12.Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass (the amount of living biological matter) of fish species in particular parts of the ocean, but rather changes in that biomass over time.
【主干识别】Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass but changes.
【其他成分】括号中的内容对biomass进行解释和说明;of speciesin particular parts of the ocean做后置定语修饰biomass in that biomass over time后置定语修饰changes
【难点揭秘】estimate的宾语为the actual biomass changes的并列,并列连词为but , 在阅读的过程中往往 会由于长定语的分割而产生阅读的障碍;
【译文赏析】他们的研究方法并不是想估计出某些特定地区鱼类的实际生物量(活的生物总量),而是估计出这些生物量随着时间发生的变化。
【翻译点拨】多个定语在修饰着changes因此顺序应该做符合中文习惯的调整。

【微观解析】同位语goals 被定语从句修饰;

【其他成分】that is irrelevant 修饰 the 98percent; focusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd. 现在分词短语作状语,focus 的动作发出者就是句子主语human mind
【微观解析】the monkey or the single suspicious face focus on 的并列宾语

【译文赏析】审查者完全有理由相信,知道自己准备做什么、怎么做的科学家不应该因为必须一只眼盯着收银机,另一只眼盯着显微镜而分散了注意力。
【翻译点拨】by短语在句子中是充当状语,翻译为原因,where they are going and how they will get there处理为知道做什么,知道怎么做,这样的表达符合中文的习惯。如果直接翻译为:知道他们要去哪里和怎么去,就是对于字面含义的翻译。属于死译。

Pluff! A hundred and eighty-five kilograms."
【主干识别】 it is a little upsetting to read that+宾语从句and then to find that+宾语从句;形式主语句,句子主语为 to read and to find.在主语中带有两个动词不定式中的宾语从句;
