6. The following appeared as part of an article in a magazine devoted1 to regional life.
Corporations should look to the city of Helios when seeking new business opportunities or a new location. Even in the recent recession, Helioss unemployment rate was lower than the regional average. It is the industrial center of the region, and historically it has provided more than its share of the regions manufacturing jobs. In addition, Helios is attempting to expand its economic base by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative2 technologies.
一份面向地方生活的雜志上的一篇文章:
企業在探尋新的商業機會或地方時應該去Helios城。甚至在近期的衰退中,Helios的失業率也比區域平均水平低,它是區域的工業中心,歷史上它提供的比它在區域制造業工作中推薦的份額中更多。而且,Helios正試圖通過吸引研究和進步改革技術的公司來擴張它的經濟基礎。
1. 作者覺得應該到該區域建廠理由是這里的失業率非常高。但卻沒給出因果關系。從常理來看這是沒道理的由于失業率高的地方可能更難雇傭到雇員從而使本錢增加。
2. 作者覺得該區域會鼓勵研發,所以應該到該區域投資。但事實上就象作者說的那樣該區域是制造業中心如何可能有不少對技術和科研非常熟練的職員。
1, 由于H區域industrial and manufacturing比較attractive,所以那里的工人非??赡苤缓线m做這種的,假如缺少可以做innovative technologies and research的工人labor pool,那樣非??赡苤率故?。
2, H的低失業率更可能成為壞處。由于譬如有less available work force。企業需要提升wage才能吸引他們。提升了cosplayT。
3, 錯誤的假設過去的成功可以代表將來。比如已經飽和的資源、過分的角逐、與可能出現的錯誤政策,都可能致使H區域的經濟不再發達。
In this argument corporations are urged to consider the city of Helios when seeking a new location or new business opportunities. To support this recommendation, the author points out that Helios is the industrial center of the region, providing most of the regions manufacturing jobs and enjoying a lower-than-average unemployment rate. Moreover, it is argued, efforts are currently underway to expand the economic base of the city by attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative technologies. This argument is problematic for two reasons.
To begin with, it is questionable4 whether the available labor3 pool in Helios could support all types of corporations. Given that Helios has attracted mainly industrial and manufacturing companies in the past, it is unlikely that the local pool of prospective5 employees would be suitable for corporations of other types. For example, the needs of research and development companies would not be met by a labor force trained in manufacturing skills. For this reason, its unlikely that Helios will be successful in its attempt to attract companies that focus or research and development of innovative technologies.
Another problem with the available work force is its size. Due to the lower than average unemployment rate in Helios, corporations that require large numbers of workers would not find Helios attractive. The fact that few persons are out of work suggests that new corporations will have to either attract new workers to Helios or pay the existing workers higher wages in order to lure6 them away from their current jobs. Neither of these alternatives seems enticing7 to companies seeking to relocate.
In conclusion, the author has not succeeded in providing compelling reasons for selecting Helios as the site for a company wishing to relocate. In fact, the reasons offered function better as reasons for not relocating to Helios. Nor has the author provided compelling reasons for companies seeking new business opportunities to choose Helios.
