Fearing competition from stores that rent video games for home use, owners of stores that sell video games lobbied for protective legislation. Citing as a precedent legislation that postpones home film rentals until one year after general release to theaters, the video sellers proposed as an equitable solution a plan that would postpone rental of any video game until it had been available for sale for one year.

Which of the following, if true, would support an objection by owners of video rental stores that the fairness of the proposed legislation is not supported by the precedent cited?

A. Although the daily rental fee for home use of films is generally the same as that for video games, the average rental period for a video game is longer than that for a film.

B. Film rentals for home use tend to particularly strong during the first year after a film has been made available for both sale and rental at video rental stores.

C. Most people are interested in playing only the latest video games and tend to find video games that have been available for over a year unappealing whether they have played them before or not, whereas films maintain their appeal far longer after their release.

D. People who rent video games tend to play them by themselves, whereas people who rent films invite friends and neighbors to watch.

E. A slight decline in revenues from films that have been recently released in theaters has been attributed to the growing market for rentals of films for home use.

题目：由于害怕源于电玩租赁店铺的竞争，电玩销售店铺的店主开始游说要求相关的保护立法。这些电玩销售店主引用了一个之前的关于影片租赁的保护立法，该保护立法规定，对于所有影片，影片租赁店铺必须在该影片在电影院中大规模上映之后1年才能出租该影片。由此电玩销售店主提出了一个相同的解决方案，该解决方案要求电玩租赁店铺必须在新电玩上市销售1年之后才能开始对该新电玩的租赁。

问下列陈述中，哪一项可以作为电玩租赁店主对上述论述不能支持 [电玩销售店铺]所提立法的公平性的一个反对理由。

A 尽管电玩租赁的日价与影片租赁的日价大致相同，但是通常情况下电玩的租赁时间长于影片的租赁时间；

B 影片租赁需求在该影片能够同时销售和租赁的第一年内会尤其的强烈；

C 大多数人仅仅喜欢玩最新的电玩游戏，并且倾向于觉得那些发行超过1年的电玩没有吸引力，无论他们之前是否玩过这个游戏；但影片却能在他们发行之后长期保持吸引力；

D 租电玩的人通常自己玩，而租影片的人通常邀请朋友和邻居一起看；

E 最近影院公布了一些很小的影片收入下降，该下降被归认为是由于影片租赁市场的成长造成的。

原文中的论断的最直接基础是一个类比，就是影片销售和租赁的关系与电玩销售和租赁的关系是可比的

这一点C选项完全的削弱了上述勒比关系，可以作为一个很好的反对其立法公平性的理由，对于电影事业，影片长时间都有吸引力，晚一年开租早已年开租问题不大，但是对于电玩，大多数人只完最新的，晚一年开租可能就没人租了，所以两个领域的情况完全不一样，用影片类比电玩不科学，于是立法的基本依据就没有了

谢谢阿！我在看题的时候，一直不明白那么卖video game的是干什么的，和做题有什么关系。。

A. Although the daily rental fee for home use of films is generally the same as that for video games, the average rental period for a video game is longer than that for a film.

B. Film rentals for home use tend to particularly strong during the first year after a film has been made available for both sale and rental at video rental stores.

题目在类比电影VS游戏的关系，这里只说了电影，没谈到游戏，无关。

这个对，但容易被误以为是支持原来的建议——限制游戏光盘一年后才可以租赁。

玩游戏的只对最新的游戏感兴趣，如果采取限制游戏光盘一年后才可以租赁的建议，那游戏可能都没人租了。

但电影队人的吸引力，持续的时间很长，因此两者没有可比性。

D. People who rent video games tend to play them by themselves, whereas people who rent films invite friends and neighbors to watch.

迷惑选项，租游戏光盘的租来只自己玩，但租电影的会招朋友一起分享。

即使租游戏光盘的租来只自己玩，但还是影响了sell store的生意，分流了他们的顾客，因此支持了sell store的建议——限制游戏关盘一年后才可以租赁。
