argument98 恳请指教
The following appeared in a memo from the director of a large group of hospitals.
'In a laboratory study of liquid antibacterial hand soaps, a concentrated solution of Nadasept killed 40 percent more bacteria than the liquid hand soaps currently used in our hospitals. During a subsequent test of Nadasept at our hospital in Saluda, that hospital reported significantly fewer cases of patient infection than did any of the other hospitals in our group. Therefore, to prevent serious patient infections, we should supply Nadasept at all hand washing stations throughout our hospital system.'
In this argument, the arguer concludes that in order to prevent serious patient infections, all hand washing stations [in his/her hospital system,这个不能丢,丢了就扩大范围了] should supply Nadasept[对比一下原文的句子,supply的主语是we,不是stations,改写的不好]. Although the arguer points out two seemingly convincing evidences[这个词是不可数的,不能用two也不能用复数], they are in fact not convincing[重复用词].
First of all, the arguer concludes the conclusion[draw a conclusion] partly based on a study that a concentrated solution of Nadasept killed 40 percent more bacteria than the liquid hand soaps current used in their hospital. However, the detail of the study is vague and unconvincing. As we know, only at the suitable temperature and certain concentration, can chemical products have the best effect. We cannot rule out the possibility that the study is conducted at a very high temperate. However[又转折?], at normal temperature Nadasept killed[might (be able to) kill] the same bacterial[这是说同种的,不是说同数量的] with[as] the liquid hand soaps or even less bacterial. What ‘s[不要用缩写] more, we cannot also[either] rule other possibilities that non-concentrated solution of Nadasept is less effective than the soap now used[这里只说了一个possibility,如何与前面的复数相对应?]. Both factors should be considered before the arguer makes a sound decision.[攻击study有效性,注意到laboratory了么,也可以作为攻击的点。你攻击的浓度问题,似乎说明不了N是否真的有效,因为后面也没有提到使用N的时候的浓度问题。]
In addition, this argument is wakened by the fact that the arguer fails to consider other factors that[连续的同位语从句,挺别扭的] could cause the fewer patient infection in Saluda. Saluda may be the smallest hospital and has the least patients. Then it is no strange that it will have less patient infection than other hospitals that have more patients. Also the arguer does not point out the sort of Saluda. It is highly possible that Saluda is not a synthetic hospital but specializes in psychological disease[进一步说明这些病传染可能性很小就更好了], while other hospitals are all synthetic ones and have many kinds of patients[说明有传染性疾病病人就更好了]. Even if Saluda is the same kind hospital as others, the fewer cases of patient infection may due to its physicians’ higher level than that of other hospitals as well as its nurses’ much more patience than that of others.[没有总结。他因找的还是不错的,感觉规模小的那个可以简略一点,因为我个人感觉更要的他因还有卫生水平,其他消毒设施的使用等。医院类型的他因找得很好,要是能写的再精炼而透彻点,就更好了。]
Finally, the arguer commits a false of hasty generalization. Granted that Nadasept do be [这种强调……我不太拿得准对不对。不过即便是对的,是不是也应是does?] more effective than the soap used and decrease the patient infection, whether it can be used in all hand stations and prevent serious infection is open to doubt. First, it is highly possible that the price of Nadasept is much more expensive than that of the soap now used[这里说到价格,那么实际反驳的是建议可行性,前面总气的句子就说得不太好。不是表示N自身能否被supplied,不应说whether N can…]. And if it is used in all hand stations, their hospitals may not afford such money[afford it][这个句子写得不够好,应当说明如果很贵则支付不起]. Second, there is no evidence to prove that Nadasept can prevent serious infection. It is highly possible that they can only prevent slight infection[写的稍微简略了一点,把整段开头的套话减少点,这里增加点]. Last but not least, whether this soap has any side effect is not pointed out. Maybe using it, some people’s skin will be injured[后两点应该和第一点互换位置,在N的确有效的前提下在讨论价格问题。]. [没有总结]
In conclusion, the arguer must resurvey the detail[ed] information about two tests[two tests?哪里来的?] and provide enough evidences[单数] to prove the effectiveness of Nadasept in killing bacteria, and the possibility that it can [被动]apply [be applied to] all the hand stations, then they can apply Nadasept universally in their hospitals.[最后两个半句写的重复而罗嗦。]
[整体而言,是一篇不错的Argument。细节上还有一些需要改进的地方,逻辑上还是比较清楚的。也希望多参加互改:)
