[問題]og 103

103. The technological conservatism of bicycle manufacturers is a reflection of the kinds of demand they are
trying to meet. The only cyclists seriously interested in innovation and willing to pay for it are bicycle racers.
Therefore, innovation in bicycle technology is limited by what authorities will accept as standard for purpose of
competition in bicycle races.
Which of the following is an assumption made in drawing the conclusion above?
(A) The market for cheap, traditional bicycles cannot expand unless the market for high-performance
competition bicycles expands.
(B) High-performance bicycles are likely to be improved more as a result of technological innovations
developed in small workshops than as a result of technological innovations developed in major
manufacturing concerns.
(C) Bicycle racers do not generate a strong demand for innovations that fall outside what is officially recognized
as standard for purposes of competition.
(D) The technological conservatism of bicycle manufacturers results primarily from their desire to manufacture
a product that can be sold without being altered to suit different national markets.
(E) The authorities who set standards for high-performance bicycle racing do not keep informed about
innovative bicycle design.

答案C 一直看不懂c在講什麼 我英文實在太弱 哪位好人幫我翻譯一下選項c

原文
自行車在技術革新上的保守體現了其製造商所針對的需求. 騎自行車的人中, 只有賽車手才對技術革新感興趣並願意pay for it. 因此,自行車技術上的革新僅限於那些權威(指racer)所接受的可以用於比賽的標準.

問題，找假設

嘗試推論，原文說，只有賽車手對技術創新有興趣，那麼自行車的技術革新受限於比賽主辦單位所設定的標準

選項C，其實喔，腳踏車選手不會對創新有興趣，主要是為了符合比賽官方單位所設定的標準這個目的才會這麼做

(個人感想，要是AT是考中文該有多好)

fall outside 在這裡怎麼翻阿

[Behemoth]

落在...之外

bridging 題: 把 racer 跟 standard 連起來

racer 買 innovation;
if {racer 買 standard} => {innovation = standard}

我還是不太懂位啥C可以是assumption?
可以解釋一下嗎?

[pimi]

OG解釋說If racers, the only cyclists interested in innovation, created a strong demand for innovations for purposes other than official competition, then the conclusion would not follow. Therefore choice C--which asserts that racers generate no such demand--is assumed and is the best answer.

結論是說腳踏車創新是受限於為了比賽這個目的而設的標準, 而文章前面又寫說只有racers會對innovation有興趣, 為了使結論可以成立, 前提就必須說明只有比賽標準這個目的會影響創新, 所以答案很明確的說明了racer會對創新有興趣, 不是因為其他的目的(個人愛炫之類的...etc)單純是因為比賽標準吧了, 所以C是前提

了解啦
太感恩了
