It seems that this was not really theft at all, but a re-appropriation of found material, a “remix” if you will.

好像这根本不是偷盗，只是对已发现材料的重新占有，如果愿意你也可以称它为“重新混音”。

What concerns me are the reasons why her re-appropriation of Airen’s material must be considered plagiarism and not, as Hegemann and her defenders argue, simply an accepted practice of the times.

但我关心的是为什么她对艾伦材料的重占必须被视为是剽窃，而非赫格曼和她的辩护者所称的只是现在通行的做法。
