解釋：focus A on B指把A集中于B，本句中介詞on的賓語(yǔ)determining/more accurately the status of women invarious periods中有一個(gè)小倒裝，正常語(yǔ)序應(yīng)該是determining the status of women in various periods more accurately.
意群訓(xùn)練：In large part as a consequence of the feminist movement， historians have focused a great deal of attention in recent years on determining more accurately the status of women in various periods.
If one begins by examining why ancients refer to Amazons ， it becomes clear that ancient Greek descriptions of such societies were meant not so much to represent observed historical fact –real Amazonian societies – but rather to offer “moral lessons” on the supposed outcome of women‘s rule in their own society . 如果我們先研究一下為什么古人會(huì)提到亞馬遜人，下面的一點(diǎn)就變得清晰了，那就是古希臘對(duì)于這種社會(huì)的廟睡不是太多的被用來(lái)表達(dá)觀察的歷史事實(shí)——真正的亞麻遜社會(huì)的——而是為了對(duì)于婦女在其社會(huì)中的統(tǒng)治的預(yù)期后果提供一種“道德教導(dǎo)”。
