by which 的意思是by the kind----------exhibit the kind of curiosity
chimpanzees exhibit the kind of curiosity by the kind (that) new patterns of behavior and expression can be passed on from one to another by imitation and practice
google了一下,by curiosity,by+无定冠词的名词,表原因。而by the kind of curiosity没有查到。
我试着翻译一下。
chimpanzees exhibit the kind of curiosity by which new patterns of behavior and expression can be passed on from one to another by imitation and practice.
看了一個國外的板, 一個tutor指出"so that"是不能對的, 因為"so that"表"所以", 而且那個"原因是有目的", 就是說, 如果用了"so that", 那chimpanzees exhibit the kind of curiosity是為了new patterns of behavior and expression can be passed on from one to another by imitation and practice. "by which"在這是表through which, 一個沒有目的東東導致別外一個事: the kind of curiosity that chimpanzees exhibit<--一個沒有目的東東 導致別外一個事: new patterns of behavior and expression can be passed on from one to another by imitation and practice. 希望這次說清楚... 不清楚, please post ;-)
