Re: [CR. ] 請教一題
※ 引述《dothebest (momo)》之銘言：
: ※ 引述《ortho ()》之銘言：
: : Q:
: : Worldwide retail sales of home entertainment systems, which include a
: : television and an audio system, increased twenty-five percent this year
: : over last year. At the same time worldwide retail sales of new automobiles
: : declined by about the same percent. These statistics show that consumers
: : can no longer afford to purchase both types of products during the same year.
: : Which of the following, if true, would cast most serious doubt on the
: : conclusion drawn above?
: 題目:(因)comsumers can't afford two types of products(H&A)→(果) H↑,A↓
: 問weaken所以要否定原因(果是事實所以無法否定)
: : A. Fewer advertisements for new cars appeared on television during the most
: : recent year than during the previous year
: .→如果是愈來愈少的新車廣告成為他因來否定的話，此選項無說明為何新車廣告會造成新車消費下降
: : B. Consumers are spending more money on home entertainment systems than
: : on new cars.
: →支持argument
: : C. People who own home entertainment systems do not drive their automobiles
: : as often as other people
: →如果有Home entertainment systems的人本來就不常開車，那麼H和A就比較無關了
本題討論的問題是: 究竟"H和A之間的消長"有沒有關連
跟那些"買了家庭劇院組也擁有車的人" 一點關係也沒有
: : D. Prices of home entertainment systems and new cars were higher during
: : the most recent year than during the previous year.
: →此為無關選項
: : E. The reliability of automobiles this year improved significantly over last
: year.
: →因為人們對汽車的依賴度漸少，所以正好說明(他因)汽車消費比例下降的原因
^^^^??
: (E選項比A選項直接weaken)
reliability: the quality or state of being reliable
可靠性 可靠的
rely: to be dependent
依賴
dependency: the quality or state of being dependent;
依賴性 especially: the quality or state of being influenced or
determined by or subject to another
以上取自Merriam-Webster dictionary
不管是回文的人或是原PO似乎有些誤解reliability實際上的意思
(其實應該是中英字典翻得不夠貼切)
reliability翻成中文確切來說應該是"可靠度":隱含著 產品很好 所以可靠 的感覺
合理的中文翻譯: 汽車今年的可靠度顯著地增比起去年加
因為車子變得可靠了(也就是品質變好)，所以就不需要花錢買新的了。
這個答案就充分解釋"H和A之間的消長"沒有任何關聯，達到weaken的效果。
而回文中的"依賴度"在英文來說應該是dependency
而且這樣一翻譯 就變成"人們今年對汽車的依賴度比起去年顯著地增加"
既然都顯著的增加依賴度了，那還是不花錢去買，
表示大家真的就是把錢都花在電視上，然後真的沒錢買車了。
這樣一來，E看起來就不是正解了。
: : 答案是: E (請開燈)
: : 請問要怎麼思考?
