Aspectreishaunting（“haunt”指“鬼魂等反复出没于某地”。

欧洲的反动势力视共产主义为幽灵，怕得要死。

此句用现在进行时，正活脱脱地表明了他们的这种心理状态，也显示出共产主义方兴未艾，已成气候。

Whereistheoppositionthathasnothurledbackthebrandingreproachofcommunism（reproach指“责骂或责备”，branding指“玷辱或污辱”，brandingreproach则有“诬陷之词”的意思。

注意：

不能直接将thebrandingreproachofcommunism翻译为“共产主义这个诬陷之词”，尽管介词前后两部分属于同位关系，因为，“共产主义”，在包括马克思在内的共产党人看来，决非贬义之词。

可以将这个短语翻译为“将共产主义作为诬陷之词”。

Thehistoryofallhithertoexistingsociety（hitherto为副词，指“迄今为止”，修饰形容词existing，表示“迄今为止仍然存在的”。

我们现在的这个社会已经存在了几千年，至今仍然存在，所以，句中society用单数。

这里将所有的阶级斗争视为一体。

后面的同位语afight也是指“一种斗争”。

本句的主语和谓语与分号前的相同，都是wehave，故省去。

注意：

此句将三个介词短语tocommerce,tonavigation,toindustry提前，置于宾语animpulse之前，因为宾语带有后置定语neverbeforeknown。
