UNIT 31. Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are that Americans live by. They have never given the matter much thought.2. Even if Americans had considered this question, they would probably, in the end, decide not to answer in terms of a definitive list of values. The reason for this decision is itself one very American value —their belief that every individual is so unique that the same list of values could never be applied to all, or even most, of their fellow citizens.3. Although Americans may think of themselves as being more varied and unpredictable than they actually are, it is significant that they think they are. Americans tend to think they have been only slightly influenced by family, church or schools. In the end, each believes, “I personally chose which values I want to live my own life by.”4. The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter an action, or hear a statement in the United States that surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed here.5. Before proceeding to the list itself, we should also point out that Americans see all of these values as very positive ones. They are not aware, for example, that the people in many Third World countries view some of these values as negative or threatening.In fact, all of these American values are judged by many of the world’s citizens as negative and undesirable. Therefore, it is not enough simply to familiarize yourself with these values. You must also, so far as possible, consider them without the negative or derogatory connotation that they might have for you, based on your own experience and cultural identity.Personal Control over the Environment6. Americans no longer believe in the power of Fate, and they have come to look at people who do as being backward, primitive, or hopelessly naive. To be called “fatalistic” is one of the worst criticisms one can receive in the American context; to an American, it means one is superstitious and lazy, unwilling to take any initiative in bringing about improvement.7. In the United States, people consider it normal and right that Man should control Nature, rather than the other way around. More specifically, people believe every single individual should have control over whatever in the environment might potentially affect him or her. 1.大多数美国人在谈起其赖以生存的价值观时会感到力不从心。

1.Unit OneA Question of Degree对学位的质疑Perhaps we should rethink an idea fast becoming an undisputed premise of American life that a college degree is necessary(and perhaps even a sufficient) precondition for success.I do not wish to quarrel with the assumptions made about the benefits of orthodox education.I want only to expose its false god:the four-year, all-purpose,degree-granting college,aimed at the so-called college-age population and by now almost universally accepted as the stepping-stone to“meaningful”and “better”jobs.What is wrong with the current college/work cycle can be seen in the following anomalies:we are selling college to the youth of American as a take-off pad for the material good life.College is literally advertised and packaged as a means for getting more money through“better”jobs at the same time that Harvard graduates are taking jobs as taxi drivers.This situation is perversion of the true spirit of a university,a perversion of a humane social ethic and,at bottom,a patent fraud.To take the last point first,the economy simply is not geared to guaranteeing these presumptive “better”jobs;the colleges are not geared to training for such jobs;and the ethical propriety of the entire enterprise is very questionable.We are by definition(rather than by