[句子分析]        

[译文]        

Answer 1

1. [分析]这是一个复合句，其框架是：Despite the saying that — a person can…and if…in time.主句中主语是a person 谓语部分是can sometimes feel the bolt coming and if quick enough take protective action in time 其中and连接两个并歹'J的谓语 feel the bolt coming和take protective action 。

if quick enough 是个缩略形式的条件状语从句，补充完整为if he is quick enough 是take protective action in time的前提条件。

despite the saying…是介词短语，用作让步状语，其中that one never knows if lightning strikes him是the saying的同位语从句，内含一个宾语从句if lightning strikes him。

[译文]尽管俗话说人们永远不知道是否会遭到闪电的袭击，但是人们有时是能感觉到闪电的到来的，并且如果感觉灵敏，就能及时采取保护措施。
