〔试题精析〕第一、句子可以拆分为三段：Actually, it isn't, because it assumes / that there is an agreed account of human rights, / which is something the world does not have.第二、句子主干结构是主从复合句。1)because引导原因状语从句 2)that引导宾语从句，从句中是存在句结构there is an agreed account of human rights, 3)which从句的先行词是human rights，something后面是定语从句the world does not have.第三、词的处理：Actually 事实上it主语代词，根据上下文意思这种问法，这种说法，isn't后面省略的词应该是so或true，an agreed account 约定的看法，共同的认识human rights 人的权利，人权。
〔参考译文〕事实并非如此，因为这种问法是以人们对人的权利有共同的认识为基础的，而这种共同认识并不存在。
