[求助]og185的一句話

185.

Near Chicago a newly built hydroponic spinach “factuory,” a completely controlled environment for growing

spinach, produces on 1 acre of floor space what it takes 100 acres of fields to produce. Expenses, especially for

electricity, are high ,hwoever, and the spinach produced costs about four times as much as washed California

field spinach, the spinach commonly sold throughout the United States.

Which of the following, if true, best supports a projection that the spinach-growing facility near Chicago will be

profitable?

(A) Once the operators of the facility are experienced, they will be able to cut operating expenses by about 25

percent.

(B) There is virtually no scope for any further reduction in the cost per pound for California field spinach.

(C) Unlike washed field spinach, the hydroponically grown spinach is untainted by any pesticides or herbicides

and thus will sell at exceptionally herbicides an thus will sell at exceptionally high prices to such customers

as health food restaurants.

(D) Since spinach is a crop that ships relatively well, the market for the hydroponically grown spinach is no more

limited to the Chicago area than the market for California field spinach is to California.

(E) A second hydroponics facility is being built in Canada, taking advantage of inexpensive electricity and high

vegetable prices.

請問D該如何解釋呢??

真的看不懂

拜託幫忙幫我翻一下D選項

cg

应该是指菠菜适合用航运运送

因此新菠菜的市场并不局限于芝加哥地区 比起加州的菠菜只卖加州

请指正

我同意cg妹妹的翻译，但是想不通一点，因为在题干中提到加州的菠菜是在整个美国销售的，这样岂不是矛盾的吗？

and the spinach produced costs about four times as much as washed California field spinach, the spinach commonly sold throughout the United States.

又想了想，觉得这个翻译还是不对，因为OG的解释里面说

Choice D presents one advantage shared by the two kinds of spinach

这样的话就是说两种菠菜都是ship well的。否则如果按cg妹妹的理解，新的这种菠菜行销美国，而加州菠菜只销加州，这样这个选项就有可能成为正确选项了。

哎，大家帮忙解释一下吧，D项到底什么意思啊。

顶！

这段话的意思大概是：因为菠菜比较适合运输，所以ｈｙｄｒｏ种出来的菠菜和加州的菠菜一样销售起来都不受地域的限制。但这并不能增强其竞争力。所以ＯＧ的解释说"it does nothing to diminish the cost disadvantage of h spinach".不知道这样解释是不是贴切：）

Since spinach is a crop that ships relatively well, the market for the hydroponically grown spinach is no more limited to the Chicago area than the market for California field spinach is (no limited) to California.

open to discuss.
