先貼題
14.Among the more effective kinds of publicity that publishers can get for a new book is to have excerpts of it published in a high-circulation magazine soon before the book is published. The benefits of such excerption include not only a sure increase in sales but also a fee paid by the magazine to the book’s publisher.
Which of the following conclusions is best supported by the information above?
(A) The number of people for whom seeing an excerpt of a book in a magazine provides an adequate substitute for reading the whole book is smaller than the number for whom the excerpt stimulates a desire to read the book.
(B) Because the financial advantage of excerpting a new book in a magazine usually accrues to the book’s publisher, magazine editors are unwilling to publish excerpts from new books.
(C) In calculating the total number of copies that a book has sold, publishers include sales of copies of magazines that featured an excerpt of the book.
(D) The effectiveness of having excerpts of a book published in a magazine, measured in terms of increased sales of a book, is proportional to the circulation of the magazine in which the excerpts are published.
(E) Books that are suitable for excerpting in high-circulation magazines sell more copies than books that are not suitable for excerpting.

答案A
我上CD去看過所有討論了
但是啊 A這一句話我跟他對望了十分鐘
就怎麼也體會不出所謂 "讀完摘路的人更想買此書的人數大於看了摘露就不想買的人數" 我想這應該是閱讀障礙吧

能否有善心人士幫忙解析一下A要怎麼翻譯 謝謝很多喔!!

The number of people for whom seeing an excerpt of a book in a magazine (which) provides an adequate substitute for reading the whole book is smaller than the number for whom the excerpt stimulates a desire to read the book.

這樣看可以理解嗎？
多看看幾遍自然順囉^^

是這樣
因為有了簡介

(因簡介而買書的人) 比 (因簡介而不買書的人) 多

我想可能有些人會在AD選項掙扎

A選項如同lunar916所說 會使得銷量增加
D選項大意為excerpt的效果和雜誌的流通量呈正比
乍看之下 好像也可以support
但是原題的結論是increase in sales
成正比不代表銷量會往上走
說不定書和雜誌都一起賣不好 所以D選項無法support也無法weaken
p.s 此提好像OG11th有
