Argument228 The following appeared in a newsletter from a political organization.
"In order to promote economic growth in the city, city residents should vote 'yes' on the state government's proposal to build a new expressway linking the outlying suburbs directly to the city center. A direct link to the city center will enable downtown businesses to receive deliveries more frequently, so that downtown retailers will no longer run out of stock and city manufacturers will not be affected by shortages of materials. Booming businesses will attract qualified workers from all over the state, workers who will be able to take advantage of the new expressway to commute to work in our city. In addition to these advantages, hundreds of workers will be employed to build the expressway, further stimulating the local economy!"
翻译:
为促进本市的经济增长,市民应该对州政府关于建造直接连接郊区和市中心的新高速路的提案投赞成票。到市中心的直接连接将使中心商业区的货运更加频繁,从而中心区的零售商就不会再断货,市内的生产商也不会受到材料短缺的影响。繁荣的商业将会从整个州吸引合格的工人,工人可以利用新的高速路在本市上班。除了这些好处,上百的工人将被雇佣修筑这条道路,进一步促进地方经济。
**********************************************************
提纲
(1)零售商断货和生产商材料短缺可能另有原因,即使修了新高速路也不一定能解决。
(2)能有多少工人利用新的高速路上班值得怀疑,也许现在已经有高速路了,或者他们选择乘火车上班。此外,吸引工人还需要其它的方面,比如工资、待遇、环境。
(3)雇佣上百工人不一定能对促进地方经济起多少作用。

正文
In this argument, the arguer’s suggestion that city residents should support to build a new expressway linking the outlying suburbs directly to the city center in order to promote economic growth suffers several serious flaws as discussed in the following. He overestimates the possible function of the new expressway to the local economy without strong evidence.
First of all, the arguer is too hasty to estimate the shortages of stock and materials problems will be resolved by building the new expressway because he fails to study the genuine reason for the problems. It is possible that downtown retailers do not have enough money to stock goods because they do not have ability to compete with large supermarkets. It is also possible that the city manufacturers have some faults in their management or lack of advertisements, which result their productions have no market and then they have no money to purchase materials. If so, even a new expressway is built, the problems still cannot be solved.
Secondly, the arguer fails to realize the fact that convenient traffic is not enough to attract qualified workers. As is known to everyone, when people choose their jobs, they will consider not only the traffic matter, but also the salary, work environment, job property, and the like. Thus, even the new expressway can provide convenient traffic, it is not certain to attract qualified workers. For example, many people may be reluctant to spend more than 1 hour on the way to company because it wastes not only time but also oil fee. Moreover, it is totally likely that workers are more prefer to go to work by railway rather than driving themselves. Even if they would drive themselves, how many people on earth can utilize the expressway is suspicious.
Last but not the least, whether to employ hundreds of workers can stimulate the local economy is open to doubt. To boom the local economy, many effects are needed, such as, to change the government's policies according to the actual conditions, to enforce the propaganda, and the like. Consequently, just depending on hundreds of job opportunities to boom the economy is too exaggerated.
To sum up, the arguer is too cursory to make the suggestion without performing deep study. To make his suggestion more convincing, he has to take the facets discussed above into account, that is, to survey the real reason of the shortage problems and to prove to build a new expressway is necessary and can help the stimulation of the local economy. |
