How do I know what it is that I'm seeing? As with the orange of oranges once again, as with the loveliness of Tilda, I just do. Friedlander, the great Max Friedlander, is very good on this. "Correct attributions," he says, "generally appear spontaneously and prima vista. We recognize a friend without ever having determined wherein his particular qualities lie and that with a certainty that not even the most detailed description can give."
上文中的"Correct attributions...”译出来后总觉得别扭。
拙译：“将一件作品的作者准确地指出来，”他说道，“通常是脱口而出的，是不假思索的”。
其中：attributions是否有一个专门的术语？
此外，prima vista一词手头上没有词典，不知确实解释是什么。
