? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 每日一句allen’s con

tribution was to take an assumption we all share — that because we are not robots we therefore control our thoughts — and reveal its erroneous nature.
词汇打破
assumption [??s?mp?n] n. 假定；想象；担任；采纳erroneous [??r??ni?s] adj. 差错的；不正确的规划分析
语句的骨干规划是：allen’s contribution (主语) + was (系动词) + to take an assumption… and reveal its erroneous nature (表语)。其间，we all share 是定语从句，润饰 an assumption。that because we are not robots we therefore control our thoughts 是同位语从句，进一步说明和阐明 an assumption。同位语从句中，because we are not robots 是缘由状语从句，we therefore control our thoughts 是主句。参阅译文
艾伦的奉献是选用了咱们一切人都共有的假定——因为咱们不是机器人，所以咱们控制自个的思维——并提示了其差错的本质。
