explain

解释: 与前面的绝大多数句子相比,本句的结构算不上复杂。但是由于句意抽象,所以读到the cultivation of individual powers to be placed in service to the community的时候容易读不懂,因为后面的这个不定式既有可能是修饰cultivation的,也有可能是修饰individual powers的。这里修饰的是后者。而且这里的individual powers to be placed in service to the community不应翻译成“被投入到对社会服务的个人力量”,因为如果原文真是为了表达这个意思,则其只需说“individual powers to serve the community”即可。此处是强调这种individual power被置于的一种位置、一种定位。当然这种细微的差别不一定会影响答题,但有时会对文章的理解产生影响。
