【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[解析] 本题的题解关键在于对句子结构的分析及对重点短语的理解。本句主语是The magazine，谓语为was ordered，to compensate for the losses of the novelist为宾语，for... permission作原因状语。compensate for the losses of the novelist译为“赔偿给小说家带来的损失”；running his stories as serials译为“连载其故事”；without his permission译为“未经其授权”。B选项翻译基本正确，但不如A选项地道；C和D选项将order译为“命令”太过生硬，而且误译了短语running his stories as serials。
