　　1、长难句：令人担心的是，社会越发把行为问题当作是疾病来治疗，常把更为坚强的上几代人称之为意志薄弱的行为定义成上瘾。

　　分析： 这是一个简单句，主干结构是It is worrisome that society is medicalizing more and more behavioral problems,其中it作形式主语。often defining as weakness of will是medicalizing的伴随状语。注意more and more在句中是副词，修饰medicalizing。

　　2、will作名词时意为意愿;意志，will power意为意志力，自制力。Where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者，事竟成。)The international community needs to demonstrate its political will to end hunger.(国际社会应该拿出根除饥饿的政治意志来。)When you have the will to win,you will find the skill to win.(你要是有赢的意志，就会获得赢的技巧。) will作名词还可表示遗愿;遗嘱。Never yielding to Victorian conventions,Collins had insisted upon a simple funeral in his will.(考林斯一生都不愿迎合维多利亚时代的习俗，他在遗嘱中要求在他死后只举办一个简单的葬礼。)
