1.Now that a man can carry in a bag a bomb that is more powerful than several battleships, it is hard to find out what any country can do or will do next.

【難句解析】now that在這里意為because of the fact that“由于，既然”，引導原因狀語。that is more powerful than several battleships為定語從句，修飾bomb。在it is hard to find out what any country can do or will do next中，it為形式主語，不定式短語to find out...next為真正主語。

2.He thought of war simply as an opportunity for cavalry charges and fine uniforms and glory.

【難句解析】Our minister considered war just as charging on horseback and wearing neat uniforms with impressive appearance.
