When we think about the effect of the Copernican view of the world of literature, we are likely to slip into exaggeration. It is often said that the removal of the earth from its central place in a comfortably ordered system to the status of a minor planet in vaster space was fatal blow to man’s sense of his own dignity. This idea is philosophically foolish and historically false. Throughout the Middle Ages, even though man was considered the special child of God, the earth was regarded as the poorest part of creation. Copernicus was only looking for a simpler pattern of the heavens than Ptolemy’s and he found it. Despite the work of Kepler, Galileo, and the Elizabethan experts, moreover, it took well over a century for the theory to win full acceptance even among the learned.
As late as 1643, a hundred years after Copernicus’ book, a scientist named Browne declared movement of the earth impossible. The reasons for delayed victory were natural. Many educated as well as uneducated men resisted contradiction of the senses and the Bible, or of Aristotle, Ptolemy, and all tradition. Many others were simply unaware or indifferent, as most of us in the twentieth century felt no acute concern over Einstein’s discoveries. In either case, few had the mathematical knowledge needed for confirmation or even comprehension of the theory; indeed, the knowledge needed to confirm Copernicus was not fully available until Newton.
The author believes that the effect of the Copernican theory on literature______.
选项
A、has not often been considered
B、resulted from man’s loss of dignity
C、contradicted the senses
D、can easily be overestimated
答案
D
解析
can easily be overestimated指“很容易被过高估计”,符合题意,因为文章一开头就提到we are likely to slip into exaggeration,意为“我们不自觉地就会夸张”。