analysis)establishing two kinds of work:work labeled“better”because it has a degree requirement tagged to it and nondegree work,which,through this logic, becomes automatically“low level”.This process is also destroying our universities.The“practical curriculum”must become paramount;the students must become servants of big business and big government.Under these conditions the university can no longer be an independent source of scientific and philosophic truth-seeking and moral criticism.Finally,and most important,we are destroying the spirit of youth by making college compulsory at adolescence,when it may be least congruent with emotional and physical needs;and we are denying college as an optional and continuing experience later in life,when it might be most congruent with intellectual and recreational needs.Let me propose an important step to reverse these trends and thus help restore freedom and dignity to both our colleges and our workplaces.We should outlaw employment discrimination based on college degrees.This would simply be another facet of our“equal-opportunity”policy and would add college degrees to sex,age, race,religion and ethnic group as inherently unfair bases for employment selection.People would,wherever possible,demonstrate their capacities on the job.Where that proved impractical,outside tests could still serve.The medical boards,bar exams,mechanical,mathematical and verbal aptitude tests might still be used by various enterprises.The burden of proof of their legitimacy,however,would remain with the using agencies.So too would the costs.Where the colleges were best equipped to impart a necessary skill they would do so,but only where it would be natural to the main thrust of a university endeavor.The need for this rethinking and for this type of legislation may best be illustrated by a case study.Joe V.is a typical liberal-arts graduate,fired by imagination art and literature.He took a job with a large New York City Bank,where he had the opportunity to enter the“assistant manager training program”.The trainees rotated among different bank departments to gain technical know-how and experience and also received classroom instruction,including some sessions on“how to write a business letter.”The program was virtually restricted to college graduates. At the end of the line,the trainees became assistant bank managers:a position consisting largely of giving simple advice to bank customers and a modest amount of supervision of employees.Joe searched for some connection between the job and the training program,on the one hand,and his college-whetted appetites and skills on the other.He found nothing.In giving Joe preference for the training program,the bank had bypassed a few enthusiastic aspirants already dedicated to a banking career and daily demonstrating their competence in closely related jobs.After questioning his superiors about the system,Joe could only conclude that the“top brass”had some very diffuse and not-too-well–researched or even well-thought-out conceptions about college men. The executives admitted that a college degree did not of itself ensure the motivation or the verbal or social skills needed.Nor were they about what skills were most desirable for their increasing diverse branches.Yet they clung to the college prerequisite.Business allows the colleges to act as recruiting,screening and training agencies for them because it saves money and time.Why colleges allow themselves to act as servicing agents may not be as apparent.One reason may be that colleges are increasingly becoming conventional bureaucracies.It is inevitable,therefore,that