The outpouring of contemporary
American Indian literature in the last two
decades, often called the Native
American Renaissance, represents for
(5) many the first opportunity to
experience Native American poetry. The
appreciation of traditional oral
American Indian literature has been
limited, hampered by poor translations
(10) and by the difficulty, even in the rare
culturally sensitive and aesthetically
satisfying translation, of completely
conveying the original s verse
structure, tone, and syntax.
(15) By writing in English and experimenting
with European literary forms,
contemporary American Indian writers
have broadened, their potential
audience, while clearly retaining many
(20) essential characteristics of their
ancestral oral traditions. For
example, Pulitzer-prize-winning author
N. Scott Momaday s poetry often treats
art and mortality in a manner that
(25) recalls British romantic poetry, while
his poetic response to the power of
natural forces recalls Cherokee oral
literature. In the same way, his
novels, an art form European in origin,
(30) display an eloquence that echoes the
oratorical grandeur of the great
nineteenth- century American Indian
chiefs.
According to the passage, Momaday s
poetry shares which of the following
with British romantic poetry?
Verse structure
Oratorical techniques
Manner of treating certain themes
Use of certain syntactical constructions
Patterns of rhythm and rhyme

答案:(C)
在过去的二十年中,当代美国印第安文学的大量涌现(常被称作“土著美洲文
艺复兴”,Native American Renaissance)对于许多人来说,代表着体验土著美洲
诗歌的首次机会。对美国印第安人传统口头文学的欣赏,一直被质量低劣的翻译所
限制和妨碍,并且即使是那种不可多得的既体现着文化敏感性,又在美学上令人满
意的译作,也难以完全传递出原作的诗体结构、语调和句法。
通过用英语来写作,并尝试实验欧洲文学形式,当代美国印第安作家们得以拓
宽了其潜在的读者对象,而与此同时,又明显保留了其祖先口头传统的许多本质特
征。例如,荣膺普利策奖(Pulitzer Prize)的作者N.Scott Momaday的诗作经常
以一种令人联想起英国浪漫派诗歌的方式来处理艺术与死亡此类主题;而与此同
时,他那充满诗意的对自然界力量之威力的反应,则令人联想起彻罗基(Cherokee)
口头文学。同样地,他的小说(一种源于欧洲的艺术形式)展示出一种力度,可谓
是与十九世纪美国伟大的印第安酋长的恢宏的演说风格有异曲同工之妙。
Which of the following is most likely
one of the reasons that the author mentions
the work of N. Scott Momaday?
To illustrate how the author believes
that members of the Native American
Renaissance have broadened their
potential audience
To emphasize the similarities between
Momaday s writings and their European
literary models
To demonstrate the contemporary appeal
of traditional Native American oral
literature
To suggest that contemporary American Indian
writers have sacrificed traditional
values for popular literary success
To imply the continuing popularity of
translations of oral American Indian
literature
