一道托福阅读题,
Since it was first diagnosed in 1981,AIDS has steadily spread into an epidemic across the US There are approximately 1 million Americans currently living with HIV.Those infections are unevenly distributed throughout society,however.African-Americans make up nearly 50% of all cases of HIV,despite the fact that account for only 13% of the population.The statistics for African-Americans women are particularly grim,with African-Americans making up 72% of all female virus carriers.Infection rates among Latin-Americans,the other major minority group in America,are similarly lopsided.这是一道托福阅读词汇题,问lopsided是什么意思.我搞不懂的地方是:从Those infections are unevenly distributed throughout society.一句可以看出传播是不均衡的,但是最后一句are similarly lopsided中的similarly是什么意思,什么是相似的呢.我因为similarly的线索所以选择了discouraging但是答案应该是uneven.请问similarly该怎么解释
similarly 指同样地,类似地.因为前文作者一直在说HIV的distribution 不同,是uneven的是不均衡的,非裔美国人占了多数 .现在又在说拉丁裔美国人也是相似的lopsided.从作者的逻辑判断应继续表达uneven之意.
