问题      I recently read the Oxford【C1】______ of the Tolstoy’s War and Peace, translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude.【C2】______ my shame, I had never read it before, so I was【C3】______ to find myself reading a novel that seemed somehow familiar,【C4】______ with echoes of Jane Austen. This was an unexpected discovery, for generally Jane Austen is【C5】______ to Tolstoy as someone who writes only about limited domestic milieux rather than【C6】______ historical panorama 【C7】______ , what struck me about the Tolstoy I was reading were Austenesque details of【C8】______ relationships couched in Austenesque language. The question【C9】______ is whether this stylistic feature is  【C10】______ in Tolstoy in Russian, or whether it has been introduced through the【C11】______ . A second question,【C12】______ I shall probably never find an answer is how could I ever discover what was or was not added during the translation【C13】______ . We have to【C14】______ translators. They undertake to transpose texts written in a【C15】______ that we do not know and bring them into a language that we can read easily. We all like to talk【C16】______ we had direct access to other literatures, so that when I say I have just read War and Peace, everyone【C17】______ me to be saying I have read Tolstoy. But of course I have not read【C18】______ , because I have no Russian. I have read a translation. I have read the Tolstoy【C19】______ by a translator, and the echoes of Jane Austen I【C20】______ in my English Tolstoy were put there, consciously or unconsciously, by that translator. [br] 【C11】
选项 A、translator
B、author
C、translators
D、editor
答案 C
解析 此题考查名词的用法。如果把某种风格添加到一个译本之中，那肯定是译者(translator或者translators)所为，不可能是B项author。D项editor的工作是编辑，不可能去把翻译家的译本作改动。从上文我们看到，作者所读的Tolstoy的《战争与和平》的英文译本是由Louise and Aylmer Maude夫妇所译，所以我们应该选择复数C项translators而不是单数A项translator。
