Tylor defined culture as “… that complex whole which includes belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.”

Step one：谓语动词

defined, includes

Step two: 连接词

which

Step three：分析句子

①句子主干：Tylor defined culture as “... that complex whole” 翻译为：把……定义为

②That在这里为代词，修饰complex whole

③which引导的定语从句修饰that complex whole，因从句较长，翻译时可以后置。

④过去分词短语acquired by...作后置定语限定其前面的名词belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits，这些名词是并列关系。

泰勒把文化定义为“……一个复杂的整体，它包括人作为社会成员获得的信仰、艺术、道德、法律、风俗以及其它能力和习惯”。

Thus, the anthropological concept of “culture”, like the concept of “set” in mathematics, is an abstract concept which makes possible immense amounts of concrete research and understanding.
