1.根据【定语从句翻译方法：定从词数>8个词通常采取后置译法；≤8个词通常采取前置译法】；所以该句中的定语从句采取前置译法，即译为“...的”
2.宾语从句顺译掉即可。
并列句1：
英：Rather than concluding [that children make parents either happy or miserable], Senior suggests [we need to redefine happiness]中：而不是推断出结论认为孩子让父母要么开心要么痛苦，西尼尔认为我们需要重新定义幸福英文：instead of thinking of it as something [that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy], we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition.中文：而不是把幸福视为可以被每时每刻快乐所衡量的东西，我们应该把幸福定义为过去式的条件。3.整合译文：
初译：而不是推断出结论认为孩子让父母要么开心要么痛苦，西尼尔认为我们需要重新定义幸福：而不是把幸福视为可以被每时每刻快乐所衡量的东西，我们应该把幸福定义为过去式的条件。终译：西尼尔并没有对“孩子带给父母的是幸福还是痛苦”作出定论，而是认为我们需要重新定义幸福：不应把它看成可用“每时每刻的快乐”来衡量的东西，而应把幸福视为一种过去式状态。
