这里注意下划线的这个动词属于非谓语里的补语，前面一个句子结束，跟一个逗号之后，可以用现在分词（主动）过过去分词（被动）做补语。

尽管关于端午节起源的传说很多，如今流传最广的是端午节源于纪念战国末年爱国诗人屈原。

despite having many origins and legends surrounding it, the festival is today acknowledged and celebrated by most Chinese in memory of Qu, who lived in the latter part of the Warring states Period (475-221 BC ).

despite = in spite of 虽然

这里介词，后面是加名词，而although, though, while 虽然，是连接词，后面是加句子。

surrounding 在这里是现在分词作定语，是围绕它的起源和传说。surrounding 还可以是形容词，周围的，如果加“s”, 则是一个单复数同形的名词，周围环境。

in memory of 纪念

who 前面有个逗号，非限制性定语从句。

the latter 后者，the former 前者。

that 引导的是一个限制性定语从句，我们常说，限制性定语从句，that万能，而非限制性定语从句不能用that.

书中记载屈原是战国时期楚国怀王的大臣。

Qu was a minister in the court of King Huai in the Chu state during the Warring States Period .

公元前278年，秦国攻楚，占领楚国国都。眼见故土被侵，屈原心如刀绞。他不能承受去国离乡之痛，最终投汨罗江自尽。

In 278 BC , the Qin Army conquered the Chu capital. Seeing that his homeland had been invaded, Qu was heartbroken. He could not bear to abandon his home, and committed suicide by drowning in the Miluo River.

Seeing..., 现在分词作状语。

commit 实施，犯，承诺

commit suicide 实施自杀

commit crime 犯罪

commit to each other 彼此做出承诺

commit to doing something 对做......做出承诺

commit to do something 决定做......

屈原死后，楚国人民悲伤万分，聚在汨罗河边悼念屈原。

Legend has it that after Qu ＇ s death, the Chu people were deeply saddened and flocked to the river to pay their respects.

这句使用了完全倒装。主要是主语太长，为避免头重脚轻而使用倒装。
