2016考研英语经典长难句必背:人类改变环境的能力
Furthermore, humans have the ability to modify theenvironment in which they live, thus subjecting allother life forms to their own peculiar ideas andfancies.
译文:而且,人类有能力改变自己的生存环境,从而让其他所有生命形态都服从人类自己独特的想法和想象。
点睛:该句的主干是...humans have the ability...,其中which引导的是以environment为先行词的定语从句。thus subjecting...为整句的状语,其中subject sth.to...意为“使某事物服从于…”。
考点归纳:subject作形容词时也可与介词to连用,表示:
*易受…影响的
The area is subject to strong winds.
该地区易受大风袭击。
*易患…的
The little girl is subject to cold.
这个小女孩总是感冒。
*取决于…,有待于…
