剑IV/G类TestB/2
题目:On Receipt of your deposit, Wessex Cottages will confirm your booking by telephone.
原文:When we receive your booking form and deposit, your reservation will be confirmed -- we will send you a Booking Confirmation, together with advice on how to reach your holiday cottage and the telephone number of a local contact should you require further details on the cottage before leaving home.
题目说收到存款后,会以电话的形式通知,而原文意思是收到存款后会寄出预定确认函进行告知,乍一看这两句话似乎并不对立,应该选Not Given,但如果我们仔细考察一番原文,得出的结论就完全不同了。按照原文的意思,在收到存款后,确认的唯一方式事实上就是寄发确认函,这一点能够为原文中的那个破折号所印证。原文的意思实际上排除了打电话确认这种方式成立的可能性。因此,两句话是相互对立的,故而选False。
