※ 引述《filley (我要改變...)》之銘言： : 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. 原文看起來沒問題，所以通常是去not反駁 結論是：接受課程的遠比其他沒接受課程的不易犯罪，所以整體犯罪率不會下降。 必須反駁上述結論 (A)選項中，有兩個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. 翻譯：在獄中不接受大學教育的人is likely to 阻止所有人犯罪，所以還是可以 降低犯罪率，所以不接受教育也可以阻止犯罪，反駁結論。 其實這邊有個重點，A選項是deter "anyone" from a crime，題目governor的政策 目的是降低整體犯罪率。 (C)選項去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. 翻譯：選擇接受大學課程的犯人，原本就比沒受大學教育的罪犯不易犯罪在放出來後。 看起來像是無關，也沒有反駁。 而且只針對chose to take的犯人來說明，有可能會造成歸納錯誤。 這邊的already不好翻，只能意會了。不過看了一看，覺得這個字影響也蠻大的。 open discuss~ --
