看英語解釋 An edition is a particular version of a book, magazine, or newspaper that is printed at one time.
e.g.
A paperback edition is now available at bookshops.
平裝本現在在書店可以買到。
A publication is a book or magazine that has been published.
e.g. They have started legal proceedings against two publications which spoke of an affair.
他們開始對兩本提及壹樁婚外情的出版物提起法律訴訟。
從英英字典的解釋不難看出，publication指的是字典，而edition指的是版本。我們通常說字典裏有什麽內容，而不會說版本裏有什麽內容，這道題應該選D。
