问题描述
I have excluded him because,while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems,he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems
这句话主要是后半句如何理解？not...any but结构意思？
老师答疑
刘老师：
I have excluded him because, while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems, he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems.
【翻译】我已把他排除在外，因为虽然他的本领可能有助于解决道德问题，但他除了研究那些问题的基本面以外，尚未承担起处理任何问题的任务。
【分析】
1. I have excluded him：主句。“我已把他排除在外”，意味着“我不用他，我不接纳他。”
2. because, while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems, he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems：原因状语从句。
3. 在原因状语从句中，包含一个while引导的让步从句，while=though。
4. be charged with the task：承担任务。
5. approach：1.处理；2.研究。
在本句中，第一个approaching any翻译成“处理任何问题”比较好。谓语动词是否定has not been charged，所以any表示否定意思。
第二个approaching 跟the factual aspects of those problems搭配时，译为“除了研究那些问题的基本面以外”比较好。
6. but：介词，意为“除了”，与否定词连用，等于except。如：
He brought us nothing but trouble. 等于：
He did not bring us anything but trouble.
除了麻烦外，他什么也没我们带来。
（他只给我们带来了麻烦）。
