分裂結(jié)構(gòu)長難句分類解析

1. While warnings are often appropriate and necessary—the dangers of drug interactions, for example—and many are required by state or federal regulations, it isn't clear that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured.

【翻譯演練】 　_____________________________

【參考譯文】 　盡管警示通常是正確的和必要的（例如藥品副作用的危險性警示），并且許多警示亦是按照州或聯(lián)邦的法律制定的，然而一旦顧客受傷，這些警示實際上能否讓生產(chǎn)銷售商免責(zé)卻并不明確。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　While warnings are often appropriate and necessary —( the dangers of drug interactions, for example )—and many are required by state or federal regulations ,//it isn't clear (that they actually protect the manufacturers and sellers from liability if a customer is injured) .此句中，第一段是while（盡管）引導(dǎo)的讓步狀語從句，此從句是一個由and連接的兩個分句組成的并列句，被雙破折號中間的舉例插入語隔開，這是本句的學(xué)習(xí)重點；第二段是句子的主干，即it isn't clear that...才是主句，此部分中，it是形式主語，真正的主語是that引導(dǎo)的名詞從句（即主語從句）；此主語從句中，主語是they，謂語是protect，賓語是the manufacturers and sellers, from liability是賓語補足語，最后畫線成分是if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句，修飾此從句的謂語動詞protect，表示其發(fā)生的條件。

【詞匯精記】 　warning 警示，警告；appropriate 適當(dāng)?shù)?；drug 藥物；interaction 相互作用；state 州；federal 聯(lián)邦的；regulation 法律，法規(guī)；protect sb. from sth. 保護(hù)某人免受；manufacture 生產(chǎn)廠家；seller 銷售商；liability 責(zé)任；customer 顧客；injure 傷害。

2. Granted, a snobbery of camping itself, based upon equipment and techniques, already exists; but it is of a kind that, if he meets it, he can readily understand and deal with.

【翻譯演練】 　____________________________

【參考譯文】 　誠然，基于裝備和技術(shù)的不同，野營的勢利行為業(yè)已存在；但它卻是一種一旦遇到，野營者即能理解并從容應(yīng)對的行為。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　Granted, a snobbery (of camping itself), ( based upon equipment and techniques ), already exists;//but it is of a kind (that, if he meets it, he can readily understand and deal with).此句的整體結(jié)構(gòu)是Granted...but.... “誠然……但是……”；在第一段中，主語是a snobbery, of camping itself是其后置定語，謂語動詞是already exists，雙逗號中間的based upon...是過去分詞短語作非限制性定語，相當(dāng)于非限制性定語從句which is based upon...的省略，對前面的主語snobbery進(jìn)行補充說明，重點注意主語a snobbery和謂語already exists的分裂；第二段中，主語是it，謂語是系動詞is，表語是介詞短語of a kind，后面括號中是that引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾先行詞kind；此定語從句是一個復(fù)合句，if he meets it是條件狀語從句，表示后面主干內(nèi)容he can readily understand and deal with發(fā)生的條件，if從句前后各有一逗號，使得此定語從句的結(jié)構(gòu)很清晰，讓讀者一目了然。

【詞匯精記】 　granted 誠然；snobbery 勢利行為；camping 野營，露營；be based upon 建立在……的基礎(chǔ)上；equipment 裝備；technique 技術(shù)；deal with 應(yīng)付，處理。

【翻譯演練】 　______________________________

【參考譯文】 　一切的目的就是試圖向困惑并且通常愚昧的人們解釋清楚，對于宇宙和生命的起源進(jìn)化而言是不存在兩種等效的科學(xué)理論的。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　The goal (of all) will be to try to explain to a confused and often unenlightened citizenry that there are not two equally valid scientific theories (for the origin and evolution of universe and life).此句的主干是：The goal...will be to try to explain sth. to sb. ，因為此句中的賓語sth.較長，被改寫為：The goal...will be to try to explain to sb. sth. ,重點關(guān)注動詞explain和賓語sth.的分裂；具體而言，The goal是主語，of all是其后置定語，謂語動詞是will be，不定式短語to try to...是表語，that引導(dǎo)名詞從句作explain的賓語（即賓語從句）；畫線黑體部分to a...citizenry是范圍狀語，它分隔開了動詞explain和賓語that從句；句末括號中是介詞for短語作前面名詞theories的后置定語。

