这是我引用了别人的。来源:http://forum.chasedream.com/archiver/GMAT_CR/thread-531427-1.html 个人认为这个解释才是正确的。generalization of lingering 并不是如上说的为了看明星逗留时间长。就是文段里说的坐高椅子的人比坐普通椅子的人时间呆的要短。也解决了我上面的小疑问。 Premises: 1) Customers come to Hollywood Restaurant to watch the celebrities so customrs would prefer tall tables to get a better view. 2) Diners seated on stools typically stay a shorter time than diners on regular seats.
Conclusion: If the Hollywood replaced some of its seating with high tables and stools, its profits would increase.
Basically, the argument says that stools would attract more customers and customers sitting on stools turn over quickly. Therefore, profits would be up. Wait a minute. Based on premise 1, if the customers are attracted to the restaraunt because they want to see celebrities, shouldn't they stay LONGER than normal customers? If so, it runs contrary to premise 2 which describes a general trend in customer's lingering behavior. The customer attracted might sit on the stools for a LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNG time without spending much on food. No turnover, no money! |