they should respond to the first and unchallenged law of bureaucracy:expand!The more that college’s can persuade outside institutions to restrict employment in favor of theirclientele,the stronger is the college’s hold and attraction.This rational becomes even clearer when we understand that the budgets of public universities hang on the number of students“serviced”.Seen from this perspective,then,it is perhaps easier to understand why such matters as“university independence”or“the propriety”of using the public bankroll to support enterprises that are expected to make private profits, can be dismissed.Conflict of interest is difficult to discern when the interests involved are your own.What is equally questionable is whether a college degree,as such,is proper evidence that new skills that are truly needed will be delivered.A friend who works for Manpower Training Program feels that there is a clear divide between actual job needs and college-degree requirements.One of her chief frustration is the knowledge that many persons with ability to do paraprofessional mental-health work are lost to jobs they could hold with pleasure and profit because the training program also require a two-year associate art degree.Obviously,society can and does manipulate job status.I hope that we can manipulate it in favor of the greatest number of people.More energy should be spent in trying to upgrade the dignity of all socially useful work and to eliminate the use of human beings for any work that proves to be truly destructive of the human spirit. Outlawing the use of degrees as prerequisites for virtually every job that our media portray as“better”should carry us a long step toward a healthier society.Among other things,there is far more evidence that work can make college meaningful than that college can make work meaningful.My concern about this degree/work cycle might be far less acute;however,if everyone caught up in the system were having a good time.But we seem to be generating a college population that oscillates between apathy and hostility.One of the major reasons for this joylessness in our university life is that the students see themselves as prisoners of economic necessity.They have bought the media message about better jobs,and so they do their time.But the promised land of“better”job is, on the one hand,not materializing,and on the other hand the students is by now socialized to find such“better”jobs distasteful even if they were to materialize.One of the major improvements that could result from the proposed legislation against degree requirements for employments would be a new stocktaking on the part of all our educational pulsory schools,for example,would understand that the basic skills for work and family life in our society would have to be compressed into those years of schooling.Colleges and universities,on the other hand,might be encouraged to be unrestricted,as continuous and as open as possible.They would be released from the pressures of ensuring economic survival through a practical curriculum.They might best be modeled after museums.Hours would be extensive,fees minimal,and services available to anyone ready to comply with course-by-course demands.College under these circumstances would have a clearly understood focus,which might well be the traditional one of serving as gathering place for those persons who want to search for philosophic and scientific“truths”.This proposal should help our universities rid themselves of some strange and gratuitous practices.For example,the university would no longer have to organize itself into hierarchical levels:B.A.,M.A.,PH.D.There