深海的小美人鱼

A violin constructed to have improved sound would sound different from the best-sounding existing violins.
To professional violinists, a violin that sounds different from the best-sounding existing violins sounds less like a violin and therefore worse than the best-sounding existing violins.
Professional violinists are the only accepted judges of the sound quality of violins.
Would be the best supported by those statements?
(A) Only amateur violinists should be asked to judge the sound quality of newly constructed violins.
(B) Professional violinists supervise the construction of violins.
(C) The best-sounding existing violins have been in existence fro several centuries.
(D) It is currently impossible to construct a violin that the only accepted judges will evaluate as having improved sound.
(E) It is possible to construct a violin that sounds better than the best-sounding existing violins to everyone but professional violinists.

答案D。死活不明白里面的逻辑是什么。

试解答如下：

C violin improve sound qualtiy,but different from B-violin
Professional can only judge B violin

==> Professional can not judge C violin and thus can not evluate wheteher C viloion improve the sound quality
        rofessional are the only judges of sound quality

==> So it is currently impossbile to .....

改进意味着和现存的好琴声音不同。

大师：不同＝不好

大师说什么就是什么。



问结论。

答案：D，想让大师说“好”是不可能的。

But why E is wrong? It is possible to build a better violin, but because it will be different with the best-exisiting one, the professional violinist would think the new one is not better. However it indeed sounds better than the best-existing one - everyone else could agree it, but the professionals won't.

以下是引用beechanooi在2005-6-11 7:40:00的发言：

But why E is wrong? It is possible to build a better violin, but because it will be different with the best-exisiting one, the professional violinist would think the new one is not better. However it indeed sounds better than the best-existing one - everyone else could agree it, but the professionals won't.

不要忘了，文中有一句话，Professional violinists are the only accepted judges of the sound quality of violins.也就是说除了professional violinists别人都没有资格判断是否一个小提琴有better sounds。因而也就不可能 to construct a violin that sounds better than the best-sounding existing violins 如果不是professional violinists说better,就不是better.再说了，原文中根本就没有提到everyone else的意见和对小提琴的评价，你不能根据常识assume他们会和professional violinists 的想法不同，他们的想法也许一样，也许不一样，我们不知道，但绝对不能assume文中没有给的条件，所以E无法support原文！

而D可以！原文中提到对于professional violinists没有improved sound.任何和best-existing one相比不同的，就不如best-existing好！那么也就说明根本不可能造出一个小提琴，professional violinists会评价说它有improved sound.他们只会说好，和best-exisiting一样好，或者不如best-existing好！

虽然这个答案从常识角度来讲有点难接受可是我们必须尊重原文所给的条件来加强！

b为什么不对？

d中的impossible太绝对了

D答案解释：题目赋予专家的权利，有1个最好且不可超越的小提琴。现在当然做不出一个超过它的小提琴了。

虽然明白答案是选D，但是B也有一点道理啊，什么足够的理由去排除B？

一起加油的夥伴

B選項其實是個陷阱,

因為原文有說Professional violinists are the only accepted judges of the sound quality of violins.

所以不是supervise the construction of violins.
望高手指教

是酱紫的，偶来说说：

任何“改进”都不同于“最好”

专家说：不同于“最好”就是不像个琴，因而差于“最好”

只有专家有资格判断琴的质量

所以。。。有了这个“最好”，就不可能有别的琴会令专家认为更好了。。。

真是够有奇怪的逻辑。。。
