Sunny,你的专业挺不错的。好好写essay，毕业一定能找到好工作。

whitesand，谢谢你。最后一个用法是require sthg. of sb的变体。当sthg.太长时，就变成了require of sb. that---,还有一个变体就是被动形式：sthg. be required of sb.

+U！

怪不得呢。OG上有一道题让我看了好长时间没有明白。

把题摘下来，大家参考了。

Legislation in the Canadian province of Ontario requires of both public and private employers that pay be the same for jobs historically held by women as for jobs requiring comparable skill that are usually held by men.

(A) that pay be the same for jobs historically held by women as for jobs requiring comparable skill that are

(B) that pay for jobs historically held by women should be the same as for a job requiring comparable skills

(C) to pay the same in jobs historically held by women as in jobs of comparable skill that are

(D) to pay the same regardless of whether a job was historically held by women or is one demanding comparable skills（A）

(E) to pay as much for jobs historically held by women as for a job demanding comparable skills

对啊。这下把到ETS的脉门了吧？一下子拿下这题：）

Babaypace, 请帮个忙，看这道逻辑题怎样翻译，我主要是意思搞不清楚，所以才不知所措，费了半天劲在上面了。谢啦。我发现逻辑题只要读懂了很重要。现在我做得还不顺，请指教了。

200. Outsoucing is the pratice of obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously for itself. Since a company’s chief objective is to realize the highest possible year-end profits, any product or service that can be obtained from an independent supplier for less than it would cost the company to provide the product or service on its own should be outsourced.

B. Successful outsouring requires a company to provide its supplier with information about its products and plans that can fall into the hands of its competitors and give them a business advantage.

还有这道逻辑题怎样翻译，整个让我心烦意乱。

182。The earlist Mayan pottery found at cloha, is about 3000 years old. Recently, however,4500-year-old stone agricultural implements were unearthed at colha. These implements resemble Mayan stone implements of a much later period, also found at colha. Morever, the implement’s designs are strikingly different from the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times. Therefore, there were surely Mayan settlements in cahla 4500 years ago.

D. Successor cultures at a given site often adopt the style of agricultural implement used by earlier inhabitants of the same site.

Dear Baby,

刚刚看了你所有的留言，真的好佩服你杀GMAT的勇气和决心。我也打算十二月考，今年暑假上的新东方，效果不错，当时的学习效率也特别高。但是自从回到自己的大学，身边没有G友，便一直提不起效率和积极性。我的时间比较充裕，大四课少，但是却总不能利用好时间。你的贴子让我感到很惭愧，也决心用最后的时间拼一拼。希望能得到你的支持和帮助，谢谢。

再向您请教一个问题：如果保持高效率的学习，特别是想GMAT这种对状态要求比较高的考试复习。

babypace

真的不好意思。其实我没法坚持计划的内容。但是还是自我安慰，只要感觉还在，做题就会好。

partime的时间非常宝贵，精力常常分配不过来。我觉得如果可能，你需要花1个月的时间全面的精力集中地对GMAT有个了解，把各个考试分类都提高到一个层次，这是个迅速成长的阶段，一定要保证两耳不闻窗外事，一心只读圣贤书的境界。在你对GMAT有个了解后，接下来是困难的提高阶段。这时候，题海不是关键的。你要保持对GMAT的把握和理解，不一定每天在题海里就是最好的把握和理解。平时上课，甚至吃饭时都要有联想，和GMAT有关的。比如经常拿个结论来分析假设。我们平时说话都是有省略的，对吧？那么省略后面的假设是什么呢？类似这样的可以当游戏练练。为了保证感觉，常常来看看别人讨论的题，常常OG带在手边。如果没有时间看别的，OG就是烂熟的东西。作文题的例子罗列可以在平时走路时坐车时想想就可以了。没事到这里来解答别人的问题，尽量用英语写啊，当是写作好了。至少练了打字和电脑上写作的熟练度。

其他没有什么了，看看N人心经里讲的，我就不重复了。关键找到适合你自己的方法。还有就是一个词“坚持”。

Betty, 最近很忙，好多考试，下周2门，还有个project今天要写完，再下周又是2门考试。接下来基本每周都是2门考试或者2个presentations要做，所以等我看完书，中场休息就过来给你翻译好吗？

Thank you babapace, I know what kind of feeling you are in. I can understand that.

