OG11TH 101:

For a trade embargo against a particular countr to succeed, a high degree of both international accord and ability to prevent goods from entering or leaving that country must be sustained. A total blockade of Patria's ports is necessary to an embargo, but such an action would be likely to cause international discord over the embargo.

The claims above, if true, most strongly support which of the following conclusions?

A. The balance of opinion is likely to favor Patria in the event of a blockade.

B. As long as international opinion is unanimous against Patria, a trade embargo is likely to succeed.

C. A naval blockade of Patria's ports would ensure that no goods enter or leave Patria.

D. Any trade embargo against Patria would be likely to fail at some time.(D)

D. For a blockade of Patria's ports to be successful, international opinion must be unanimous.

这里的international accord 是指什么呢？discord又是什么？谁能把整个句子翻译一下？

International accord应该是指国际公约。
Discord在文中主要指违反了国际公约，与之背道而驰。

这句话的意思为：
如果要成功的对某个国家实行禁运，必须要满足：1。要满足有关禁运的国际公约；2。要完全阻止进出口这个国家的货物。
如果要对P国实行禁运，封锁此国的所有港口是必需的，但是这会导致违反禁运的国际公约。
For a trade embargo against a particular country to succeed, a high degree of both international accord and ability to prevent goods from entering or leaving that country must be sustained. A total blockade of Patria's ports is necessary to an embargo, but such an action would be likely to cause international discord over the embargo.

所以应该选D。因为“封锁港口”满足了条件2，但是有无可避免地导致了违反条件1。因此，对P国的禁运总会失败的。
