(10) In many cases, the so-called edited narrative of
an ex-slave ought to be treated as a ghostwritten
account insofar as literary analysis is concerned
especially when it as composed by its editor from
“a statement of facts” provided by an African
(15) American subject. Blassingame has taken pains to
show that the editors of several of the more famous
antebellum slave narratives were “noted for their
integrity” and thus were unlikely to distort the facts
given them by slave narrators. From a literary
(20) standpoint, however, it is not the moral integrity of
these editors that is at issue but the linguistic,
structural, and tonal integrity of the narratives they
produced. Even if an editor faithfully reproduced
the facts of a narrator’s life, it was still the editor
(25) who decided what to make of these facts, how they
should be emphasized, in what order they ought to
be presented, and what was extraneous or germane.
Readers of African American autobiography then
and now have too readily accepted the presumption
(30) of these eighteenth-and nineteenth-century editors
that experiential facts recounted orally could be
recorded and sorted by an amanuensis-editor,
taken out of their original contexts, and then
published with editorial prefaces, footnotes, and
(35) appended commentary, all without compromising
the validity of the narrative as a product of an
African American consciousness.
2段开始就说编辑的自传被认为是“鬼文章”，后面有个“a statement of facts”，引号出现代表引用或反语，那么现在是什么呢？还用问，肯定是反语。前面是“鬼文章”，这样的文章能说真话吗？好，否了前面要讨论的真实性问题。继续读，发现后面B这个人站了出来为之辩护了并且也来了段“”，这里我们从前面知道作者肯定是否定，这里说是“内容真实”，主语又是B，显然是引用。LSAT的命题者真是用心良苦。紧接的两句话把“”的作用理解考查得天衣无缝。既然作者是否定态度，下面肯定接着就是驳斥吧！驳斥肯定是强转折，出现什么呢？强转折词！果然，后面20行来了我们久候的however！后面讲作者否决的理由，注意一下是哪几个方面，可能考细节题，哦！是关于对于moral integrity的缺乏。下面作者还不过瘾，再来个Even if，进一步以让步的方式从反面来批它，说主观能动性始终掌握在编辑者手里，而读者呢，很容易接受这种“重述”为事实，但是我们马上由too readily accepted the presumption即在一定假设基础上建立这种想法的。这种假设就是of 后的内容，其实我们马上知道这个假设就是一样东西转述后一定与原物等价，这个假设显然荒谬，“道听途说” 的古训都讲了几百年了，老美到今天还没意识到，真蠢！看透了这点把戏，你说LSAT难吗？这段作者就是说了authenticity的否定，先正说，再让步反着说，并且说了之所以到今天一个看似简单的问题还要拿出来纠正的原因是基于一个可笑的假设。弄到这里，你是作者，接下去你要说什么了，对了！interpretation 1的否定！怀抱着这样的信念，我们读下去吧！
