i can remember as a child being made to read an account of the squirrel by the famous naturalist buffon in which he asserted that the squirrel hardly ever descends to the ground.다른 곳은 어렵지 않은데요

as a child being made to read가목적절로 쓰인건 알겠는데 어떻게 해석해야 될지 모르겠어요

또 해석상 read앞에 make는 왜 붙은건지 알려주시면 감사하겠습니다.^^
