天山－９－３

Business Consultant: Some corporations shun the use of executive titles because they

fear that the use of titles indicating position in the corporation tends to inhibit

communication up and down the corporate hierarchy. Since an executive who uses a

title is treated with more respect by outsiders, however, use of a title can facilitate an

executive dealings with external businesses. The obvious compromise is for these

executives to use their corporate titles externally but not internally, since even if it is

widely known that the corporation executives use executive titles outside their

organization, this knowledge does not by itself inhibit communication within the

corporation.

In the consultant抯 reasoning, the two portions in boldface play which of the following

roles?

A. The first presents an obstacle to achieving a certain goal; the second presents a

reason for considering that goal to be undesirable.

B. The first is a consideration that has led to the adoption of a certain strategy; the

second presents a reason against adopting that strategy.

C. The first describes a concern that the consultant dismisses as insignificant; the

second is a consideration that serves as the basis for that dismissal.

D. The first is a belief for which the consultant offers support; the second is part of

that support.

E. The first is a belief against which evidence is offered; the second is part of the

evidence offered against that belief.

我无法区分ＢＣ，　Ｃ怎么翻译啊？

谢谢　ＮＮ

我觉得选B，这个选项句法简单且内容清晰

C的意思很难用中文讲清楚（我的翻译功力不够）

但是里面的问题我觉得挺明显

前半句出现了dismisses

后半句出现了dismissal

这表示原文的那两句话是同向反驳某一件事情的

但原文的意思很容易理解，那两句光头话说的是相反的两件事情

我做题时也选的C呢...

C. The first describes a concern that the consultant dismisses as insignificant; the

second is a consideration that serves as the basis for that dismissal.

第一句描述了一个咨询家认为是不重要的concern（concern理解成什么？观念？相关事务？？），第二句是一个因素说明为什么前者不重要？C是这个意思吗？我觉得C还是认为BF的两句是相反的意思陈述啊...

哪位大侠在，帮忙解释一下下，谢谢啦！！！

P.S.另外这题目最后的结论意见是什么呢？

先说公司不喜欢使用行政头衔因为bulabula...再说但使用头衔有好处...最后说妥协一下在外部用内部不用...因为虽然大家都知道头衔是组织外用的，但是组织内交流也得用...最后还是支持内部不使用行政头衔吗？？

那这题目不是转了两个弯??...理解好别扭哦...

so C说第一句话consultant认为不重要是错的咯？？

我也选了C。

B

C. The first describes a concern that the consultant dismisses as insignificant;

肯定不对，这句黑体显然是为了说明公司为何考虑不用头衔

到底选什么啊？

B? C?

NN，请搭救~~~

Lucky0506

如果选B, C错在哪里呢？

谢谢！

这题怎么没有定论就不继续讨论了呢？我的意见是B，两部分黑体字分别反映对use of titles的利弊分析，最后作者提出一个折中方案，第一部分黑体是说因为fear that。。。公司决定采用“shun the use of titles”的策略；第二部分是说use of titles 也是有好处的。这和B完全吻合。

C的错误在于1。dismiss并不是因为as insignificant；2。对第二部分黑体的分析好像不大对，并非为dismiss做基础，而是对立面。

请指正

答案为B

c的错误确实如

document.write (usercolor('24','liu977'));
</script>{codeend}
liu977所说,dismiss并不是因为as insignificant, 因为后面The obvious compromise is for these executives to use their corporate titles externally but not internally
