　　英语情景对话

　　There are thousands of magazines published in the world to meet the needs of different readers. But only a few of them are influential¹ worldwide.

　　世界上有成千上万种杂志出版以满足不同读者的需要。但是在世界范围内具有影响的却不多。

　　You have hit the point. It's really hard for a magazine to be well known to people of various ages and educational backgrounds.

　　你说到点上了。要使一份杂志为不同年龄、不同教育背景的群体所熟知，确实是件困难的事。

　　But I think Digest is supposed to be the top one. Its subscribers or buyers are from all social classes, perhaps, a majority of them from the educated group. It's quite strange that the readers love it after reading it.

　　而我认为《文摘》杂志是最好的。它的订阅户和购买者来自社会的各个阶层，可能有很大一部分来自受过教育的群体。很奇怪的是读过它的人就会喜爱上它。

　　To my mind, the success of Digest is in the clever selection² of its articles in each issue.

　　我觉得《文摘》的成功在于其聪明地选择每一期所要刊登的文章。
