1. Is this a defect，or are the authors working out of，or trying to forge，a different kind of aesthetic？
這究竟是一種缺陷呢，還是這些作者想要按照一種與眾不同的美學(xué)體系進(jìn)行創(chuàng)作，抑或是在試圖創(chuàng)立一種與眾不同的美學(xué)體系？

2. In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomer’s Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism ; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted , a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression ?
不僅如此，有些黑人小說(shuō)（比如JT的甘蔗）的風(fēng)格接近與表現(xiàn)主義和超現(xiàn)實(shí)主義；這種技巧是否為流行的主題提供了一個(gè)和諧的對(duì)應(yīng)呢？這種主題刻畫(huà)了黑人注意與之相抗?fàn)幍拿\(yùn)，這是一個(gè)通常用更為自然主義的表現(xiàn)手法所表達(dá)的主題。
難句類(lèi)型：復(fù)雜修飾、插入語(yǔ) 解釋?zhuān)涸诒揪渲杏腥齻�(gè)詞需要先解釋一番：verge on這個(gè)詞組是接近于、瀕于的意思，hero在文學(xué)作品中是主人公的意思，pit作動(dòng)詞時(shí)，除了挖坑、窖藏之外，還有使競(jìng)爭(zhēng)、使斗爭(zhēng)的意思，其英文釋義為：to set as gamecocks into or as if into a pit to fight, to set into opposition or rivalry usually used with against.在此用的是后一種語(yǔ)義的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)fate againt which Black heros are pitted.如果用主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)則是：pit black heros againt fate。
另外本句的結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜，分號(hào)之后是一個(gè)一般疑問(wèn)句，但是由于修飾成分過(guò)多，過(guò)長(zhǎng)，使得讀者看不清楚這個(gè)句子在問(wèn)什么。其實(shí)如果沒(méi)有最后的那個(gè)prevalent theme的同位語(yǔ)a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression，本句會(huì)易懂得多。
