Answer 1

你好！
我觉着应该把句子调整一下更好。
It says that tropical storms formerly claimed dozens of lives, if not hundreds， each year in cuba。它（据报道）说，在古巴以往每年的热带风暴夺走了，如果不是数百，至少几十人的生命。
it 主语
tropical storms formerly claimed dozens of lives, if not hundreds， each year in cuba。宾语从句。
tropical storms 从句主语
claimed 从句谓语
dozens of lives 从句宾语
formerly，each year， in cuba。从句状语
if not hundreds 插入语，宾语补足语。
以上仅供参考！

Answer 2

stand 在这里是“忍受”
翻译如下：
父母们经常面临两难境地：一方面他们认为孩子可以做有利于孩子发展的事，另一方面他们却难以忍受孩子们自由玩耍所制造的噪音和破坏。
