【Step 2】断句
Social psychologists have amassed oceans of research into [what they call the “above average effect”, or “illusory superiority,”]and shown [that, for example, 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities].解析：本句中包含2个从句：1个what引导的宾语从句；1个that引导的宾语从句。
what引导的宾语从句：
into [what they call the “above average effect”, or “illusory superiority,”]判断方法：1.位置：在动词|介词后<在介词into后>；
that引导的宾语从句：
shown [that, for example, 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities]判断方法：1.位置：在动词|介词后<在动词shown后>；重点成分标注：
主语：在句首|谓语前
宾语：在动词|介词后
表语：在系动词后
主语：蓝色；谓语：红色；表语：绿色；宾语：紫色；宾补：深蓝
主句
Social psychologists have amassed oceans of research into [...]and shown [...].what引导的宾语从句：
[whatthey call the “above average effect”, or “illusory superiority,”] what本身在从句中充当谓语动词call的宾语< call A B 把A称为B>。that引导的宾语从句：
[that, for example, 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities]其中，
1.for example——介宾结构作插入语；
2.93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others——此处出现并列的省略现象，缺啥补啥即可——70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% of us rate ourselves as above average in driving and 85% of us rate ourselves as above average at getting on well with others；
3.——all obviously statistical impossibilities——利用单破折号连接，表示对前面内容的解释说明，此处省略了谓语，补全：all are obviously statistical impossibilities——这种省略常见于总结性的表达中。
注意⚠️：省略现象常常是因为“省略了也不影响句意，才进行的省略”，因此大家不需过分担忧，只要可以读懂就ok！
【Step 3】翻译
Social psychologists have amassed oceans of research into [what they call the “above average effect”, or “illusory superiority,”]and shown [that, for example, 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities].主句
Social psychologists have amassed oceans of research into [...]and shown [...].翻译：社会心理学家已经把很多研究积累成了[...]，并指出[...]。what引导的宾语从句：
[what they call the “above average effect”, or “illusory superiority,”] 翻译：他们把what称之为“高于均数效应”或“虚幻的优越感”。
改译：他们所称的“高于均数效应”或“虚幻的优越感”。
翻译解释：what引导从句时，可将其译为“所...的”——如This iswhat I need.这就是我所需要的；What he said is true.他所说的是真的。
that引导的宾语从句：
[that, for example, 70% of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93% in driving and 85% at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities]翻译：例如，我们中70%的人认为自己在领导力上属于平均以上，93%认为自己在开车上属于平均以上，85%认为自己在与他人融洽相处上属于平均以上——所有这些显然都是统计学上的不可能。
改译：例如，我们当中有70%的人自认为领导力高于常人，93%的人自认为驾驶能力高于常人，85%的人自认为与人相处的能力高于常人——这些显然都是统计学上的不可能事件。
【Step 4】整合译文
