Part I Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher who is credited with laying the fundamentals (基础) of modern Western philosophy. He is a mysterious figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his most famous student Plato. Socrates has become well known for his contribution to the field of ethics. His method of teaching, known as the Socratic Method, by asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to explain ideas remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions. He also made important and lasting contributions to the field of epistemology (认识论) and logic, and the influence of his ideas and approach remains a strong foundation for Western philosophy that followed. Socrates was the most colorful figure in the history of ancient philosophy. His fame was widespread in his own time, and his name soon became a household word although he constructed no philosophical system, established no school, and founded no sect (宗派). 第 1 句： Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher who is credited with laying the fundamentals (基础) of modern Western philosophy. 主干部分：Socrates was a philosopher. 小定语： classical Greek 定语从句： who is credited with laying the fundamentals of modern Western philosophy. 表达法： be credited with : 认为某人有某事物； 把…归功于； 被认为； 归功于 例：Watt should be credited with inventing the steam engine. 人们把蒸汽机的发明归功于瓦特. lay the fundamentals of= lay the foundation of 为……奠定基础。注意， fundamentals,多指理论基础，从最基本的底层理论开始。而 foundation 则不强调这层意思。 第 1 句： Socrates was a classical Greek philosopher who is credited with laying the fundamentals (基础) of modern Western philosophy. 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。 第 2 句： He is a mysterious figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his most famous student Plato. 主干：He is a figure. 小定语： mysterious 大定语：known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, espe
