From the outset, the concept of freedom of the seas from the proprietary claims of nations was challenged by a contrary notion — that of the _______ of the oceans for reasons of national security and profit.
在关于海洋所有权的声称中,与the concept of freedom 形成challenged&contrary关系的应该是一种体现“主观性”、“私利性”、“霸权性”特点的对海洋所有权占有的理由,在个选项中比较来建立在national security and profit这一理由基础之上的appropriation(占用、使用)最为合适。我是这么看的,呵呵~~~望指教啊
主干: concept was challenged by notion 所以concept和notion要取反 concept是freedom of the seas from the proprietary claims of nations ,海洋要独立与国家,那么notion就应该是还应必须被国家所占有 appropriation就是占有的意思。
