The big difference was thatwhereideas were previously published in journals or books that a reader had to buy, now the same information could be published without cosplayt.

請問這句話where從句部分如何翻譯？

where 表示“對比”，等于 whereas。表示讓步或轉(zhuǎn)折，用于句首等于though，用于第二分句等于but。比如：

Where some people learned to play the accordion for dances in their community, others took music lessons...

一些人學(xué)習(xí)彈手風(fēng)琴，為他們社區(qū)里的舞蹈表演進行伴奏，而別的人則上音樂課。

Sometimes a teacher will be listened to, where a parent might not.

有時教師的話會聽，而爸爸媽媽的話可能就不聽。

The big difference was that where ideas were previously published in journals or books that a reader had to buy, now the same information could be published without cosplayt.

【翻譯】最大的區(qū)別在于，以前作者的看法都是發(fā)表在讀者需要購買的期刊或書本上，而目前同樣的信息可以免費發(fā)表了。