【詞匯精記】 　goal 目標(biāo)，目的；confused 迷惑不解的；unenlightened 愚昧的，無知的；citizenry 公民；equally 等同地，一樣地；valid 有效的；origin 起源，出處；evolution 進(jìn)化；universe 宇宙。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　I am sure that, without modern weapons , I would make a very poor show (of disputing the ownership of a cave with a bear),//and in this I do not think that I stand alone.此句的整體結(jié)構(gòu)是由and連接兩個分句組成的一個并列句；第一段中，主語是I，謂語是系動詞am，表語是sure，后面是that引導(dǎo)的名詞從句，作be sure的賓語（即賓語從句）；在that賓語從句中，畫線黑體部分是介詞短語作that從句中的條件狀語，因置于that從句首部，分隔了連詞that和從句的主干，故前后用逗號隔開，以讓讀者一目了然；賓語從句主干中，主語是I，謂語是would make，賓語是a very poor show，緊隨其后括號中的介詞of短語是后置定語，修飾前面的show；第二段中，主語是I，謂語是do not think，賓語是that引導(dǎo)的名詞從句（即賓語從句），in this則是范圍狀語，修飾謂語動詞think，表示其發(fā)生的范圍。

【詞匯精記】 　be sure that... 確信；weapon 武器；make a very poor show of 在……方面表現(xiàn)拙劣；dispute (vi.) 爭論，(vt.) 爭奪；ownership 所有權(quán)；stand alone 孑身一人。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　Each day is a holiday,//and ordinary holidays, ( when they come ), are grudged as enforced interruptions (in an absorbing vocation).此句的整體結(jié)構(gòu)是and連接兩個分句組成的一個并列句；第一段是簡單的主系表結(jié)構(gòu)；第二段中，主語是ordinary holidays，謂語是are grudged，后面畫線的介詞短語as...則是方式狀語，修飾謂語動詞，表示其發(fā)生的方式；雙逗號中間的括號黑體部分是狀語從句，它分隔了主語holidays和謂語are grudged的主謂關(guān)系，是此句的關(guān)注重點；句末括號中的介詞in短語是后置定語，修飾前面的interruptions。

【詞匯精記】 　grudge 抱怨，怨恨；enforce 強迫，強行實施；interruption (in) 打斷；absorbing 吸引人的，引人入勝的；vocation 職業(yè)。

6. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms.

【翻譯演練】 　___________________________

【參考譯文】 　在辦公室或工廠里長時間工作的回報不僅僅是帶來了謀生手段，而且還帶來了尋找樂趣的強烈渴望，哪怕是最簡單最原始的樂趣。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　The long hours (in the office or the factory) bring with them as their reward , not only the means (of sustenance), but a keen appetite (for pleasure) (even in its simplest and most modest forms).此句的正常語序是：The long hours...bring (not only the means..., but a keen appetite...) with them as their reward，即主語是The long hours，謂語是bring，賓語是(not only the means..., but a keen appetite...)，介詞短語with them和as their reward分別作伴隨和方式狀語；但因賓語太長，故被后置，將伴隨狀語with them和方式狀語as their reward提前，所以此句關(guān)注的重點是動詞bring和賓語the means, appetite的分隔；本句括號中的部分皆是前面相關(guān)名詞的后置定語：in the office or the factory是主語hours的后置定語，介詞短語of sustenance則是賓語means的后置定語，for pleasure是賓語appetite的后置定語，even in its...則是pleasure的后置定語。

【詞匯精記】 　reward 回報；means 方式，手段；sustenance 支撐力，營養(yǎng)品，此處引申為“生計”；keen 強烈的；appetite (for) 胃口，渴望；in a...form 以……方式；modest 謙虛的，質(zhì)樸的，適中的。

