英语翻译
Such enduring and intricately meshed levels of technical achievement outstrip by far anything achieved by our distant ancestors.
outstrip by far...（蚂蚁的）这种复杂和持续的成就超越了我们祖先的任何一个成就,是官方翻译,但是我看到outstrip by 中outstrip是主动,by又是被动,一开始就没搞清到底是谁超越了谁,是人类的祖先超越了蚂蚁,还是蚂蚁超越了人类的祖先,by除了表示被…… 还能表示别的吗?

英语翻译Such enduring and intricately meshed levels of technical achievement outstrip by far anything achieved by our distant ancestors.outstrip by far...（蚂蚁的）这种复杂和持续的成就超越了我们祖先的任何一个成就,是
这里by far是一个短语.意思是远远超越.
outstrip的宾语是anything achieved by our distant ancestors.
所以翻译成蚂蚁远远超越了人类的祖先
