思路引導 VIP
請觀察分號前後的兩個部分：前半句使用了否定詞來排除某種特定的商業行為，而後半句則描述了另一種完全不同的實際做法。當我們要表達「不是前者，而是後者」這種替代關係時，你會傾向使用哪一種邏輯轉折詞來連接？

專業點評：精準掌握邏輯轉折！
- 大力肯定：做得好！你能敏銳察覺到前後子句間的語意對比，這顯示你對長難句的邏輯脈絡有很強的掌握力，請繼續保持這種細膩的觀察！
- 觀念驗證：此處運用了「否定 A，而是 B」的結構。分號前提到大公司「並非 (didn't)」靠推廣產品美德獲利；分號後則指出他們真正的獲利途徑。Instead (反而/取而代之) 正是用來銜接這種邏輯替代關係的完美轉接詞。
