GRE语文问题,但不限于对GRE的提问
一道题:
THe author presents the life of Zane Grey with ______ unusual in a biographer: he is not even convinced that Grey was a good writer.
a. a zeal b. a deftness c. a detachment d. an eloquence e. an imaginativeness
正确答案是C
我的问题是,这道题解题关键是“ unusual in a biographer” 客观公正的描述不应该是传记作家们追求并在传记作家中普遍存在的现象吗?就像数学家对定义简洁准确的追求一样. 为什么这里却说 客观公正(a detachment) 是 unusual in a biographer 的呢?
如上所述, E 选项 imaginativeness 才应该是在 biographer 中unsual 的,而非C选项
Full Definition of DETACHMENT
1
:the action or process of detaching :separation
2
a :the dispatch of a body of troops or part of a fleet from the main body for a special mission or service
b :the part so dispatched
c :a permanently organized separate unit usually smaller than a platoon and of special composition
3
a :indifference to worldly concerns :aloofness
b :freedom from bias or prejudice

常用意思是3b,表示客观公正.注意3a,对于世俗观点的冷漠,英汉经常翻译成“超脱”.我觉得在这句话中的detachment应该是这个意思,说的是传记作者不顾世俗大众对于Grey的观点,这应该是这位传记作者的不寻常.另外,题目的最后一句:传记的作者甚至不相信Grey是一个好作家,应当是在暗示传记的作者与大众的观点不符.
