Question

翻译和句子分析时遇到麻烦，请求高手相助:)？

请问:
1.这段话中的 a museum/graveyard of design tried, used up and abandoned(一系列动词） 与上半句的Modern History has been 过去完成时的关系。
2.整段话的恰当翻译

个人疑惑点：
1.不知道designs 和后面的tried等动词的关系是什么，tried在这里的翻译意思是什么
2.tried 是要和 has been 连在一起的话，就是 Modern history has been a museum of designs tried in the ongoing war of conquest nature,现代历史是一所被考验的有关设计的博物馆？

“Modern history has therefore been a history of designing and a museum/graveyard of designs tried, used up, rejected and abandoned in the ongoing war of conquest and/or attrition waged against nature.”

谢谢你的回答

A dream means the best wish that we are longing for, the goal that we are striving for, and the drive with which we are steping on,.
我有一个梦想，即，我的父母变老的一天，他们不会有任何疾病、任何痛苦或者任何哀痛。 他们将愉快地居住直到天他们必须动身去另一个世界。 总是有大量阳光在他们的日常生活中。 这是我的梦想，并且它是我最伟大的幸福。
I have a dream that, when my parents get old, they will never suffer any desease, pain or grief. They will live out their life happily with lot of sunshine. It's my dream, which is my greatest happiness.
我有一个梦想，即，我想当一名才高八斗的广告设计师，在大街上，走到哪里都能看到我的广告作品挂满整条街道；每当电视里有了广告人们会目不转睛的欣赏。而后说一句广告时间禁止插播电视剧。而且人们都争先恐后地去收藏我的海报设计。那一刻，你就会觉得多么的欣慰与自豪啊！这是我的梦想，并且它是我最伟大的幸福。
I have a dream that, I wish to be a advertisement designer of brilliant talent. Every street will full of my work, and every family will by dissatisfied to the TV play for interrupting them appreciating my advertisement. How gratified and pride I will feel then! It's my dream, which is my greatest happiness.
梦想像一粒种子，种在“心”的土壤里，尽管它很小，却可以生根开花，假如没有梦想，就像生活在荒凉的戈壁，冷冷清清，没有活力。有了梦想，也就有了追求，有了奋斗的目标，有了梦想，就有了动力。它会催人前进，也许在实现梦想的道路中，会遇到无数的挫折，但没关系，跌倒了自己爬起来，为自己的梦想而前进，毕竟前途是自己创造出来的
A dream is just like a seed planted in the soil of heart. Small though it seems, it could take root and blossom. Without dreams, life is as desolate and cheerless as a desert. Dreams lead to chasing. Dreams lead to striving. Dreams lead to energy. Setbacks are possible in the way of our dream chasing, but it doesn't matter when we have dreams. Get out from under and step on in direction of that dream, and the future is in hand for us to create and design.

Answer 2

1、句子主语是 modern history，谓语动词是（系动词） has been，表语是 a history...and a museum/graveyard.

2、designs 后面的 tried, used up, rejected and abandoned...都是过去分词做后置定语

3、tried等定语是修饰“设计”的，不是修饰博物馆的。

全句意思：

因此，现代历史就是一个（关于）设计的历史，也是一个各种设计的博物馆/墓地，这些设计在（人类）发动的这场仍在持续的征服自然或削弱自然（抑或二者兼有）的战争中被试验、被使用、被拒绝、被抛弃。

为了让你看明白句子的意思，我故意把它分割来翻译，如果你更偏好紧凑的译文，可以自己再调整。
