【句式分析】本句中when以前的句子为主句，when后的句子为时间状语从句。在从句中又含有一个并列句I get …和I have to…and rest…。

【词语点拨】out of breath 上气不接下气，喘不过气 (=breathless)

【句式翻译】一个瑞典Kennel俱乐部的官员解释了这项法律的含义：如果你的狗跑到公路上被汽车撞了，作为主人，即使你的狗被撞死了，你也要为被撞坏的汽车做出赔偿。

【句式分析】该句前半部分explain接what引导的宾语从句，冒号后面的部分对此进行具体解释，可视为means的宾语从句。其中，在主句you have to…前后各有一个由if引导的条件状语从句和由even if引导的让步状语从句。as the owner是插入语。

possible treatment for as long as there is hope of recovery

strong and healthy.我的叔叔虽然老了，但他看上去还是很健壮。
