120. The following appeared in a corporate1 planning memorandum2 for a company that develops amusement parks.
“Because travel from our country to foreign countries has increased dramatically in recent years, our next project should be a World Tour theme park with replicas3 of famous foreign buildings, rides that have international themes, and refreshment4 stands serving only foods from the country represented by the nearest ride. The best location would be near our capital city, which has large percentages of international residents and of children under the age of 16. Given the advantages of this site and the growing interest in foreign countries, the World Tour theme park should be as successful as our Space Travel theme park, where attendance has increased tenfold over the past decade.”
修建休闲公园的公司的董事会计划备忘录: 
因为我国到其他国家的交通在近几年显著增加,我们的下一个目标应该是世界之旅主题公园,公园有各国著名建筑的复制品,有国际主题的旅行(ride?),点心摊位只提供离得最近的那个旅行方式所代表的国家的食物。最好的地点是靠近首都附近,那里有大量的国际居民和16岁以下的小孩。有了这个便利的地点和对国外兴趣的增长,世界交通主题公园将会和我们的参观者增长10倍的太空旅行主题公园一样成功。
1.  Increasing travel from the country the mentioned comany belongs to to foreign countries does not necessarily mean there is also a increasing interest in the amusment parks with a world tour theme.
2.  Therefore, the proposal that the amusement park should be bulit in the capital city is also groundless.
3.  Even if there is an increasing interest in the parks with a theme of world tour, it is not necessary to go to the extreme such us making the refreshment stands serve only foods from the country represented by the nearest ride.
4.  What is more, the company’s plan is based on a false analogy that the World tour theme park should be as successful as the Space travel theme park.
 
1.  Increase in travelling abroad doesn’t guarantee an increase in the interest to go the World Tour theme park.
2.  Gratuitous5 assumption: No reliable evidence can support the idea that the capital city is the best location for an amusement park.
3.  False analogy.
