求英语大神解析个句子

It seems a petty thing to have this information,but perhaps it tells us to look again,and look deeper.We are ideed a social species,more dependent on each other than the celebrated social insects we are obliged,as a species,to rely on each other.
这句话中the celebrated social insects we are obliged是什么意思，怎么翻译

Answer 1

是不是断句上出了问题，应该是这样 We are ideed a social species,more dependent on each other than the celebrated social insects.这是一句
we are obliged,as a species,to rely on each other.这是另一句。

前一句的意思就是，我们人类有别于那些著名的有社会体系的昆虫，我们更加依赖彼此。
后一句意思是说，我们注定就是一个彼此依赖的种族

标号为33的最后一段开头的话。
It seems a petty thing to have this information，but perhaps it tells us to look again，and look deeper．
=====================
We are indeed a social species，more dependent on each other than the celebrated social insects，we can no more live a solitary life than can a bee。
======================
We ale obliged，as a species，
to rely on each other—Trust is a fundamental requirement for our kind of existence，and without it all our linkages would begin to snap loose．
=====================
It is enough，quite enough，to know that we cannot even tell a plain untruth，and betray a trust，without scaring some part of our own brains．

断句用划线表示。

这话要完全理解，需要上下文。

关于撒谎的那个information，看起来是让人觉得无情的，但是它也许提示我们再深入想想。
我们实际上是社会性的生物，比那些一直被认为是社会性的昆虫还要更加依赖彼此。
celebrated我觉得是well known的意思。

直接的翻译意思有点不通，从山下文判断，这里的意思是：跟一般群居的昆虫(比如蚂蚁)比，作为一个种族，我们更依赖彼此。 we are obliged是一种force to rely on each other, 我们是一种主动的需求而不是被动的生存本能。
