句子主干是thesetwomenwerepolaropposites;whoseliveswereseparatedintimebynearly1,500years是whose引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句，對thosetwomen進行補充說明。2.Andyettheysharedanintenserespectfornature,whichmadethemeachaninfluentialfigureoftheirtime.然而，他們都非常尊重自然，這使得他們在各自的時代都成為有影響力的人物。

which引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語從句，對respectfornature進行補充說明；3.In405,hequittheserviceofthecourtforgood,expressinghisunhappinessinthenowfamouslinethathewouldnot“bowlikeaservantinreturnforfivedouofgrain”.公元405年，陶淵明辭去了官職，以表達他對仕途的不滿，用今天的一句名言形容就是“不為五斗米折腰”。(1)forgood

永久地，永遠地e.g.Certainjobshavegoneawayforgood,outmodedbymachines.

某些工作因為被機器取代而永遠消失了。(2)現(xiàn)在分詞短語做伴隨狀語；(3)that引導(dǎo)同位語從句，對line進行解釋(4)inreturnfor作為……的回報e.g.Isenthimapresentinreturnforhishelp.我送給他一份禮物以回報他的幫助。4.Fromhispoetry,wecanlearnthatalthoughhislifewasarduous,hesucceededinfindingcontentmentinitssimplicityandindrawingpleasurefromnature.

我們可以從他的詩歌中看出，盡管生活艱苦，但他從這種簡單的生活中成功獲得了滿足感，并從大自然中獲得了樂趣。

(1)that引導(dǎo)賓語從句，although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。

(2)succeedindoingsth.成功做某事e.g.Shesucceededininventingthenewmachine.她成功地發(fā)明了這臺新機器。5.WhileTao'sreturntonaturewasareactiontoalifestylehewasopposedto,Thoreau'swasapersonaldecisiontotransformthewayhelived.

陶淵明回歸大自然是對自己反對的生活方式做出的一種反應(yīng)，而梭羅則是出于個人的決定而改變自己的生活方式。(1)while連接并列分句，表對比，意為“卻；但是；而（用于強調(diào)兩種情況、活動等之間的區(qū)別）”，此處作者是想用對比的方法介紹兩位詩人回歸田園生活的不同初衷。；“hewasopposedto”和“helived”為定語從句，分別修飾lifestyle和way。(2)beopposedto反對……；與……相對

e.g.Hewasstronglyopposedtotheidea.

他堅決反對那個主意。6.IwenttothewoodsbecauseIwishedtolivedeliberately,tofrontonlytheessentialfactsoflife.

我步入?yún)擦?，是因為我希望自由地生活，只面對生活中的基本事實?/p>

7.

AlthoughTaoandThoreaudonottreatnatureinquitethesameway,theirworksshowitsbeautyandvalue.

盡管陶淵明和梭羅對待自然的方式不同，但他們的作品都展現(xiàn)了自然的美麗和價值。Although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。8.Thecalmandpeacefullifehewroteaboutisincontrasttoandcriticalofthedepressivecourtlife:...

他描寫的平靜祥和的生活，與壓抑的官場生活形成鮮明對比，是對壓抑的官場生活的批判：……
