5. Early promise to end Indian tribute and taxes on people of mixed orgin came much slower because the new nations still needed the revenue such policies produced.
【分析】多重復合句。主句主干為 Early promise came much slower。不定式結構 to end ... mixed origin 作 promises 的后置定語; because 引導原因狀語從句，其中包含省略了引導詞的定語從句 such policies produced，該定語從句修飾 revenue。
【譯文】先前結束印第安人納貢和停止向混血人種征稅的承諾實現起來就緩慢得多，因為這些新興國家仍然這些政策帶來的財政收入。
6. Egalitarian sentiments were often tempered by fears that the mass of the population was unprepared for selfrule and the democracy.
【分析】復合句。主句主干為 Egalitarian sentiments were often tempered。that 引導的同位語從句，補充說明 fears。
【譯文】平等主義的情緒常常因為太擔心大眾對自治和民主還未做好準備而有所緩解。
【點撥】temper 的名詞含義為“情緒；性情；脾氣”，作動詞的含義為“鍛煉；調劑；緩和”。本句中即意為“調劑；緩和”。
