解释: 本句的结构固然复杂,但造成最大的阅读难度的,主要还是对一些抽象词汇的理解。下面是对一些关键词汇的解释:

Granted that出现在句首,其意思是“大家都同意,当然”,实际上是一种让步语气,等于admitted,of course。

need not argue中的argue在此不是表示常用的那个辩论、争论的意思,而是表示意味着或证实的意思,其同义词是maintain或prove。

Comparable的词义有两个,除了读者熟悉的adj. that can be compared之外,还有一个意思是adj. worthy of comparison,其同义词是as good as。本文中用的是后面的这个意思。对于这个词义的理解,后面的第18题考到了。
