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。
