[第2~3段译文],今年的会议将会作为一次历史性的会议留在人们的记忆中,因为非洲问题将是本届会议详细讨论的问题。
非洲普遍的贫困意味着那里的很多人不能得到他们需要的饮用水、衣服、住所、电力及教育。
艾滋病是人们极为关注的另一个问题,所以性教育和保健管理非常重要。
全世界的人们都要求改革。
他们希望这些国家的领导人取消非洲最贫困国家的债务,以防止那个地区的问题再恶化。
他们坚信,这是使许多非洲国家摆脱痛苦过去的唯一出路。

Studyreading
Analyzethefollowingdifficultsentencesinthetext.
1.WidespreadpovertyinAfricameansthatmanypeopletherecannotgetthewater,clothing,housing,electricityoreducationtheyneed.
[句式分析] 本句为主从复合句。
that引导宾语从句;theyneed为定语从句,修饰前边的几个名词。
[尝试翻译] 非洲普遍的贫困意味着那里的很多人不能得到他们需要的饮用水、衣服、住所、电力及教育。
2.TheywanttheleaderstocancelthedebtofAfrica’spoorestcountriessothattheproblemstherecanbepreventedfromgettinganyworse.
[句式分析]
[尝试翻译] 他们希望这些国家的领导人取消非洲最贫困国家的债务,以防止那个地区的问题再恶化。
3.PrinceWilliam,whoisnowinNewZealand,saidhewasdelightedthatthe2012OlympicGameswouldbeheldinLondonandhewaslookingforwardtotheGames.
[句式分析] 本句为主从复合句。
其中,who引导的是一个非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词PrinceWilliam;hewasdelighted...是宾语从句,作said的宾语,省略了that。
在这个宾语从句中又含有that引导的宾语从句(也可认为原因状语从句),跟在形容词delighted后面。
该句中最后一个and连接前后两个并列分句。
[尝试翻译] 正在新西兰的威廉王子说,他很高兴伦敦将主办2012年奥运会,他期待着奥运会的到来。
