英语翻译
it is,of course,doubtful that the intensity of satisfaction one gains from an item can be represented precisely in cardinal rankings whereby numerical values are assigned to repressent utility .One may say that"broiled ldbster is my favorite food"or"i enjoy broiled lobster more than any other seafood or meat";
but if asked"how much do you enjoy broiled lobster?" one can scarcely reply"about 17"and expect to convey understanding.The subjective nature of the utility concept is,however,susceptible to ordinal ranking measure.In ordinal preference patterns,one only has to be able to rank alternatives---from highest to lowest,best to worst,or most satisfying to least satisfying;no attempt is made to quantify the amount by which one alternative is better [or worse]than others.
