　　1.^they-that
7 n. Q6 ~1 z# ^& f) B8 H$ p9 G- f0 k　　分句后的分句应有它独立的主谓结构，正像它前面的结构一样。而后半句的谓语是is，表语是fact，主语似乎是缺失的，因此在they前面加上that就构成了主语从句作为这半句的主语。
  I- s) g; K$ P% n5 i* }　　2.stimuli-stimulus
" \2 I+ [* V  s' [$ s　　stimuli看似单数实则是stimulus的复数形式，因此应改为stimulus。

! T- G$ Z9 X1 w; L( p: r　　上一句话指明美国文化中眼睛的重要性，而这一句话似乎指出日本文化中眼睛并不具有同样的重要性，因此两句话的关系是转折而不是递进。

　　句子中有一个as……as比较结构。
