  结构分析:句子的框架是But now it is realized that supplies…are limited,and it is even possible to…life”,the time it will take to exhaust…sources and reserves of these materials。that引导的从句与and后句构成并列,前句中it作形式主语,真正主语是that引导的从句,and句中it作形式主语,真正主语是不定式;the time作expectation of life的同位语,同时作其后所跟定语从句的宾语;翻译时,将句子第一部分的被动语态转化为主动语态;同时将同位语宾语作状语翻译。
