New forms of thought as well as new subjects for thought must arise in the future as they have in the past, giving rise to new standards of elegance.

结构分析

整个句子是主谓结构：New forms of thought as well as new subjects for thought must arise。主语是New forms of thought as well as new subjects for thought，as well as并列两部分共同作主语。其后的in the future做时间状语，后面又跟了一个as引导的方式状语从句。句末则是分词短语giving rise to new standards of elegance作状语。

词汇释义

subject n. 主题，对象

arise v 出现，产生，引起，造成

elegance n. 优雅，简练
