On the other hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning.
译文2:另一方面,他不接受一些批评者的指责(0.5分),即:他有良好的观察能力,但推理方面能力有限(1分)。他不接受这种没有根据的指责(0.5分)。
译文1:另一方面,一些他的批评者指责他虽然善于观察,但不具备推理能力,他不接受/承认这种指控是有根据的。
【结构解析】
1. 本句主干为主谓宾宾补结构,即:he /did not accept/ the charge/ as well founded. 但是由于the charge后面的修饰成分太长,所以本句as well founded作为宾补就前置了。
再次提示各位同学:翻译要舍得放弃,就拿这句话为例,如果你的注意全被as well founded 给绊住了,其他简单送分的部分就忽视了。能帮你得分的,一定是你会的部分,而不是你搞不明白的部分。
2. made by some of his critics 为后置定语修饰the charge; that引导同位语从句解释说明the charge 的内容。
3.that while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning. 同位语从句中由while引导的让步状语从句,译为:尽管他善于观察,但不具备推理能力。
4. 当修饰成分较长时,可单独处理成句子(见译文1)
