3、Virginia Woolf’s provocative statement about her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway has regularly been ignored by the critics，since it highlights an aspect of her literary interests very different from the traditional picture of the "poetic" novelist concerned with examining states of reverie and vision and with following the intricate pathways of individual consciousness.
維吉尼亞.伍爾夫(virginia woolf)在創作《黛洛維夫人》(mrs. dalloway)時有關其創作意圖的這番發人深思的陳述，迄今為止一貫為文學評論家們所忽略，因為它突出反映了她諸多文學興趣中Ḁ一方面，而這一方面則與人們對“詩性”小說家(poetic novelist)所形成的傳統見解大相徑庭。所謂的“詩性”小說家，所關注的是審視想入非非和白日夢幻的諸般狀態，並致力於追尋個體意識的通幽曲徑。

6、Although Gutman admits that forced separation by sale was frequent，he shows that the slaves’preference，revealed most clearly on plantations where sale was infrequent，was very much for stable monogamy.
雖然古特曼承認，由於奴隸買賣而造成的被迫離散甚為頻繁，但他還是證明，奴隸的偏愛——在那些奴隸買賣並不頻繁的種植園上被最為顯著地揭示出來——在很大程度上側重於穩定的一夫一妻制(monogamy)。
