but at the same time,as I've noted,acknowledges the very difficulty

但同时他也承认了
of that project,the very weakness that lies at its heart.

这项工程的困难和其中的弱点
And I think that's what, for me, makes his work extremely powerful,

我想这使他的工作极富意义
that for all its ambition

在庞大野心面前
we're never allowed to forget its ambivalence.

我们永远不会忘记它的矛盾性
That ambivalence is always there on the surface,and it's bodied forth

矛盾总是表面存在的
in the kinds of moral problems that this novel dwells upon,

这象征着小说在道德问题上进行深入探讨
the question of how human love can exist in slavery,

关于奴隶社会中为什么会存在爱
whether it can exist, all its complicated forms,

它是否能存在所有这些复杂的形式
what the forms of freedom look like, how freedom can possibly exist,

自由以何种形式存在自由能不能存在
how you build it, how it can be maintained.

你如何建立自由你又如何维持
All these things are there

所有的这些都在不可想象
