GRE Argument 51重新选题
写作题目
收起The following memorandum is from the business manager of Happy Pancake House restaurants.
"Butter has now been replaced by margarine in Happy Pancake House restaurants throughout the southwestern United States. Only about 2 percent of customers have complained, indicating that 98 people out of 100 are happy with the change. Furthermore, many servers have reported that a number of customers who ask for butter do not complain when they are given margarine instead. Clearly, either these customers cannot distinguish butter from margarine or they use the term 'butter' to refer to either butter or margarine. Thus, to avoid the expense of purchasing butter and to increase profitability, the Happy Pancake House should extend this cost-saving change to its restaurants in the southeast and northeast as well."

Happy Pancake House在美国西南部的餐厅用人造黄油代替了天然黄油。但是这种改变对顾客的影响非常小因为只有大约2%的顾客投诉,这说明100个人中有98人对于这种替换是乐于接受的。而且,很多服务生报告说很多仍然要了天然黄油的顾客在被给予人造黄油的时候并没有投诉。显然,这些顾客要么分不清天然黄油和人造黄油,要么是用"天然黄油"这个词汇来指天然黄油或人造黄油。
