Japanese firms have achieved the highest levels of manufacturing efficiency in the world automobile industry. Some observers of Japan have assumed that Japanese firms use the same manufacturing equipment and techniques as United States firms but have benefited from the unique characteristics of Japanese employees and the Japanese culture. However, if this were true, then one would expect Japanese auto plants in the United States to perform no better than factories run by United States companies. This is not the case; Japanese-run automobile plants located in the United States and staffed by local workers have demonstrated higher levels of productivity when compared with factories owned by United States companies.
Other observers link high Japanese productivity to higher levels of capital investment per worker. But a historical perspective leads to a different conclusion. When the two top Japanese automobile makers matched and then doubled United States productivity levels in the mid-sixties, capital investment per employee was comparable to that of United States firms. Furthermore, by the late seventies, the amount of fixed assets required to produce one vehicle was roughly equivalent in Japan and in the United States.
Since capital investment was not higher in Japan, it had to be other factors that led to higher productivity. A more fruitful explanation may lie with Japanese production techniques. Japanese automobile producers did not simply implement conventional processes more effectively: they made critical changes in United States procedures. For instance, the mass-production philosophy of United States automakers encouraged the production of huge lots of cars in order to utilize fully expensive, component-specific equipment and to occupy fully workers who have been trained to execute one operation efficiently. Japanese automakers chose to make small-lot production feasible by introducing several departures from United States practices, including the use of flexible equipment that could be altered easily to do several different production tasks and the training of workers in multiple jobs. Automakers could schedule the production of different components or models on single machines, thereby eliminating the need to store the buffer stocks of extra components that result when specialized equipment and workers are kept constantly active.

3.
Which of the following statements concerning the productivity levels of automakers can be inferred from the passage?
(A) Prior to the 1960’s, the productivity levels of the top Japanese automakers were exceeded by those of United States automakers.
(B) The culture of a country has a large effect on the productivity levels of its automakers.
(C) During the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, productivity levels were comparable in Japan and the United States.
(D) The greater the number of cars that are produced in a single lot, the higher a plant’s productivity level.
(E) The amount of capital investment made by automobile manufacturers in their factories determines the level of productivity.

答案給A,其他答案都沒問題,只是有關於A的部分我找到的是紅色字體的部份,可是只能推斷在1960中葉日本車廠生產力已是美國車廠的2倍,可是怎麼能推斷在1960年代前日本車廠生產力就已經超越美國車廠了呢?還是mid-sixties不是指1960年代中葉?
煩請各位高手指點一下囉 感謝 :smile

我想紅色這句有一個要特別注意的字是"match",這個字有迎頭趕上的意思,如果日本企業的productivity level一定是曾落後於美國企業,才會有後來趕上的且超前的情形。

不過如果題目從日本車廠迎頭趕上且在60年代中葉且超過美國車廠的2倍
直接推論1960年前日本車廠就超過美國車廠
似乎有點武斷(可能1960年後才趕上且50年內超過美國車廠2倍)

歹勢,現在才發現原來問題是出在davidslin兄認為答案A的意思是"1960年代前日本車廠生產力就已經超越美國車廠"
而我是認為"Japanese automakers were exceeded by (被動語氣)those of United States automakers"的意思其實是"日本車廠生產力被美國車廠超越"

希望有幫到忙囉! :smile

想請問這句我的翻譯對不對 主要是看不太懂劃線的部份

汽車製造商可以在單一機器上,依不同的零件或汽車模型來安排製程,由此降低因專業化製程及勞工不間斷工作,而儲備額外零件存貨的需要
