问题     The proportion of works cut for the cinema in Britain dropped from 40 percent when I joined the BBFC in 1975 to less than 4 percent when I left. But I don’t think that 20 years from now it will be possible to regulate any medium as closely as I regulated film.
    The Internet is, of course, the greatest problem for this century. (46)The world will have to find a means, through some sort of international treaty or United Nations initiative, to control the material that’s now going totally unregulated into people’s homes. That said, it will only take one little country like Paraguay to refuse to sign a treaty for transmission to be unstoppable. Parental control is never going to be sufficient.
    (47)I’m still very worried about the impact of violent video games, even though researchers say their impact is moderated by the fact that players don’t so much experience the game as enjoy the technical maneuvers that enable you to win. But in respect of violence in mainstream films, I’m more optimistic. Quite suddenly, tastes have changed, and it’s no longer Stallone or Schwarzenegger who are the top stars, but Leonardo Di Caprio—that has taken everybody by surprise.
    (48)Go through the most successful films in Europe and America now and you will find virtually none that are violent. Quentin Tarantino didn’t usher in a new, violent generation, and films are becoming much more pre-social than one would have expected.
    Cinemagoing will undoubtedly survive. The new multiplexes are a glorious experience, offering perfect sound and picture and very comfortable seats, things which had died out in the 1980s. (49)I can’t believe we’ve achieved that only to throw it away in favour of huddling around a 14-inch computer monitor to watch digitally-delivered movies at home.
    It will become increasingly cheap to make films, with cameras becoming smaller and lighter but remaining very precise. (50)That means greater chances for new talent to emerge, as it will be much easier to learn how to be a better film-maker. Careers will be shorter in the future, and once retired, people will spend a lot of time learning to do things that amuse them—like making videos. Fifty years on we could well be media-saturated as both producers and audiences: instead of writing letters, one will send little home movies entitled My Week.

选项
答案尽管研究人员说，玩暴力电子游戏的人并不是在体验游戏本身，更多地是在享受使他们能取胜的技术操作，这就减弱了这类游戏的影响。然而，我对这种影响仍然忧心忡忡。
解析 句子的框架是I’m still worried about...，even though researchers say their impact is...by the fact that players don’t so much...as...。even though引导了让步状语从句，而状语从句中又包含了一个由that引导的宾语从句(省略了that)作谓语动词say的宾语；宾语从句中的is moderated by the fact that...是被动语态，又包含名词同位语从句，不便按原文结构译，可以拆除the fact that..，把后面的从句视为say的宾语，然后把被动转为主动，添补"这"作为moderate(减弱)的主语，译成"这就减弱了这类游戏的影响"；同位语从句中同时含有句型not so much...as...，意思是"与其…不如…"或"不是…更多的是…"，另外，此结构中还包含了that引导的定语从句修饰先行词the technical maneuvers。