would simply be courses of greater and lesser complexity in each of the disciplines.In this way graduate education might be more rationally understood and accepted for what it is——more education.The new freedom might also relieve colleges of the growing practice of instituting extensive“work programs,”“internships”and“independence study”programs.The very names of these enterprises are tacit admissions that the campus itself is not necessary for many genuinely educational experiences.But,along with “external degree”programs,they seem to pronounce that whatever one has learned in life by whatever diverse and interesting routes cannot be recognized as increasing one’s dignity,worth,usefulness or self-enjoyment until it is converted into degree credits.The legislation I propose would offer a more rational order of priorities.It would help recapture the genuine and variegated dignity of workplace along with the genuine and more specialized dignity of the university.It would help restore to people of all ages and inclinations a sense of their own basic worth and offer them as many roads as possible to reach Rome.Vocabulary1.What look like generous hire-purchase terms are fundamentally just encouragement to the customer to spend his very last

the main market for"mouthwashes," and if it disappeared the whole"deodorant"business would fall to the ground.中产阶级有另别于其他阶级的特征是他们一本正经的生活态度和缺乏安全感的精神状态,而不是他们的中等收入。

Unit1 My FatherI don't really know my father. He isn't easy to get on with. He's quite self-centred, and a little bit vain, I think, and in some ways quite unapproachable. The public must think he's very easy-going, but at home he keeps himself to himself.He can't have been at home much when I was a child, because I don't remember much about him. He's always been slightly out of touch with family life. His work always came first, and he was always off somewhere acting or rehearsing. He loves being asked for his autograph, he loves to be recognised. He has won several awards, and he's very proud of that. He was made a Member of the British Empire, and we had to go to Buckingham Palace to get the medal. It was incredibly boring. There were hundreds of other people getting the same awards, and you had to sit there for hours. He shows off his awards to whoever comes to the house.I went to public school, and because of my total lack of interest and non-attendance I was asked to leave. I didn't want to go there in the first place. I was taken away from all my friends. He must have been very pleased to get me into the school, but in the end it was a complete waste of money. I let him down quite badly, I suppose. I tried several jobs but I couldn't settle down in them. Then I realised that what I really wanted to do was live in the country and look after animals, so that's what I now do.As a family, we're not that close, either emotionally or geographically. We don't see much of each other these days. My father and I are totally different, like chalk and cheese. My interests have always been the country, but he's into books, music and above all, opera, which I hate. If they do come to see us, they're in completely the wrong clothes for the country-mink coats, nice little leather shoes, not exactly ideal for long walks across the fields.He was totally opposed to me getting married. He was hoping we would break up. Gerald's too humble, I suppose. He must have wanted me to marry someone famous, but I didn't, and that's all there is to it. We don't want children, but my father keeps on and on talking about wanting grandchildren. You can't make someone have children just because you want grandchildren.I never watch him on television. I'm not that interested, and anyway he usually forgets to tell me when he's on.我实在不了解我的父亲,与他相处很难。

