argument 195

TOPIC: ARGUMENT195 - The following is a letter from an editor at Liber Publishing Company to the company's president.
"In recent years, Liber has unfortunately moved away from its original mission: to publish the works of regional small-town authors instead of those of big-city authors. Just last year, 90 percent of the novels we published were written by authors who maintain a residence in a big city. Although this change must have been intended to increase profits, it has obviously backfired, because Liber is now in serious financial trouble. The only way to address this problem is to return to our original mission. If we return to publishing only the works of regional small-town authors, our financial troubles will soon be resolved."

for the sovlement of problems, the company should return to the original goal.
○1在大城市拥有一处住所不说明他们是大城市作家。可能有了钱在大城市买房子。
○2没有证据证明改变是为了增加利润。时间顺序不决定因果关系。现在处于财政问题之中未必是改变造成的，未必改变没有出一份力。
○3没有证据证明回到过去能够解决问题。采取其他措施。增加revenue减少cost。

"In recent years, Liber has unfortunately moved away from its original mission: to publish the works of regional small-town authors instead of those of big-city authors. Just last year, 90 percent of the novels we published were written by authors who maintain a residence in a big city. Although this change must have been intended to increase profits, it has obviously backfired(事与愿违), because Liber is now in serious financial trouble.

（1）90%的作品出自the author who maintain a residence in a big city并不代表他们不是regional small-town authors. 因为有这种可能性，即使他们居住在大城市，但是他们的作品无论从题材上、风格上都仍然属于regional small-town authors.
(2)即使承认Liber has unfortunately moved away from its original mission, 也没有证据表明financial trouble 和此有关。
（3）没有一句说明 如果 return to publishing only the works of regional small-town authors,就可以解决财务问题。 并且，作者也没有给出当初nascent stage，只出版the works of regional small-town authors时的财务状况。
（4）作为一个出版社，应该把更多的注意力放在作品本身的质量以及读者的评价上，不应该只关注作者。
