Last time I finished up my lectures on by

上节课我讲完了《智血》
trying to draw together three different ways of reading the novel

尝试了在一个解释框架内对该小说进行三种
into one interpretative framework, and what I ultimately argued was

不同的解读我最终所要探讨的是
that the New Critical formal unity of the novel that is epitomized,

该小说的新批评形式体具有代表意义
I think (in a somewhat, perhaps, heavy-handed way),

我认为(以某种有些拙劣的手法)
in Chapter 7 of the novel--that's book-ended by the symbol of the blinding white cloud--

在小说的第七章小说以耀眼的白云意象作为结束
that it's that unity,

这就是那种批评体的表现
in a sense, that replaces the bodily unities

某种意义上它取代了奥康纳小说中
that are always blown apart in O'Connor's fiction.

通常呈破碎状的整体
And, in a certain way, what you see is a fiction that is personified in that way,

并且某种程度上而言你们会觉得小说被人格化了
that it takes on the qualities and the values of the person,

它呈现出人的品质和价值
