Answer 1

1. [分析]這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句，其框架是：Despite the saying that — a person can…and if…in time.主句中主語是a person ,謂語部分是can sometimes feel the bolt coming and if quick enough,take protective action in time ,其中and連接兩個(gè)并歹'J的謂語 feel the bolt coming和take protective action 。

if quick enough 是個(gè)縮略形式的條件狀語從句，補(bǔ)充完整為if he is quick enough ,是take protective action in time的前提條件。

despite the saying…是介詞短語，用作讓步狀語，其中that one never knows if lightning strikes him是the saying的同位語從句，內(nèi)含一個(gè)賓語從句if lightning strikes him。

[譯文]盡管俗話說人們永遠(yuǎn)不知道是否會(huì)遭到閃電的襲擊，但是人們有時(shí)是能感覺到閃電的到來的，并且如果感覺靈敏，就能及時(shí)采取保護(hù)措施。
