※ 引述《liefers (aHA)》之銘言:
: Vorland’s government is planning a nationwide ban on smoking in restaurants.
: The objection that the ban would reduce restaurants’ revenues is ill
: founded. Several towns in Vorland enacted restaurant smoking restrictions
: five years ago. Since then, the amount the government collects in restaurant
: meal taxes in those towns has increased 34 percent, on average, but only 26
: percent elsewhere in Vorlan. The amount collected in restaurant meal taxes
: closely reflects restaurants' revenues.
: Which of the following, if true, most undermines the defense of the government
: ’s plan?
: A. When the state first imposed a restaurant meal tax, opponents predicted
: that restaurants’ revenues would decline as a result, a prediction that
: proved to be correct in the short term.
: B. The tax on meals in restaurants is higher than the tax on many other goods
: and services.
: C. Over the last five years, smoking has steadily declined throughout Vorland.
: D. In many of the towns that restrict smoking in restaurants, restaurants can
: maintain separate dining areas where smoking is permitted.
: E. Over the last five years, government revenues from sales taxes have grown
: no faster in the towns with restaurant smoking restrictions than in the towns
: that have no such restrictions.
: 答案D
: 想請問高手,題目是問弱化政府的政策嗎?
: undermines the defense of the government's plan?
: 但D我的解讀是支持政府
: 因為只有說很多禁煙的地方餐廳經營的方式把吸菸區獨立出來
: 沒有說到跟營收有相關阿,如果可以延伸說:就算有禁菸罰則,
: 餐廳照樣可以經營不影響營收哩,
這邊的延伸有點問題,政府說的禁菸是全面禁菸,但他提出的例子卻是部分禁菸而已
所以,例子裡面提到的增加營收,並沒有辦法證明政府說營收會增加,我認為這兩者的
關係根本就是irrelevant。
: 這樣解釋:有禁菸不會導致收入變少←變支持政府,
: 就不對啦,請求協助
: 卡在這題很久暸@@
: 謝謝
我的理解 這題之前也卡了很久...
題意:
V 政府要全面對餐廳執行禁菸的政策
反對的人說:執行這個政策會讓所有餐廳營收下降
政府說: 執行這項政策會讓餐廳營收下降是不切實際的(ill-founded),意思就是
政府認為執行這項政策並不會影響餐廳的營收。
政府提出一個例子,五年前就有勇者餐廳先執行這項政策,而且繳給政府的稅
居然增加的居然比其他地方還要多(34% to 26% ),而繳的稅與營收成正比,因此
執行這項政策並不會造成反對人所說的結果,反而會增加餐廳的營收。
問: undermine政府的狡辯
D
先執行禁煙政策的餐廳,其實是把非吸菸區獨立出來,就是還有可以吸菸的區域
因此直接推翻了政府狡辯的例子,因為之前執行這項政策的餐廳,其實還是有吸菸區的
至於為什麼繳的稅會增加的比較多,我個人認為是因為多了非吸菸區,可以吸引更
多的消費者來消費,造成營收增加,當然這部分是我的推論。
其實只要找到能夠推翻政府提出的例子,就可以選D了。
參考一下吧
