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,howe
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.
前文指非裔美洲人只占总人口的13%,艾滋病人的比例却占到50%,而其中72%的女性都是病毒携带者,因此极度不平衡,而后面说拉丁美洲,又一个美洲的少数民族,也一样遭遇着不平衡的。lopside就是倒向一边,也即uneven。
