2. The importance people attach to paid holidays and the rapid development of services for mass entertainment and recreation are signs of this increasing concern.
该句主语较长，分为两部分，即The importance people attach to paid holidays （人们赋予带薪休假的重要性）和 the rapid development of services for mass entertainment and recreation （大众娱乐服务的快速发展）。people attach to paid holidays是定语从句修饰第一个主语importance。全句译为：“人们赋予带薪休假的重要性和大众娱乐服务的快速发展标志着人们对这一问题的日益关注。”

Generally speaking, the quality of life, especially as seen by the individual, is meaningful in terms of the degree to which these various areas of life are available or provide satisfaction to the individual.
该句中especially as seen by the individual是定语从句，其中的关系代词as作主语，谓语中省去了is。该定语从句修饰the quality of life，意为“生活质量，尤其是个人所认为的生活质量”；to which these various areas of life are available or provide satisfaction to the individual是定语从句修饰the degree，意为“这些不同的生活领域可以供个人享受或者可以使个人满意的程度”。
in terms of： 根据, 按照, 用…的话, 在…方面
e.g. Consider it in terms of an investment.
请从投资的方面来考虑这件事。

He love music to a crazy degree.
3. As activity carried out as one thinks fit during ones spare time, leisure has the following functions: relaxation, recreation and entertainment, and personal development.
该句中第一个as是介词，意为“作为”；carried out as one thinks fit during ones spare time是过去分词短语做后置定语修饰activity，其中as是连词引导方式状语从句修饰动词词组carried out。全句意为：“作为空闲时进行的自己认为适当的活动，休闲具有下列功能：放松、娱乐、个人发展。”
carry out: 完成, 实现, 贯彻, 执行
e.g. Nigel is carrying out research on early Christian art.
奈杰尔正在进行对早期基督教艺术的研究。

Thus, the following are possible uses of television watching, a popular leisure activity: a change of experience to provide escape from the stress and strain of work; to learn more about what is happening in ones environment; to provide an opportunity for understanding oneself by comparing other peoples life experiences as portrayed in the programmes.
该句中a popular leisure activity 是television watching的同位语；冒号之后的三个并列成分用来解释possible uses。它最后一个并列成分中的by comparing other peoples life experiences as portrayed in the programmes是现在分词结构作动词的方式状语，其中as portrayed in the programmes是定语从句，其中的关系代词as作主语，谓语中省去了is。该定语从句修饰life experiences。
5. In an urban society in which highly structured, fast-paced and stressful work looms large in life, experiences of a different nature, be it television watching or bird-watching, can lead to a self-renewal and a more balanced way of life.
该句中In… in life是全句的状语；其中in which 引导定语从句修饰urban society。be it television watching or bird-watching 是让步状语从句，省去了连接词whether, 系动词be调到了主语it之前。不倒装的形式为whether it is television watching or bird-watching。
Everyone has the right to happiness, whether he is poor or rich. = whether he be poor or rich. = be he poor or rich
The mistake, be it big or small, should be corrected.
