the method Gandhi proposed and practiced, first evolved in South Africa, was a sort of non-violent warfare, a way of defeating the enemy without hurting him and without feeling or arousing hatred.

参考答案:

本题考核知识点:后置定语的翻译和词义的选择。该句的主干结构是:the method... was a sort of warfare。主语the method后有两个后置定语:一个是省略关系代词的定语从句Gandhi proposed and practiced;另一个是过去分词短语first evolved in...。如果把它们都译为汉语的前置定语会很冗长,不符合汉语表达习惯。因此可把第一个定语前置,第二个定语转译为谓语。而真正的谓语前可加上“这”或“它”指代真正的主语。表语a sort of war
