Ethnologists had a distinct reason for wanting to
hear the stories: they were after linguistic or anthropo-
logical data that would supplement their own field
observations, and they believed that the personal
stories, even of a single individual, could increase their
(10) understanding of the cultures that they had been
observing from without
1.這裡的they是指ethnologist嗎??
如果是的話,那第一句話不就變成了"Enthnologists were after the linguistic or anthropological data"
-->民族學者在與研學者和考古人類學者的資料後
.....有些不懂????
2. 再來,"that would supplement their own field observation"是形容前面的名詞data吧??
那麼是不是說明語言與考古人類學者的data只是民族學家的補充物呢??
所以我可以這樣說嗎??
民族學家利用story,並加上語言學者與人類學者的data為資料基礎
我是這樣想的
如果data只是補充物的話,那麼66題的C就有可能正確
66. It can be inferred from the passage that a characteristic of the ethnological research on Native Americans conducted
during the nineteenth century was the use of which of the following?
(A) Investigators familiar with the culture under study
(B) A language other than the informant’s for recording life stories
(C) Life stories as the ethnologist’s primary source of information
(D) Complete transcriptions of informants’ descriptions of tribal beliefs
(E) Stringent guidelines for the preservation of cultural data