【翻譯演練】 　______________________________

【參考譯文】 　對于流汗出力辛勞了一周的體力勞動者而言，讓他們在周末的下午再踢場足球或打棒球是不合適的。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　It is no use//offering the manual laborer, tired out with a hard week's sweat and effort , the chance (of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon).此句的it是形式主語，真正的主語是后面的動名詞短語offering...（也可理解為It is no use doing句型）；畫線黑體部分是非限制性定語，相當(dāng)于非限制性定語從句who is tired out...的省略，它分隔了固定搭配offering sb...sth.，即分隔了雙賓語manual laborer和the chance；句末括號中的of短語是前面the chance的后置定語。

【詞匯精記】 　It is no use doing 做某事是沒用的；manual 手工的，體力的；laborer 勞動者（尤指體力勞動者）；tired out 筋疲力盡的；hard 辛苦的，艱辛的；sweat 汗水；effort 努力；baseball 棒球。

【參考譯文】 　強調(diào)搜集第一手資料，加上在分析過去和現(xiàn)在的文化形態(tài)時采用的跨文化視角，使這一研究成為一門獨特并且非常重要的社會科學(xué)。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　The emphasis (on data) (gathered first-hand), ( combined with a cross cultural perspective ) (brought to the analysis of cultures past and present ), makes this study a unique and distinctly important social science.本句是一個簡單句，主干是The emphasis...(combined with...) makes this study a...social science；即主語是The emphasis，謂語是makes，賓語是this study, a...social science則是名詞短語作賓語補足語（make sb. sth.）；括號中的成分皆是前面相關(guān)名詞的后置定語：介詞短語on data是主語emphasis的后置定語，過去分詞短語gathered first-hand是前面data的后置定語，黑體combined with...可以理解為非限制性定語，即非限制性定語從句which is combined...的省略；緊隨其后的過去分詞短語brought to...則是前面perspective的后置定語，其中的斜體表達(dá)past and present是前面cultures的后置定語。

【詞匯精記】 　emphasis on 對……的強調(diào)；data 數(shù)據(jù)；gather 搜集，聚集；first-hand 第一手的（地）；combined with（相當(dāng)于together with或along with）加上，以及，和；cross-cultural 跨文化的；perspective 視角；analysis 分析；unique 唯一的，獨一無二的；distinctly 顯著地，不同地。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　Thus, the anthropological concept of "culture," like the concept of "set" in mathematics , is an abstract concept (which makes possible immense amounts of concrete research and understanding).句子主干結(jié)構(gòu)是：主語＋插入結(jié)構(gòu)＋系表結(jié)構(gòu)＋which引導(dǎo)的定語從句。具體而言，主語是the anthropological concept of "culture"，謂語是系動詞is，表語是名詞短語an abstract concept，雙逗號中間的成分是介詞短語like...作比較狀語（插入句中，分隔了主語和謂語之間的關(guān)系），句末括號中的成分是關(guān)系代詞which引導(dǎo)的定語從句；此處的which定語從句是關(guān)注的另一重點：從句主語是關(guān)系代詞which，謂語是makes，賓語是immense amounts of concrete research and understanding，形容詞possible是賓補（make sth adj.）；但此賓語補足語被前置到了賓語前面，分隔了從句謂語動詞makes和其賓語的關(guān)系（因賓語太長之故）；故本句的重點有兩個：like短語導(dǎo)致的分隔和形容詞possible導(dǎo)致的分隔。

【詞匯精記】 　anthropological 人類學(xué)的；anthropology 人類學(xué)；concept 概念；set（一）系列，套，集（數(shù)學(xué)概念）；mathematics 數(shù)學(xué)；abstract 抽象的；immense 巨大的；immense amounts of 大量的；concrete 具體的。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man, ( who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days ), to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.此句的it是形式主語，真正的主語是inviting...（也可理解為It is no use doing句型）；黑體部分是非限制性定語從句，它分隔了inviting sb....to do sth.即分隔了賓語the politician or the professional or business man（相當(dāng)于sb.）和賓語補足語to work or worry...（相當(dāng)于to do sth.）。

