大全里的一道逻辑问题？？

Record companies defend their substitution of laser-read compact discs (CD’s) for the much less expensive traditional long-playing vinyl records in their catalogs by claiming that the audio market is ruled by consumer demand for ever-improved sound reproduction rather than by record manufacturers’ profit-motivated marketing decisions. But this claim cannot be true, because if it were true, then digital audiotape, which produces even better sound than CD’s, would be commercially available from these same record companies, but it is not.

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument against the record companies’ claim?
(A) When CD’s were first introduced in the audio-reproduction market, prices were high and selection was poor.
(B) Record companies are reluctant to attempt commercial production of digital audiotape until profits from the sales of CD’s have enabled them to recover their investments in compact-disc manufacturing technology.
(C) Some CD’s have been so much in demand that consumers have experienced long delays in obtaining copies.
(D) Because CD’s work according to principles very different from those that govern conventional recordings, commercial production of CD’s requires new kinds of manufacturing technology.
(E) Any valid comparison of CD audio reproductions to digital audiotape reproductions must be based on identical performances played back on the highest quality disc or tape player.

其实吧，我对问题句比较疑惑。
against可以翻译成“反对”，也可以翻译成”关于“。根据翻译的不同，对问题的理解就截然相反。
想请问一下大家如何区别一句话里，against到底是哪个意思？

看了答案以后，觉得这里的against应该是“反对”的意思吧？

你这是用中文学英文啊！
against就一个意思：不从！

其实整个argument里面就只有两个人，Record company和author本人（从第二句but开始你就应该反应到author开始说话了）。这种二人对话的栏目到最后肯定是你要take side支持一个，反对一个。然后这题就是要看你是支持Record company还是author呢？

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the argument against the record companies’ claim?
主谓宾 “Which would strengthen the argument？”
这个argument是 "argument against the record companies’ claim"，
against record companies不就是author的argument么。

于是就是要你去支持作者。

明白了，谢谢。

总记得against有对于，对比的意思。导致每回遇到都停顿3秒钟。
好了，以后都记得是against是否定的意思了。Thanks

再次谢谢R，

感觉你虽然没有直接翻译against的意思，但是却在告诉我如何通过语境来理解一个词。
against sb‘s claim，怎么看against都是反对的意思。

总看到你解答题，如果你遇到难题也过来分享一下哈。我觉得讨论完一道题以后，会对题又更深的了解。
当然了，很有可能是你还没看到理解不了的难题。

Against 这个词挺有意思

I am arguing against you. I am protesting against Trump. 这不能翻译成“反对反对谁”，只能是"反对"谁。意思等同于:I am arguing with you. Protest倒是都用against
The high unemployment rate works against your career plan.这一个against就表示"反"的意思了
Swim against the current.也是一样,表示反


我做错的题很多……但其实我还没做没有详细解释的CR题，我倒是经常会看不懂一些sc题的解释

most 加强，against the claim 那不就是对argument的一个修饰。。。朋友你想太多了

恩，简单来说就是“相反的”或是与“反”有关的呗。OK。

RRZZR果真善于举例子，一定比较喜欢创造。
要像你学习呀，我看懂一道难题后就不想再想了。
