【昨日回顾】

Human beings in all times and places think about their world and wonder at their place in it. Humans are thoughtful and creative，possessed of insatiable curiosity.

人类无时无地不在探究他们所居住的这个世界，并且惊叹于他们所处的地方。人类有思想、有创造性，而且具有难以满足的求知欲。

【今日长难句】

Furthermore，humans have the ability to modify the environment in which they live，thus subjecting all other life forms to their own peculiar ideas and fancies.

【基础词汇】

modify vt. 修改，修饰；更改

subject sth. to …使服从；使遭受；受…管制

peculiar adj. 特殊的；独特的；奇怪的；罕见的

fancy n. 幻想；想象力；爱好

【句子分析】

1. 句子主干= 主谓宾= humans /have / the ability

2. 修饰成分：to modify the environment 为动词不定式做定语修饰the ability；in which they live 为定语从句，修饰the environment；thus subjecting all other life forms to their own peculiar ideas and fancies 为非谓语动词（v-ing形式）充当结果状语修饰主句。

【参考译文】

Furthermore，humans have the ability to modify the environment in which they live，thus subjecting all other life forms to their own peculiar ideas and fancies.

而且，人类还有能力改变自己的生存环境，从而让所有其他形态的生命服从人类自己独特的想法和想象。

【明日预告】

Therefore，it is important to study humans in all their richness and diversity in a calm and systematic manner，with the hope that the knowledge resulting from such studies can lead humans to a more harmonious way of living with themselves and with all other life forms on this planet Earth.
