105. The demands of ______ notwithstanding, a page or two in Dahl’s recent book on
democracy that considered what public-choice economics has to say about “democratic
failure”—or at least a clear signpost to that literature—would have been very well spent.
(A) clarity
(B) brevity
(C) comprehensiveness
(D) economy
(E) cogency
(F) thoroughness
答案BD
求教这句话什么意思啊?为什么是尽管要求简洁,但一两页。。。感觉逻辑不明。。。
would have been very well spent 意译是 这样的话也是很需要的或者也是很好的用途
所以第一个逗号后面的句子就是,1页或者两页的一些介绍,或者至少是一些点,也是需要的。
于是和前面的notwithstanding构成了对比,notwithstanding你可以处理成although
尽管需要简洁,但是关于一些xxx的东西至少1-2页的描述还是很有必要的