I still could not feel control OG reasoning, it sounds I walk on the same place.

182. The earliest Mayan pottery found at cloha, is about 3000 years old. Recently, however, 4500-year-old stone agricultural implements were unearthed at colha. These implements resemble Mayan stone implements of a much later period, also found at colha. Moreover, the implement’s designs are strikingly different from the designs of stone implements produced by other cultures known to have inhabited the area in prehistoric times. Therefore, there were surely Mayan settlements in cahla 4500 years ago.

A.      Ceramic ware is not known to have been used by the Maya to make agricultural implements

B.       Carbon dating of corn pollen in Colha indicates that agriculture began there around 4,500 years ago.

C.      Archaeological evident indicates that some of the oldest stone implements found at Colha were used to cut away vegetation after controlled burning of trees to open areas of swampland for cultivation.

D.      Successor cultures at a given site often adopt the style of agricultural implement used by earlier inhabitants of the same site.

E.       Many religious and social institutions of the Mayan people who inhabited Colha 3,000 years ago relied on a highly developed system of agricultural symbols.

这题大概就是讲Maya人最早的陶器是在3000年左右的历史，但是在同样的Maya人居住地发现了4，500年历史的和Maya陶器一样设计的器具，而当时住在那里的其他文化群体都没有类似的器具设计，所以得出结论是：Maya人在4，500年前就住在那里了。

这个推论最大的问题是：4，500年前的器具酷似Maya文化设计产物，但是难道只有Maya文化的人是那种器具设计的发明者吗？或者说在Maya文化前，那里居住的人就已经设计了那样的器具，而Maya人是模仿前人的设计呢？

只有D说出了这一点。

这题我想很多人在逻辑板讨论过了。我想我就不在多说。你选了什么？然后我再解释，因为我读题没有发现什么不能理解的地方，所以最好针对你的疑惑，我们来讨论一下。

200. Outsourcing is the practice of obtaining from an independent supplier a product or service that a company has previously for itself. Since a company’s chief objective is to realize the highest possible year-end profits, any product or service that can be obtained from an independent supplier for less than it would cost the company to provide the product or service on its own should be outsourced.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A.     If a company decides to use independent suppliers for a product, it can generally exploit the vigorous competition arising among several firms that are interested in supplying that product.

B.     Successful outsourcing requires a company to provide its supplier with information about its products and plans that can fall into the hands of its competitors and give them a business advantage.

C.     Certain tasks, such as processing a company’s payroll, are commonly outsourced, whereas others, such as handling the company’s core business, are not.

D.    For a company to provide a product or service for itself as efficiently as an independent supplier can provide it, the managers involved need to be as expert in the area of that product or service as the people in charge of that product or service at an independent supplier are.

E.     When a company decides to use an independent supplier for a product or service, the independent supplier sometimes hires members of the company’s staff who formerly made the product or provided the service hat the independent supplier now supplies.

这题只有B是好的，其他都没有提供出有说服力的理由为什么outsourcing不是在有low cost的情况下就可以用的，因为你的公司信息会被你的对手公司知道，以至于给了你的对手公司竞争优势。

这题讲的是business现在很常见的现象。通常情况下，公司要outsourcing就是为了降低成本。因为一些独立提供product/service的公司，在某个方面会比较professional，有很大的技术或者产品优势，胜过你自己公司自己去develop一个product/service，而且自己公司通常会花更多的成本在上面，因为自己公司可能不是在这个方面很强。这样情况下，outsourcing通常会被使用。但是B里面说了个很重要的弱点，就是让对手知道了公司的情况，使他们可能获得竞争优势。

这两题基本是这样子，你如果还有问题我们可以再讨论。逻辑区的讨论已经比较详细，建议你仔细看下，其中不少NN的解释。

还有一点就是我觉得不要把每题都翻译成中文。这样对你学G不是很好。将来在B-school读书时，语言总是要过的关，不如现在考G时就好好练一下。如果逻辑的读题有问题的话，我建议你更该花力气在阅读上，阅读上去了，逻辑才有保障。

呵呵，在一定程度上会影响阅读速度。
