1.The White House says President Obama’s proclamation of a national emergency will give medical officials more freedom to tackle the virus, allowing them to bypass certain federal requirements when deciding what action to take.

参考翻译：白宫表示，奥巴马总统对全国紧急状态命令的宣布将给予医疗工作者在应对H1N1病毒方面更大的自由空间，允许他们在决定采取什么措施时忽视某些联邦要求。

结构分析：这句话的主语和谓语是The White House says，后面是宾语从句。宾语从句的主干是：proclamation will give medical officials more freedom……allowing them to是现在分词做结果状语。when deciding what action to take如果是按照正常的时间或条件状语从句，应该是When they decide what……当从句的主语和谓语动词之间是主动的关系时，可以将主语省略，用when doing形式。

2.A Saudi Arabian court has sentenced a female journalist to 60 lashes for her part in producing a television program, in which a Saudi man broke a major taboo in the deeply conservative country by describing his extra-marital sex life.

参考翻译：一名沙特阿拉伯女记者因其制作的电视节目被法庭判处鞭笞60下。在该节目中，一名沙特男子描述了他的婚外性经验，严重触犯了这个极度保守的国家的禁忌。

结构分析：这句话的前半部分是主干。in which是定语从句，which代表的是Program，这里的In不能省略，要保持句子结构的完整性。by describing his extra-marital sex life是详细说明怎样违反禁忌。

3.It said it would only return to negotiations after direct talks with the US.

参考翻译：平壤方面表示，只有在与美国进行直接对话之后才会重返谈判。

结构分析：只有在……条件下才会重返会谈。
