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.
这个句子中重点解析的是"cures"与"lies in"的意思，另外 "point……down"是词组吗?
翻译为：我从未想过我在用电视做一个8分钟的治疗。但是我认为任何问题50%的解决方法在于先界定它。我可能是沿着路径指向它们的情感罗盘(指南针)。
cure：名词，治疗。point和后面的down可以认为没有关系，这里不是词组，down这里的意思是"沿着"，相当于along.down the path是介宾结构词组，在句中作points them的补充状语。
建议：不要从语法分析着手来学习英语，因为这样效果很差。最好是提高阅读量，让一切语法变为理所当然的事情，让记忆单词成为阅读时的副产品。
