     題目:
    The following appeared in an article written by Dr. Karp, an anthropologist.
    "Twenty years ago, Dr. Field, a noted anthropologist, visited the island of Tertia and concluded from his observations that children in Tertia were reared by an entire village rather than by their own biological parents. However, my recent interviews with children living in the group of islands that includes Tertia show that these children spend much more time talking about their biological parents than about other adults in the village. This research of mine proves that Dr. Field's conclusion about Tertian village culture is invalid and thus that the observation-centered approach to studying cultures is invalid as well. The interview-centered method that my team of graduate students is currently using in Tertia will establish a much more accurate understanding of child-rearing traditions there and in other island cultures."
    Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
    中文翻譯:
    20年前,知名人類學(xué)F博士訪問(wèn)了T島,并從他的觀察中得出結(jié)論:T島的孩子是由整個(gè)村子撫養(yǎng)長(zhǎng)大而不是他們的親生父母。然而,我最近對(duì)生活在T島以及周邊一些島嶼的兒童采訪顯示,他們?cè)谡勗捴姓劦剿麄兡仉p親的時(shí)間遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)多于談到村莊里其他成年人。我的這次研究證明F博士關(guān)于T島鄉(xiāng)村文化的結(jié)論是錯(cuò)的,因此這種以觀察為主的文化研習(xí)方式也是無(wú)效的。由于我那些在T目前調(diào)研的研究生們正是采用我的采訪為主的方法,所以他們將會(huì)對(duì)T島孩子撫養(yǎng)傳統(tǒng)已經(jīng)其他島嶼文化給出更加精確的了解。
