The brain finds it best to keep smell receptors available for unfamiliar and emergency signals such as the smell of smoke, which might indicate the danger of fire.

【翻译】大脑发现最好让气味受体对不熟悉或是紧急的信号保持敏感,例如烟的气味,它可能显示出火灾的危险。

【分析】

1. available for:形容词短语,意为“可用于…的;对…有效的;对...起作用的”。在本句中,针对smell receptors的词义而言,翻译为“保持敏感的”。

available for有较多的含义,仔细体会:

The Prime Minister was not available for comment. 首相无暇作出评论。

(有空的)

These tickets are available for one month only. 这些票的有效期只有一个月。

(有效的)

Chinese commodities available for export are varied. 中国可供出口的商品种类繁多。

(可供的)

Job is available for spouse on campus and in the community. 校园里和社区里有配偶可做的工作。

(适合的)

2. finds it best to keep...:it 是形式宾语,to keep...是真实宾语。

3. which might indicate the danger of fire,是定语从句,修饰 the smell of smoke。
