句子分析：

(62) We are obliged to them|| because some of these languages have since vanished, ||as the peoples who spoke them died out or became assimilated and lost their native languages.

参考译文：

（62）我们之所以感激他们（两位无驱），是因为在此之后，这些（土著）语言中有一些已经不复存在了，这是由于说这些语言的部族或是消亡了，或是被同化而丧失了自己的本族语言。

详解

这是一个带原因状语从句、定语从句的复合句，其框架结构分析如下：

主句的主、谓、宾结构：We are obliged to them 我们感激他们

原因状语从句：because some of these languages have since vanished---因为自此这些语言中的一部分消失了

原因状语从句（as引导）+定语从句（who引导）：as the peoples who spoke them die d out or became assimilated and lost their native languages ---随着讲它们的人灭亡了或同化了，并且丧失了自己的语言

翻译技巧:

此句的结构并不难掌握，主要是准确表达其中的下面几个措辞：

1）be obliged to感激，感谢某人
极少有人能译对这个词组，多数人根据oblige的常用意思译为“被迫”，“有义务”，都不符原文。这里提醒考生，同样的拼写可能有多种不同的含义。许多人片面追求词汇量，以为达到5000千、6000千词汇就没问题了。其实，词汇的问题比较复杂，除了拼写、基本含义，还有搭配、用法、多重含义等。这些是用词汇表、小字典进行强记所无法解决的。

2）have since vanished从那以后就消失了，不复存在了；此处的since 表示 “从此以后”之意；

since 在这句中是副词，一般人只掌握了其作为连词和介词的用法，而本句since后面只有单词vanished，是谓语的一部分，这难倒了许多人，有的译为“自从消失以后”，有的则译为“自从他们绝种后”，都不正确。可见，词汇的学习除了注意词义，还要留心词性。

die out 灭绝，完全的灭亡（cease living completely; become extinct）；不宜译作 “死亡，消失”。

Do one thing at a time, and do well.
一次只做一件事，做到最好！
