1．Oftenworkingatnight，thepoachersshootwholeherdsofantelopesatatime，leavingonlythebabies，whosewoolisnotworthsomuch.
[句式分析] 本句是一个复合句。
Oftenworkingatnight是现在分词短语作伴随状语；leavingonlythebabies是现在分词短语作结果状语；whose引导非限制性定语从句，修饰thebabies。
[自主翻译] 那些偷猎者常常在夜里出动，一次就捕杀掉整群的藏羚羊，只留下那些毛不怎么值钱的幼崽。
2．Thesmallgroupofofficialswhoworkinthereservearehelpedbyvolunteerswhocomefromalloverthecountry，andwhoarereadyforthedifficultconditionsoflifeat5,000metres.
[句式分析] 本句中含有三个who引导的定语从句，第一个从句修饰officials，第二个和第三个从句由并列连词and连接，修饰volunteers，who在从句中都作主语。
[自主翻译] 工作在保护区的一小群政府官员们得到了来自全国各地的、愿意忍受海拔5000米恶劣生活环境的志愿者们的支持。
