- 主题:帮忙看看对这个长句的分析是否正确？
分析正确。predominantly相当于obviously的说法值得商榷。

城市化在人类学中应当有标准的定义，各个地方的说法肯定大同小异啊。
【 在 restlessmind 的大作中提到: 】
: 前面有人讲了，towns and cities是主语。 我又google也一下，发现Wikipedia和大英百科的这个句子很像
: urbanization, the process by which large numbers of people become permanently concentrated in relatively small areas, forming cities.

实际上就是：
Predominantly by the process (of urbanization), towns and cities are formed and become larger as more people begin living and working in central areas.
或者
Towns and cities are, predominantly by the process (of urbanization), formed and become larger as more people begin living and working in central areas.
【 在 McJohn 的大作中提到: 】
: It is predominantly the process by which towns and cities are formed and become larger as more people begin living and working in central areas.
: 这个by是对process的解释，表示通过以下的原因导致……
: which代表的是process，它是这个长句后半部分(by之后)的主语，从towns到句尾都是在阐述which所代表的process.
