TPO1-2 The Origin of Theater

Another condition that contributes to the development of autonomous theater is the emergence of the aesthetic sense.For example,some early societies ceased to consider certain rites essential to their well-being and abandoned them,nevertheless,they retained as parts of their oral tradition the myths that had grown up around the rites and admired them for their artistic qualities rather than for their religious usefulness.

For example,some early societies ceased to consider ((essential to their well-being)+(certain)) rites and abandoned them ,nevertheless,they retained((that (around the rites)had grown up  and (for their artistic qualities rather than for their religious usefulness)admired them ) the myths ) as parts of their oral tradition .

例如，一些早期社会学家停止去研究（对于他们的幸福来说至关重要的）某些仪式并且舍弃它们，但是他们仍将（对于仪式来说已经发展过了的并且因为它们的艺术价值而不是它们的宗教价值而受人喜爱的）神话作为他们的部分口语传统。

让步关系：停止研究仪式但是仍将神话作为传统。
