ARGUMENT提纲

ARGUMENT 209

【题目】：The following recommendation was made by the Human Resources Manager to the board of directors of the Fancy Toy Company. “In the last three quarters of this year, under the leadership of our president, Pat Salvo, our profits have fallen considerably. Thus, we should ask for her resignation in return for a generous severance package. In Pat's place, we should appoint Rosa Winnings. Rosa is currently president of Starlight Jewelry, a company whose profits have increased dramatically over the past several years. Although we will have to pay Rosa twice the salary that Pat has been receiving, it will be well worth it because we can soon expect our profits to increase considerably."

【翻译】：在今年的过去三个季度里，在我们总裁Pat Salvo的领导下，利润显著下降。因此，我们应该给予她优厚的补偿并要求她辞职。我们应该任命Rosa Winnings来代替她的职位。Rosa当前是Starlight Jewelry的总裁，这家公司的利润在过去几年中显著增长。尽管我们要付给Rosa两倍于我们付给Pat的工资，但这将是值得的因为我们马上可以看到利润的显著增长。

【提纲】：
1、
作者没有提供Rosa现在公职的这家公司与Pat就职的公司这两家公司在业务上有无相似之处，如果没有相似之处，那么Rosa来也不能挽回利润下降的局面，作者没有提供有利的这句说明这一点。
2、
作者没有说明公司利润下滑的原因，有可能不是因为Pat的管理导致的利润下滑，所以要求Pat辞职是毫无根据的
3、
付给Rosa两倍的工资是没有根据的，也有可能Rosa并不能给公司带来利润的增长，所以，这一举措并不一定是值得的。

ARGEMENT 14

【题目】：The following appeared in a memo from the owner of Green Thumb Gardening Center, a small business serving a suburban town. “There is evidence that consumers are becoming more and more interested in growing their own vegetables. A national survey conducted last month indicated that many consumers were dissatisfied with the quality of fresh vegetables available in supermarkets. And locally, the gardening magazine GreatGardens has sold out at the Village News stand three months in a row. Thus, we at Green Thumb Gardening Center can increase our profits by greatly expanding the variety of vegetable seeds we stock for gardeners this coming spring."

【翻译】：有证据表明消费者对于自己种植蔬菜越来越感兴趣。上个月举行的一项国家调查显示很多消费者对于超市上供应的新鲜蔬菜的质量不满意。在本地园艺杂志《大花园》在“Village News”报亭连续三个月售罄。因此，我们Green Thumb Gardening Center可以通过大量增加今春为园艺爱好者准备的蔬菜种子的种类而增加盈利。

【提纲】
1、
作者没有提供任何证据表明园艺爱好者会购买他们准备的种子。因为消费者对超市蔬菜质量的不满并不一定会导致他们自己买种子种蔬菜。还有是这项调查是国家范围内的调查，并不一定适用于国内的所有地区，也许该地区的蔬菜质量很好，消费者十分满意蔬菜的质量
2、
园艺杂志的热卖与蔬菜种子的售出二者之间没有任何关系。杂志的内容、目的都不清楚，可能与蔬菜种子没有一点关联。
3、
作者没有提供任何数据表明他的这项措施会为公司带来利润，没有任何的有关成本、利润等数据，所以，作者的结论太武断。

ARGEMENT 237

【题目】：The following appeared as part of an article in a local Beauville newspaper. “According to a government report, last year the city of Dillton reduced its corporate tax rate by 15 percent; at the same time, it began offering relocation grants and favorable rates on city utilities to any company that would relocate to Dillton. Within 18 months, two manufacturing companies moved to Dillton, where they employ a total of 300 people. Therefore, the fastest way for Beauville to stimulate economic development and hence reduce unemployment is to provide tax incentives and other financial inducements that encourage private companies to relocate here."

【翻译】：根据一项政府报告，去年Dillton市把它的营业税率降低了15%；同时，该市给予迁移至Dillton的公司一定的搬迁费和相应城市设施使用费的优惠。在18个月内，两家生产商搬迁到了Dillton，他们在那里一共雇佣了300名工人。因此，Beauville市刺激经济发展从而降低失业率最快的方法就是提供税率以及其他经济上的优惠来鼓励私有企业搬迁到本地。

【提纲】：
1、
两个地方经济发展状况和地理位置等因素都不相同，同一种方法不能运用到两个地方上，所以作者的结论没有可信度
2、
作者没有说明那两家公司来D市的原因，有可能不是因为低税率而来的，有可能是看上了D市的其他特点，所以，降低税率不一定会有效果
3、
作者制定的措施的目标是吸引私营企业，但是D市吸引来的两家企业没有说明是私营企业还是别的形式的企业，所以，作者的举措不移地过会达到预期的效果
