Extraordinary creative activity has been characterized as revolutionary, flying in the face of what is established and producing not what is acceptable but what will become accepted.
参考答案:
要点：flying in the face of...和producing not...为并列分词短语，作表原因的状语。producing后的not what is acceptable but what will become accepted也是并列成分，作producing的宾语。flying in the face of...是悍然不顾，公然违抗之意。英文的被动句译成汉语的主动句，用泛指人称代词人们作主语。
译文：人们把非凡的创造性活动描绘成具有革新精神，它不但向已被公众确认的东西提出挑战，而且创立的不是现在能接受的而是将会被接受的东西。
