达尔文的思想
——2008年英译汉及详解
In his autobiography, Darwin himself speaks of his intellectual powers with extraordinary modesty. He points out that he always experienced much difficulty in expressing himself clearly and concisely, but【F1】
he believes that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long and intently about every sentence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own observations.
He disclaimed the possession of any great quickness of apprehension or wit, such as distinguished Huxley.【F2】
He asserted, also, that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics.
His memory, too, he described as extensive, but hazy. So poor in one sense was it that he never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry.【F3】
On the other hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning.
This, he thought, could not be true, because the "Origin of Species" is one long argument from the beginning to the end, and has convinced many able men. No one, he submits, could have written it without possessing some power of reasoning. He was willing to assert that "I have a fair share of invention, and of common sense or judgment, such as every fairly successful lawyer or doctor must have, but not, I believe, in any higher degree."【F4】
He adds humbly that perhaps he was "superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully."
Writing in the last year of his life, he expressed the opinion that in two or three respects his mind had changed during the preceding twenty or thirty years. Up to the age of thirty or beyond it poetry of many kinds gave him great pleasure. Formerly, too, pictures had given him considerable, and music very great, delight. In 1881, however, he said: "Now for many years I cannot endure to read a line of poetry. I have also almost lost my taste for pictures or music. "【F5】
Darwin was convinced that the loss of these tastes was not only a loss of happiness, but might possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character.
【F1】
选项
答案
达尔文认为或许正是因为语言表达上的这种困难,促使他对每句话进行长久认真的思考,从而发现自己在观察和推理中的错误,这反而使他具有了别人所不具备的优势。
解析
本句考查的重点是:宾语从句和动词的固定搭配。 本句的主干是he believes that…。believes后的that引导的是宾语从句,这里的very是形容词词性,意为“正是,恰恰是”,这里是强调本句中的difficulty就是上文提到的那个困难。本句中用到了“have the advantage of doing”的搭配,意为“利于…”。连词and在这里连接的是forcing和enabling。后一句中in引出了errors的范畴。
