Asked whether any particular papers had impelled the change, McNutt said: "The creation of the 'statistics board' was motivated by concerns broadly with the application of statistics and data analysis in scientific research and is part of Science's overall drive to increase reproducibility in the research we publish.”

2.句子成分分析：
本句的主干是...McNutt said...。分词短语Asked whether...the change作句子的状语。引号中的内容是said的宾语，其主干是The creation of the "statistics board" was motivated...and is part of...。句中的broadly with the application of statistics and data analysis in scientific research解释说明concerns的内容。句中的to increase...we publish解释说明drive的内容，其中we publish是一个省略了that的定语从句，修饰research。作“是……还是……”解时，whether表示一种选择，其后可以跟介词短语或不定式短语。作“是否，会不会”解时，whether可用来引导名词性从句，即主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。引导主语从句时，可用it作形式主语。引导宾语从句时whether可与if换用。
Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives, it is perfectly ordinary as you will see that it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions.
1.重点词汇及短语：
mental adj. 精神健康的;精神状态的;思想的
mentally adv. 精神上 mentally ill精神
cure-all 包治百病的良药
perfectly adv. 完全地，十足地;完美地
perfect adj. 完美的;最佳的，理想的
Direct adj. 直接的≠ indirect ;v. 给(某人)指路;指引
direct ... through... 指引……通过……
2.句子成分分析：
本句主干为：it is perfectly ordinary...。although引导的是让步状语从句。as引导的是原因状语从句，在这个原因状语从句中，包含一个that引导的宾语从句。引导让步状语从句的从属连词主要的有although，though，even though，even if等。此外，用when 和while也可以引导让步状语从句，意思是“尽管”或“虽然”[举例说明]。例：While I admit his good points, I can see his bad ones. 该句还有一个很难处理的点，through all your difficult decisions. Through表示通过，但是翻译的时候不能硬性插入汉语，根据语境应当隐去其词义，处理成“在你难以做决定时”。
3.参考译文：
尽管心理健康是我们生活中的万能药，但它其实非常普通，你会发现在你难以做决定时，它一直在指引着你。

Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firms' political influence, rather than their CSR stand, that accounted for the leniency：Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.
1.重点词汇及短语：

contribute v. 促成，造成(某事发生);捐献，捐助

fine n. 罚金，罚款v. 对……处以罚款
2.句子成分分析：
本句主干：Their analysis ruled out the possibility...。that引导一个同位语从句，同位语从句中的it was... rather than... that...为强调句结构，其中firms' political influence, rather than their CSR stand为强调部分。在这个强调结构中，accounted for为真正的谓语，the leniency为真正的宾语。冒号后面的内容是对前面内容的进一步补充说明。英语中表示强调时有一个很重要的句型，那就是“it is (was)+被强调成分+that (who)+其他”结构。 强调句中的连接词一般为that(可指物，也可指人)或who(指人)。若被强调的是状语，则只能用that ，而不能用when 或者where，且连接词都不能省略。
