Prep 2_17

17.  

At present the Hollywood Restaurant has only standard-height tables.  However, many customers come to watch the celebrities who frequent the Hollywood, and they would prefer tall tables with stools because such seating would afford a better view of the celebrities.  Moreover, diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables.  Therefore, if the Hollywood replaced some of its seating with high tables and stools, its profits would increase.

The argument is vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it gives reason to believe that it is likely that

(A) some celebrities come to the Hollywood to be seen, and so might choose to sit at the tall tables if they were available

(B) the price of meals ordered by celebrities dining at the Hollywood compensates for the longer time, if any, they spend lingering over their meals

(C) a customer of the Hollywood who would choose to sit at a tall table would be an exception to the generalization about lingering

(D) a restaurant's customers who spend less time at their meals typically order less expensive meals than those who remain at their meals longer

(E) with enough tall tables to accommodate all the Hollywood's customers interested in such seating, there would be no view except of other tall tables

正确答案为:C

为什么D不行,餐馆的人呆的时间越少,花钱吃饭的钱也越少。这不是也WEAKEN了餐馆人员想换凳子和高餐桌来减少用餐时间。

diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners

seated at standard-height tables

这句话表示,高餐桌的人呆的时间比正常桌的人少

把正常桌换成高餐桌之后,客流速度就加快了,利润就多了吧

同问这道题,C 选项中的would be an exception to the generalization about lingering的意思是他们会有例外的滞留不走? 如果这样翻译的话,那不是违反了文中说的diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners seated at standard-height tables?

非常感谢你的解答

 diners seated on stools typically do not stay as long as diners

seated at standard-height tables?是普遍情况,也就是说generalization. C的

意思就是好莱坞的客人会不会是例外。当然会和这个generalization相反
