的定语从句修饰hope。
[句子翻译]：警察认为由于人们(市民、社会工作者、医生、立法人员以及法官)头脑简单——比如，法官不是重罚以消除犯罪而是量刑从轻以期促使罪犯改过自新——使得他们(警察)与社会之间的隔阂更深一层。
2.Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools.
[语法难点] 这段话并不难理解，主要涉及到几项并列结构以及定语从句，which 引导的非限制性定语从句修饰hypocritical spectacles，who引导的定语从句修饰the publisher，advocating是journalist的后置定语，whose引导的非限制性定语从句也修饰前面的journalist。
[句子翻译] 相反，我们被款待看到这样一些虚伪的壮观景象，他们似乎比以前的任何时候都更供应充足：美国式物质主义的批判者却拥有位于南安普顿的避暑山庄：激进书籍的出版商却在三星级餐厅享用一日三餐;倡导在人生各个阶段的参与民主制的记者，他的子女却就读于私立学校。
3.There was still the faith that ordinary men are greater than the powers of nature or the mechanisms of man’s hands and will master them all in the end.
[语法难点] that引导的句子是faith的同位语，them指代前面的the powers of nature以及the mechanisms of man’s hands。
[句子翻译] 仍然具有这种信念，普通人的力量要比自然的力量或人类造出来的机器更伟大，而且最终会控制它们。
