第28页 Readers and the Concept of the Implied Reader

 In this respect, there are three types of “contemporary” reader—the one real and historical, drawn from existing documents, and the other two hypothetical: the first constructed from social and historical knowledge of the time, and the second extrapolated from the reader’s role laid down in the text.    
这里，问题在于这种重构是否与当时的实际读者相符，或者是否仅仅表示出作者意图让读者承当的角色。在这方面，存在着三种类型的“同时代”读者——一种是从现存的文献中引出的实际的和历史的读者，另两种是假定的读者：其一为从当时的社会历史知识中构想出来的读者，其二为从拟定在本文中的读者角色中推测出来的读者。
