anthropology was by definition impossible as long as these distinctions between ourselves and the primitive,ourselves and the barbarian,ourselves and pagan,held sway over people`s mind.这里hold+sway是为什么啊,sway over 是摇摆不定的意思吧,那么hold sway over是不是可以解释成保持摇摆不定的意思?这样的话hold就是一个联系东西了,那为什么不是hold swaying或者是hold to sway呢,还是语法中有特殊的规定? 英语

【答案】 held是做these distinctions 的谓语动词,这里是 as long as 引导一个条件状语从句,在从句中,主语these distinctions 后有定语,用逗号隔开
