答案C,  The first supports the environmentalists’ conclusion, 我人为是对的, 但是第二句the second states that conclusion, 感觉不对呀.

这句话才应该是结论吗: However, these environmentalists are probably wrong.

Tropicorp has not acted wholly out of economic self-interest.

这句话怎么翻译？

我觉得翻译是

tropicorp 整个来看还是具有经济的自利性。

我觉得not否定了out of

对吗？

我也同意楼上的C上的第二句the second states that conclusion, 感觉不对呀.

   參考: out of = from

  tropicorp 不是全然出自於經濟自利行為..

  however...以下經濟學家開始分析其實  tropicorp 是出自於經濟自利行為

參考: out of = from

out of  这里翻作“由于、出自”，according to 好像更符合吧

以下是引用wendygxl在2005-2-2 0:10:00的发言：

这句话才应该是结论吗: However, these environmentalists are probably wrong.

so, "that conclusion" is not conclusion of economist, but the environmentalists' conclusion.

And, I agree "爱维的天空"——economist say the evidence on which the environmentalists' conclusion bases.

这体我也做错了，不过C真确。一个是evidence，一个是conclusion。

无比

C is right

The second sentence states the
            conclusion made by environmentalists after they observe the fact that  the company has not gone into rubber tapping, even though greater profits can be made from rubber tapping

Personal opinion~~

  对于C选项，我有一个问题。

  The company has not gone into rubber tapping, even though greater profits can be made from rubber tapping, which leaves the forest intact. Thus, some environmentalists conclude that Tropicorp has not acted wholly out of economic self-interest.
    

“The company has not gone into rubber tapping” 是第一个BF的转折，而“The company has not gone into rubber tapping” 与第二个BF为顺承关系，所以二个BF应该是转折关系。但C说的是前者support后者。

  请好心人帮忙答疑~

我同意楼主的观点，这里

ever though+BF(第一）转折，the company.... thus 一些环境学家形成了观点。。。说明这里的thecompany的这句话才是去支持后面的结论的。。而前面的ever though是转折的，应该是经济学家同意的观点啊。。。我觉得应该选A。。下面一句是经济学家的观点。。正好和ever  though是一致的

taxes are higher on profits from rubber tapping than on profits from cattle ranching.
