考研阅读逐句翻译
Generally costing several hundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, although variations of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web.
词汇：
variation //n. 变体，变种；变化
populate //v. 落户，居住
结构：
Generally costing several hundred dollars（分词短语作状语）, //they are usually given only by psychologists（主句）,// although variations of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web（although 让步状语从句）.
译文：
一般花费要几百美元，这两种测试通常由心理学家来进行，尽管书店和互联网上到处充斥着各种这样的测试。
翻译思路：
这个句子写得很有意思。首先用分词短语在前面，说明两个测试各自需要的话费，后面的主句主语只能是这两种测试，与前面的分词 costing...的逻辑主语保持一直。后面说，本应该由心理学家来做的这两种测试，但是还有其他各种这样的测试泛滥在书店和网络上。
populate，用得很妙，它本来指人的“居住，落户，移民”，这里用来指这两种测试在网上泛滥，有意思。

Superhigh scores like vos Savant’s are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers, rather than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by 100.
词汇：
statistical //adj. 统计的，统计学的distribution //n. 分布peer //n. （地位，等级等）同等的人chronological //adj. 按时间前后顺序排列的multiply //v. 乘
结构：Superhigh scores like vos Savant’s are no longer possible（主句）, //because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers（原因状语从句）, //rather than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by 100（rather than 连接的并列宾语）.
译文：
像沃斯·莎凡特那样的超高分数已经不在可能出现了，因为现在的分数依据的是同龄群体的统计人口分布，而不是简单地用心理年龄除以实际年龄再乘以 100。
