233.The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of a company that builds shopping malls throughout the country.
"The surface of a section of Route 101, paved two years ago by McAdam Road Builders, is now badly cracked and marred by dangerous potholes. In another part of the state, a section of Route 66, paved by Appian Roadways more than four years ago, is still in good condition. Appian Roadways has recently purchased state-of-the-art paving machinery, and it has hired a new quality-control manager. Because of its superior work and commitment to quality, we should contract with Appian Roadways rather than McAdam Road Builders to construct the access roads for all our new shopping malls."
两年前由McAdam筑路公司修筑的101公路的一段,表面现已严重开裂,并存在危险的坑洼。在同一州的另一个地区,四年多以前由Appian筑路公司修筑的66公路的一段现在依然状况良好。Appian公司最近购买了最先进的筑路机械,并雇佣了一名新的质量监控经理。由于Appian公司更优秀的工作和质量保证,我们应该和他们而不是McAdam公司签订合同修筑我们新的商业街前面的通道。
