这个才是正解
关键是B是啥意思。B 说 It has been many years since the restriction led to the hunting season for snow geese being closed earlier than the scheduled date. 一般都以为是说多年来,狩猎季节都是提前结束。其实B 不是这样说。B 说的是狩猎季节提前结束已经是很多年以前的事。那就是说,现在在南方,并没有很多人去狩猎雪鸭,每年5%的捕猎量都用不完,取消禁令不会使捕获雪鸭的数目增多。
这句因为后面分句很长,所以容易引起误会。大家比较下面的句子,就知道应该是什么意思了:
It has been many years since the house was built. It has been many years since she married. It has been many years since he obtained his Ph.D.
A:限令好多年就有了,但是并没有说明,取消它会对geese的数量到底有什么影响。 B的意思是说: 即使有限令(到了5%就停止捕猎geese),但事实上还没捕杀到5%的时候hunting season就结束了,而且好多年了都是这样。 意思也就是人们没兴趣了,你有没有限令,我就只打猎这么多。你限打10个,我就打2个,你限打100个,我也只打2个,你不限,我还是只打2个。 所以取消限令对geese的数量没有影响。所以weaken。 -- by 会员 彼得豆 (2010/6/16 22:21:41)
