标题: feifei-23 题求助

23. On a certain day, nine scheduled flights on Swift Airlines were canceled. Ordinarily, a cancellation is due to mechanical problems with the airplane scheduled for a certain flight. However, since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day, some of the nine cancellations were probably due to something else.



The argument depends on which one of the following assumptions?



A.        More than one or two airplanes were scheduled for the nine canceled flights.


B.        Swift Airlines has fewer mechanical problems than do other airlines of the same size.


C.        Each of the canceled flights would have been longer than the average flight on Swift Airlines.


D.       Swift Airlines had never before canceled more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day.


E.        All of the airplanes scheduled for the canceled flights are based at the same airport.



我看来看去对A都没有理解是什么意思,是指会有多于1,2驾飞机安排去补充那些取消的航班?还是指什么?麻烦xdjm帮手解释一下?谢谢

九次航班不可能都是由一驾飞机负责飞行的,如果是这样,那么所有九次航班被取消不都是由于这一价飞机的机械故障问题么?这种情况不太可能发生,因为文章中明确指出:


However, since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day,

以下是引用lykuang02在2005-9-28 15:41:00的发言:

但是这里不是说more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day吗?并没有说是nore than one or two scheduled flights on a single plane啊?还望进一步指点

喔...今早起床时突然想通了,是不是要是只是一两驾飞机出问题,而这九个航班都是由这两架飞机来飞的话, 这九个航班的cancellation 便都可以due to mechanical problems了. 因为在前提说没可能more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day是由mechanical problems造成的,所以要是多架飞机的航班被取消,不可能违反前提归属于mechanical problems,就只能说明是其它原因造成的了


谢谢 lykuang02 的解释啊,昨天我没转过弯来,呵呵

还是很困惑阿,觉得A跟题目没有关系,除非把题目改为since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two airplanes on a single day。。。


哪位帮忙解释一下?

我觉得你说的跟题目其实是一个意思的,因为一次航班是有一架飞机承担的a cancellation is due to mechanical problems with the airplane scheduled for a certain flight.,那一架飞机有问题造成一次航班取消,一天之内不会有超过2次的航班被取消也就是不会有超过2架的飞机发生故障.


一架飞机代表一次航班.

mm的意思我明白了,那我觉得这个假设是since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day的假设,虽然也是这段话的假设,不过看起来很绕阿。
作者: 深秋的马蹄莲    时间: 2005-10-26 14:22

我觉得不怎么绕啊,


一架飞机一次航班,那九个航班取消,如果是飞机故障的原因而不是其它原因造成的话,那只能是不超过两架飞机来承担九个航班了,而将第一个答案取非的话是: 只有一个或两个飞机承担九个航班,那样的话造成取消的原因就只能是飞机故障而不可能是其他原因了,这样对题目就起了weaken的作用了,不知道说清楚了没有呵呵~~~

last sentence mention, it is unlikely one or two airflight would have mechanical problem in the same day, should be sth wrong.So we can deduce it really happened, so the author get this conclusion. Sth unexpected or wrong happened!

since it is unlikely that Swift would have the mechanical problems with more than one or two scheduled flights on a single day
这句话到底应该怎么理解?我怎么觉得应该说的是 不可能有比一到两次还多的航班被取消是因为机械故障啊??有的同学把这句话翻成不可能有一到两架以上的飞机出故障,前后两者不一样吧?而且看起来应该是前者对吧?,如果说不可能有一到两次以上的航班被取消是因为机械故障,那么就不可能只有两架以下的飞机在飞这九个航班了,因为如果这两架飞机出了故障,那么一定是九个航班都是出了机械故障所以停飞了,那么就违背了题目中的要求了,所以A的假设没意义了啊,已经包含在这个unlikely里了啊?如果是后者,不可能有一到两架以上的飞机出故障,而且又有两架以上的飞机在飞这九趟航班,那么肯定有别的原因了,那就是A了, 但是我觉的这句话不能理解成后者啊?

结论:同一天不可能有超过2个航班因为飞机的机械故障取消,一定是有别的原因。
(最多只可能2架飞机同一天机械故障)

assumption:9个航班一定是由超过2架飞机飞的(为了说明一定是有别的原因)
作者: ydqsbfs    时间: 2015-6-9 05:24
目的是支持一定有别的原因。如果像题干中所说的有超过两架飞机执行任务,那么一定是有其他的原因导致九趟线班被取消。

这道题的确很绕。

嗯, 我觉得这个问题的重点在于区分flight和airplane
