The sweep of narrative in A. N. Wilson's biography of C. S. Lewis is impressive and there is much that is acute and well argued. But much in this work is careless and unworthy of its author. Wilson, a novelist and an accomplished biographer, has failed to do what any writer on such a subject as Lewis ought to do, namely work out a coherent view of how the various literary works by the subject are to be described and commented on. Decisions have to be made on what to look at in detail and what to pass by with just a mention. Wilson has not thought this problem out. For instance, Till We Have Faces, Lewis' treatment of the Eros and Psyche story and one of his best-executed and most moving works, is merely mentioned by Wilson, though it illuminates Lewis' spiritual development, whereas Lewis' minor work Pilgrim's Regress is looked at in considerable detail.
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
4.The author of the passage implies that Wilson's
examination of Pilgrim's Regress
A. was disproportionately long relative to the amount of
effort Lewis devoted to writing Pilgrim's Regress
B. was more extensive than warranted because of the
relative unimportance of Pilgrim's Regress
C. is not as coherent as his treatment of Till We Have
Faces
此段落就是TS+举例,举例的时候用了对比论证;考察考察的就是这个对比;
Wilson, has failed to work out a coherent view of how the various literary works。Decisions have to be made on what to look at in detail and what to pass by with just a mention. Wilson has not thought this problem out.
这是论点,就是说Wilson没有做到什么时候看细节,什么时候一道而过的评价别人的文章,没有详略有致。
For instance, Till We Have Faces,is merely mentioned by Wilson, though it illuminates Lewis' spiritual development, whereas Lewis' minor work Pilgrim's Regress is looked at in considerable detail。
Till we have face,中间一堆插入语我没摘过来写的是,这本书有多重要,却只是mentioned;马上接着对比whereas,另一本书pilgrim's regress只是minor work,却looked at considerable detail.
