求大神帮我翻译一道GRE填空,The author argues for serious treatment of su
1个回答

作者提出要要认真对待诸如钩针编织及刺绣等工艺,结果发现许多艺术史学家存在文化盲从的现象,这要源于他们对纺织业的偏见,因为这一行业是由妇女艺术家所主导的.

分析:

[主语] The author [谓语] argues for [宾语] serious treatment of such arts as crochet and needlework,[作状语,修饰前面整个句子] finding in too many art historians [find宾语] a cultural blindness [宾补] _______ to their _________ textiles as a medium in which women artists predominate.

再看一下几个选项的含义:

A.traceable(起源于,可追踪的) prejudice against(偏见)

B.opposed(反对,反抗) distrust of(不相信,不信任)

C.referring.(谈及,提及,涉及) need for(需要,需求)

D.reduced(减少的,简化的) respect for(尊敬,敬重)

E.corresponding(相应的,一致的) expertise in(专长)

分析一下主句:

The author argues for serious treatment of such arts as crochet and needlework.

argue for是“论证,支持,赞成”的意思;

serious有很多含义,在这里是“严肃的,须认真对待的”意思;

treatment 是“对待,处理,论述”的意思.

主句大意为:作者提出要要认真对待诸如钩针编织及刺绣等工艺.

接下来分析状语部分:

finding in too many art historians a cultural blindness _______ to their _________ textiles as a medium in which women artists predominate.

finding in too many art historians a cultural blindness由这句话可知,很多艺术史学家存在文化盲从现象;

their指代的是art historians,所以第二空空格处所填词语在感情色彩上应与a blindness相对应;在语义上也应相符.

need,respect,expertise均为中性或含褒义色彩的词.所以可以先排除.

剩下A,B两项就容易做出选择了,从语义上判断,prejudice比distrust 更适合.是偏见导致了文化盲从而不是由于不信任引起的.