【詞匯精記】 　politician 政治人物；professional (adj.) 專業(yè)的，(n.) 專業(yè)人員；business man 商界人士；serious things 正經(jīng)事；trifling things 瑣事。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　We must conclude from the work (of those) (who have studied the origin of life), that given a planet (only approximately like our own ), life is almost certain to start .此句的主語是We，謂語是must conclude，賓語是句末的斜體表達(dá)（that引導(dǎo)的名詞從句作謂語動詞的賓語，即賓語從句），中間畫線的黑體表達(dá)是介詞短語from...作狀語，它在形式上分隔了謂語動詞conclude和賓語從句的關(guān)系；括號中的of those是介詞短語作前面the work的后置定語，緊隨其后的是who引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾先行詞those；在that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句中，逗號后面的life is...是主干，畫線部位given a planet是條件狀語，表示主干內(nèi)容發(fā)生的條件，其后面括號中的表達(dá)是介詞短語like...作后置定語，修飾前面的a planet（其中的only approximately修飾like，表示程度）。

【詞匯精記】 　conclude that...from... 從……得出結(jié)論；origin 起源，出處；the origin of life 生命的起源；given 倘若有；planet 行星；approximately 大約；be certain to do 肯定，注定。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　I do not doubt//that it would be possible to inject ideas into the modern world (that would utterly destroy us).句子主干是第一段：主語是I，謂語是do not doubt，緊隨其后的是that引導(dǎo)的名詞從句，作謂語動詞doubt的賓語（即賓語從句）；在第二段that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句中，it是形式主語，不定式to inject ideas...是真正的主語，would be是謂語，possible是表語；但值得關(guān)注的是黑體畫線部分，它是介詞短語into...作地點狀語，它分隔了名詞ideas和其定語從句（句末括號成分that...）之間的關(guān)系，因為按正常語序ideas＋that...太長，結(jié)構(gòu)會出現(xiàn)頭重腳輕，故將定語從句后置。

【詞匯精記】 　inject 注射；utterly 完全地，徹底地；destroy 摧毀，毀滅。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　At the same time, the American Law Institute— a group of judges, lawyers, and academics (whose recommendations carry substantial weight)—issued new guidelines (for the law) (stating that companies need not warn customers of obvious dangers or bombard them with a lengthy list of possible ones).句子的主干是the American Law Institute...issued new guidelines...；雙破折號中間的黑體部分是前面主語institute的同位語，其后面括號中的表達(dá)是whose引導(dǎo)的定語從句，它們一起分隔了主語Institute和謂語issued之間的關(guān)系；for the law和stating that...共同作前面賓語guidelines的后置定語； 在（stating that...）中，that引導(dǎo)名詞從句作stating的賓語（即賓語從句）；此賓語從句的主語是companies，謂語是need not warn...or bombard（即or連接的并列謂語）。

【參考譯文】 　他宣布反對使用這種非同尋常的畜牧業(yè)技術(shù)克隆人類，并明令禁止使用聯(lián)邦基金進(jìn)行這類研究（盡管無人提議這樣做），此外，他還要求成立一個由普林斯頓大學(xué)校長Harold Shapiro領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的專家小組，在90天內(nèi)呈交一份關(guān)于克隆人國策建議的報告。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　 Declaring that he was opposed to using this unusual animal husbandry technique to clone humans,//he ordered that federal funds not be used for such an experiment— although no one had proposed to do so //—and asked an independent panel of experts (chaired by Princeton President Harold Shapiro) report back to the White House in 90 days with recommendations for a national policy on human cloning.此句的主干結(jié)構(gòu)為：Declaring..., he ordered that...and asked (that)...“他宣布……，還命令……，此外還要求……”；即主語是he，謂語是and連接的并列動詞ordered和asked，句首是現(xiàn)在分詞短語作伴隨狀語，亦屬于主語he發(fā)出的動作行為；第一段中，declaring后面是that引導(dǎo)的名詞從句，作declaring的賓語（即賓語從句）；第二段中，主語是he，謂語是ordered，賓語是that引導(dǎo)的名詞從句（即賓語從句）； 此從句因為是ordered（表示“命令”、“建議”）的賓語，必須用虛擬語氣(should) do的形式，所以此從句中：主語是federal funds，謂語是(should) not be used；此段后面雙破折號中間的黑體表達(dá)是讓步狀語從句插入，屬典型的插入語；第三段是并列謂語動詞asked＋that從句，連接詞that出于避免重復(fù)的目的（前面有ordered that）被省略掉；此從句因為是asked的賓語，故也應(yīng)該用虛擬語氣(should) do的形式，所以在此從句中：主語是an...experts，謂語是(should) report back to...，后面的介詞短語to..., in...和with...分別作地點、時間和伴隨狀語，修飾此段的謂語動詞report。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　Average inflation (in the big seven industrial economies) fell to a mere 2.3% last year , (close to its lowest level in 30 years), before rising slightly to 2.5% this July.此句的主語是Average inflation，其后的in...短語是其后置定語，謂語動詞是fell, to a mere 2.3%是fell的程度狀語，last year是fell的時間狀語，最后面的before...短語也是時間狀語； 括號中的形容詞短語close to...作非限制性定語，相當(dāng)于which was close to...的省略，修飾2.3％，因其太長，出于句子結(jié)構(gòu)平衡的考慮，被后置，也就出現(xiàn)了分隔的情形。

