Step 6: Language appreciatin
1. The fact that Maya sciety was technlgically primitive makes its achievements all the mre incredible and mysterius.
[句式分析] “that Maya sciety was technlgically primitive”是 that 引导的同位语从句，解释说明主名词the fact的具体内容，引导词that只起引导性作用，不在从句中充当任何成分。
[尝试翻译] 事实上，玛雅社会在技术上是原始的，这使得它的成就更加难以置信和神秘。
2. This is likely t have led t a series f drught, each lasting fr a cuple f years.
[句式分析] “each lasting fr a cuple f years”是由“代词+ 现在分词”构成的独立主格结构。 其中动词last 与逻辑主语each 构成主动语态关系，故使用现在分词。
[尝试翻译] 这可能导致了一系列的旱灾，每一次旱灾持续几年时间。
3. Meanwhile, the rise and fall f this civilizatin must als leaves us thinking abut ur wn past, present and future.
[句式分析] “leave + 宾语+ 宾语补足语”表示“使处于某种状态”，宾语补足语可以是现在分词、过去分词、不定式、形容词、名词或小品词（n/ff; up/ dwn; away/ in/ut）。
