每日一句：

【分析】

●本句话结构比较简单，句首是状语，主语是the concept of private property，谓语动词是embraces，后面的宾语用not only….but also…连接，第二个宾语certain rights后面是including引导的结构作为解释，the right后面是or连接的to determine和to make构成并列。

【词汇】

●embrace v. 拥抱，[僻义]包含

[写作句型] the environmental protection embraces not only a series of laws and regulations but also the increased awareness of the public. 环境保护不仅仅只是一系列的法律法规，还有老百姓意识的增强。

●determine vt. 决定; v. be determined to do 下定决心做某事

contract n.合同；v.缩短，收紧 <区分 contact联系>