S. mainland,//they produced that American characteristic, emulation .此句的主干結(jié)構(gòu)是：when...forces interacted with one another..., they produced...，即時間狀語從句＋主句；在第一段when引導(dǎo)的時間狀語從句中，雙破折號中間的黑體表達(dá)是典型的舉例插入語，它分隔了從句主語forces和從句謂語動詞interacted之間的關(guān)系；第二段是主句，句末的畫線部分emulation是前面名詞characteristic的同位語，對其進(jìn)行內(nèi)容解釋。

【詞匯精記】 　shaping force 塑造力；open attitude 開放的態(tài)度；premium 保險費，獎金；the premium system 獎勵機制；a genius for （某）方面的天才；spatial 空間的（space）；spatial thinking 空間思維；interact with 相互作用；mainland 大陸；characteristic 特征；emulation 競爭。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　A young man sees a sunset and, unable to understand or to express the emotion (it rouses in him), concludes that it must be the gateway (to a world) (that lies beyond).此句的主干結(jié)構(gòu)是：A young man sees a sunset and,...concludes that...，即主語是A young man，謂語是并列連詞and連接的兩個并列動詞sees和concludes，后者后面又跟了that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句（畫線成分），其中的括號部分作后置定語成分，分別修飾其前面的相應(yīng)名詞； 黑體unable...是形容詞短語作原因狀語修飾concludes，緊隨其后的括號it rouses in him是emotion的定語從句，省略了關(guān)系代詞that，故從形式上看，這一黑體部分＋定語從句分隔了兩個并列謂語的關(guān)系。

【詞匯精記】 　sunset 落日；emotion 情感；rouse 引起，激起；conclude that... 得出結(jié)論認(rèn)為；the gateway to 通向……的大門；lie 位于，躺；beyond (adv . & prep .) 在……的那一邊（更遠(yuǎn)處）。

【參考譯文】 　務(wù)必確保上次他們不知答案的所有問題出現(xiàn)在此次試卷上。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　Make sure you include ( in the examination paper ) whatever questions they didn't know the answers to last time .此句是祈使句（動詞開頭），make sure后面省略了賓語從句的連接詞that；在賓語從句中you是主語，include是謂語，畫線的whatever...部分是whatever引導(dǎo)的名詞從句，作前面動詞include的賓語（即賓語從句），因為太長，故被后置，使得in the examination paper這一地點狀語在形式上分隔了謂語include和賓語whatever。

【詞匯精記】 　make sure that... 確保；the examination paper 試卷；whatever questions 相當(dāng)于 any questions that...; the answer to （……的）答案。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　The sense is growing// that the Americans need to turn things round fast, militarily and politically , if they are to ensure that events do not spin out control .第一段是句子的主干，第二段是that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句，解釋說明主語The sense的內(nèi)容；正常的主干結(jié)構(gòu)是The sense (that...) is growing，但因這樣的語序頭重腳輕，故被改寫為The sense is growing that...；在that引導(dǎo)的同位語從句中，畫線的表達(dá)分別是范圍狀語（修飾turn）和條件狀語（修飾need）。

【詞匯精記】 　sense 感覺，意識；turn things round 扭轉(zhuǎn)形勢；militarily and politically 軍事和政治兩方面；events 情況（pl.）；spin out 消磨（時間），拖延。

