[英中] 跟質性研究有關的一句英文

[CasterBailey (凱特貝莉)]

It is not the world which is the material of the narrative;
rather,it is the narrative from which the world is abstracted.


我猜意思應該是：

世界並不是敘述的材料；倒不如說，敘述是從這個世界中抽取出來的。

（rather的感覺好難翻的貼切...orz）


我是不是哪裡翻不對...因為我好像沒有很懂這句話想表達什麼？　 ＠＿＠

還是因為我的質性分析基礎不好...所以沒有了解到這句話的精髓呢？
　
板上高手好多，還請大家多多指教，非常謝謝！　:'(

→ chingfen:有前後文嗎？it是虛主詞，還是某種事物的代名詞？
→ CasterBailey:我猜應該是虛主詞~因為這是一句沒頭沒尾的引用...= =


那來補個原文好了： @@"


This book is about how people talk and the discursive resources they avail
themselves of. I am interested in how they narrate their illness, themselves
in their illness, their lives and those close to them. I assume that
all those experiences are predominantly discursive. Following Bauman
(1986), it is not the world which is the material of the narrative; rather,
it is the narrative from which the world is abstracted. In what follows, I
am going to offer a brief account of a model of discourse analysis with
which I have sympathy (for a much more comprehensive discussion, see
Barker and Galasi ′ nski, 2001). The review I offer here is based upon the
earlier one, although some accents have changed.


我覺得我可能是真的對這個領域不熟悉吧.... QQ

推 l10nel:有還不早給！這樣一看便知it不指任何東西
→ CasterBailey:噢~本來想說原文裡就已經是引用所以就沒有附了～　><
推 l10nel:雖說如此，引用者前面的話給引用句提供語境，何況不是直接
→ l10nel:引用，那關係更密切了
→ usread:不需要前後文就知道it是虛指.問題在第二句你讀錯了.
推 spacedunce5:相反地，世界才是從敘述萃取而得。
→ spacedunce5:其實我覺得這語境用複數更好
推 pentimento:前後兩句都是強調句句型: it is ... that ....
