Amid the endless typing and clicking on smartphones and computers, ink-based writing instruments continue to prevail, which is why Platinum Pen remains committed to providing high-quality, elegant and affordable fountain pens to discerning customers for whom the art of writing will never die.
Channeling the spirit of Japanese monozukuri craftsmanship for more than a century, Platinum Pen, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2019, combines tradition and innovation to develop writing instruments fit for the needs and desires of its modern customers, based firmly on the belief that its fountain pens will always have a place even in our highly digitalized world.
" Writing contributes to creativity and brain activity; and the use of writing instruments in exams and reports continues to increase. In Europe, fountain pens have been used since the compulsory education stage. The digital mega-trend is easy to see, but
the other side
continues to exist. Just as a pendulum does not swing only in one direction," says Platinum Pen’s president, Toshiya Nakata, who highlights the important role of the fountain pen in a world where mindfulness, reconnecting with tradition and "digital detox" have become increasingly popular concepts.
In a bid to encourage the wide-range use of fountain pens, Platinum launched Preppy fountain pens in 2007, since which more than 10 million Preppy fountain pens have been sold worldwide. Offering smooth writing and high quality at a very low price, Preppy fountain pens are perfect for beginners and have become incredibly popular with younger women thanks to their cool, sleek and modern design. The Preppy features Platinum’s patented "Slip and Seal" mechanism that prevents the nib from drying out after long periods without use. "This allows comfortable writing with fresh ink anytime and also reduces the need for repairs considerably," explains Mr. Nakata. "We applied the technology to the Preppy series to make it easier to handle for people who do not use fountain pens regularly. "
For serious fountain pen enthusiasts seeking a more luxury and classic style, the " Slip and Seal" mechanism is also a feature of Platinum’s premium #3776 series. Launched in 2011, the #3776 Century pen—whose name is a nod to being the No. 1 fountain pen in Japan featuring the height of Mount Fuji (3,776m)—boasts a 14k gold nib and cartridge converter-style fill system. Forty years on since the release of the first # 3776 brand, the # 3776 Century is the result of Platinum’s untiring efforts over the past one hundred years to craft the ideal fountain pen.
What does "the other side" (Line 3, Para. 3) refer to?
选项
A、The defects of digital devices.
B、Writing tools with ink.
C、The swing direction of a pendulum.
D、The concept of "digital detox".
答案
B
解析
词义题。根据原文中but可知,the other side指代的内容应在but前面,且由but引起的转折可知,其欲表示的内容与but前面相反,digital mega-trend“数字化的大趋势”对应第一段第一句中的endless typing and clicking on smartphones and computers“智能手机和电脑无休止的打字和点击”,continues to exist“继续存在”对应continue to prevail“继续流行”,故the other side指代的词应该与ink-based writing instruments“基于墨水的书写工具”同义,故选项B正确;选项A为无中生有,故排除;选项C是第三段第四句比喻的内容,故排除;选项D是第三段最后一句的内容,不够全面,故排除。
