【句子分段】

Teachers may teach very well，|| and more than earn their salaries，|| but most of them make little or no independent reflections on human problems || which involve moral judgment.

【句子分析】

1. 该句为由but链接的并列句。

2. 前半句：they may teach very well, and more than earn their salaries. 其中more than 表“不仅仅、除。。。外”。前半句译为：教师可能擅长教书/教师可能教书教的很好，而且不仅仅是挣工资。

3. 后半句为主谓宾结构：most of them/ make /little or no independent reflections on human problems. 译为：大部分教师很少或没有对人类问题进行独立思考。which involve moral judgment 为定语从句，定语从句较短时，可译为“的”结构，即：涉及到道德判断的。

【词的处理】

more than …不仅仅

make reflections on反思…, 思考…

independent adj. 独立的

【参考译文】

Teachers may teach very well, and more than earn their salaries, but most of them make little or no independent reflections on human problems which involve moral judgment.

教师可能擅长教书，而且不仅仅是在挣工资，但是大部分教师很少或没有对涉及道德判断的人类问题进行独立的思考。

【明日长难句预告】
