4.There is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive，however lucky and robust we are。
該句分為兩部分：（There is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive, ） （however lucky and robust we are。），第一部分是主句，第二部分是however引導的讓步狀語從句；主句中on...alive是介詞短語，作limit的后置定語，how引導的從句是介詞on的賓語，該從句的主語是we，謂語是can hope to remain，表語是alive；讓步狀語從句的主語是we，謂語是are，表語是lucky and robust。這句話翻譯時也要將從句提前，然后再譯主句。
