问题     If the Harry Potter books stand as the essential popular reading for young people, then The Da Vinci Code has captured the crown for grown-ups. With its controversial mix of storytelling and reasoning, the novel remains high on best-seller lists even as it begins its third year since publication.
    Twenty-five million books, in 44 languages, are in print worldwide and no end is in sight. Booksellers expect The Da Vinci Code to remain a best-seller well into 2005.
    The unusual success of The Da Vinci Code has been helped by wide access, with the book on sale everywhere from Wal-Mart to airports to supermarkets.
    The Da Vinci Code has also thrived during a time when both literary and commercial novels struggled, when a tight economy, competition from other media and election-year tensions drove the public to nonfiction works or away from books altogether. Publishers and booksellers say Brown’s novel has worked by combining narrative (叙述) excitement and disputed historical detail.
选项
答案     如果说《哈里波特》系列丛书代表了年轻人的主流阅读趣味，那么《达?芬奇密码》则赢得了成年人的青睐。该小说将讲故事和推理以一种有争议的方式结合起来，从问世之初就一直高居畅销书榜前列，尽管这本书出版至今已经是第3年了。
    《达?芬奇密码》被译成44种语言在全球范围内出版，总印量达到2 500万册。目前这种趋势还没有停下来的迹象，书商们预测它将继续成为2005年度的畅销书。
    《达?芬奇密码》非同寻常的成功得益于其广泛的销售渠道，这本书几乎随处可见，在沃尔玛、机场和超级市场里均可购到。
    《达?芬奇密码》兴盛于文学小说和商业小说争斗不休的一个时期，时值经济紧缩时期，来自其他媒体的竞争和选举年带来的压力促使大众倒向非文学作品，或者根本不看书。出版商和书商们认为布朗的小说成功地将令人激动的情节叙述和引起争议的历史细节结合起来。
