句子的大概意思是那男人有权选择去询问那个被塑造成拥有消极形象的人,问他是怎样参与到这过程当中的.
the man has the choice of asking for the way后面引出一个定语从句,
the way the person is involved in the process.先行词是the way,这时候优先选择是省略引导词,其次是用in which, 最后是用that, 这里就是省略了引导词,the way the person is involved in the process 那人是怎样参与到这一进程当中的, the way表示方式
然后 characterized as passive 过去分词作后置定语,相当于 the person who ischaracterized as passive被塑造出拥有消极形象的那个人.
