翌日，环球阵营内
全营将士全副武装
主帅、军师们列于队伍前列
将士们，这些时日，我们经历了诸多挫折与磨难，但你们从未言过放弃，坚持训练、演练，无论多艰辛都咬紧牙关挺过来，现在的你们是全新的、能阅州军一战的士兵，今日，你们必能战胜他们，取得胜利。
瞬间，士气高涨，呐喊声响彻云霄。
众将士听令！出发！
阅州城城下，阅州众多军团集结
镇守大将坐镇于城墙之上
一阵阵战鼓声中，双方正式交锋

In the long term, photography's impact on the visual arts was far from simple. Because the medium was so prolific, in the sense that it was possible to produce a multitude of images very cheaply, it was soon treated as the poor relation of fine art, rather than its destined successor. Even those artists who were most dependent on photography became reluctant to admit that they made use of it, in case this compromised their professional standing.

例句分析
Because the medium was so prolific, in the sense that it was possible to produce a multitude of images very cheaply, it was soon treated as the poor relation of fine art, rather than its destined successor.
1because the medium was so prolific：

整个从句译为“因为媒介如此多”。
2 sense that it was possible to produce a multitude of images very cheaply：

3 the poor relation of fine art：
介词 + 名词 = 介词短语，构成后置定语④（详见第一回：初探军情）形式，修饰relation，表“...的替代物”。
译为“艺术品的廉价替代物”。
Even those artists who were most dependent on photography became reluctant to admit that they made use of it, in case this compromised their professional standing.
1artists who were most dependent on photography：

段落大意一
从长远来看，摄影术对视觉艺术的影响远不是那么简单。因为媒介如此多，从这种意义上来说，廉价的生产大量影响就很有可能了，所以摄影术很快就被当作是艺术品廉价的替代物，而不是命定的接替物。甚至是那些最依赖摄影术的艺术家们也都不愿意承认他们使用过摄影术，以防万一这会损害到他们的专业地位。
段落选取二
Many Roman pots, in particular amphorae and the fine wares designed for use at tables, could travel hundreds of miles - all over the Mediterranean and also further afield. But maps that show the various spots where Roman pottery of a particular type has been found tell only part of the story. What is more significant than any geographical spread is the access that different levels of society had to good-quality products.

2where Roman pottery of a particular type has been found：

很多罗马陶罐，尤其是双耳陶罐和被设计用于餐桌上的餐具可能被运送了几百英里，遍及了整个地中海以及更远的地方。但是显示出特殊罗马陶器所被发现的那些不同地方的地图只讲述了故事的一部分内容。比地理上广阔分布更重要的是社会的不同阶层都能拥有使用这种高质量陶罐的机会。
