These epochal figures represented lives hard to imitate,but to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere mortals.
请问这里的but是并列连词吗?后面的to be acknowledged..mortals与谁并列?为什么用 to be acknowledged...不定式结构?
This was all a bit bourgeois for Thomas Carlyle, who focused his biographies on the truly heroic lives of Martin Luther, Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon Bonaparte. These epochal figures represented lives hard to imitate, but to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere mortals.
But可以是连词、介词、副词。可以排除介词(除了…)
作为连词,but连接相等的句子成分,唯一可连接的成分就是定语。但作为定语修饰lives,语义上成了生活具有权威,不大符合逻辑。
所以but分析为副词,=only。 Only to do引导结果状语。不定式的逻辑主语为句子的主语,这些人物具有权威。
but to be recognized…= only to be recogised…引导结果状语从句。
这些划时代的人物代表了难以模仿的生活,被认为具有高于普通人的权威。

These epochal figures represented lives hard to imitate, but to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere mortals.
【翻译】这些时代弄潮儿代表了无以模仿的生活,结果被认为拥有比常人更高的权威。
本句but 用作副词,不是连词,意为“只是”,类似于only 的用法。
动词不定式 to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere mortals,是“结果状语”, These epochal figures 为其逻辑主语。
