1He had such a pleasant, readable style that one might think that anyone could imitate it.
主干主语:He;谓语:had;宾语:such a pleasant, readable style that one might think that anyone could imitate it
结构这是一个复合句。主句是He had such a pleasant, readable style,宾语是such a pleasant, readable style,后面接that引导的结果状语从句one might think that anyone could imitate it,其中包含一个宾语从句that anyone could imitate it。such...that结构表示程度,强调风格的优美。readable是并列形容词修饰style。句子包含主从句嵌套,结构复杂,容易被误认为简单句。
译文他拥有如此愉悦且易读的风格,以至于人们可能会认为任何人都会模仿它。

2James Herriot, contrary to popular opinion, did not find it easy in his early days of, as he put it, “having a go at the writing game”.
主干主语:James Herriot;谓语:did not find;宾语:it easy in his early days of, as he put it, “having a go at the writing game”
结构这是一个简单句,但包含多个插入语。主语James Herriot,谓语did not find,宾语it easy in his early days of...。contrary to popular opinion是插入语,修饰主句。as he put it也是插入语,引述他自己的话。of后面跟动名词短语having a go at the writing game,表示从事写作的早期。句子看似简单,实则插入语多,容易误解。
译文詹姆斯·赫里奥特与流行观点相反,在他早年从事写作游戏的时期,并没有觉得容易,正如他自己所说。

3While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent, the final, polished work that he gave to the world was the result of years of practicing, re-writing and reading.
主干主语:the final, polished work that he gave to the world;谓语:was;表语:the result of years of practicing, re-writing and reading
结构这是一个复合句。主句the final, polished work that he gave to the world was the result of years of practicing, re-writing and reading,其中that he gave to the world是定语从句修饰work。While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent是让步状语从句,表明虽然有天赋但作品是多年努力的结果。polished是过去分词作形容词。句子有让步从句和定语从句,结构复杂。
译文虽然他显然拥有丰富的自然天赋,但他给予世界的最终精炼作品却是多年练习、重写和阅读的结果。

译文就像大多数作者一样,他必须经历许多失望和拒绝,但这些让他更加坚定地取得成功。
