请哪位英语高手能帮我翻译这句话,最好能分析一下句子结构：
Being African American is more than visual as blacks define themselves as much by self choice and societal definition as by ancestry.
请哪位英语高手能帮我翻译这句话,最好能分析一下句子结构：Being African American is more than visual as blacks define themselves as much by self choice and societal definition as by ancestry.
[Being African American][1] is [more than][2] visual
[as blacks define themselves][3] as much [by self choice and societal definition][4] as [by ancestry][5].
一处一处来看：
[1]
[Being African American]相信这一点不用多说,动名词结构做主语.
[2]
[more than]这个词组的用法相当多和复杂,其后可以接名词、动词、副词、分词、数词、形容词.不同用法的意义不尽相同.
这里用于后接形容词,这是其表达的意义为：[very].
也就是表示被修饰的形容词的强烈程度,非常；十分.例句：
He was more than upset by the accident．他为此事故深感不安.
They were more than glad to help us．他们非常乐意帮助我们.
In doing experiments,you must be more than careful with the precision instruments．
在做实验时,你必须特别小心这些精密仪器.
【所以此句中的more than...根本就不是比较级!而只是一个副词罢了】
[3]
连词as引导的状语从句啊.as引导的完整句子是整个后半句的全部.
blacks define themselves as much [by self choice and societal definition] as [by ancestry].
黑人们把自己define by...,即根据.来定义.主语blacks谓语define
[4][5]很显然是平行结构.
此处置于as much...as...结构中.其实就是等于the same...as...
就是说by [4]和by [5]的程度是一样的,这是后半句要陈述的事实.
他们的自我界定,既基于自我选择与社会定义,又基于自身的家族身世.
【翻译】
【当黑人同胞们将自主选择、社会定义与家族身世同时纳入自我界定的范畴,一个作为非裔美人的身份就显得再明显不过了.】
非裔美国人通过祖先定义自身比黑人通过自我选择和社会定义定义他们自身更为直观。
主句Being African American is more than visual by ancestry 。
作为非裔美国人并不像黑人通过自我选择而做出的定义，或者从血统的社会定义那样直观。
非裔美国人通过祖先定义自身比黑人通过自我选择和社会定义定义他们自身更为直观。
