【长难句解析】
1.Also imagine what it would be like spending the rest of your life with you eyes closed
【翻译】也要想象闭着眼睛度过余生会是什么样子。
【分析】本句句子结构比较复杂，首先动词imagine后面有一个宾语从句what it would be like….；在这个从句中what既充当引导词也在句中做like的宾语。句中的it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动名词短语spending the rest of your life with you eyes closed，主语中含有with you eyes closed这个with复合结构。
2. ORBIS has taught sight-saving techniques to over 35,000 doctors and nurses, who continue to cure tens of thousands of blind people every year.
【翻译】ORBIS已经把保护视力的技巧教给了35000多名医生和护士，这些医生和护士每年都继续治愈成千上万的盲人。
【分析】本句中含有一个非限制性定语从句who continue tens of thousands of blind people every year。其中的关系代词who指代先行词，在句中做主语。
