睡前写了一篇,新人求批改! 十分十分感谢!!
The lecturer talks about the topic that whether the portrait of a teenage girl is Jane Austen. He argues several arguments to counter the author`s solid belief that the portrait is Jane Austen herself when she was a teenager and he believes that the reasons the author came up with are not inaccurate but totally indefensible when compared with what happened for true.
Firstly, Austen`s family never actually see Austen by themselves because she had been dead for 70 years by the time the portrait was authorized. So, the permission provided by them has little value. This directly confutes the author`s opinion that since the family had given permission to use the portrait as an illustration before, the portrait must be Jane Austen now.
At the second place, opposed to the opinion of the author, the professor believed that instead of Jane Austen, Marianne, a relative from the large Jane Austin family who were a teenager at that time is the role of the portrait. So, this is another point where listening material is in sharp contrast to the passage.
What`s more, the resemblance of the style is not a valid evidence. What`s more important is that the presenter states that though Ozias Humphrey was active in a period when Austen was a teenager, the William, the man who sold the canvases of the portrait had no means to sell the portrait at when Austen was a teenager, but at a older age. These discovery indicate that the date provided by the author is so doubtful that can`t be provided as an evidence.
