40题我选择的是e refrain from 要注意是跟原文立场不同的 Scholars of women’s history should, however, be as cautious about accepting oral narratives at face value as they already are about written memories 这个是原文的话, 很明显是e啦~ 39我选的是b The political rhetoric of a particular era, for example, may infl uence women’s interpretations of the signifi cance of their experience. 这个是原文的原句,所以我选的b~

谢谢snail007! 不过我还有些疑问,借ttss的地盘问一下: 1. 关于OG的解释:The last sentence does not provide a particular example of an oral narrative. 在我看来,最后一句话就是举了一个具体的例子啊,难道OG的重点是说举得不是oral narrative的例子吗? 2. 关于snail007说的“文中说口头描述会被社会/文化/政治所影响,但是从没有说这是不准确的”,原文27行说“may reach that conclusion partly and unwittingly”, 这不能推出inaccurately么? 我的意思就是说,也许C选项的错误点不在inaccurately, 而在an example of oral narrative. 希望好心人能解答一下,万分感谢
介绍运用女性口头叙述来进行女性历史研究的方法:优点-从女性视角出发→however应该cautious:1.no more likely to provide a disinterested commentary 2.moreover叙述的故事受叙述者本身的习惯和文化历史影响-举例:特定时期的政治修饰对口头评论的影响- 子例:二战
