偶也选了b，不明白！

偶知道d为什么队，但是不懂b为什么错，给讲讲好吗？谢谢！

我最初也选了B，后来发现是D

我不知道楼上两位的问题在哪里，但对我而言，我的问题在阅读上

我将the Daily Bugle is owned by an out-of-town business syndicate that couldn’t care less about the people of laceName w:st="on">GothamlaceName> laceType w:st="on">City这句话理解为：买Daily Bugle报纸的是 外地的不关心Gotham laceType w:st="on">City人的企业。laceType>laceType>

laceType w:st="on">laceType w:st="on"> 而这里是owned，说明是买出版报纸的企业，而不是买报纸laceType>laceType>

B不能削弱，因为 Daily Clarion devotes more of its pages to out-of-town news 不能直接削弱 Daily Clarion is the only real voice of the people of laceName w:st="on">GothamlaceName> laceType w:st="on">CitylaceType>!

是不是反映人民心声，不等于页数的多少。

D

说DB经常刊登外地的消息，但没说本地的消息真不真，而DB报纸的广告强调的是它的老板是外地的，保证的是本地消息的绝对真实性real voice

D说它的雇员都是本地的，对本地的消息就难免有立场，所以WEAKEN了那个广告

We should choose D because the argument that we need to weaken is "that the Daily Bugle is owned by an out-of-town business syndicate that couldn’t care less about the people of laceName w:st="on">GothamlaceName> laceType w:st="on">CitylaceType>".

我一开始也选了B，结果发现答案是D。

分析一下，感觉是不是D选项主要weaken了"only"这个字眼。说明DB的主编和员工也是Gotham City人，所以他们写出来的文章也应该是voice of the people of Gotham City,这样的话，DC就不是“唯一的”的。

大家有没有注意到问题里说的DIRECTLY REFUTES这个词? D更直接的反驳了. 原文说OWNER是城外的, 那怎么直接反驳呢?D说我们的编辑都是城里的老员工了.所以直接反驳了. B根本没题城内新闻的事情. 按OG的说法是unrelated.

nickleansally · 发表于 2007-4-6 21:45:00

"I could't care less"的意思是"it would be impossible for me to care less than I do because I do not care at all"。所以这段话的意思是DB的老板是城外的辛迪加（联合企业），一点都不关心Gotham城内的新闻，也就是说报道的都是城外的新闻；而相反地，DC报道的都是Gotham城内的新闻。

我的理解，选项B是对题干中的事实进行了否定,不能算是refute。而D说的是，DB的首席编辑和其他所有工作人员都在Gotham这个城市工作生活了十年以上，所以反驳了could't care less。
