Paragraph 6: For example, some early societies ceased to consider certain rites essential to their well-being and abandoned them, nevertheless, they retained as parts of their oral tradition the myths that had grown up around the rites and admired them for their artistic qualities rather than for their religious usefulness. (high-lighted sentence) ○A society’s rites were more likely to be retained in the oral tradition if its myths were admired for artistic qualities. ○The artistic quality of a myth was sometimes an essential reason for a society to abandon it from the oral tradition. ○Some early societies stopped using myths in their religious practices when rites ceased to be seen as useful for social well-being. ○Myths sometimes survived in a society’s tradition because of their artistic qualities even after they were no longer deemed religiously beneficial. 答案是4,這句有點看不懂,尤其是"they retained as parts of their oral tradition the myths that had grown up around the rites and admired them" 中間的"the myths"感覺像是插進去的,另外最後的them指的又是誰 麻煩高手解惑 感謝!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 58.114.219.220