U8 Further Reading论工作伯特兰·罗素工作会带来幸福, 还是招致不幸, 这是一个值得讨论的问题。
当然,有惹人烦恼的工作,而且过量的工作总是让人头疼的。
但是,在我看来,只要工作不超量,对大多数人来说,无所事事比最乏味的工作更让人痛苦。
工作可以分为不同类别,有的工作纯粹是为了解除烦闷,有的工作可以带来最大的乐趣,这都因工作性质和工作者的能力而异。
大部分人不得不做的大部分工作本身并没有什么意思,即便如此,此类工作仍有很大好处。
首先,这些工作占用了一天中的大量时间,因此不必为决定自己这天该干什么发愁。
如果可以自由安排自己的时间,大部分人会心中茫然,找不到什么令自己愉悦的事情去做。
并且一旦决定做某件事情,他们心里总觉得可能有别的事情会让自己更舒心。
当今的文明并未达到使人们能非常聪明地安排闲暇时间的程度,目前还很少有人能做到这一点。
除了那些有着超常创造力的人,大部分人都乐意在一天中的每个时段都有人指点自己该做什么,只要这种指点不要过分地让人不愉快。
很多闲得无聊的富人,虽然从繁忙的工作中解放了出来,然而付出的代价却是要承受难以言传的沉闷乏味,有时,他们去非洲狩猎,或者周游世界,来寻找解脱,但这种刺激是有限的,特别是当你不再年轻时。
所以更加明智的富有男人像穷人一样卖力地工作,但贵妇将大多数时间都消磨于数不清的鸡毛蒜皮的小事上,自己还以为在是在做什么惊天动地的大事。
所以人还是需要工作的,首先工作可以摒除沉闷, 因为一个人在做单调却有必要的事情时尽管会感到乏味,但这同整日无所事事的无聊相比根本算不了什么。
工作还带来另一种好处, 即当节假日到来时,会感到特别惬意。
假如一个人没有因工作过于劳累以致损耗精力,那么他在闲暇时会比一般人有更高的热情。
大部分有偿工作和一些无偿工作的第二个好处是:可以提供成功的机会以实现自己的理想。
在大部分工作中, 成功与否是以收入来衡量的。
尽管我们所处的资本社会在不断发展,这仍是不可避免的。

上unit1——TRAITS OF THE KEY PLAYERS关键员工的特征1.What exactly is a key player?A“Key Player"is aphrase that I've heard about from employers during just about every search I've conducted.I asked a client——a hiring manager involved in a recent search—to define it for me."Every company has a handful of staff in a given area of expertise that you can count on to get the job done.On my team of seven process engineers and biologists,I've got two or three whom I just couldn't live without,”he said."Key players are essential to my organization.And when we hire your company to recruit for us,we expect that you'll be going into other companies and finding just that:the staff that another manager will not want to see leave.We recruit only key players.”关键员工到底是什么?在我进行的每一次搜索中,我都会从雇主那里听到“关键员工”这个词。

我给你举一个耳热能详的例子,也许你对此便能更好地理解。
我敢说,你常常听人说,从事科学工作的人们通过归纳和演绎的方法进行工作。
从某种意义上来说,他们通过这些方式从自然界中提取出被称为自然法则的东西,而从这些自然法则中,他们又靠着自己的某些巧计提出假设和建立理论学说。
很多人认为普通人的大脑运作无法与科学从业人员的这些思维过程相提并论,只有通过特别的训练方能练就这些本领。
听了这些夸张之词,你会认为科研人员大脑的构成一定不同于其他人,然而如果你不会被那些专业术语唬住,你会发现你的想法是错误的。
你生命中的每一天,每一个小时都在运用所有这些看似令人敬畏的思维模式。
莫里哀的一个戏剧中有这样著名的一幕,作者让那个得知自己一生都在用散文讲话的主商表达难以制的喜悦。
同样,我相信当你发现你的一切行为都一直在依据归纳与演绎方法进行,一定也会喜不自禁。
或许在座的各位没有人不会在一天的时光里进行一连串复杂的推理活动,这些推理活动正如科研人员在探索自然现象的原因时所经历的那样,类型是一样的,尽管程度上有异。
一个微不足道的例子便能说明这一点。
假设你走进一家水果店,想要一只苹果,你拿起一只苹果,咬了一口,你发现是酸的,你看了看,发现苹果又硬又绿。
你拿起另一只苹果,结果这一只也是又硬又绿又酸。
店员给了你第三只苹果,在咬下去之前,你观察了一番,发现这只苹果又硬又绿,你立刻说你不要了,因为这只苹果一定就像你前面尝过的苹果一样,是酸的。

Unit One[1] 你看酒杯是半杯有酒而不是半杯空着的吗?你的眼睛是盯着炸面圈,而不是它中间的孔吗? 当研究者们仔细观察积极思维的作用时,这些陈词滥调突然间都成了科学问题。
Do you see the glass as half-full rather than half empty? Do you keep your eye upon the doughnut ,not upon the hole? Suddenly these cliches are scientific questions ,as researchers scrutinize the power of positive thinking.[2] 迅速增多的大量研究工作——迄今已有104 个研究项目,涉及大约15 000人——证明乐观的态度可以使你更快乐、更健康、更成功。
与此相反,悲观则导致无望、疾病以及失败,它与沮丧、孤独、令人苦恼的腼腆密切相关。
休斯敦莱斯大学的心理学家克雷格·A·安德森说:“如果我们能够教会人们更积极地思考,那就如同为他们注射了预防这些心理疾病的疫苗。

宾夕法尼亚大学的心理学家马丁·E·P·塞利格曼与同事彼得·舒尔曼在一项重要研究中对大都会人寿保险公司的推销员进行了调查。
他们发现,在工龄较长的推销员中,积极思考者比消极思考者要多推销37% 的保险额。
在新雇用的推销员中,乐观主义者则多销了20%。
[5] 公司受到了触动,便雇用了100 名虽未通过标准化行业测试但在态度乐观一项得分很高的人。

UNIT11. Recently, one of us had the opportunity to speak with a medical student about a research rotation that the student was planning to do. She would be working with Dr. Z, who had given her the project of writing a paper for which he had designed the protocol, collected the data, and compiled the results. The student was to do a literature search and write the first draft of the manuscript. For this she would become first author on the final publication. When concerns were raised about the proposed project, Dr. Z was shocked. "l thought I was doing her a favor," he