Gratuitous assumption广东话就是“无厘头的假设” 普通话就是说，错误假设。以下边这一题为例子。 clothing chain to her business partner: “Commercial real estate prices have been rising steadily in the Sandida Heights neighborhood for several years, while the prices in the adjacent neighborhood of Palm Grove have remained the same. It seems obvious, then, that a retail space in Sandida Heights must now be much more expensive than a similar space in Palm Grove, which was not the case several years ago. So, it appears that retail spaces in Sandida Heights are now overpriced relative to those in Palm Grove. Therefore, it would be in our financial interest to purchase a retail space in Palm Grove rather than in Sandida Heights.” 里边就有一个逻辑谬误。gratuitous assumption（错误假设）假设人们只是根据房价来判断是否该买房，实际不是如此，人们也要根据房子所处位置和升值空间来判断买哪里的房子，比如，环境太差，即使再便宜人们也未必会去买…… 我不知道有没有解释清楚，我15号考。也在啃作文。 -- by 会员 dabianfu (2009/11/12 1:53:03)
“To succeed financially, Zapped needs greater name recognition. It should therefore diversify its commercial enterprises. The rock group Zonked plays the same type of music that Zapped plays, but it is much better known than Zapped because in addition to its concert tours and four albums, Zonked has a series of posters, a line of clothing and accessories, and a contract with a major advertising agency to endorse a number of different products.”
此题是不是可以这样理解
作者认为succeed financially需要greater name recognition，但其实succeed financially同样需要别的 比如音乐天赋啊 弹琴技书啊等等 |
