【正确答案】:
 IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO JUDGE THAT SENTENCE B IS BETTER THAN SENTENCE A, BECAUSE IN B THE WRITER USES SUBORDINATES, WHICH ARE CONCRETE AND PRECISE, PRESENTING A VIVID VERBAL PICTURE BEFORE THE READER WHEREAS IN A THE WORDS USED ARE SUPERORDINATES, WHICH CONVEY ONLY A GENERAL AND VAGUE IDEA.
HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT MEAN HYPONYMS ARE BETTER THAN SUPERORDINATES. A GOOD PIECE OF WRITING OFTEN NEEDS BOTH WORKING MUTUALLY TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED EFFECT.
【题目解析】:It is not difficult to judge that sentence B is better than sentence A, because in B the writer uses subordinates, which are concrete and precise, presenting a vivid verbal picture before the reader whereas in A the words used are superordinates, which convey only a general and vague idea. However this does not mean hyponyms are better than superordinates. A good piece of writing often needs both working mutually to achieve the desired effect.不难看出,B比A好,因为在B中,作者使用的是具体而精确的下义词,在读者面前呈现出生动的语言画面,而在A中使用的是高级的词汇,这只传达了一个笼统而模糊的概念。然而,这并不意味着下义词比上义词好。一篇好的文章往往需要双方共同努力才能达到预期的效果。
