the whole structure of something, rather than the structure of one small part of it

Historically, man's activity does not change its general structure, its “macrostructure”. 从历史角度来看，人的活动并不能改变人类社会的总体结构，即其“宏观结构”。

The macrostructures of the texts of the same length and type were comparable. 同长度、同类型文本的宏观结构是具有可比性的。
