199.
Vitacorp, a manufacturer, wishes to make its information booth at an industry convention more
productive in terms of boosting sales. The booth offers information introducing the company’s
new products and services. To achieve the desired result, Vitacorp’s marketing department will
attempt to attract more people to the both. The marketing director’s first measure was to
instruct each salesperson to call his or her five best customers and personally invite them to
visit the booth.
Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the prediction that the marketing
director’s first measure will contribute to meeting the goals of boosting sales?
(A) Vitacorp’s salespeople routinely inform each important customer about new products and
services as soon as the decision to launch them has been made.
(B) Many of Vitacorp’s competitors have made plans for making their won information booths
more productive in increasing sales.
(C) An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not otherwise
have attended the booth.
(D) Most of Vitacorp’s best customers also have business dealings with Vitacorp’s
competitors.
(E) Vitacorp has fewer new products and services available this year than it had in previous
years.


(C) An information booth that is well attended tends to attract visitors who would not otherwise
have attended the booth.


那個otherwise...放在中間,該如何翻意阿???

题设说：市场总监的主意是让销售人员邀请自己的客户到展台参观，这样能吸引更多的访客参观他们的展台。
题目问得是哪个选项，如果所述属实，能支持这个主意的正确性，既逻辑。
C说如果一个展台上有很多客户在参观，那么这个展台可以吸引更多不愿参观冷清展台的访客。

谢谢，我主要想知道otherwise的用法和意思，有哪位nn能说说吗？

Rebeldom

think otherwise
有另外的想法
be quite otherwise engaged
完全忙别的事
He is noisy, but otherwise a nice boy.
他爱吵闹, 但在其他方面却是个好孩子。
He reminded me of what I should otherwise have forgotten.
他提醒了我, 要不然我就会把这件事给忘了。
上面的都是副词,具体意思可以看到的

还有做连词的状况
比如
you'd better go now, otherwise you'll miss the train

这些都摘自金山谷歌词典,供参考

谢谢楼上,上述词典也查过，但无法将其义代入句子，who would not otherwise
have attended the booth.
因为otherwise做副词是 《其他的》 的意思并隐含转折，句中那样用有点双重否定的味道。没有otherwise就非常简单。
