6、It's not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.

【译文】 有些问题连一些最杰出的诗人和哲学家都难以回答,但是想象物体和计算数字模式的能力却能使人找出答案,其中原因并不为人所知。

【析句】 这是一个简单句,It只是形式主语,真正的主语是how引导的主语从句。而在主语从句中,主语是the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns,谓语是suits,宾语是one,to answer questions是宾语补足语,而questions后又跟了一个定语从句。

【讲词】 visualize意为"想象",是imagine的同义词。例如:He had a hard time to visualize the scene as it was described.(他难以设想所描绘的场景。)
elude表示"躲避",也可表示"理解不了,想不起来"。根据句中的意思,可以译为"回答不了"。例如:The answer to this question eluded me for a long time, perhaps because it was so simple.(这个问题的答案我想了许久,也许是因为问题太简单了。)

7、Superhigh scores like vos Savant's are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers, rather than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by 100.

【译文】 再也不可能出现vos Savant测得的智力高分了,因为评分标准是根据同年龄中人口分布统计数据而制定,而不是简单根据时间年龄除以智力年龄,再乘以100。

【讲词】 这句话中包含一些术语,如:scoring(得分,即智力测验的得分),statistical population distribution(人口分布统计),age peers(同龄人),mental age(智力年龄),chronological age(时间年龄或日历年龄)。

8、Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practical knowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success.

【译文】 Sternberg认为传统的测试最能评定分析技能和语言技能,但却无法测定创造力和实际知识,而这些部分对解决问题和人生的成功也起着至关重要的作用。

【析句】 Sternberg是全句的主语,谓语是notes,宾语是that引导的从句。而在从句中,主语是traditional tests,第一个谓语assess接宾语analytical and verbal skills,第二个谓语fail接不定式to measure creativity and practical knowledge,句末的成分作creativity and practical knowledge的同位语。同位语的完整结构是components (that are) also critical to problem solving and life success。

【讲词】 note作动词,可以译为"注意到"或"认为"。类似的动词有observe,maintain,argue,point out等。
assess意为"评估,估定",其名词是assessment。assess的同义词有evaluate,determine,gauge,measure等。
