LSAT-22-3-23 倒装句!?

bryan0806

23.   Arnold: I was recently denied a seat on an airline flight for which I had a confirmed reservation, because the airline had overbooked the flight. Since I was forced to fly on the next available flight, which did not depart until two hours later, I missed an important business meeting. Even though the flight on which I had a reservation was canceled at the last minute due to bad weather, the airline should still pay me compensation for denying me a seat on the flight.

Jamie: The airline is not morally obligated to pay you any compensation. Even if you had not been denied a seat on the earlier flight, you would have missed your business meeting anyway.

A principle that, if established, justifies Jamie’s response to Arnold is that an airline is morally obligated to compensate a passenger who has been denied a seat on a flight for which the passenger has confirmed reservations

(A) if the only reason the passenger is forced to take a later flight is that the airline overbooked the original flight

(B) only if there is a reason the passenger is forced to take a later flight other than the original flight’s being canceled due to bad weather

(C) only if the passenger would not have been forced to take a later flight had the airline not overbooked the original flight

(D) even if the only reason the passenger is forced to take a later flight were that the original flight is canceled due to bad weather（C）

(E) even if the passenger would still have been forced to take a later flight had the airline not overbooked the original flight

这题的选项 是倒装句吗

有人可以讲解选项的句子结构吗

阅读起来有点问题

谢谢!!

C  the airline had not overbooked the original flight only if the passenger would not have been forced to take a later flight

只有CE为倒装句，其他不是

thanks, lawyer

那颜色内的叙述应是Arnold所不符合的,我还是不太了解颜色内的意义

A principle that, if established, justifies Jamie’s response to LACE>ArnoldLACE> is that an airline is morally obligated to compensate a passenger who has been denied a seat on a flight for which the passenger has confirmed reservations only if the passenger would not have been forced to take a later flight had the airline not overbooked the original flight。

可以解释一下吗  感谢!!

航空公司应该补偿被否定掉已经预定航班的必要条件是如果航空公司没有OVERBOOK原来的航班，顾客就不需被迫坐下一航班。

bryan0806

懂了

所以就是overbook不在补偿的范围内的意思

thanks , lawyer !

bryan0806

不好意思!!

突然又想到一个问题only if the passenger would not have been forced to take a later flight had the airline not overbooked the original flight。  里面到底是(1.the airline had not overbooked the original flight)还是(2.the passenger would not have been forced to take a later flight )哪个是条件??

因为都在if里面 该如何判断??  谢谢!!

ONLY IF是只要的意思，表示它后面的全部是前面句子的必要条件。在这个必要条件中，又包含假设had the airline not overbooked the original flight，它相当于if the airline had not overbooked the original flight（倒装句）。并不是ONLY IF 中的IF。

我对这句有更深的认识   写一下我的认知  请大家指点正确与否

an airline is morally obligated to compensate a passenger who has been denied a seat on a flight for which the passenger has confirmed reservations only if the passenger would not have been forced to take a later flight had the airline not overbooked the original flight。

1. 如果航空公司没有overbooked ，且顾客没有被forced to take a later  flight 则航空公司就不需赔偿

2.如果航空公司没有overbooked ,但顾客被forced to take a later  flight 则航空公司就需赔偿

3如果航空公司 overbooked ，无论顾客有没有被forced to take a later  flight 航空公司都不需赔偿

2.如果航空公司没有overbooked ,但顾客被forced to take a later  flight 则航空公司就需赔偿

3如果航空公司 overbooked ，无论顾客有没有被forced to take a later  flight 航空公司都不需赔偿

My understanding is different

只有当：如果航空公司没有overbooked ，then顾客就不会被forced to take a later  flight的情况下，如果passenger 被denied a seat on a flight for which the passenger has confirmed reservations， airline is morally obliged to compensate the passenger. 言下之意，即使航空公司没有overbooked ， 顾客也被forced to take a later  flight的情况下， airline is not morally obliged.

绕死了！！！
