The readings you’ve given us were incredibly vivid, I loved them, but they were translations of French writers, historians.
你給我們的閱讀材料非常生動，我很喜歡，但是他們是法國作家、歷史學家的翻譯作品。
So I thought it’d be interesting to pick the Gazette and one other American newspaper to see how each covered the revolution,
所以我想拿公報和另一個美國報紙來讀，看看每個報紙上當時是如何報道這場革命的應該很有意思，
how the journalists reported it from America’s perspective.
看看記者是如何從美國的角度報道這個事件的。
Hmm, interesting approach. But remember, I’ll be grading your paper based on the details you would include.
很有趣的方法，但是別忘了，我會根據(jù)你論文中包含的細節(jié)來打分。
And at some point in your paper, you wanna focus on a particular event of the revolution like maybe the storming of the Bastille Prison.
所以在你論文中的某個部分，你要關(guān)注一下那場革命的一個具體活動，比如占領(lǐng)巴士底獄。
How about the formation of the French National Constituent Assembly?
法國國家立法議會的形成怎么樣？
Sure! That would work.
當然可以啦！
And since I’m gonna look at newspapers from two cities, I could read the editorials, the opinion pieces,
而且既然我要看來自兩個城市的報紙，那我可以讀一讀社論，觀點的部分，
to find out what each community thought about the national assembly.
看看每個地區(qū)對那個國民大會是怎么看的。
OK, but, you know, I once attended a history conference where a professor presented a paper on the American press in the French Revolution.
可以，不過，我曾經(jīng)出席過一個歷史大會，在那里一位教授提出了一篇關(guān)于法國大革命時期的美國新聞業(yè)的論文。
She was discussing the development of democratic ideals here and in France at that time.
她討論了那個時期這里和法國的民主理想的發(fā)展。
But she also pointed out that using old newspapers as primary sources...to be aware that they reflected the values of only a segment of society,
但是她也指出了，使用舊報紙作為主要信息來源......要意識到它們反映的只是社會上一部分人的價值觀，
and should not be used to draw conclusions about all Americans.
不應該被用來得出關(guān)于全部美國人的結(jié)論。
I don’t think I held on to her paper, but it was subsequently published,
我不記得我保留了她的論文，不過它后來被發(fā)表了，
so you’ll have no trouble tracking it down on the internet, let me give you her name.
所以很容易就能在網(wǎng)上找到的，我把她的名字告訴你。
