狒狒6, 我哪里错了?谢谢!

accountant说去年和前年数据对比，去年比前年下降（注意这里是去年和前年的对比，去年低于前年），原因是消费者不喜欢他们饭店的菜了。
答案他因削弱
A：饭店自己将新菜从前年的菜单中取出，解释去年为什么比前年低的其他原因，不是因为消费者不喜欢了。
E：去年和前年遭受了同样的不景气，虽然是他因，却不能解释去年和前年的差异，因为去年和前年情况相同
所以我认为选A，请NN们帮忙看看，谢谢！

Sales manager: Last year the total number of meals sold in our company restaurants was much higher than it was the year before. Obviously consumers find our meals desirable.

Accountant: If you look at individual restaurants, however, you find that the number of meals sold actually decreased substantially at every one of our restaurants that was in operation both last year and the year before. The desirability of our meals to consumers has clearly decreased, given that this group of restaurants---the only ones for which we have sales figures that permit a comparison between last year and the year before---demonstrates a trend toward fewer sales.

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the accountant’s argument?

 

 

A.        The company’s restaurants last year dropped from their menus most of the new dishes that had been introduced the year before.

B.        Prior to last year there was an overall downward trend in the company’s sales.

C.        Those of the company’s restaurants that did increase their sales last year did not offer large discounts on prices to attract customers.

D.       Sales of the company’s most expensive meal contributed little to the overall two-year sales increase.

E.        Most of the company’s restaurants that were in operation throughout both last year and the year before are located in areas where residents experienced a severe overall decline in income last year.

E没有说去年和前年遭受同样的不景气啊??E是说去年和前年都营业的饭店位于某个地区,这个地区的居民在去年遭受了收入滑坡

kallyli

hehe,谢谢mm回答，我说的不景气就是大家都没钱买东西了，所以不景气，懒得打字所以简单说了一下。但是无论怎么翻译这个选项，它都说明去年和前年有相同的情况，无法解释滑坡的啊。而且mm为什么说是去年遭受滑坡呢，题目里写的是last year and the year before 啊。

补上文章先

感觉是范围题：经理是去年总体的数量上升

account说的是、；过去两年里开张的餐馆的去年和千年的业绩的比较得出了一个破结论

weaken account

就说：过去两年的开张的餐馆的萧条是有原因的。

E因为大环境不好。

谢谢gonghao nn， 忘了写文章了，把它补上
不好意思我还是不明白
accountant为了反驳sales manager，说销量下降，一共说了两个层次；
                        第一层：去年和前年销售量都下降（论点）
                        第二层：去年和前年对比得出下降趋势（论据）
让weaken, 那我weaken哪一层呢？如果weaken第一层，E对，我认为如果weaken第二层A对。

E不能说明销量的下降，下降是一个趋势，必须有对比的选项才可以成答案，E没有形成对比。

你想啊，如果整个的大环境不好，那么人们出来吃饭肯花的钱肯定就少咯，所以销量下降的原因并不是因为人们不喜欢吃饭馆的饭，而是自己没有钱。

kallyli

我觉得这个题非常怪异，一般逻辑题削弱都是削弱论据，证明论点错误。但是这个题论点是：因为顾客需求下降，所以销量下降。而使用的论据却是：去年和前年销量对比，去年少于前年。

事实上这个论据根本证明不了论点！

那怎么削弱？我开始就选的是E，E可以削弱论点：他因削弱。但是E却不能削弱论据：没有削弱销量下降。对这个题我觉得非常怪异。总觉得哪里不对，不顺畅的感觉。

gonghao

主要是论点看清：

The desirability of our meals to consumers has clearly decreased, given that this group of restaurants---the only ones for which we have sales figures that permit a comparison between last year and the year before---demonstrates a trend toward fewer sales.

这个是account的结论

因为这些餐馆的一个趋势，所以可以说明是满意度下降

这些餐馆是：restaurants that was in operation both last year and the year before.

趋势就是：去年比前年差

注意两点

1.这些餐馆不是全部餐馆

2.weaken的是满意度下降（因为经理觉得是上升）

－－－－－－－

答题：

Account的出发点是特定餐馆的数据，E weaken它的出发点，其数据如此的糟糕是因为：大环境不好。

因此不能得出，人们的满意度下降。

你说的我都同意，但是如果选E就只是weaken：the desirability of our meals to consumers has clearly decreased.而given后面的东东全都没有用啊。

我的意思就是一般逻辑题是不会出现这种情况的，竟然根后面的论据一点关系都没有。

以下是引用kallyli在2006-8-23 16:50:00的发言：

你说的我都同意，但是如果选E就只是weaken：the desirability of our meals to consumers has clearly decreased.而given后面的东东全都没有用啊。

我的意思就是一般逻辑题是不会出现这种情况的，竟然根后面的论据一点关系都没有。

你的得出的论点：因为顾客需求下降，所以销量下降

我的得出的论点：因为这些餐馆的去年比前年差这样一个趋势，所以可以说明是满意度下降

你的理解反了

文章说的是：given。。。。，The desirability of our meals to consumers has clearly decreased

given是分词，主句是The desirability of our meals to consumers has clearly decreased

所以原因是这样一个销量下降的趋势，结论是需求下降了。kalliy再读一下题
