解析：AIDS
AIDS is a life-threatening sickness that attacks the body’s natural defense system against disease. It can destroy the body’s ability to protect itself.
AIDS itself does not kill. But because the body’s defense system is damaged, the patient has little ability to fight off many other diseases, such as pneumonia, cancer, blindness and mental disorders.
The AIDS virus is carried in a person’s body fluids. The virus can be passed sexually or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous drugs. It also can be passed in blood products or from a pregnant woman with AIDS to her developing baby.
Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it by touching drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Experts say no one has gotten AIDS by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient.

1．艾滋病AIDS。

2．免疫系统 defense system。

免疫力immunity。immune有免疫力的：I am immune to smallpox as a result of vaccination．我种过牛痘了，所以对天花有免疫力。这里的免疫系统，可以用 immune system来表示有免疫力的系统，但是最好用defense system来指防止病毒入侵身体的防卫系统。
3．艾滋病是一种威胁生命的疾病，它侵袭人体内的自然免疫系统，破坏人体的自卫能力。AIDS is a life-threatening sickness that attacks the body’s natural defense system against disease. It can destroy the body’s ability to protect itself．

采用分句翻译法。原文是三个分句组成的一个复合句，但译文分成两个句子。(1)把前两个句子合成一个含有定语从句的复合句。即，AIDS is a life threatening sickness that attacks the body’s natural defense system against disease，(2)第三个分句译成独立句子。有时按照汉语的习惯而翻译出来的句子在英语中是冗长而且句意模糊不清的，所以有必要分开翻译。
4．这种病毒可以通过性生活或共用静脉注射器传播，也可以通过血制品传播，并且可以从患艾滋病的孕妇身上传播给她的妊娠婴儿。The virus cab be passed sexually or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous drugs. It also can be passed in blood products or from a pregnant woman with AIDS to her developing baby．
[分析]： 理解结构采分点。
原句是由多个并列动词构成的简单句，可采用断句法翻译成两句话。译文中的两个分句中都使用了原文中动词pass表示“传播”。原文的介词短语“通过……”和“从……”在译文分句中都使用了副词或介词短语表示，即，passed sexually or by sharing instruments...和passed in blood products or from a pregnant woman...。“传播”也可泽成carry。
5．与艾滋病患者一起工作或上学不会传染上艾滋病，触摸他们用过的饮水杯或其他东西也不会传染上艾滋病。You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease．You cannot get it by touching drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons．

采用分句法译成两句话，同时在译文中添加主语you。
