I'm having trouble translating this sentence


By now I can usually understand even small texts, but I am having trouble
translating this one sentence. I think it hast to do with wrong parsing.

> 彼が注目を浴びるのを避けたということは、人々が知っておくべきだと私が思うほどには、彼について知らない、ということでもあります。

My attempt:

**The fact the he tries to avoid attention is that, The more I think I come to
the conclusion that people must know it, because they don't actually know
about him.**

> 彼が注目を浴びるのを避けたということは **The fact the he tries to avoid attention is that**
>
> 人々が知っておくべきだと私が思うほどには **The more I think I come to the conclusion that people
> must know it**
>
> 彼について知らない、ということでもあります **because they don't actually know about him.**

This sentence for some reason is very confusing for me, what you think of my
translation?

Thanks!




I'd parse it this way:

> ［彼が注目を浴びるのを避けた］ということは、［人々が｛（知っておくべきだ）と私が思うほどには、｝彼について知らない、］ということでもあります。

Its basic structure is 「～～ということは、・・・ということでもあります。」"～～ also means ・・・".

「～～ほど(に)(は)・・・ない」 means "not so ・・・ as ～～" "not ・・・ to the extent that ～～".

To break it down...

彼が注目を浴びるのを避けたということは、  
The fact that he avoided getting people's attention

（人々が）知っておくべきだと私が思うほどには  
to the extent that I think people should know

人々が...彼について知らない  
people don't know about him

ということでもあります。  
also means

To put them back together...

> "The fact that he avoided getting people's attention also means that people
> don't know about him to the extent that I think they should."
