饭饭,我不太赞同你说得。我觉得 "whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century" = the recent historiographical (HG) debate
 
  原文说BB没有涉及这个HG debate,但L涉及到了。
 
  这题定位在最后一句话的前半句: "BB provides ... for questioning the myth, fostered by some historians, of a colonial golden age in the 18c"
 
  "myth" is legend - something not necessarily true this myth is hold by some historians here it's "the myth of a colonial golden age in the 18c", meaning that: according to the myth, 18c (colonial era) is a good time (golden) for women
 
  Therefore, choice (C): The colonial era was not as favorable for women as some historians have believed. 
 
 
 
 
 
  
15阅读中--->question the myth ,那个myth到底指啥呀?读两遍了还是没明白。-- by 会员 sunny20111126 (2012/3/26 20:39:15)
 
我觉得此处myth指代:“whether women gained or lost status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century. ”(此处引用原文,是从句部分,希望同学能够理解)。更进一步理解,觉得myth含义可以具体到:Women gained status in the nineteenth century as compared with the eighteenth century. 个人认为主要是对该历史观点的部分驳斥。 另外,前面的"in contrast" 主要是对两方研究人员的研究方法上的不同。  open to discuss~ -- by 会员 泾渭不凡 (2012/3/27 19:49:30)
