　　今天的句子:

　　原文

　　It is during the nine years from the twelfth birthday to the twenty-first that the protective and restrictive aspects of childhood and minor status are removed and adult privileges and responsibilities are granted.

　　翻译

　　正是在12岁至21岁这9年期间，孩子们童年和未成年身份受到的保护和约束消失了，然后被赋予成人的权利和责任。

　　解读

　　Step 1: 谓语动词is, are, are

　　Step 2: 连接词that, and

　　1)句子的主句为：It is during the nine years from the twelfth birthday to the twenty-first that…,此处，it is… that为强调句，强调时间状语。

　　2)That后面是两个并列的句子，第一个：the protective and restrictive aspects of childhood and minor status are removed，为被动语态，主语较长，为A（the protective and restrictive aspects）of B（childhood and minor status）的结构。

　　3)第二个句子adult privileges and responsibilities are granted同样为被动结构，翻译时可主动化翻译：受到，得到，此处也可以直接翻译为被动，依然符合中文的习惯。