【翻譯演練】 　_____________________________

【參考譯文】 　當(dāng)前的問題是，許多人把如果付出努力完全有可能做到的事情，視作是不可能的。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　The present question is that many people consider ( impossible ) what is really possible if effort is made .句子主語是The present question，謂語是系動詞is，that從句是表語從句； 在that從句中，many people是主語，consider是謂語，畫線部分是動詞的賓語從句，impossible是賓語補足語，但因賓語太長之故，賓語被放置到補足語之后，造成了形式上動詞consider和其賓語what從句的分隔；此外，what is really possible if effort is made相當(dāng)于all (that is possible if effort is made)。

【詞匯精記】 　make effort to do 努力做某事；consider sth.＋adj. 認(rèn)為某物……。

【詞匯精記】 　the Victorians 維多利亞時期的人們；accord 授予，給予（accord sb. sth. 給予某人某物）；endeavor 試圖；pretend 假裝。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　And we are so accustomed to reading almost every week newspaper reports (about new discoveries) (being made by man)// that we tend to take the progress and benefit (of scientific research) for granted.此句話的主干結(jié)構(gòu)是：we are so accustomed to reading... that ...；第一段是主干，第二段是that引導(dǎo)的結(jié)果狀語從句，和前面的so形成搭配，表示其帶來的結(jié)果；第一段中黑體表達(dá)almost every week是時間狀語，修飾前面的reading，表示其發(fā)生時間，它在形式上分隔了reading和其賓語newspaper reports（因賓語較長，被后置）；reports后面的about短語是介詞短語作其后置定語，現(xiàn)在分詞短語being...則是前面discoveries的后置定語；在第二段結(jié)果狀語從句中，主語是we，謂語是tend to take，賓語是the progress and benefit，緊隨其后的of scientific research則是賓語的后置定語，句末表達(dá)for granted和前面的take形成搭配，作賓語補足語。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　In short, the scientific revolution, as we call it , was largely the improvement and invention and use (of a series of instruments) (that expanded the reach of science in innumerable directions).句子主干結(jié)構(gòu)是the scientific revolution...was largely...; as we call it 是典型的插入語，of a series of instruments是其前面三個并列名詞的后置定語，句末括號中是that引導(dǎo)定語從句，也修飾相同的對象。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　Odd though it sounds, cosmic inflation is a scientifically plausible consequence (of some respected ideas) (in elementary-particle physics),//and many astrophysicists have been convinced for the better part of a decade that it is true .此句是由and連接兩個分句組成的并列句；第一段的主干結(jié)構(gòu)是：讓步狀語從句＋主句；其中，讓步狀語從句Odd though it sounds是成分前置，正常語序是though it sounds odd，主句的主語是cosmic inflation，謂語是系動詞is，表語是名詞短語a...consequence；consequence后面的of some respected ideas是其后置定語，in elementary-particle physics是前面ideas的后置定語；第二段中，主語是many astrophysicists，謂語是have been convinced，賓語是句末畫線表達(dá)that it is true（和前面的have been convinced形成搭配）；黑體表達(dá)是時間狀語，它分隔了前面謂語動詞和后面賓語從句。

【結(jié)構(gòu)分析】 　I shall define him as an individual//(who has elected as his primary duty and pleasure in life the activity of thinking in Socratic way about moral problems).第一段是句子的主干，主語是I，謂語是shall define，賓語是him, as an individual是賓語補足語；第二段是關(guān)系代詞who引導(dǎo)的定語從句，主語是who，謂語是has elected，賓語是the activity of thinking in Socratic way about moral problems，畫線的黑體表達(dá)as his primary duty and pleasure in life是賓語補足語，和前面的elect形成搭配，但此處的賓語表達(dá)顯然過長，出于句式結(jié)構(gòu)平衡的考慮，賓語被后置到句末，使得此句的黑體表達(dá)（賓補）在形式上分隔了動詞和其賓語；此外，在較長的賓語表達(dá)中，in Socratic way是thinking的狀語，亦分隔了thinking和about moral problems。

【詞匯精記】 　define...as 把……定義為；elect 選舉，推選，引申為“選擇”；individual 個體；primary 首要的；moral 道德的；Socratic 蘇格拉底（古希臘偉大的哲學(xué)家）；activity 行為；duty 責(zé)任；pleasure 樂趣。
