每日一句

I shall define him as an individual who has elected as his primary duty and pleasure in life the activity of thinking in Socratic(苏格拉底的)way about moral problems.

词汇突破

elect[??lekt]

v. 选举；选择，决定（做某事）；（上帝）挑选（某人）（使其灵魂永远得救）

adj. 卓越的；蒙上帝挑选（而得救）的；当选（而尚未就职的）

n. 被选的人；上帝的选民；特权集体

moral[?m??r?l]

adj. 道德的；精神上的；品性端正的

n. 道德；寓意

结构分析

主句是 I shall define him as an individual，who 引导了一个超长定语从句，修饰 individual，可以采用前置法翻译，也可采取单独成句法翻译的方法。as his primary duty and pleasure in life 是状语成分，本应放在句末作补充说明，由于 elected 的宾语 the activity of thinking in Socratic way about moral problems 比较长，所以 as 引导的状语作了前置处理，形成倒装。
