[問題]大全TEST A ,5

5. Johnson is on firm ground when he asserts that the early editors of Dickinson’s poetry often distorted her intentions. Yet Johnson’s own, more faithful, text is still guilty of its own forms of distortion. To standardize Dickinson’s often indecipherable handwritten punctuation by the use of the dash is to render permanent a casual mode of poetic phrasing that Dickinson surely never expected to see in print. It implies that Dickinson chose the dash as her typical mark of punctuation when, in fact, she apparently never made any definitive choice at all.
Which of the following best summarizes the author’s main point?
(A) Although Johnson is right in criticizing Dickinson’s early editors for their distortion of her work, his own text is guilty of equally serious distortions.
(B) Johnson’s use of the dash in his text of Dickinson’s poetry misleads readers about the poet’s intentions.
(C) Because Dickinson never expected her poetry to be published, virtually any attempt at editing it must run counter to her intentions.
(D) Although Johnson’s attempt to produce a more faithful text of Dickinson’s poetry is well-meaning, his study of the material lacks sufficient thoroughness.
(E) Dickinson’s editors, including Johnson, have failed to deal adequately with the problem of deciphering Dickinson’s handwritten manuscripts.

Ans:(B)

可否解釋一下(E)的意思?

[游客]

Choice E meas those who want explain Dickinson's text,like Johnson, can not explain the Dickinson’s handwritten manuscripts.

In the question discription, they do not mentione that they have faied to explain.
So choice E is over-inference.

The above is my opnion, please discuss it more deeply.

Johnson is on firm ground when he asserts that the early editors of Dickinson’s poetry often distorted her intentions.
(Johnson認為早期Dickinson詩集的編輯出版商都扭曲了Dickinson本身所寫的詩的義涵)

To standardize Dickinson’s often indecipherable handwritten punctuation by the use of the dash is to render permanent a casual mode of poetic phrasing that Dickinson surely never expected to see in print.
(Dickinson在她的詩裡面用了很多破折號-(dash)來做為她本身一些有的沒有的註記,而她並沒有想過之後這些詩會被出版商印製發行)

Which of the following best summarizes the author’s main point?
(破折號代表文意的的轉折,x論在英文和中文上都一樣,選項D就是說明Johnson認為之所以大多數人會扭曲Dickinson的詩就是因為那些dash本來並非拿來做dash用的dash)

小小看法~請多指教~

不好意思, 我還是不太明白為什麼E錯,

Dickinson’s editors, including Johnson, have failed to deal adequately with the problem of deciphering Dickinson’s handwritten manuscripts.

題目不正說明這些人都沒有充分解釋Dickson的詩集嗎?