said innocently, "and besides, I hate writing!"2. Dr. Z is perhaps a bit naive. Certainly, most researchers would know that the student's work would not merit first authorship. They would know that "gift" authorship is not an acceptable research practice. However, an earlier experience in our work makes us wonder. Several years ago, in conjunction with the grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Pott Secondary Education (FIPSE), a team of philosophers and scientists at Dartmouth College 2 ran a University Seminar series for faculty on the topic "Ethical Issues in scientific Research."At one seminar, a senior researcher (let's call him Professor R) argued a similar position to that of Dr. Z. In this case Professor R knew that "gift" authorship, authorship without a significant research contribution, was an unacceptable research practice. However, he had a reason to give authorship to his student.The student had worked for several years on a project suggested by him and the project had yielded to publishable data. Believing that he had a duty to the student to ensure a publication, Professor R had given the student some data that he himself had collected and told the student to write it up. The student had worked hard, he said, albeit on another project, and the student would do the writing. Thus, he reasoned, the authorship was not a "gift."3. These two stories point up a major reason for encouraging courses in research ethics: Good intentions do not necessarily result in ethical decisions. Both of the faculty members in the above scenarios "meant well." In both cases, the faculty members truly believed that what they were doing was morally acceptable. In the first case, Dr. Z's indefensible error was that he was unaware of the conventions of the field.In particular, he seemed blissfully oblivious to the meaning of first authorship. In the second case, Professor R was do ng what he thought best for the student without taking into consideration that moral. ty is a public system and that his actions with regard to a single student have public consequences for the practice of science as a profession.4. Well-meaning scientists, such as those just mentioned, can, with the best of intentions, make unethical decisions. In some cases, such decisions may lead individuals to become embroiled in cases of 1. 最近,我们当中的一员有机会与一名医科学生谈论她正计划要做的一个实验室轮转项目。

OSLOI remember on my first trip to Europe going alone to a movie in Copenhagen. In Denmark you are given a ticket for an assigned seat. I went into the cinema and discovered that my ticket directed me to sit beside the only other people in the place, a young couple locked in the sort of passionate embrace associated with dockside reunions at the end of long wars. I could no more have sat beside them than I could have ask to join in--it would have come to mush the same thing--so I took a place a few discreet seats away.1记得我第一次去欧洲旅行的时候,我在哥本哈根独自一人去看电影。
在丹麦,电影票是对号入座的。
(此文来自袁勇兵博客)我走进电影院,发现在我的票对应的座位旁,只有一对年轻情侣。
这对情侣如胶似漆地拥抱在一起,如同一场持久战争结束后码头上亲人的团聚。
我很不情愿坐在他们旁边,就如我绝不会要求加入他们的行为一样——这两者对我来说并没有什么不同——因此我谨慎地隔几个座位坐了下来。
People came into the cinema, consulted their ticket and filled the seats around us. By the time the film started there were about 30 of us sitting together in a tight pack in the middle of vast and otherwise empty auditorium. Two minutes into the movie, a woman laden with shoppinng made her way with difficulty down my row, stopped beside my seat and told me in a stern voice, full of glottal stops and indignation, that I was in her place. This cause much paly of flashlights among the usherettes and fretful re-examining of tickets by everyone in thevicinity until word got around that I was an American tourist and therefore unable to follow simple seating instructions and I wasescorted in some shame back to my assigned place.2人们陆续地走进影院,参照电影票找到位子,在我们周围坐了下来。

