For the woman who is a practitioner of feminist literary criticism, the subjectivity versus objectivity, or critic-as-artist-or-scientist, debate has special significance; for her, the question is not only academic, but political as well, and her definition will court special risks whichever side of the issue it favors.
對于一個從事女權主義文學評論的婦女來說，主觀性還是客觀性，或者說評論家應該做藝術家還是作科學家的爭論有著特殊的重要性;對她來說，此問題不僅僅是學術上的，而且還是政治上的，并且她所給出的定義，不管有利于問題的哪一方面，都會招致特殊的風險。
難句類型：復雜修飾、插入語、倒裝、省略、抽象詞、易淆指代
解釋：首先解釋一下幾個詞匯：versus:在這里不是前面的against的意思，它和后面的or都是“是….還是…”的意思，其英文釋義為：in contrast to or as the alternative of free trade versus pretection 。court:招致(風險、失敗)，英文釋義：to act as to invite or provoke (courts disaster).
分號前面的句子的主語被插入語"or critic-as-artist-or-scientist"分開，正常情況下應該是the subjectivity versus objectivity debate。這種名詞修飾名詞的情況在GRE和GMAT考試中是常見的，如前面講過的句子中出現的mind-body problem.
最后的條件狀語從句whichever side of the issue it favors看上去不難，但卻不好理解，首先是whichever被提前的表示方法，相當于no matter it favors which side of the issue 的倒裝，no matter被省略，which提前并改成了whichever，后面的side of the issue也被提前到主謂it favors之前，issue在此之前面的主要問題，即主觀性還是客觀性的問題，而it前面的名詞太多，一下子不好辨別，其實就是指本句的主語her definition.
