题目材料：

Some argue that translators should be paid royalties and share in the commercial success of works they translate rather than earning a flat fee. This is nonsense. Umberto Eco was better translated by Richard Dixon than by William Weaver, but Eco' s bestseller The Name of the Rose, which Weaver translated, was an infinitely better book than Numero Zero, translated by Dixon. Why should one translator grow rich and the other not? Popular novelists J. K. Rowling and Stieg Larsson are easy to translate. Should publishers skew translators' earnings by giving vast sums to those doing work that is immeasurably easier than, say, Galassi' s translations of Montale' s poems? Introducing royalties would encourage the finest translators to drop literary work altogether and concentrate on popular novels.

The author of the passage would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements about authors and their translators?

A.Authors who are commercially successful generally attract the most-talented translators.
B.Under current arrangements, translators typically earn more money for difficult projects than for easy ones.
C.Different works in the same genre typically offer similar degrees of difficulty for translators.
D.Translators are often better at assessing the literary quality of works than are the authors themselves.
E.Authors typically have much more impact than translators do on the commercial success of works.
