6. Egalitarian sentiments were often tempered by fears that the mass of the population was unprepared for selfrule and the democracy.
【分析】复合句。主句主干为 Egalitarian sentiments were often tempered。that 引导的同位语从句，补充说明 fears。
【译文】平等主义的情绪常常因为太担心大众对自治和民主还未做好准备而有所缓解。
【点拨】temper 的名词含义为“情绪；性情；脾气”，作动词的含义为“锻炼；调剂；缓和”。本句中即意为“调剂；缓和”。
