1It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful, provocative magazine cover story, “I love My Children, I Hate My Life, ” is arousing much chatter – nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience.
主干主语：It；谓语：is；表语：no surprise；真正主语：that从句（cover story is arousing chatter）
结构形式主语It + that引导的主语从句；从句主语为magazine cover story（带双形容词定语及插入书名号同位语），谓语is arousing；破折号后为独立解释句，其中like后接the suggestion，再嵌套that引导的同位语从句说明suggestion内容，anything less than构成比较结构。
译文珍妮弗·西尼尔那篇见解深刻、发人深省的杂志封面故事《我爱我的孩子，我恨我的生活》引发热议，这毫不奇怪——没有什么比暗示养育孩子并非全然充实、 enriching人生的体验更能让人议论纷纷了。

2Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition.
主干主语：Senior；谓语：suggests；宾语：we need to redefine happiness
结构句首Rather than + 动名词短语作状语，内含that宾语从句；主句suggests后接省略that的宾语从句；冒号后instead of…与we should consider…构成对照，something后接that定语从句，being happy作consider的宾语。
译文西尼尔并未断言孩子会让父母幸福或痛苦，而是建议我们重新定义幸福：不要把它看成可用即时快乐来衡量的东西，而应把“幸福”视为一种过去时态的状态。
考点Rather than + doing 置于句首作否定状语 · consider + 宾语 + as 结构，being happy为动名词宾语
3In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation, is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten- killing?
主干主语：it（形式主语）；谓语：is；表语：any wonder；真正主语：that从句
结构介词短语In a society后接that定语从句修饰society；主句为修辞疑问句is it any wonder that…，that从句主语为动名词短语admitting you regret having children（内含省略that的宾语从句），谓语is equivalent to，后再接另一动名词短语。
译文在一个如此执着地赞美生育的社会里，承认自己后悔生孩子就等于承认自己支持虐杀小猫，这有什么好奇怪的呢？
考点is it any wonder that… 修辞疑问，相当于“难怪” · 动名词短语作主语，equivalent to 后接动名词
4Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wonder if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.
主干主语1：Unhappy parents；谓语：are provoked；主语2：unhappy childless folks；谓语：are bothered
结构并列复合句，but连接；前半if引导宾语从句（虚拟语气shouldn't have）；后半with the message后接that同位语从句；冒号后独立分句解释，must be表推测，of短语修饰result。
译文不幸福的父母很少会被激得去想自己是不是不该要孩子，而不幸福的无子女者却不断被灌输“孩子是世上最重要的东西”这一信息：显然，他们的痛苦一定直接源于生活中那个婴儿大小的空洞。

5But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting “the Rachel” might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston.
主干主语：it；谓语：is；表语：interesting；真正主语：to wonder if…
结构形式主语it + to wonder，if引导宾语从句（否定前移aren't contributing）；images后接省略关系代词的定语从句we see every week及of介词短语；in the same way that引导方式状语从句，内含hoped后接宾语从句（getting “the Rachel”作主语）。
译文但有趣的是，我们每周看到的那些毫无压力、提升幸福感的为人父母形象，会不会在某种微小、潜意识的层面上加剧了我们对现实育儿体验的不满——就像我们内心深处曾希望剪个“瑞秋头”就能让自己看起来有那么一点像詹妮弗·安妮斯顿一样。
