【难句】1. Not only does a green thing look different from a red thing, remind us of other green things and inspire us to say, That s green ， but it also actually looks green: it produces an experience of sheer greenness that isn t reducible to anything else.
【结构分析】 该句子中，逗号前表示否定的词not only放在句首，使用了部分倒装。正常语序为：a green thing looks not only different from a red thing，reminds us of other green things and inspires us to say, That s green 。这是并列了三个谓语。but之后为递进部分，but it also actually looks green ，其中冒号后为具体的解释说明，并且这里包含一个定语从句that isn t reducible to anything else，关系代词that指代先行词sheer greenness，在从句中作主语。
【参考译文】一件绿色的东西不仅仅看起来与红色的东西不同，使我们想起其他绿色的东西并刺激我们说： 那是绿色 ，而且它确实看起来是绿色的：它产生了一个完全的绿色的经验，那不能简化成任何其他事情。
【难句】2. Clever though this is, it is just a stepping stone towards the direct incorporation of fuel cells into portable devices and, in particular, laptops the application that remains the industry s Holy Grail.
