2. It is because of the close association in most people’s minds of tools with man that special attention has always been focused upon any animal able to use an object as a tool,but it is important to realize that this ability,on its own,does not necessarily indicate any special intelligence in the creature concerned.
[句子分析]
[译文]
2. [分析]此句的框架是:It is because of...that... but it is important to realize that....并列连词but连接两个并列分句:前一个分句为强调句型It is... that...,强调原因状语because of —,在that后面的部分中,able to use an object as a tool作后置定语,修饰any animal;后一个分句中,it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to realize that..., realize后又跟由that引导的宾语从句,concerned同样是后置定语修饰the creature 。另外,需要注意的是,the close association in most people's minds of tools with man中in most people's minds把 the close association of tools with man (工具与人类的密切联系) 分隔开来,使得此句难以理解。
[译文]正是由于在大多数人头脑中工具与人类联系密切,人们才特别关注能把物体当工具使用的任何一种动物。但值得注意的是,这种能力就其自身而言,并不一定表明这种动物有什么特别的智慧。
