9、I never think that I 'm doing eight-minute cures on television. But I think that 50 percent of the solution to any problem lies in defining it first. I can be an emotional compass that points them down the path.
這個句子中重點解析的是"cures"與"lies in"的意思，另外 "point……down"是詞組嗎?
翻譯為：我從未想過我在用電視做一個8分鐘的治療。但是我認為任何問題50%的解決方法在于先界定它。我可能是沿著路徑指向它們的情感羅盤(指南針)。
cure：名詞，治療。point和后面的down可以認為沒有關系，這里不是詞組，down這里的意思是"沿著"，相當于along.down the path是介賓結構詞組，在句中作points them的補充狀語。
建議：不要從語法分析著手來學習英語，因為這樣效果很差。最好是提高閱讀量，讓一切語法變為理所當然的事情，讓記憶單詞成為閱讀時的副產品。
