应该是：Walking for walking's sake may be as highly laudable and exemplary a thing as it is held to be by those who practise it。laudable 和 exemplary 在这里的意思是相近的，反正都是褒义词，值得称赞、提倡、鼓励、效仿的。这个句子的主要结构是Walking for walking's sake may be a thing。highly 是副词，修饰laudable 和 exemplary这两个形容词，三者又同时修饰后面的 a thing， 注意这里不用high，尽管high也是副词，因为这里涉及主观感情。所以 “highly laudible and exemplary a thing”就是一个名词，接下来我们将主要结构进行扩展 Walking for walking's sake may be (形容词）a thing as it is held to be。接下来继续补充完整，可以这样理解：仅仅为了走路而走路可能确实是一件值得赞赏并且仿效的事，正如它的实践者所坚持（或者 认为 hold）的那样。
