AA 18 看的思维混乱，求助

The following is an excerpt from a memo written by the head of a governmental department.

“Neither stronger ethics regulations nor stronger enforcement mechanisms are necessary to ensure ethical behavior by companies doing business with this department. We already have a code of ethics that companies doing business with this department are urged to abide by, and virtually all of these companies have agreed to follow it. We also know that the code is relevant to the current business environment because it was approved within the last year, and in direct response to specific violations committed by companies with which we were then working—not in abstract anticipation of potential violations, as so many such codes are.”

Discuss how well reasoned... etc.

觉得这段话的确是写的思维混乱，不过自己也给搞得有点混乱了，哪位给点思路吧。

mm可以参考一下224里的范文.

这。。。除此以外呢？

这题确实挺怪义的。不过你的gmat 爱情逻辑题更怪异，真难,haha.

结论：“Neither stronger ethics regulations nor stronger enforcement mechanisms are necessary to ensure ethical behavior by companies doing business with this department.

理由1：We already have a code of ethics that companies doing business with this department are urged to abide by, and virtually all of these companies have agreed to follow it.

反驳： The fact that  a code already exists does not necessarily guarantee that the code is effective......

理由2：We also know that the code is relevant to the current business environment because it was approved within the last year, and in direct response to specific violations committed by companies with which we were then working—not in abstract anticipation of potential violations, as so many such codes are.”

反驳： 1， relevance does not ensure that it works well. 2， experience is not surely preferred to anticipation.

唉，谢谢你的回复，我改天再想想，然后把自己的思路也贴出来吧。。。：）

这GMAT爱情逻辑题可不是我编的哦，不知道是不是也是ETS写的？这还是好几年前在某个BBS上晃的时候，看到有人发贴说，考试时跳出来这么一道题，结果当时就对着电脑走神5分钟。。。

sigh。。。

已经改了两天了，还没想好？haha.

唉，实在不好意思，最近太忙了，GMAT都有点荒了，作文更是好好好久没看了。。。

今天看了一下，写了一个，大家讨论：

(1)过去的事不能推知未来   这个code是在去年被批准的，而去年的环境是否有它的特殊性，如。。。，所以这个code不一定适合现在的环境

(2)过去的事不能推知未来 这个code是针对当时和这个部门工作的一些公司的具体违规情况，然后又没有像有些别的code一样对未来可能发生的违规做出预期，很可能在未来对公司失去作用

(3)gratuitous assumption  无理由的认为公司肯定会遵从这个code，而事实上文中讲到在过去公司的违规现象，就是自相矛盾。

(4)即使公司会遵从这个code，也不等于stronger ethics regulations nor stronger enforcement mechanisms就是不必须的

其实，我的第1点和第2点和楼上的存在不等于有效是一致的，我在想的时候，也想写的更看上去更递进一点，比如即使1怎么样，2还是。。。。更convincing一点，但是就写不好，大家赐教吧。

the alalysis of '无敌战神' is great and clear!  it makes me wiser right now.
