实际上,在试图证明想象力比圣伯夫所假定的更有远见,且更不局限于智力.蒲鲁斯特引用自身的一些很重要的回忆,在他们之间找出细微的关联,为＜Remembrance.＞收集素材.
【分析了好久终于弄懂了,句子大致结构是这样的；
In effect,in trying to demonstrate that （the imagination） is 【more】 profound and（ less submissive to the intellect）【 than】（ Saint-Beuve assumed）,Proust elicited vital memories of his own and,finding subtle connections between them,began to amass the material for Remembrance.
the imaginationismore profound than
less submissive to the intellect　在这里less没有和后面than构成比较级,只是单纯 和profound并列修饰imagination.
