tpo阅读第一篇chinese pottery的第5题
C选项 earthenware ceramics were produced in China before stonewares were.
我知道对应的就是第三段的第一句.但是虽然开头有一个the earliest 但是后面有一个but as early a.难道意思不是stonwares早就在15世纪就可以做出来了还是上了釉的.那应该最早的是stoneware啊!〒_〒快要被这道题折磨疯了,

Answer 1

我觉得lz说对应第一句没错,但是曲解了第一句的意思.
The earliest ceramics were fired to earthenware temperatures,but as early as the fifteenth century B.C.,high-temperature stonewares were being made with glazed surfaces.
大意为最早的ceramics是被烧到陶器,但是早在15世纪,瓷器就被烧出来了了.
所以选项C earthenware ceramics were produced in China before stonewares were 在瓷器还没烧出来之前的陶器.是应该被考虑到history里的.
反之选项A The earliest high-fired ceramics were of “poor quality” 是原文中没有提起的.
