GRE阅读经典句型总结（10）

　　101. Although it has been possible to infer from the goods and services actually produced what manufactures and servicing trades thought their customers wanted,only a study of relevant personal documents written by actual consumers will provide a precise picture of who wanted what.

　　尽管有可能从实际制造的商品和服务中可推知制造商和服务业认为他们的顾客所需要的是什么，但只有对由实际顾客撰写的相关的个人文件进行一番研究，方能提供一幅精确的图画，藉以说明什么样的人需要什么样的东西。

　　102. With regard to this last question, we might note in passing that Thompson, while rightly restoring laboring people to the stage of eighteen-century English history, has probably exaggerated the opposition of these people to the inroads of capitalist consumerism in general: for example, laboring people in eighteen-century England readily shifted from home-brewed beer to standardized beer produced by huge, heavily capitalized urban breweries.

　　关于这个最后的问题，我们可以顺便指出，T尽管正确的使劳动人民重返十八世纪英国的历史舞台，但是她又可能吹嘘了这些人对于资本主义消费观在普遍意义上的敌视态度;比如说，十八世纪的英国劳动人民就很容易从家酿的啤酒转而引用由大型的、资本密集的城市酿酒厂生产的标准啤酒。In passing:顺便的、随便的、偶然的。

　　103. The correlation of carbon dioxide with temperature, of course, does not establish whether changes in atmospheric composition caused the warming and cooling trends or were caused by their.

　　他们相信，诸如灵与肉的问题，或更普遍而言，人类知识的性质等此类哲学关注，均是一些基本的人类问题，其探索性的哲学答案已构成一个必要的基础，其它所有的智力思辩均赖以建立其上。

　　105. The idea of an autonomous discipline called philosophy, distinct from and sitting in judgment on such pursuits as theology and science turns out,on close examination,to be of quite recent origin.

　　细作审视，我们便不难发现，一种被称为哲学的独立学科既有别于神学和科学诸般学科，并高高在上地对其予以评判的思想，其渊源却是甚为近期的事。

　　注：sit in judgment on :审视，做出判断;pursuit:不是追求，而是指被从事的事业=occupation, career, interest, etc. turn out:被证明是，实际是。

　　106. They were fighting, albeit discreetly, to open the intellectual world to the new science and to liberate intellectual life from ecclesiastical philosophy and envisioned their work as contributing to the growth, not of philosophy, but of research in mathematics and physics.

For the woman who is a practitioner of feminist literary criticism, the subjectivity versus objectivity, or critic-as-artist-or-scientist, debate has special significance; for her, the question is not only academic, but political as well, and her definition will court special risks whichever side of the issue it favors.

　　对于一个从事女权主义文学评论的妇女来说，主观性还是客观性，或者说评论家应该做艺术家还是作科学家的争论有着特殊的重要性;对她来说，此问题不仅仅是学术上的，而且还是政治上的，并且她所给出的定义，不管有利于问题的哪一方面，都会招致特殊的风险。

　　110. If she defines feminist criticism as objective and scientific a valid, verifiable, intellectual method that anyone, whether man or woman , can perform the definition not only precludes the critic-as-artist approach, but may also impede accomplishment of the utilitarian political objectives of those who seek to change the academic establishment and its thinking, especially about sex roles.

　　假如她把女权主义文学评论定义为客观的和科学性的一个有效的、可证实的、理性的、无论男女都可以使用的方法那么，这个定义不仅将排挤掉批评家作为艺术家的方法，而且可能会阻碍那些寻求改变学术界的现状的及其思维，特别是有关性别角色的思维的人们的实用主义的政治目标的成就。
