问题：英语翻译Civilizationisthefruitofman' 
ivilization is the fruit of man's struggle to discover and assert his humanness in the face of the impersonal forces of nature and his own potential violence on the one hand and the remote powers of gods on the other hand.请教高人，这句话应该怎样理解？to discover and assert his humanness是不是ivilization is the fruit of man's struggle to discover and assert his humanness in the face of the impersonal forces of nature and his own potential violence on the one hand and the remote powers of gods on the other hand.请教高人，这句话应该怎样理解？to discover and assert his humanness是不是修饰struggle？而in the face of ...这段是不是修饰civilization的？怎么翻译能够体现force和power的不同呢？另外，如何翻译elaborate ceremonies 和 rites of religion, marriage,and burial能更好体现两种“仪式”的不同。非常感谢。
