1) Surely there is no more commanding moral imperative for people in the west than to urge each other, and their governments, to bring relief to the world’s poorest.
【结构剖析】
1. 句子主干是there is no more commanding moral imperative than A，其中A= to urge each other and their governments to bring relief to the world’s poorest。
2.  there be句型其实是倒装句，因此there be sth.中，sth.是主语，be是谓语动词，there是状语。
3.  带有否定的比较级，可以参考最高级。原句本意为“对西方人来说，比起A，没有什么更加commanding的moral imperative了”，亦即“对西方人来说，A就是最commanding的moral imperative”。
【参考译文】
毫无疑问，对于西方人来说，最重要的道德标准莫过于：人与人之间相互督促以及敦促各自的国家给世界上最穷困的地区带去救助。

2) The method of scientific investigation is nothing but the expression of the necessary mode of working of the human mind; it is simply the mode by which all phenomena are reasoned about and given precise and exact explanation.
【结构剖析】
1.  句子主干是the method of scientific investigation is nothing but the expression; it is simply the mode.
2.  expression后面有介词词组作后置定语。
3.  mode后面有by which引导的定语从句，修饰先行词mode。
4.  nothing but 只不过；仅仅
【参考译文】
科学研究的方法不过是人类思维活动的必要表达方式，也就是对一切现象进行思索并给以准确而严谨解释的表达方式。
