vehement"激烈的"意思,造句.

英语翻译
Perhaps because they were a restless and vehement people,the Greeks came to prize the “classical” virtues,which they were the first to define.For them,the ideal lay in moderation,or a golden mean.They valued order,balance,symmetry,clarity,and control.Their statues revealed their conception of what man ought to be―a noble creature,dignified,poised,unterrified by life or death,master of himself and of his feelings.Their architecture,as in the Parthenon,made use of exactly measured angles and rows of columns.The classical “order,”or set of carefully wrought pillars placed in a straight line at specified intervals,represented the firm impress of human reason on the brute materials of nature.The same sense of form was thrown over the torrent of human words.Written language became contrived,carefully planned,organized for effect.The epic poem,the lyric,the drama,the oration,along with history and the philosophic dialogue,each with its own rules and principles of composition,became the “forms”within which,in Western civilization,men long continued to express their thoughts.
