　　The total sales have increased by 20 percent since XXX added a pharmacy section to the grocery store. 這是因?yàn)樘峁┝薿ne-stop shopping. 所以建議在接下來(lái)的幾十年多建一些別的鋪，有clothes department、restaurant、還有什么shop.

　　原題：The following is part of a business plan created by the management of the Megamart grocery store:

　　“Our total sales have increased this year by 20 percent since we added a pharmacy section to our grocery store. Clearly, the customer’s main concern is the convenience afforded by one-stop shopping. The surest way to increase our profits over the next couple of years, therore, is to add a clothing department along with an automotive supplies and repair shop. We should also plan to continue adding new departments and services, such as a restaurant and a garden shop, in subsequent years. Being the only store in the area that offers such a range of services will give us a competitive advantage over other local stores.”

　　是一個(gè)百貨 做調(diào)查 加了一個(gè) phmancy銷量提升20% 所以得出結(jié)論 顧客更看重購(gòu)物的方便性，所以應(yīng)該 。。。 然后應(yīng)該 增加new department 以增加 competitive advantage

　　[v2] 一個(gè)grocery shop去年增加了pharmacy section就導(dǎo)致了sales increase20%，所以一個(gè)人就說(shuō)customers like one-stop shopping。 因此，要增加profit就要增加repair 還有一個(gè)什么部門(mén)(不記得了)，還有什么什么兩個(gè)部門(mén)。。。

　　[v3] The total sales increased 20% after adding a pharmacy totheir grocery store. Because the customers like convenience of one-stopshopping, the manager thinks they should put clothing department to a hairsalon or restaurant…..

　　提供觀點(diǎn)：

　　1、時(shí)間關(guān)系不能推出因果關(guān)系。僅因藥品專柜開(kāi)在銷售額增加前，就認(rèn)為總體銷售額增加時(shí)其結(jié)果，是錯(cuò)誤的

　　2、錯(cuò)誤類比。即使銷售額增加是由藥品專柜開(kāi)設(shè)引起，也不代表開(kāi)設(shè)其他專柜能增加銷售額(顧客不一定更關(guān)注一條龍購(gòu)物的便利)

　　3、增加銷售額未必增加利潤(rùn)，增加服務(wù)也要增加成本

　　北美范文：

　　The management of the Megamart grocery store concludes that adding new departments and services is the surest way to increase profits over the next couple of years. They are led to this conclusion because of a 20 percent increase in total sates, realized after the addition of a pharmacy section to the grocery store. On the basis of this experience, they concluded that the convenience of one-stop shopping was the main concern of their customers. The management’s argument is faulty in several respects.

　　In the first place, the management assumes that the increase in total sales was due to the addition of the pharmacy section. However, the only evidence offered to support this conclusion is the fact that the addition of the pharmacy preceded the increase in sales. But the mere fact that the pharmacy section was added bore the increase occurred is insufficient grounds to conclude that it was responsible for the increase. Many other factors could bring about this same result. Lacking a detailed analysis of the source of the sales increase, it would be sheer folly to attribute the increase to the addition of the pharmacy section.

　　In the second place, even if it were the case that the increase in total sales was due to the addition of the pharmacy section, this fact alone is insufficient to support the claim that adding additional departments will increase sales even further. It is quite possible that the addition of the pharmacy section increased sales simply because there was no other pharmacy in the vicinity. The additional proposed departments and services, on the other hand, might be well represented in the area and their addition might have no impact whatsoever on the profits of the store. In other words, there may be relevant differences between the pharmacy section and the additional proposed sections that preclude them from having a similar fect on the sales of the store.

　　In conclusion, the management’s argument is not well-reasoned. To strengthen the conclusion, the management must provide additional evidence linking the addition of the pharmacy section to the increase in total sales. It must also show that there are no exceptional reasons for the sales increase due to the pharmacy section that would not apply to the other proposed additions.

