※ 引述《filley (我要改变...)》之铭言： : Newspaper editorial: : In an attempt to reduce the crime rate, the governor is getting tough on : criminals and making prison conditions harsher. Part of this effort has been : to deny inmates the access they formerly had to college-level courses. : However, this action is clearly counter to the governor’s ultimate goal, : since after being released form prison, inmates who had taken such courses : committed far fewer crimes overall than other inmates. : Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends? A. Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is unlikely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed. C. The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were not already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released. 原文看起来没问题，所以通常是去not反驳 结论是：接受课程的远比其他没接受课程的不易犯罪，所以整体犯罪率不会下降。 必须反驳上述结论 (A)选项中，有两个not 拿掉的是 unlikely的un Not being able to take college-level courses while in prison is likely to deter anyone from a crime that he or she might otherwise have committed. 翻译：在狱中不接受大学教育的人is likely to 阻止所有人犯罪，所以还是可以 降低犯罪率，所以不接受教育也可以阻止犯罪，反驳结论。 其实这边有个重点，A选项是deter "anyone" from a crime，题目governor的政策 目的是降低整体犯罪率。 (C)选项去not後是 The group of inmates who chose to take college-level courses were already less likely than other inmates to commit crimes after being released. 翻译：选择接受大学课程的犯人，原本就比没受大学教育的罪犯不易犯罪在放出来後。 看起来像是无关，也没有反驳。 而且只针对chose to take的犯人来说明，有可能会造成归纳错误。 这边的already不好翻，只能意会了。不过看了一看，觉得这个字影响也蛮大的。 open discuss~ --
