This sentence "The explanation was beyond my understanding.'' means that I don't have the intellectual capacity to understand this; it's too complicated.

The other sentences could have any number of reasons for not understanding: badly written, bad grammar, not clearly thought out by the writer etc.

That's why I used the word "Related:" Also, "that explanation" and "the explanation" don't match exactly either.

I don't understand the purpose of your original message. Is someone keeping track of related sentences?

It helps people find sentences that are similar, and perhaps people can even use existing items in the database as translations.

For example, all 3 of these sentences can use the same Japanese translation.

It also helps students see variations in how to convey the same or similar ideas.
