（5）該句中that 引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句修飾paradox，
有這樣一個(gè)似非而是的論點(diǎn)：造成老年人比率高的真正原因是出生人數(shù)而不是死亡人數(shù)。

句意為：有這樣一條經(jīng)濟(jì)原則：撫養(yǎng)率——即不能賺錢養(yǎng)活自己的人對(duì)能掙錢養(yǎng)家的人的依賴程度——在我們這樣老齡化社會(huì)里比發(fā)展中世界的較年輕社會(huì)里要更有利，因?yàn)榇罅啃枰獡狃B(yǎng)的孩子與大批不能工作的老年人相比，更是一個(gè)負(fù)擔(dān)。
If “revolution” is a rapid resettlement of the social structure， and if the age composition of the society counts as a very important aspect of that social structure， then there has been a social revolution in European and particularly Western European society within the lifetime of everyone over 50.（7）Taken together， these things have implications which are only beginning to be acknowledged.（8）These facts and circumstances were well to the fore earlier this year at a world gathering about aging as a challenge to science and to policy， held at Vichy in France.（9）
（7）句，該句是由兩個(gè)有if 引導(dǎo)的條件從句加上一個(gè)主句。
（8）句中taken together 是一個(gè)過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)作狀語(yǔ)；which 引導(dǎo)一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，修飾前面的名詞implications.
（9）句中about aging as a challenge to science and to policy，和 held at Vichy in France.都是
a world gathering （世界大會(huì)）的后置定語(yǔ)，前者說(shuō)明會(huì)議的主題（老齡化對(duì)科學(xué)與政策的挑戰(zhàn)），后者說(shuō)明會(huì)議的舉辦地點(diǎn)（法國(guó)維希）。
There is often resistance to the idea that it is because the birthrate fell earlier in Western and Northwestern Europe than elsewhere， rather than because of any change in the death rate， that we have grown so old.（10）But this is what elementary demography makes clear. Long life is altering our society， of course， but in experiential terms. We have among us a very much greater experience of continued living than any society that has ever preceded us anywhere， and this will continue.（11）But too much of that lengthened experience， even in the wealthy West， will be experience of poverty and neglect， unless we do something about it.
（10）句的主干結(jié)構(gòu)是 “ There is often resistance to the idea…。” 其中idea有一個(gè)that 引導(dǎo)的同位語(yǔ)從句，而同位語(yǔ)從句本身又是一個(gè)強(qiáng)調(diào)句，即it is …。that … 結(jié)構(gòu)，被強(qiáng)調(diào)的是一個(gè)原因狀語(yǔ)從句。注意此句被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分較長(zhǎng)。

experience of continued living among us than any society that has ever preceded us anywhere，
and this will continue. 由于賓語(yǔ)過(guò)長(zhǎng)，所以將狀語(yǔ)among us 提前。
譯文為： 我們比以前任何一個(gè)社會(huì)更經(jīng)歷著長(zhǎng)壽，這種情況還將繼續(xù)下去。
If you are now in your thirties， you ought to be aware that you can expect to live nearly one third of the rest of your life after the age of 60. The older you are now，of course， the greater this proportion will be， and greater still if you are a woman. Expectation of life is a slippery figure， very easy to get wrong at the highest ages. At Vichy the demographers were telling each other that their estimates of how many old there would be and how long they will live in countries like England and Wales are due for revision upwards.（12）
（12）At Vichy 作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)；從that 到句子結(jié)束是一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句，作謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞tell的賓語(yǔ)；在賓語(yǔ)從句中還含有兩句how 引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句， “ how many old there would be” 和 “ how long they will live in countries like England and Wales”分別作介詞of 的賓語(yǔ)。
due ：應(yīng)付的
