Business Consultant: Some corporations shun the use of executive titles because they fear that the use of titles indicating position in the corporation tends to inhibit communication up and down the corporate hierarchy. Since an executive who uses a title is treated with more respect by outsiders, however, use of a title can facilitate an executive's dealings with external businesses. Clearly, corporations should adopt the compromise of encouraging their executives to use their corporate titles externally but not internally, since even if it is widely known that the corporation's executives use titles outside their organization, this knowledge does not by itself inhibit communication within the corporation.
In the consultant's reasoning, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles?
The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second presents a drawback to that strategy.
The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second is a consideration raised to call into question the effectiveness of that strategy as a means of achieving that goal.
The first describes a strategy that has been adopted to avoid a certain problem; the second is a consideration the consultant raises in questioning the significance of that problem.
The first is part of an explanation that the consultant offers for a certain phenomenon; the second is that phenomenon.
The first describes a policy for which the consultant seeks to provide a justification; the second is a consideration the consultant raises as part of that justification.
欸好像有点懂了,第二个黑体是说有title的优点是什么,也就是对于第一个黑体那个strategy提出了其弊端,但B哪里错了还不是太明白,翻译不通...
第一个黑体的目标是消除沟通障碍,
第二个黑体没有对第一个黑体达到该目标的效力提出质疑,只是提出了一个负面效果。
B的意思是说:
第一句描述了 为回避某种问题而采用的策略(免用title,为了避免 由于等级分明而阻碍内部沟通 ),而第二句话 质疑该策略能不能有效达到回避那种问题出现的效用。(就是说,即使不显摆title, 也达不到那种目的,依然回避不了阻碍内部沟通,等级森严的情况)
所以,B对第二句话的陈述,和题目内容明显有差异。
