标题: LSAT-3-4-13 [打印本页] 作者: crusaders 时间: 2004-1-19 01:27 标题: LSAT-3-4-13 13.Physician: The patient is suffering either from disease X or else from disease Y, but there is no available test for distinguishing X from Y. Therefore, since there is an effective treatment for Y but no treatment for X, we must act on the assumption that the patient has a case of Y. The physician’s reasoning could be based on which one of the following principles? (A) In treating a patient who has one or the other of two diseases, it is more important to treat the diseases than to determine which of the two diseases the patient has. (B) If circumstances beyond a decision maker’s control will affect the outcome of the decision maker’s actions, the decision maker must assume that circumstances are unfavorable. (C) When the soundness of a strategy depends on the truth of a certain assumption, the first step in putting the strategy into effect must be to test the truth of this assumption. (D) When success is possible only if a circumstance beyond one’s control is favorable, then one’s strategy must be based on the assumption that this circumstance is in fact favorable. (E) When only one strategy carries the possibility of success, circumstances must as much as possible be changed to fit this strategy. 做的时候选择了E 但答案是D 可看了半天也 看不出 D比E有多好 谢谢大家帮忙 作者: flora_wang 时间: 2004-1-19 07:18
in choice E, the sentence:" circumstances be changed to fit this strategy" 不对, 医生是假设, 不是改变环境.... 不过偶也错了,也是错在choice E 上头....作者: crusaders 时间: 2004-1-19 12:52
谢谢 兔兔MM 但是大家再看看D这么翻译对么 (D) When success is possible only if a circumstance beyond one’s control is favorable, then one’s strategy must be based on the assumption that this circumstance is in fact favorable. 只有当超出了人们的控制那种情况是可能的成功才是可能的时候，人们的策略才一定要基于一个假设.在这个假设中这种情况一定是可能的.

D) When success is possible only if a circumstance beyond one's control is favorable, then one's strategy must be based on the assumption that this circumstance is in fact favorable. if a circumstance beyond one's control is favorable:指如果一种超出控制的情况（得X)是favorable-->那这种情况就是（得Y)
then one's strategy must be based on the assumption that this circumstance is in fact favorable.:那人们的策略就必须基于一个假设，那就是这种情况是favorable的（得Y)
