4.Great comic art is never otherwordly, it does not seek to mysitify us, and it does not deny ambiguity by branding evil whatever differs from good. Great comic artists assumes that truth may bear all lights, and thus they seek to accentuate contradictions in social action, not gloss over or trnascend them by appeals to extrasocial symbols of divine ends, cosmic purpose, or laws of nature.
这句话读了几遍还是没有理解意思。

就是说Great comic art不是异世界的东西，不迷惑我们，也不否认不精确的区分善恶这种做法。Great comic artists认为真理总有根据，因此寻求强调社会行为中的矛盾，而不是掩盖或者超越这些矛盾；而掩盖超越使用的是超社会神的终结，宇宙的目的和自然的法则。

5.There are, of course, very significant differences between fairy tales and dreams. For example, in dreams more often than not the wish fulfillment is disguised, while in fairy tales much of it is openly expressed.

中间的句子是倒装形式，应该是fulfillment is disguised more often than not the wish,意思就是在梦境中fulfillment更多的是被无意识的掩盖，而在神话故事中它则被公开的表现。fulfillment在这里不知道怎么解释，是义务的意思吗？当然，童话和梦之间是有很明显的区别的。比如，在梦里，愿望通常是被伪装起来的，而在童话故事里，大部分愿望是直接表达出来的。
wish fulfillment: 愿望满足

6.Many critics of Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counterpoint that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a "romantic" reading receives more confirmation. (1). according to the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the first and second parts of Wuthering Heights?|
a. the second part has received more attention from critics
b. the second part has little relation to the first part

先请问下这句话是啥意思啊？ counterpoint意为钢琴对位法 在这句话里又是什么意思？
RM$yC$\E/|f/|-C,F题目答案为d，我选的是a  是说第一部分与第二步分有抵触，所以第一部分"romantic"，所以第二部分就 less "romantic"？

Many critics [of Emily Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights] see its second part as a counterpoint that comments on, [if it does not reverse，插入语] the first part, where a "romantic" reading receives more confirmation.]这样应该能看懂了吧。
counterpoint可作为对照物解释，说明第二部分与第一部分由对比关系。插入语是在程度上给与限定，实际上暗示了第二部分与第一部分有类似相反的关系。

9.Plato--- who may have understood better what forms the mind of man than do some of our contemporaries who want their children exposed only to "real" people and everyday events----- knew what intellectual experiences make for humanity.
我看到这个句子就郁闷了。。文章第一句。。文章讲的是 meaning and importantance of fairy tales 句子抽象词比较多。请大家知道的帮忙翻译下。谢谢

Cqa1_6g^/Rw4. plato know intellectual experience make for humanity, 至于具体这个是怎么样的, 我猜下文一定展开这里

Plato--- who may have understood better what forms the mind of man than do some of our contemporaries who want their children exposed only to "real" people and everyday events----- knew what intellectual experiences make for humanity.

4t2u~5R:@%|I7))V!nWell, 可以这样理解，Plato本身是个比较思辨的人，所以他深知intellectual experience （个人认为指例如推理，归纳,分析这类的抽象的思维活动）对人类意味着什么，而我们现在的一些人却只让小孩接触一些daily events 和 "real" people (暗指那些人忽略了这种高层次的思维活动对小孩的重要性).作者对our contemporaries的态度是反对的，然后下面大概会写intellectual experience 的重要性吧...

Plato比我们同辈的人都更好的懂得是什么形成了人脑的思维,他知道什么样的充满智慧的经历能够塑造人性,而我们的同辈则仅仅希望他们的孩子与"真正"的人和琐事打交道

14(This is) A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give away abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower.
        h9tqp0I1vK_能不能告诉我这句话的谓语是什么，还有，杨鹏难句里将on the part of 翻译成“将其片面地理解为”，我实在是没看出来: )

我认为谓语是    might give away否则give away 的语态不对
另疑心a light that never was 后少了一词

这句不是个省略句吗？ 主体就是this is a desire

没有少就是that never was这个句子需要专业背景，主要是说hardy的作品得impulse不够强烈

18. Hardy was to some degree interested in exploring his characters' psychologies, though impelled less by curiosity than by sympathy.
.ypPWKk        e这里的sympathy应该怎么理解呢？理解成同情心说不通啊

我是这么理解的：Hardy某种程度上热衷于探究他笔下的角色的心理，(这种探究的倾向)并非只是出于好奇，而是因为他与角色的内心世界有着共鸣，即：Hardy笔下的角色的心理状态，往往便是作家本人曾经经历过的，因此它在探究角色心理的同时，也是在隐性的剖析自己的心理。

19.Such variations in size, shape, chemistry, conduction speed, excitation threshold, and the like as had been demonstrated in nerve cells remained negligible in significance for any possible correlation with the manifold dimensions of mental experience.

21. Thomas Hardy's impulses as a writer, all of which he indulged in his novels, were numerous and divergent, and they did not always work together in harmony Hardy was to some degree (5)interested in exploring his characters' psycholo- gies, though impelled less by curiosity than by sympathy.（这里的sympathy应该怎么理解？理解成同情心似乎没有道理？） Occasionally he felt the impulse to comedy (in all its detached coldness) as well as the impulse to farce, but he was more often 10)inclined to see tragedy and record it. He was also inclined to literary realism in the several senses of that phrase。（in the several senses of 应该怎么翻译？phrase指的是什么呢？） He wanted to describe ordinary human beings; he wanted to speculate on their dilemmas rationally (and, unfortu- (15)nately, even schematically（这里schematically应该怎么翻译？如果翻译成示意性的与rationally有什么关系呢？）); and he wanted to record precisely the material universe. Finally, he wanted to be more than a realist. He wanted to transcend what he considered to be the banality of solely recording things exactly and (20)to express as well his awareness of the occult and the strange.
In his novels these various impulses were sacrificed to each other inevitably and often. Inevitably, because Hardy did not care in the (25)way that novelists such as Flaubert or James cared, and therefore took paths of least resistance. Thus, one impulse often surrendered to a fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of exacting a compromise, simply disappeared. (30)A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a novelist- scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower.（throw over sth a light是一种习惯用法么？表示偏爱reality.之后的that代表什么呢？） In this (35)instance, the new impulse was at least an energetic one, and thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed style. But on other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly energizing impulse in favor of what was for him (40) the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly. When a relaxing impulse was indulged, the style-that sure index of an author's literary worth-was certain to become verbose. Hardy's weakness derived from his (45)apparent inability to control the comings and goings of these divergent impulses and from his unwillingness to cultivate and sustain the energetic and risky ones. He submitted to first one and then another, and the spirit blew where (50)it listed; hence the unevenness of any one of his novels。（where it listed应该怎么翻译？“；”后面的结构是不是应该看成一个省略了谓语句子呢？）His most controlled novel, Under the Greenwood Tree, prominently exhibits two different but reconcilable impulses-a desire to be a realist-historian and a desire to be a (55)psychologist of love-but the slight interlock- ings of plot are not enough to bind the two completely together. Thus even this book splits into two distinct parts.
