2. Theories centering on the individual suggest that children engage incriminal behavior because they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through interation with others.
【分析】多重復合句。句子主干為 Theories...suggest that...or that...，兩個 that 引導兩個并列的從句作 suggest 的賓語，由 連or 接。分詞結構 centering on...是 Theories 的后置定語；第一個賓語從句中，children engage in criminal behavior 為句子主干，后跟 because 引導的原因狀語從句；第二個賓語從句中，through interation with others 為方式狀語。
【譯文】強調個人因素的理論認為兒童的犯罪行為是因為他們曾經的惡習未得到應有的懲治，或是由于受別人影響而學會了犯罪。
【點撥】1) engage (sb.) in sth.“參加某事；從事某事”。2) misdeed“違法行為，犯罪”。
【臨摹】你必須非常認真地對待你所從事的工作。
3. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in response to their failure to rise above their socioecomonic status, or as a rejection of middle-class value.
【分析】復合句。句子主干為 Theories...suggest that...，that 引導賓語從句。 focusing on the role of society 為現在分詞結構作后置定語，修飾 Theories。 賓語從句的主干為 children commit crimes。
【譯文】強調社會因素的理論認為兒童的犯罪行為是因為他們未能如愿地提高自己的社會經濟地位，或者是因為排斥中產階級的價值觀。
