新东方考研英语必背500句

第060句

being interested in the relationship of language and thought, whorf developed the idea that the structure of language determines the structure of habitual thought in a society.

译文:沃尔夫对语言与思维之间的关系很感兴趣,并形成了这样的观点:在一个社会中,语言的结构决定习惯思维的结构。

点睛:该句的主干是whorf developed the idea...,现在分词短语being interested in...作句子的状语,所描述的对象就是句子的主语whorf。that引导的是idea的同位语从句,其中in a society作状语。

考点归纳:现在分词短语作状语一般有以下几种情况:

*表伴随动作

*表原因
feeling rather tired,1 went to bed.
