[問題] 這兩句話怎麼翻比較好呢

[lmtlmt (因為我們不同)]

1. The solar wind grossly distort the earth's magnetic field,

   dragging it out to a long tail.

我前面是翻:太陽風極度地扭曲了地球的磁場. 後面那句就翻不出來了

後面的it是指the earth's magnetic field嗎?

2.So it was that the farm poor were caught in their own past,

  the double victims of technology: exile from their home by

  advances in agricultural machinery, unfitted for life in the

  city because of the consequences of industrial mechanization.

我比較有問題的是從一開始到victims of technology這邊不知道該怎麼翻?

還有整句話該從前面開始翻比較好還是從後面開始比較好?

希望有位高手能幫幫我 謝謝
