　　Oak city’s new shopping mall

　　原题：The following editorial appeared in the Elm City paper.

　　“The construction last year of a shopping mall in downtown Oak City was a mistake. Since the mall has opened, a number of local businesses have closed, and the downtown area suffers from an acute parking shortage, and arrests for crime and vagrancy have increased in the nearby Oak City Park. Elm City should pay attention to the example of the Oak City mall and deny the application to build a shopping mall in Elm City.”

　　Elm城的报纸上的社论：

　　去年在橡树城市中心修建购物中心是个错误。由于中心开业，大量的本地企业倒闭了。而且市中心受到严重缺乏停车位的困扰。在附近的橡树城公园拘捕的罪犯和流浪汉也增加了。榆树城应该注意橡树城购物中心的例子并防止在榆树城建立购物中心。

　　参考思路

　　1作者所给出的所有问题和商场的建设都是时间上的前后关系而没有给出证据显示他们的因果关系

　　2作者只给出了不好的结果而没有给出好的影响很可能权衡利弊之后被选择的是要开这个商场

　　3这个商场的建立不应该也不能由此就否定以后所有的商场的建立

　　1To begin with, the author fails to establish the causal relationship between the shopping mall&aposs opening and the closing of local businesses.

　　2 Moreover, the author&aposs conclusion is also based on the assumption that the shopping mall has caused the increase in crime and vagrancy.

　　3 Finally, even if the shopping mall did cause the closing of local business and the increasing crime and vagrancy in Oak City, the author&aposs prediction that Elm City will suffer from the same fate as Oak City is still open to doubt.

　　参考范文

　　In this editorial the author rebukes Oak City for allowing the construction of a new downtown shopping mall. Among the problems cited by the author are the closure of local businesses, lack of parking in the downtown area, and increased crime and vagrancy in a city park near the mall. The author’s argument is problematic in several respects.

　　In the first place, the author assumes that addition of the new mall is the cause of the various problems cited. The only evidence offered to support this claim is that the construction of the mall occurred bore these problems manifested themselves. However, this evidence is insufficient to establish the claim in question. A chronological relationship is only one of the indicators of a causal relationship between two events.

　　In the second place, the author has focused only on negative fects the mall has had on the city. A more detailed analysis of the situation might reveal that the positive benits for the city far outweigh the problems on which the author focuses. For example, new jobs might have been created for the residents of Oak City, and tax revenues might have been increased for the city. Lacking a more comprehensive analysis of the impact of the mail on Oak City, it is presumptuous on the part of the author to conclude that Oak City’s decision to allow the mall to be built was incorrect.

　　In conclusion, the author’s argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to demonstrate that the construction of the mall caused the various problems mentioned. The author would also have to show that the negative fects of the project outweighed the positive fects.
