ing-bottom: 75%;">

90. For some he was the leading figure of the Modernist movement who redefined what poetry was and could be; and who, in his role as cultural adovocate, gave vital impetus to the literary careers of T.S. Eliot, James Joyce and Wyndham Lewis, among others.

【結構分析】

這是一個複合句。主幹部分是he was the leading figure of the Modernist movement，兩個who引導的定語從句都是修飾表語the leading figure的；後一個定語從句中，in … 介詞短語是從句的狀語，也可以看成是插入語。

【詞彙】

leading figure 領導人

advocate 倡導者

give vital impetus to 給予巨大的推進、促進

【句子譯文】

對於一些人來說，他是現代主義運動的領導人，他重新定義了什麼是詩歌及詩歌應該如何等問題。而作爲文化倡導者，他大力推進了T.S. Eliot、James Joyce 和 Wyndham Lewis 等人的文學事業。
