We are obliged to them because some of theselanguages have since vanished, as the peoples whospoke them died out or became assimilated andlost their native languages.
译文:我们很感激他们,因为在此之后,由于说这些语言的部族或是灭绝,或是被同化并丧失了自己的本族语言,这些语言中有一些已经消失了。
点睛:本句的主干为we are obliged to them+ because引导的原因状语从句,该原因状语从句中还包含由as引导的另一个原因状语从句。who引导的是以peoples为先行词的定语从句。短语be obliged( to sb.) for sth. /doing sth.意为“受恩惠而感激(某人)”。die out此处意为“灭绝,逐渐消失”。
考点归纳:与动词die相关的常见短语还有:
*die away慢慢变弱,渐渐消失
The strange noise died away.
那奇怪的噪音慢慢消失了。
*die down减弱,平息
Don’t worry; the gossip will soon die down.
别担心,流言不久就会平息的。
*die off相继死去
The plants in the garden died off.
花园里的植物相继死去。
