Hollywood restaurant is replacing some of its standard tables with tall tables and stools. The restaurant already fills every available seat during its operating hours, and the change in seating arrangements will not result in an increase in the restaurant's seating capacity. Nonetheless, the restaurant's management expects revenue to increase as a result of the seating change without any concurrent change in menu, prices, or operating hours.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best reason for the expectation?

正确答案: B

Hollywood restaurant is replacing some of its standard tables with tall tables and stools. The restaurant already fills every available seat during its operating hours, and the change in seating arrangements will not result in an increase in the restaurant's seating capacity. Nonetheless, the restaurant's management expects revenue to increase as a result of the seating change without any concurrent change in menu, prices or operating hours.

Which of the following, if true, provides the best reason for the expectation?
  • AOne of the taller tables takes up less floor space than one of the standard tables.  分析A选项
  • BDiners seated on stools typically do not linger over dinner as long as diners seated at standard tables.  分析B选项
  • CSince the restaurant will replace only some of its standard tables, it can continue to accommodate customers who do not care for the taller tables.  分析C选项
  • DFew diners are likely to avoid the restaurant because of the new seating arrangement.  分析D选项
  • EThe standard tables being replaced by tall tables would otherwise have to be replaced with new standard tables at a greater expense.  

题目最后选择B选项,我当时在B和D中徘徊了好久,觉得这两都对。因为当时觉得B中说这样会提高翻桌率,但是觉着原文里头没有说这个饭店顾客很多啊,意思就是说换了批桌子提高翻桌率的可能性倒是有了,但不一定有顾客来啊,谁知道上波顾客吃完了还有没有另一波顾客来吃饭。就好比一个有5个桌子的饭店一个晚上也就会来5波顾客,吃到几点都没问题,翻桌了也没用。同时,又把D给翻译成了,因为seating arragement 变了,所以更少有顾客会排斥这家餐厅。但看正选这句话好像得翻译成:很少有客人会因为新的座位安排而不来吃饭!我觉得这俩翻译的都不错唉。所以想问问我这儿翻译的时候哪儿出错了!嗷。

首先,这个题真心这不是语法问题吧。。。

其次,提高翻台率显然是一个正确的可能解释。一个现象的任何一种解释当然都可以找到逻辑漏洞(比如你就找到了),但逻辑题也无非是选一个“best reason”,而不是选一个天衣无缝的解释。

你对D选项的两个翻译,表达得意思相同。D不是一个【解释】,而是一个【假设】。

即老板收入增加这件事儿,必须假设D成立才行;但D成立并不能导致

而B成立,则老板可以期望收入【增加】,所以是一个好的【解释】

sorry,没翻译清楚,非常谢谢解答!!!~我之前错误的翻译成了“因为桌子变了,所以更少的人会排斥这家餐厅→就是说可能之前很多人讨厌这个餐厅的桌子,但现在桌子变了所以更多的人会来这家餐厅”要这么翻译的话我觉得倒是可以是个正选~但是显然我翻译的完全错了~所以是想问问这个翻译的问题...抱歉之前没说清!
