文章释义：

1

Late-eighteenth-century English cultural authorities seemingly concurred that women readers should favor history, seen as edifying, than fiction, which was regarded as frivolous and reductive.

十八世纪晚期的英国文化权威们似乎都认同，女人应该喜欢读历史作品超过小说，前者陶冶情操，后者肤浅且简化。

2

Readers of Marry Ann Hanway’s novel Andrew Stewart, or the Northern Wanderer, learning that its heroine delights in David Hume’s and Edward Gibbon’s histories, could conclude that she was more virtuous and intelligent than her sister, who disdains such reading.

M A H 的小说 A S 或 t N W 的读者，意识到女主角很喜欢读 D H 和 E G 的历史著作，可以断定女主角比她那讨厌历史读物的姐妹更聪明，也更有德行。

3

Likewise, while the naïve, novel-addicted protagonist of Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey, Catherine Morland, finds history a chore, the sophisticated, sensible character Eleanor Tilney enjoys it more than she does the Gothic fiction Catherine prefers.

同样，尽管 J A 的小说 N A 中天真，爱读小说的主角 C M 认为历史书很烦，但成熟通达的角色 E T 更爱读史书，超过 C 喜欢的哥特小说。

(chore 家务，日常琐事，讨厌或累人的工作)

4

Yet in both cases, the praise of history is more double-edged than it might actually appear.

然而在这两个例子中，对历史书的褒奖比实际情况更具有双重效果。

5

Many readers have detected a protofeminist critique of history in Catherine’s protest that she dislikes reading books filled with men “and hardly any women at all.”

C 在抗辩自己不爱读历史书时说，这些书里全是男人“几乎没有一个女人”，许多读者在其中读出了一种早期女权主义者对历史的批判声音。

6

Hanway, meanwhile, brings a controversial political edge to her heroine’s reading, listing the era’s two most famous religious skeptics among her preferred authors.

同时，H 在她最喜欢的作者中列举了两位在那个时代著名的宗教怀疑论者，给她的女主角的阅读带来一定政治上的争议。

7

While Hume’s history was generally seen as being less objectionable than his philosophy, there were widespread doubts about his moral soundness even as a historian by the time that Hanway was writing, and Gibbon’s perceived tendency to celebrate classical paganism sparked controversy from the first appearance of his history of Rome.

尽管 H 的历史著作一般被认为不像他的哲学书那么令人反感，但直到 H 写作的时期，他作为一个历史学家的道德甚至都广受质疑，而 G 众所周知的推崇古典异教倾向，从他的历史著作 R 刚面世起，就引发了争议。
