※ 引述《pei33ho (酸)》之銘言： : A shortage of orders for Manto Aircraft’s airliners has led analysts to : predict that the manufacturer will have to lay off workers, the new order : that consolidated airlines has just made for 20 of Manto’s model TX jets : does not provide a reason for the analysts to revise their predictions, : because simultaneously with its new order, consolidated canceled its : existing order for an equal number of manto’s larger, more expensive model : Z jets. Manto Aircraft的飛機訂單短少使得分析家預測該公司必須解雇員工， 即使合併航空(consolidated airline不知道怎麼翻)剛達成的新訂單 要建造20架Manto的TX型，這並不會反轉分析家們的看法，因為同時間 合併航空取消了現有同樣數量，Manto產品中較大且較貴的Z型訂單。 : Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? : A.Manto relies more heavily on outside subcontractors to provide the labor : to manufacture the model Z than it does the model TX : B.The Manto employees who currently work to manufacture the model Z are not : proficient at manufacturing the model TX : C.Manto includes all required maintenance work for the first five years : in the price of each jet it sells : D.Manto has had to lay off workers several times within the past ten years : but has typically rehired many of the workers when it subsequently received : new orders : E.A large number of the airlines in consolidated fleet are at the beginning : of their expected service life : 1.想請問有人可幫忙對於題目英翻中嗎?看半天不是很懂.. 如上 : 2.答案為什麼是A呢?? 簡單說，題目的重點在layoff workers，你要weaken的是analysts的這個觀點 也就是說，答案選項中能推翻會layoff workers的就是正解 (A)Manto在作Z型的時候比作TX型的時候更需要外部承包商提供工人 -->也就是說，因為Z型被取消了，Manto將需要較少的外部工人， 反過來說就是較不會解雇自己的工人-->weaken成立 (B)Manto的員工現在在作Z型的如果改去作TX型將沒有利潤-->支持， 因為沒有利潤公司就可能解雇員工 (C)Manto在賣飛機的時候已經包含了未來五年中需要的維修工作 -->與題意無相關，且就算硬要解釋，也無法說明會支持或反對 (D)Manto在過去十年間曾經幾次解雇工人，但在收到新訂單的時候 總會將許多人僱回-->沒辦法肯定一定是反對，因為題目說在建 造TX型的同時也取消了Z型的訂單，還是有可能layoff (E)許多合併的機隊機齡都在它們預期服役年限的前半段 -->與題意無相關 坦白說(A)選項個人以為也很不好，因為這個weaken其實很弱，如果 不是因為(D)選項同時有支持與反對的可能，我可能會選(D) : 3.題目第一句話跟第二句話都是句子,且用逗號連接,不就成了流水句嗎? ...坦白說，這是考CR，就算題目真的是流水句有影響嗎? --
