PS：请高手重点解析“we traded alcoholism for being dirt-poor.”这句话的真正含义.
==>但是这有一定的代价：因为当他饮酒的时候,我们有工作和工钱.当他介酒了,我们就只有借酒消愁穷困潦倒了.
we traded alcoholism for being dirt-poor：其中的trade sth. for sth.以...和...交易,以酗酒和穷困潦倒交易.
7、It got so bad that he either quit or got fired.
PS：请高手重点解析“so……that”在此句中的意义.
==>一般so...that是如此...以至于...的意思,这里上下句不是因果关系: 变得糟糕的是,他既没有辞职也没有被解雇.后半句that he either quit or got fired是so bad的补充状语从句,补充说明so bad的细节,不要太拘泥语法结构,更应该注重的是：1.英语语序特征,2.英语国家的人的逻辑思维特征.
8、He was a tool pusher essentially, sold drill bits to oil-drilling companies.
PS：翻译这句话.

PS：请高手重点解析“cures”与“lies in”的意思,另外 “point……down”是词组吗?
==>我从未想过我在用电视做一个8分钟的治疗.但是我认为任何问题50％的解决方法在于先界定它.我可能是沿着路径指向它们的情感罗盘(指南针).
cure：名词,治疗.point和后面的down可以认为没有关系,这里不是词组,down这里的意思是“沿着”,相当于along.down the path是介宾结构词组,在句中作points them的补充状语.
建议：
不要从语法分析着手来学习英语,因为这样效果很差.最好是提高阅读量,让一切语法变为理所当然的事情,让记忆单词成为阅读时的副产品.
