英语牛人帮帮忙看看这个长句子吧
请您看看这个长句吧,
Yet members of the nation's present educational and cultural elite still cling to the notion that the USA belongs to some vaguely defined entity they refer to as "Western civilization,"
by which they mean,presumably,a civilization created by people of Europe,as if Europe can even be viewed as completely uninfluenced by the rest of the world.
针对上面这句话,其中by which they mean,我有点疑问,这里为什么要加上这个by呢,这个by到底在句中是和谁搭配的呢

which指 "Western civilization",by在此有凭借、借助、依据之意
