Question

谁能帮我翻译一下这段话以及这段话的语法结构？

一句话 居然还说有违法内容，我就擦他妈的了，
THE steamengine having furnished us with a means of converting heat into a motive power, and our thoughts being thereby led to regarda certain quantity of workasan equivalent for the amount of heat expended in its production,

Answer 1

随着蒸汽机使我们能够把热能转化为动力，也因此让我们认为一定量的工作与完成工作所耗费的热能是一样的，
这两小段并列构成一句话中的状语
（省略with）the steam engine (having furnished us with a means of converting heat into a motive power=doing sth.)，(省略了with）our thoughts (being led to regard a certain quantity of work as an equivalent for the amount of heat expended in its production=doing sth.)，两个并列成分做条件状语的

其中使用的语法结构是，
1.主干结构上的with sb. /sth. doing sth.
正过来这两句话就是the steam engine has furnished us with.......
our thoughts are led to ......
因为要用来做状语，所以不能写成主谓宾结构，而是改写成with sth. doing sth.
例句：因为我爹有钱了，我就不用打工了。with my father getting wealthy, i don't have to do part-time job anymore.
2.expended in its production, 是heat 的定语，译为耗费在它（它就是上文的work）的生产上的热能

其中使用的短语有，
1.furnish sb. with sth.使某人拥有什么东西（这里的sth. 就是 a means of converting heat into a motive power）

2.regard sth.(文中是a certain quantity of work) as sth.（文中是 an equivalent to...直到结尾），
把。。。当做。。。

3. an equivalent for 。。。。翻译成： 与。。。相当/相同/相等的东西

【第一次回答问题啊，虽然表达还多有欠缺之处，还是希望能被采纳，(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……】
