第三段
①Overhead may be high and circulation may be lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti. BuzzFced首席执行官乔纳·佩雷蒂说,虽然,运营费用很高而发行量较低,但是,匆匆决定终结纸质印刷版可能会是一个错误。
①Overhead may be high and circulation may be lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti. BuzzFced首席执行官乔纳·佩雷蒂说,虽然,运营费用很高而发行量较低,但是,匆匆决定终结纸质印刷版可能会是一个错误。
这是三个句子:
① Overhead may be high
overhead n. 企业运营费用/日常开销;经费( = overheads,这个是英式英语,不加S的是美式英语)
② circulation may be lower
circulate vt. 循环;传播;流传。—— circulation n. 发行量;销售量(sales)
③rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti
rushing部分是分词(动名词)短语做主语
eliminate vt. 消除;消灭;根除;淘汰
it指纽约时报
print edition:纸质版
say部分是全倒装,这里是间接引语
总结:第三段是说,即使成本高,发行量低,但是,还是不能急于放弃纸质版报纸。
