问题     Even though she was blind and deaf, Helen Keller was a woman with an extraordinary social vision. (46)When most women’s rights activists were working for the right to vote, Helen Keller advocated action that was more direct and more immediate than the vote. In 1911, speaking in England where women had the right to vote, she said: "Our democracy is but a name. We vote? What does that mean? It means that we choose between two bodies of real, though not avowed, autocrats. You ask for votes for women. (47)What good can votes do when ten-elevenths of the land of Great Britain belongs to 200,000 men and only one-eleventh to the rest of the 40,000,000?
    Have your men with their millions of votes freed themselves from this injustice?" (48)When she became active and openly socialist, a New York city newspaper, the Brooklyn Eagle, which had previously treated her as a heroine, criticized that her misguided socialism had somehow developed from her blind and deaf condition. She replied that when once she met the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, he had complimented her lavishly: "But now that I have come out for socialism, he re minds me and the public that I am blind and deaf and especially liable to error."
    She added: "Oh, ridiculous Brooklyn Eagle! What an ungallant bird it is! (49)Socially blind and deaf, it defends an intolerable system, a system that is the cause of much of the physical blindness and deafness which we are trying to prevent. The Eagle and I are at war. I hate the system which it represents—When it fights back, let it fight fair...It is not fair fighting or good argument to remind me and others that I cannot see or hear. I can read. I can read all the socialist books I have time for in English, German and French. If the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle should read some of them, he might be a wiser man, and make a better newspaper. (50)If I ever contribute to the socialist movement, the book I sometimes dream of; I know what I shall name it: Industrial Blindness and Social Deafness".

选项
答案当海伦.凯勒非常活跃并且公开信仰社会主义的时候，以前曾把她捧为女英雄的纽约市一家报纸《布鲁克林鹰报》此时却批评她说，她在错误思想指导下的社会主义信念在一定程度上是由于她又聋又瞎。
解析 简单复合句的译法。句子框架是：when…，a…newspaper…，which criticized that…。句首when引导时间状语；关系代词 which引导定语从句，修饰the Brooklyn Eagle；that引导名词从句，作criticized的宾语。句中misguide是"错误地引导"、"把…引入歧途"的意思。此句中的misguided是指 (行为等)在错误思想(或原则、信仰、动机等)的指导下。
