GMAT?ARGUMENT?POOL?2011官网最新版本全中文翻译 ? 1.?????????The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozenfoods: “Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its 25th birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.” 下面摘自一家冷冻食品处理商-奥林匹克食品提交给股东的年报： 随着时间流逝，由于机构了解了做好事情的方法进而提高了效率，处理的成本会降低。比如在彩色胶卷处理方面，3/5英寸照片的成本从1970年的5天50cent降至1984年的1天20cent。同样的规律适用于食品处理方面。由于奥林匹克食品即将庆祝它的25岁生日，我们可以指望我们长期的经验会使我们达到最小的成本和最大的利润。?

Therefore, the Apogee Company should close down its field offices and conduct all its operations from a single location. Such centralization would improve profitability by cutting costs and helping the company maintain better supervision of all employees.” 下面摘自APogee公司的商务部门的备忘录：???当Apogee将它所有的业务部门集中在一处时，它将有比现在更多的利润。因此，Apogee应该关闭它的驻外办公室并从单一场所管理它的所有部门。这样的话，集中会通过削减成本提高利润，并帮助公司更好地对所有员工进行监督。??? 所有的业务部门集中在一处时，不一定就会比现在拥有更多的利润，因为业务的集中也会产生其他的生产成本例如人员统一管理的费用。 单一场所管理它的所有部门，也有可能会降低管理的效率，集中读员工进行管理有可能会加大对员工工作的管理难度，因为大规模的集中管理中人员增加了。 ? 3.?????????The following appeared in a memorandum issued by a large city’s council on the arts: “In a recent citywide poll, 15 percent more residents said that they watch television programs about the visual arts than was the case in a
