Critic：Film attendance is at an all-time low. Attendance peaked in the Mid-1940's. when producers made films that were much less violent than are films made today. Clearly, the publi is showing its disapproval of today's more violent films by simply refusing to view them.

Each of the following, if true , weakens the critic's argument
Except：

B. Screenings of films made decades ago attract more viewers than do screenings of current films.

C. When rentals of videotape films are counted, violent films are attracting many more paying viewers than they did in earlier years.

D. The price of a film ticket, after adjsting for inflation, is significantly higher now than it was in the mid-1940's.

E. Violent films shown no television have consistently attracted large audiences ever since such films became available on television.


Answer：B

我的翻譯：人們藉由拒看暴力電影來表達不支持暴力電影 所以電影票房不佳
五個選項中哪個無法反駁

ACDE都可反駁
但B的翻譯有疑惑 我的翻法是：電影放映數十年前較今日更能吸引觀眾
若是這樣 不也屬於 另有他因 不就可反駁嗎？

重點應該是因為screening這個單字意思不懂
我ㄧ開始也是選不出來
後來查了一下screening這個單子他的意思是"審查;選拔"
所以B的意思是說以前電影的審查吸引比較多人
現在電影的審查吸引比較少人

如果把審查翻譯成影評的話,好像就更容易明白了
