24.An unbiased observer of everyday encounters in Western societies would surely not find many instances of unkindness by people under 65 toward people over 65. There are undoubtedly incidents of unkindness based on age, and these warrant reproof. However, the very fact that such reproof occurs and is generally accepted implies that our Western societies basically respect the elderly. The same conclusion can be drawn from a recent survey finding: 71 percent of the under 65 population agreed with the statement that “people over 65 receive too little respect from society”, while only 44 percent of the over-65 population, the target of the alleged irreverence agreed with it.
The author concludes that Western societies basically respect the elderly partly because
(A) people under 65 are just as kind to people over 65 as they are to people of their own age group
(B) survey data suggest that fewer people over 65 than under 65 get too little respect
(C) disrespect for the elderly does not go so far as to result in actual harm
(D) survey data suggest that people over 65 are more aware of incidents involving disrespect to the elderly than are people under 65(E)
(E) incidents of unkindness to the elderly are neither common nor generally accepted in Western societies
题目看不懂,找不到他的逻辑关系,请解释,请指点
题干说:在西方社会里,那些常见的没有偏见的观察者都不会发现太多关于65岁以下的人对65岁以上的人的不敬行为。无疑这种不敬的行为是随年龄而改变的,并且这一行为是需要谴责的。但是,这种谴责的存在和被广泛得接受暗示了西方社会基本上都是尊敬老人的。这一结论同样可以被另一发现所证明:71%的65岁以下的人同意“65以上的人从社会上得到太少的尊敬”的观点,然而只有44%的65岁以上的人(那些不敬行为的对象)同意这个观点。
被翻译出来后,是不是这种逻辑关系会明显一点?
黑体部分是作者给出的原因,所以要从这里找出支持作者结论的理由。这道题是不是选E啊,因为你给的题目不全,而且我看的A,B,C,D都不对,那只能认为是E了。
這題有點繞 (對我來說...) 我試著從正確答案反推, 猜想作者的意思可能是:
因為尊老的概念已經頗為深入人心, 因此大家的標準訂得很高, say, 看到公共交通工具上有老人沒讓座, 普通人都會覺得這是對老人的不尊重, 可是也許老人自己覺得老當益壯, 根本沒覺得應該被讓坐, 造成了71% & 44%的認知差異.
反之, 假如社會普遍不敬老, 看到幾乎走不懂的老人也不讓座更不覺得應該讓座, 那麼上述比例很可能會是顛倒的, 也就是說, 变成71%的老人覺得自己不受尊敬, 44%的青壯年卻不覺得有此狀況了...
嗯。。。
我觉得pudding说的是对的,
是因为作者认为大家对respect elder的stardard不同,所以造成了survey的偏差,但其实社会是respect的。
因此E选项应当是一个assumption。。。
不知我理解的对么?
E 选项是说:"在西方, 对老人的不敬行为是不常见的,也是不被人们接受的."
这个并不是假设,而是从两个实际的现象.
1/ 观察者很少发现有65岁以下的人对65岁以上的人不敬.→对老人不敬的行为不常见.
2/ 71%的年轻人认为对老人的尊敬还不够,而事实上只有44%的老人这样认为.→对老人不尊重是不被接受的.
而题干中的结论"西方社会普遍尊重老人." 正是由这两点推出来的.(这两点是因,尊重老人是果)
E选项只不过是把这两点做了一个改写而已.
