句子解析:
第一句:
While TV news is a radically different business now than it was in its heyday, (让步状语)some network news executives dare to hope for a rebirth and return to relevance(主干) for the evening news in the COVID-19 era.
参考译文:虽然现在的电视新闻与其鼎盛时期截然不同,但一些有线新闻的高管敢于设想,希望晚间新闻能在COVID-19时代获得新生,重归主流。
第二句:
If coronavirus has brought more eyeballs to the evening newscasts, it has also hit hard advertising sales,(主句)according to first-quarter financial reports from Comcast, ViacomCBS and Walt Disney, (状语)the parent companies of NBC, CBS and ABC, respectively.(同位语)
参考译文:如果说冠状病毒给晚间新闻节目带来了更多关注,从康卡斯特、维亚康姆哥伦比亚广播公司和华特迪士尼(分别是国家广播公司、哥伦比亚广播公司和美国广播公司的母公司)第一季度的财报来看,它也让其广告销售遭受沉重打击。
思考题解析:
A. embrace a new period of growth
(迎接一个新的成长时期)
A选项正确。
对应第一句的:但一些有线新闻的高管敢于设想,希望晚间新闻能在COVID-19时代获得新生,重归主流。
B. reap in more online revenue(获得更多的在线收入)
根本没提到在线。
说明一下,有线新闻网就和online 不是一个东西。
相当于新闻频道和今日头条的区别。
C. increase the advertising sales(增加广告销售额)
我知道你在纠结这个选项。
因为it has also hit hard advertising sales
你不知道:hit hard 到底是增加还是减少。
说到底还是单词的问题。
多积累就好了。
但是第二句的主语:it has also hit hard advertising sales,(主句)
it的指代对象是:coronavirus
这个玩意对于广告应该不太好吧。
还有就是自信一点!有A这个选项为什么就不能坚定点呢?
D. consolidate into bigger groups(合并成更大的集团)
没有说到,只是例举了一些公司的名字。
可没说他们合并了。
