标志： My point is that its central consciousness —its profound understanding of class and gender as shaping influences on people's lives —owes much to that earlier literary heritage , a heritage that, in general , has not been sufficiently valued by most contemporary literary critics.

译文： 我的观点 是 ，其中心的意识 ——即其深刻的把阶级和性别理解 （understanding）成 （as）对人们的生活起到一个塑造性的影响的作用 —— 很大程度上是得益于 那个更早的文化遗产 ，一个总体而言 没有被当代的文学评论家所足够重视的遗产。

解释： 宾语从句中的主语和谓语被长插入语分开，造成阅读障碍。插入语中一个固定搭配understanding of A as B，是把A理解成B的意思。不过本句子中as的宾语不容易理解：shaping influences on people's lives可以理解成“形成了对人们生活的影响”也可以理解成“对人们生活的塑造性（决定性）影响”。当然后面的理解是正确的，然而在阅读现场想要在瞬间做出正确判断，还有赖于考生的阅读理解力和词汇功底的深浅。

插入语后面还有一个固定搭配：A owes much to B，指前者有很多东西是来自于后者、得益于后者的。
