拆分点参考:从属连词，谓语动词

解析:
(1)主干结构是Ｏnｅｄiｆｆiｃｕlｔy iｓ tｈat...
(2）ａlｍｏst all oｆwhaｔis called ｂehavｉoral scｉｅｎce是表语从句中的主语部分，后面是简单的谓语和宾语结构。
词的处理:
ｃonｔinuｅs ｔo traｃe bｅhavｉor tｏ..．继续针对……研究行为
beｈavioraｌ scｉence行为科学
ｓtａtｅs of miｎd心态，意识状态
ｆeeｌings感情

技巧点拨：
（１)what和that引导的名词性从句直接翻译均可,无需调整顺序。
（2)减词法：短语ｓtates of mind(心理状态）、ｔraｉts of chaｒａcter（性格特征）、huｍan naｔｕre(人类本性)均可以采用减词法,分别翻译成两个字的形式:“心态”“性格”“人性”，朗朗上口，符合汉语对仗的习惯。
完整译文:
难题之一在于所谓的行为科学几乎全都依然从心态、情感、性格（特征）、人性等方面去寻找行为的根源。
