1.The last government was brought to breaking point by the looming certainty that senior Hezbollah figures would be held responsible by UN investigators for the assassination of Mr Hariri's father in 2005.

参考翻译：由于黎巴嫩真主党高级人物隐约地被联合国调查人员认为应为2005年前总理的暗杀事件负责，上届政府到达崩溃的边缘。

结构分析：这句话的主干是：The last government was brought to breaking point。by the looming certainty是被动语态的施动者。that senior Hezbollah figures...是certainty的同位语从句。

2.With less than a month to go before the people of Chicago go to the polls to select a new mayor, the Illinois appeals court says Rahm Emanuel's name cannot appear on the ballot because he won't have lived in the city for a year by the time the election takes place on 22 February.

参考翻译：还有不到一个月的时间芝加哥民众就要举行投票选出新的市长，伊利诺伊州上诉法庭表示，伊曼纽尔不能参加选举，因为截止到2月22日选举举行的时候，他还没有在这个城市居住一年的时间。

结构分析：这句话的主语和谓语是：the Illinois appeals court says...With less than a month to go是时间状语从句。Rahm Emanuel's name cannot appear on是宾语从句，说的具体内容。because引导原因状语从句。won't have lived是将来完成时。
