译文: 然而,就像Paine一样Woodward 有着 一种 (对于革命性的时刻的)正确的感觉而且 {对于历史证据 如何 能够削弱那种粉碎了 (新的社会可能性的)梦想 的]神话式的传统 也有一种正确的感觉

explain

解释: unerring这个单词本身就是一个双重否定:没错的=正确的。本句的and 其实是连接两个并列的句子的,不过and之后的句子的主、谓、宾(Woodward had an unerring sense )因为与前面的相同,所以全部被省略。本句的意思在文章中不是很好理解,因为在how以后有很多暗指:historical evidence暗指W的对历史的重新解释;mythological tradition暗指以Jim Crow立法为代表的传统观点;the dreams of new social possibilities暗指黑人追求社会上的平等地位的梦想。
