The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of Hopewell.
Two years ago, the town of Ocean View built a new municipal golf course and resort hotel. During the past two years, tourism in Ocean View has increased, new businesses have opened there, and Ocean View's tax revenues have risen by 30 percent. The best way to improve Hopewell's economy, and generate additional tax revenues, is to build a golf course and resort hotel similar to those in Ocean View.
1.在Ocean View,旅客的增加,商业的兴起,税收的增加不一定是因为建造了新的高尔夫球场和度假旅馆;
2.即使Ocean View的成功来源于新的建造,并不能说明在Hopewell进行同样的建造也可以获得成功。
The pursuit for prosperity of economy and increase of tax revenues, at the first glance, by ways of having the same construction, which led the success of the same kind in another area, seems to be with reason. After all, it is more convincing of achievement ‘by standing on the shoulders of giants’. However, the conclusion that building a golf course and resort hotel accomplishes the rising of Ocean View may mask other causes of the boom, and thus, the cognizance of success in another area with the same method must be more unwarranted.
Fist of all, the arguer simply assumes that the construction brought a series of Ocean View’s successfulness in the past two years, but he does not provide any evidence that this is really the case. As we know, the increase of tourism is because there is something really attracting them and the new golf course may attract those who love to play golf, and thus the aggrandizing number of tourists in Ocean View is persuasive. The new construct, the old corrupt. The place where the course stands may take the place, for example, of a Disney World, which can attract even more tourists and the real tourism may decrease in this tradeoff. So this issue is unfounded unless the arguer gives further demonstration that the construction of golf course and resort hotel is the prominent reason for the boost of tourism which the other effects can be omitted in this situation.
With the same kind of thought the scene that new businesses have opened, and also tax revenues have risen during the past two years may not come from the new construction. Since the golf course and resort hotel may never take the enough opportunity for the businessmen to begin any economy there. And the data of tax revenue is more skeptical. Not only its rising may not come from the construction I have mentioned many times before, but also it may be only nominal which can not illustrate the augment of tax revenue. In another word, high inflation may occur and ultimately the real tax revenues decrease. By the analysis before, the fruition in three aspects, which Hopewell is so eagle to have, maybe is not the outcome of what the arguer is pointed out.
As standing on an unsteady bog, the arguer's suggestion for building the similar project in Hopewell is discredit. Assuming that the construction is really the basis of the consummation, however, I will again doubt whether it will bring the same success since a false analogy is given. Since there are great differences between the two areas, the construction of the same kind may not bring the prosperous in Hopewell and the arguer fails to take into account possible dissimilarities between them. A very representative (which is also possibly happened) condition is that the people around Hopewell may not like playing golf at all. So that the course will at last bankrupt as there is not enough people want to go there, and in this situation, the area will not benefit from the new constitution.
In sum, the evidence accomplishes little toward supporting the argument for the similar building. To further bolster the argument, the incentives of the new construction must be proved to be strong enough to pilot the success in Ocean View. The arguer must also show the resemblance between Ocean View and Hopewell which may be the key to prove same success can be achieved in Hopewell.
