[讨论]GWD3-Q35 to Q37

Historians who study European
     

women of the Renaissance try to mea-

sure “independence,” “options,” and

Line other indicators of the degree to which

(5) the expression of women’s individuality

was either permitted or suppressed.

Influenced by Western individualism,

these historians define a peculiar form

of personhood: an innately bounded

(10) unit, autonomous and standing apart

from both nature and society. An

anthropologist, however, would contend

that a person can be conceived in ways

other than as an “individual.” In many

(15) societies a person’s identity is not

intrinsically unique and self-contained

but instead is defined within a complex

web of social relationships.

In her study of the fifteenth-century

(20) Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, a

historian who specializes in European

women of the Renaissance attributes

individual intention and authorship of

actions to her subject. This historian

(25) assumes that Alessandra had goals

and interests different from those of her

sons, yet much of the historian’s own

research reveals that Alessandra

acted primarily as a champion of her

(30) sons’ interests, taking their goals as

her own. Thus Alessandra conforms

more closely to the anthropologist’s

notion that personal motivation is

embedded in a social context. Indeed,

(35) one could argue that Alessandra did

not distinguish her personhood from

that of her sons. In Renaissance

Europe the boundaries of the con-

ceptual self were not always firm

(40) and closed and did not necessarily

coincide with the boundaries of

the bodily self.

GWD-3-Q35:

The passage suggests that the historian mentioned in the second paragraph (lines 19-42) would be most likely to agree with which of the following assertions regarding Alessandra Strozzi?

             

  1. Alessandra was able to act more independently than most women of her time because she was a widow.

  2. Alessandra was aware that her personal motivation was embedded in a social context.

  3. Alessandra had goals and interests similar to those of many other widows in her society.

  4. Alessandra is an example of a Renaissance woman who expressed her individuality through independent action.

  5. Alessandra was exceptional because she was able to effect changes in the social constraints placed upon women in her society.

解释引用:In her study of the fifteenth-century  Florentine widow Alessandra Strozzi, a historian who specializes in European women of the Renaissance attributes individual intention and authorship of
  
actions to her subject.

请教一下,”a historian who specializes in Europea   women of the Renaissance attributes individual intention and authorship of  actions to her subject.“这句话是怎么翻译的?

我看GWD解析里面是这么写的”在对15世纪寡妇AS的研究中,一 位历史学家将她的个人意向和行为根源归于个人意识。“

这个翻译是不是有问题?her指那个widow,subject解释为意识?还是应该翻译成”这位历史学家将个人意向和行动作为她的研究主题“?

GWD3-Q37:   

In the first paragraph, the author of the passage mentions a contention that would be made by an anthropologist most likely in order to
     



A.      present a theory that will be undermined in the discussion of a historian’s study later in the passage

B.   offer a perspective on the concept of personhood that can usefully be applied to the study of women in Renaissance Europe

C.      undermine the view that the individuality of European women of the Renaissance was largely suppressed——研究对错

D.      argue that anthropologists have applied the Western concept of individualism in their research——没提到

lay the groundwork for the conclusion that Alessandra’s is a unique case among European women of the Renaissance whose lives have bee

key is  B,namely provide a perspective for study

But i cannot find where  the passage implies that this perspective can “unusually be applied to....”

是啊  楼主的gwd解释可以分享一下么~找了好久了

37 选项C为什么错?我对B的正确性没有怀疑,只是找不出理由排除C,仿佛它也很合理的样子。请NN们赐教~~~

谢谢你的解答先~~~

A里面的condensing为什么不是修饰最前面的clouds,做伴随?难道是逻辑结构不对??还是说一定是就近修饰的??

我还想顺便问下,要是ING做伴随的话,是不是被修饰的对象一定要就在附近,不能隔很远的那种啊??

谢谢了~!!

第一个问题attribute to只有“归因于”这样的意思。这个句子用来做SC不错。这个历史学家肯定是女的,因为“in her study of ...”。但是我觉得“to her subject”是指她的研究对象,即Alessandra Strozzi。

第一个问题里是usefully而不是unusually。用usefully是因为接下去研究Alessandra Strozzi的例子就是证明这个perspective是有意义的。
