Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observingthe bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strongopposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will.
　　【分析】复合句。主句主干为Washington overcame the strong opposition。who引导的非限定性定语从句修饰Washington，其中that引导的从句作如believe的宾语，after... the Revolutionary War为时间状语。句尾的不定式结构to grant…作overcame的目的状语。
　　【译文】在独立战争期间，华盛顿目睹了黑人士兵的英勇，他开始相信人人生而平等。于是他不顾亲友的强烈反对，把赋予奴隶自由的决定写进了遗书。
　　【点拨】1)overcome意为“战胜，克服”，常用的搭配有overcome difficulty/adversity 战胜困难/困境;overcome dread 克服恐惧;overcome troubles 踏平坎坷。2)grant sb. sth.意为“授予某人某物”。
