译文: (那些人类学家们归诸进化的)角色 规定人类行为的细节, 一个建立某种行为上的限制[——即确定(在任何文化的原型场景下都会“自然而然地产生的”)感觉、思考和行动的方式]的角色

explain

解释: 尽管我们很熟悉the role of something这种表达,但本句中the role of被作者用得很活。首先,在role后面有一个省略了引导词that的定语从句(因为role在从句中作ascribe的宾语),这样就把role和系动词is隔得很远。其次,but 前面的句子的主要结构The role is not of doing something其实是The role is not the role of doing something的省略形式,因为后面的the role与前面的完全重复,如果不把它省略掉,谁看到都要觉得罗嗦。因为同样的道理,but 之后的one of imposing constraints上是is one role of imposing constraints的省略形式。
