Traditionally, legal learning has been viewed in such institutions as the special preserve of lawyers, rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person.(2007年翻译46题)
一、第一步：寻标志，断长句
首先，第一步我们需要将我们当然还是要进行断句。按照之前给大家讲解的断句顺序：1、逗号;2、连词;3、短语。我们可以将上边的句子进行如下划分如下：Traditionally, /legal learning has been viewed in such institutions as the special preserve of lawyers, /rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person.
二、第二步：抓主干，识修饰
其次，我们可以把句子的主干找出来。按照之前给大家讲解的寻找主干的方式，我们很容易找到句子的主干就是：legal learning has been viewed as the special preserve of lawyers.
剩下的就是我们的修饰成分：Traditionally, /legal learning has been viewed in such institutions as the special preserve of lawyers, /rather than a necessary part of the intellectual equipment of an educated person. 修饰成分均为状语，所以按照我们讲解的状语的翻译原则，我们需要把第二个状语调整到谓语的前边翻译。
三、第三步：调语序，定句意
接下来我们就可以按照刚才我们划分的一个个小部分，逐个部分去翻译了。①Traditionally 译成：长久以来;②legal learning has been viewed in such institutions as the special preserve of lawyers 译成：法律学习在这类学校里一直被视为律师们特有的行为(所专有的);③and more probably to the moral character. 译成：而不是一个受教育者的知识素养的必要组成部分。
四、第四步：依逻辑，组整句
最后我们看一看有没有需要调整语序的部分，然后把句子连接到一起就可以了。译文：长久以来，法律学习在这类学校里一直被视为律师们特有的行为(所专有的)，而不是一个受教育者的知识素养的必要组成部分。
