Although the earliest surviving Greek inscriptions written in an alphabet date from the eighth century B.C., the fact that the text of these Greek inscriptions sometimes runs from right to left and sometimes from left to right indicates that the Greeks adopted alphabetic writing at least two centuries before these inscriptions were produced. After all, the Greeks learned alphabetic writing from the Phoenicians, and presumably, along with the alphabet, they also adopted the then-current Phoenician practice with respect to the direction of text. And although Phoenician writing was originally inconsistent in direction, by the eighth century B.C. Phoenician was consistently written from right to left and had been for about two centuries.

In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?

正确答案: D

我不明白的地方是:既然8世纪的时候P已经稳定的从左到右书写了两个世纪,也就是说稳定的书写方向是在6世纪形成的。但是第一个evidence说最早的写有字母的石碑是8世纪的,上面的字母忽左忽右,不稳定,这件事表明希腊人在石碑制作的前两个世纪(也就是6世纪)学习字母书写。既然在6世纪P老师已经稳定了书写方向,人们也学习了书写,为什么8世纪的石碑会有忽左忽右的情况呢?

求各位NN的解答,虽然做对题了,可这个我实在想不明白~~谢谢大家!!!!



Although the earliest surviving Greek inscriptions
written in an alphabet date from the eighth century
B.C., the fact that the text of these Greek
inscriptions sometimes runs from right to left
and sometimes from left to right indicates that the
Greeks adopted alphabetic writing'at least two
centuries before these inscriptions were produced.
After all, the Greeks learned alphabetic writingfrom
the Phoenicians, and presumably, along with the
alphabet, they also adopted the then-current
Phoenician practice with respect to the direction of
text. And although Phoenician writing was
originally inconsistent in direction, by the eighth
century B.C. Phoenician was consistently written
from right to left and had been for about two
centuries.


(A) The first and the second each describe evidence
that has been used to challenge the position that
the argument seeks to establish.
(B) The first is evidence that forms the basis for an
objection to the position that the argument
seeks to establish; the second is that position.
(C) The first is evidence that forms the basis for an
objection to the position that the argument
seeks to establish; the second is a consideration
that is introduced to counter the force of that
evidence.
(D) The first and the second each provide evidence
in support of the position that the argument
seeks to establish.
(E) The first provides evidence in support of the
position that the argument seeks to establish;
the second is that position.

因为Phoenicians 在到公元前8世纪(by the eighth century BC)就已经完全从右到左书写有两个世纪了,而Greeks 又是从Phoenicians学的书写方法,并且最早现存的inscriptions里面既有从右到左,又有从左到右,因此肯定认为这些Greeks在这些inscriptions两个世纪之前就采取了alphabetic writing。
否则的话,这些inscriptions上的alphabetic writings应该全部是从右到左排列。因为Phoenicians在两个世纪前就完全从右到左,而Greeks是从Phoenicians学的alphabetic writing。

先找这个题的最终argument: ...that the Greek adopted alphabetic writing at least two centuries before these inscriptions were produced.
第一个加粗的地方是在indicates这个argument,所以第一个肯定是evidence/support之类的东西。
之后说的是希腊人从Phoenician那儿学的文字和书写方式,而Phoenician在8th century已经从右到左写了两个世纪, 这个又支撑了:所以希腊人不是在8th century才学的。