　　24：建議居民投資房產(chǎn)。因?yàn)檫^(guò)去5年房子的均價(jià)漲了一倍，而股票均價(jià)則是不斷跌。因此，居民投資房產(chǎn)會(huì)比投資股票掙得多。此外，投資房產(chǎn)還能一邊享受，一邊掙錢(qián)(房?jī)r(jià)在漲)，而投資股票則不會(huì)contribute to quality of live.因此，居民都應(yīng)該投資買(mǎi)房。

　　25. 本月機(jī)經(jīng)3次

　　last year Apex manufacturing bought home computers and paid to telephone connections for its managers so that managers could get access to company file data and did additional work after normal business hours. And the productivity of APEX increased by 15%. 所以作者建議other companies也應(yīng)該為員工在家里提供access to company resource，這樣可以提高productivity以及increase profit.

　　原題：The following appeared as part of an article in a computer magazine.

　　”A year ago Apex Manufacturing bought its managers computers for their homes and paid for telephone connections so that the managers could access Apex computers and data files from home after normal business hours. Since last year, productivity at Apex has increased by 15 percent. Other companies can learn from the success at Apex: given home computers and access to company resources, employees will work additional hours at home and thereby increase company profits.”

　　一年前Apex制造公司給它的經(jīng)理們?cè)诩屹I(mǎi)了電腦，并支付電話費(fèi)，這樣他們就可以在工作時(shí)間以外從家里連接到Apex的電腦和數(shù)據(jù)文件。從去年開(kāi)始，Apex的生產(chǎn)能力增長(zhǎng)了15%。其他公司可以借鑒Apex的成功，提供家用電腦和到公司資源的鏈接，雇員會(huì)在家里加班并提高公司利潤(rùn)。

　　思路分析：

　　Notice that only managers were bought computers by Apex, whose productivity indeed rose 15 percent as the result. It is different from the assumption made in the article, which stated that if all employees were brought computers, they would work extra hours at home. Managers ≠ all employees

　　A. This argument suffers from a fallacy of post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

　　B. Next, the author fails to provide any evidence that installing home computers for managers really led to the increase of Apex’s productivity.

　　思路參考：

　　1 home access 和increase productivity因果關(guān)系錯(cuò)誤

　　2 就算有關(guān)系，productity增加也不代表profits會(huì)增加

　　3 就算以上都對(duì)，用去年來(lái)推今后也是錯(cuò)的

　　4 hasty generalization。有兩個(gè)，一是把a(bǔ)pex推廣到所有公司，二是把managers推廣到了所有employees

　　北美范文

　　In this article the author attributes Apex Manufacturing’s 15 percent increase in productivity over the past year to its decision to equip its manager with computers and paid telephone connections for their homes so that they would access company computers and files from home after normal business hours. On the basis of Apex’s experience the author recommends that other companies follow Apex’s example and provide computers and access to company resources to their employees. The author believes that such a policy would increase productivity and profits for other companies, just as it did for Apex. The author’s line of reasoning is questionable for several reasons.

　　First, the author assumes that Apex’s increase in productivity is due to its equipping its managers with home computers and access to company resources. However, the only evidence offered in support of this claim is the fact that Apex’s increase in productivity occurred after the home computers and after-hours access was provided. Unfortunately, this evidence is insufficient to establish the causal claim in question. While temporal precedence is one of the conditions required to establish a causal relationship between two events, by itself it is not a sufficient condition. Consequently, it is possible that Apex’s increase in productivity is not related to its decision to equip its managers with computers and after-hours access in the fashion required by the author’s argument.

　　Second, the author assumes that Apex and other companies are sufficiently similar to warrant a conclusion based on an analogy between them. Even if we accept the view that Apex’s increase in productivity was brought about by its policy of enabling its managers to work from home, differences between Apex and other companies could nullify this result. Lacking detailed information about Apex and the other companies in question it is difficult to assess the author’s conclusion.

　　In conclusion, the author’s argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to provide additional evidence for the claim that Apex’s decision to provide its managers with home computers and access to company resources was responsible for its increase in productivity. Furthermore, it would be necessary to show that Apex and other companies are sufficiently similar to justify the analogy between them.
