The most common way we have of showing other people they are more important is by making ourselves smaller than they are.

谢谢

Answer 1

1. 翻译：我们所拥有的，用于向他人表明他们更加重要的最常见的方法，是通过使得我们自己比他们更加渺小（的方法）。

2. 分析：
1）句子主干是：The most common way is by making ourselves smaller than they are.
主句为主系表结构，主语the most common way，系动词is，表语是介宾短语by making ourselves smaller than they are.
该表语中，动名词短语making ourselves smaller than they are做介词by的宾语。
其中make是使役动词，ourselves为宾语，samller为宾语补足语，后面是一个比较状语从句than they are.
2）we have of showing other people they are more important为定语从句，修饰句子主语the most common way.
其中关系代词which/that，代替先行词the (most common) way，在该定语从句中充当谓语动词have的宾语，所以关系代词which/that可以省略。
即：(which/that) we have of showing other people they are more important
= we have (which/that) of showing other people they are more important
= we have (the way) of showing other people they are more important
其中含有固定搭配the way of doing sth = the way to do sth “做某事的方法”
3. 而showing other people they are more important也是一个固定搭配show sb sth；
sb即other people，sth即一个省略引导词that的宾语从句they are more important.

追答

这分真不好赚。。。SHOWING SOMEBODY they are more important，显得某人更重要，这些都是主语的定语。
我给你直译吧：我们通常用的显得别人更重要的方式就是把我们自己弄的更渺小。
这下明白了吧
