that's only the first two letters of the alphabet在下文中是什么意思?是一种比喻用法吗
(前文在讲FALMOUTH地方为文学界贡献了许多作家和作品.) George Alagiah,Kate Adie,Beryl Bainbridge,Melvyn Bragg,Louis de Bernieres...and that's only the first two letters of the alphabet.(In fairness the remaining 24 letters aren't quite as strongly represented but even so.)

Answer 1

不是比喻,是确确实实的26个字母的前两位.指的是他列出的作家的姓（last name）只是以A和B开头的,其它的还没有列出来.
