1、每日一句長難句

Tom came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism which, in its strongest form, states that language imprisons the mind, and that the grammatical patterns in a language can produce far reaching consequences for the culture of a society.

2、【分析】

句子的主幹爲Tom came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism。which引導限制性定語從句，修飾linguistic determinism。在由which引導的定語從句中，in its strongest form是插入語，謂語動詞states跟了兩個賓語從句：一是that language imprisons the mind，一是and that the grammatical patterns…society。

come to 逐漸

state v.闡明

imprisons the mind “禁錮思想 (或思維)”,注意不能譯成“把大腦 (或思想) 關進牢房”

far reaching 深遠的

consequence 影響

4、【譯文】
