# W! R& }5 |$ N" i5 X: O/ tCompared with the immediate practical responsibility of the scientist, the responsibility of the artist must seem puny. The decision which faces him is not, I think, one of practical action: of course he will try to throw his weight into the scale, and that weight, if he is a writer or even a painter of genius, may have its effect. For the novelist — in our society the only artist who has a mass audience and at the same time effective economic control of the means of addressing it — the hope of some decisive influence is a reasonable one. For him, since he takes of all artists what is probably the largest portion of his culture as material, there is no more escape from the necessity for treating the content of his work seriously than there is for the social psychologist he is coming so closely to resemble.
0 r# y: h5 Z! ?$ T, L( T0 N与科学家直接的实际责任相比,艺术家的责任肯定显得微不足道。我认为,他所面临的决定并不是一个实际行动:他当然会试图把自己的分量投到天平上,而这种分量,如果他是一个作家,甚至是一个天才画家,可能会产生影响。对于小说家来说,——在我们的社会中,他是唯一拥有大量受众,同时又能有效地对解决问题的手段,进行经济上的控制,——希望产生某种决定性影响是合理的。对他来说,既然他选取所有艺术家作为原料,而这些可能是他文化中的最大一部分,那么,就像跟他如此接近的社会心理学家一样,他也无法逃避严肃对待自己作品内容的必要性。

上文中,it指代前面的may have its effect这件事,addressing it=addressing the problem of having its effect;one=hope,为避免词语重复,所以用one代替;since he takes of all artists what is probably the largest portion of his culture as material=since he takes what is probably the largest portion of his culture of all artists as material,take是“选取,采取”之意,从句what is probably the largest portion of his culture作take的宾语,of all artists作what从句的定语。since he takes what is probably the largest portion of his culture of all artists as material是正常语序,而由于what从句太长,所以需要把定语of all artists提前,以避免整个since从句头重脚轻。4 l9 v' C- d6 w/ x4 r* L
