GRE填空做到很有意思的一句话,我还做错了:

It is strange how words shape our thoughts and trap us at the bottom of deeply incised canyons of thinking, their imprisoning sides carved out by the river of past usage.

答案里有一段扩展知识:关于语言和思想的关系,这是语言学中关于『语言相关性』研究的话题。按照Benjamin Lee Whorf提出的理论,弱的语言相关性中,语言会影响思想;强的语言相关性中,语言会决定思想。这个理论在学术界引起了不少争议。
