标题: OG12-77,谢谢各位。 [打印本页] 作者: dolcehide 时间: 2011-2-8 00:12 标题: OG12-77,谢谢各位。 Although the earliest surviving Greek inscriptions written in an alphabet date from the eighth century B.C., the fact that the text of these Greek inscriptions sometimes runs from right to left and sometimes from left to right indicates that the Greeks adopted alphabetic writing at least two centuries before these inscriptions were produced. After all, the Greeks learned alphabetic writing from the Phoenicians, and presumably, along with the alphabet, they also adopted the then-current Phoenician practice with respect to the direction of text. And although Phoenician writing was originally inconsistent in direction, by the eighth century B.C. Phoenician was consistently written from right to left and had been for about two centuries.
In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
(A) The first and the second each describe evidence that has been used to challenge the position that the argument seeks to establish. (B) The first is evidence that forms the basis for an objection to the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is that position. (C) The first is evidence that forms the basis for an objection to the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is a consideration that is introduced to counter the force of that evidence. (D) The first and the second each provide evidence in support of the position that the argument seeks to establish. (E) The first provides evidence in support of the position that the argument seeks to establish; the second is that position.
正确答案是D,不明白第二个粗体部分是如何支持观点的？能给翻译一下么？是18th century B.C.之前就consistently了两个世纪，还是之后consistently了两个世纪？ 谢谢各位了！作者: huangyouhuifei 时间: 2011-2-8 00:27
25、背景：虽然现存最早的用字母写的希腊碑铭可追溯到公元前8世纪，但这个碑铭忽左忽右的书写方向表明，希腊人至少在此碑铭产生之前两个世纪就开始用字母书写了。毕竟，希腊人是从腓尼基人那里学习的字母，大概他们学字母的同时也学习了书写方向。虽说腓尼基人书写方向最初不确定，到公元前8世纪时，腓尼基人一贯都从右至左书写并且已经持续了两年左右。
公元前跟公元的计时刚好是反的。。。。公元前8世纪的前两个世纪是公元前10世纪。公元8世纪的前两个世纪才是公元6世纪。作者: EMMALIULIU 时间: 2012-11-11 19:03
第二次做这题看到自己秀逗的插曲，哈哈～作者: sherry520 时间: 2012-11-18 21:17
写的太好了 啊 茅塞顿开。 文章的结论是： the Greeks adopted alphabetic writing at least two centuries before these inscriptions were produced 证明这个结论的原因： 1. 希腊人在公元八世纪时他的书写方向还是忽左忽右的。 2. 希腊的书写是从P人那里学习来的。如果这样那么希腊人在公园八世纪时应该方向一致才对，因为八世纪后P人早就统一了书写方向了。 所以希腊人的书写方式还要早就应该有了。作者: caichenha 时间: 2013-7-19 16:27