研究生英语综合教程(下)系列教材翻译参考译文[unit1-unit6]Unit 1愉悦舒适不能指引你领略人生的全部,与逆境的艰苦搏斗常常会使人生变得丰富而有意义。
幸福隐藏的另一面凯思琳•麦克高恩1飓风、房屋失火、癌症、激流漂筏失事、坠机、昏暗小巷遭歹徒袭击,没人想找上这些事儿。
但出人意料的是,很多人发现遭受这样一次痛苦的磨难最终会使他们向好的方面转变。
他们可能都会这样说:“我希望这事没发生,但因为它我变得更完美了。
”2我们都爱听人们经历苦难后发生转变的故事,可能是因为这些故事证实了一条真正的心理学上的真理,这条真理有时会湮没在无数关于灾难的报道中:在最困难的境况中,人所具有的一种内在的奋发向上的能力会迸发出来。
对那些令人极度恐慌的经历作出积极回应的并不仅限于最坚强或最勇敢的人。
实际上,大约半数与逆境抗争过的人都说他们的生活从此在某方面有了改善。
3诸如此类有关危机改变一生的发现有着可观的研究前景,这正是创伤后成长这一新学科的研究领域。
这一新兴领域已经证实了曾经被视为陈词滥调的一个真理:大难不死,意志弥坚。
创伤后压力绝不是唯一可能的结果。
在遭遇了即使最可怕的经历之后,也只有一小部分成年人会受到长期的心理折磨。
更常见的情况是,人们会恢复过来—甚至最终会成功发达.4那些经受住苦难打击的人是有关幸福悖论的生动例证:为了尽可能地过上最好的生活,我们所需要的不仅仅是愉悦的感受。
我们这个时代的人对幸福的追求已经缩小到只追求福气:一生没有烦恼,没有痛苦和困惑。
5这种对幸福的平淡定义忽略了问题的主要方面——一种富有意义的生活所带来的那种丰富、完整的愉悦。
那就是幸福背后隐藏的那种本质——是我们在明智的男男女女身上所欣赏到并渴望在我们自己生活中培育的那种不可言喻的品质。
事实证明,一些遭受苦难最多的人——他们被迫全力应付他们未曾预料到的打击,并重新思考他们生活的意义——或许对那种深刻的、给人以强烈满足感的人生经历(哲学家们过去称之为对“美好生活”的探寻)最有发言权。

论工作
伯特兰·罗素
工作会带来幸福, 还是招致不幸, 这是一个值得讨论的问题。
当然,有惹人烦恼的工作,而且过量的工作总是让人头疼的。
但是,在我看来,只要工作不超量,对大多数人来说,无所事事比最乏味的工作更让人痛苦。
工作可以分为不同类别,有的工作纯粹是为了解除烦闷,有的工作可以带来最大的乐趣,这都因工作性质和工作者的能力而异。
大部分人不得不做的大部分工作本身并没有什么意思,即便如此,此类工作仍有很大好处。
首先,这些工作占用了一天中的大量时间,因此不必为决定自己这天该干什么发愁。
如果可以自由安排自己的时间,大部分人会心中茫然,找不到什么令自己愉悦的事情去做。
并且一旦决定做某件事情,他们心里总觉得可能有别的事情会让自己更舒心。
当今的文明并未达到使人们能非常聪明地安排闲暇时间的程度,目前还很少有人能做到这一点。
除了那些有着超常创造力的人,大部分人都乐意在一天中的每个时段都有人指点自己该做什么,只要这种指点不要过分地让人不愉快。
很多闲得无聊的富人,虽然从繁忙的工作中解放了出来,然而付出的代价却是要承受难以言传的沉闷乏味,
有时,他们去非洲狩猎,或者周游世界,来寻找解脱,但这种刺激是有限的,特别是当你不再年轻时。
所以更加明智的富有男人像穷人一样卖力地工作,但贵妇将大多数时间都消磨于数不清的鸡毛蒜皮的小事上,自己还以为在是在做什么惊天动地的大事。
所以人还是需要工作的,首先工作可以摒除沉闷, 因为一个人在做单调却有必要的事情时尽管会感到乏味,但这同整日无所事事的无聊相比根本算不了什么。
工作还带来另一种好处, 即当节假日到来时,会感到特别惬意。
假如一个人没有因工作过于劳累以致损耗精力,那么他在闲暇时会比一般人有更高的热情。
大部分有偿工作和一些无偿工作的第二个好处是:可以提供成功的机会以实现自己的理想。
在大部分工作中, 成功与否是以收入来衡量的。
尽管我们所处的资本社会在不断发展,这仍是不可避免的。
只有在衡量最好的工作时, 人们才不会套用这个合乎常情的标准了。
人们渴望增加收入, 渴望成功, 也渴望得到高收入所能带来的舒适享受。
不管工作多么无聊,只要它能够树立声望,不管是举世闻名,还是仅在自己小圈子里,人们都愿意忍受。
从长远来看,锲而不舍是幸福的最主要因素之一,而大多数人是通过工作获得幸福的。
就这方面来讲,那些终日忙碌于家务事的女人比男人更不幸,也比那些在外面工作的女人不幸,因为家庭主妇没有工资,不能自我完善,丈夫又不把她的辛苦当成一回事(她所做的一切他都不放在眼里)。
他并不因为她做家务活而欣赏她,而是因为其他的品质。
当然,那些生活宽裕、把房子和花园装扮得很漂亮、受邻人艳羡的女人就不同了。
但这类女人数量相对来说太少。
对于大多数人来说,家务活所能带来的成就感是不能与男人和职业女性所做的工作带来的成就感同日而语的。
大多数工作都能够消磨时光,能够提供实现抱负的途经。
这足以使一个干沉闷工作的人比无所事事的人更有成就感。
但是,做有意思的工作比纯粹解除烦恼的工作所提供的满意度要大得多。
按照有意思的程度, 工作可以分成不同类别,小到略有趣味的工作,大到那些足以使一位伟人投入全部精力的工作。
下面我将分别说明。
使工作变得有趣的因素主要有两个:一、技能的运用;二、工作的建设性。
任何人在掌握特殊技能后都渴望将其加以运用,直到技能变得平淡无奇,或者他不能再进一步提高自己为止。
这种行为动机其实早在孩童时代就有了:一个男孩学会手足倒立后会很不愿意用脚站立。
做大量的工作带来的愉悦感,如同技巧类游戏带来的一样。
律师或政治家工作时感受到的愉悦同打桥牌是一样的,甚至还要愉快。
当然,这不仅仅是因为技巧的运用,还因为同对手斗智斗勇,并打败对手。
即使在没有竞争的情况下,做一些高难度工作也能令人愉悦。
一个人如能够做飞行特技,他会冒生命危险以获取那种愉悦感。
我可以想象,一位医术高明的外科医生,在做复杂精密的手术时会获得极大满足感,尽管许多情况下他做的工作很累人。
做大量低层次工作也会获得同样的满足感,尽管没有那么强烈。
如果所需技能并非一成不变并有很大的提高余地,那么所有技巧性工作都能带来愉悦。
但如果没有了这两个条件,并且工作者已经把技能发挥到最大限度,那么工作就不再有意思了。
一个三英里跑运动员如果已经过了能够打破自己最高纪录的年龄,就很能再从中发现乐趣。
幸运的是,相当多的工作在新情况下都需要新的技能,因此从业者能继续提高自己,直到他进入中年。
在一些技能性工作中,比如政治,从业者似乎在六十岁到七十岁时才进入事业的黄金时期,原因是此类职业需要人的广泛阅历。
因此,成功的政治家在七十岁时比同年龄的其他人都更加幸福。
唯一能与他们相比的是大公司的老板。
然而,最好的工作还包含另一要素,即工作的建设性,它比技能的运用,更能带来幸福感。
一些工作(当然并非大部分)完成后会留下纪念碑式的成果。
我们可用以下标准来区分建设性工作和破坏工作:
建设性工作的初始状态相对来说是没有规律的,而完成后就达到了预定目的。
破坏性工作恰好相反:初始状态带有目的性,完工后没有规律,也就是说,破坏者最终要达到的目的不是预先设计好的的结果。
这个标准应用于最如实最明显的个例是:建造和破坏建筑物。
建设一栋大楼时是在执行预先制定的计划,而破坏一栋大楼时则并没有计划好大楼倒塌后废料该堆放在什么位置。
当然在很多情况下,破坏工作是前期准备工作,为随后的建设工作做准备,在此情况下,破坏就是整个建设工作的一部分。
但是很常见的情况是,一个人工作的目的只是为了破坏,根本不考虑随后的建设工作。
但他常把这一点隐藏起来,自认为是在清除旧物,以便从头新建。
如果他刻意伪装,我们一般能够轻易戳穿,即问他计划在破坏后如何进行重建工作。
对这个问题他会含糊应对,毫无热情,而对于初期破坏阶段他则描述精确,充满激情。
这种情况可见于许多革命者、军国主义者和暴力拥护者。
他们被心中的仇恨所驱使,并且通常自己感觉不到:他们的真实目的是破坏自己所憎恨的东西,而对于破坏之后该怎样做则漠不关心。
当然我不能否认,从事破坏性工作同从事建设性工作一样也带来快意,
这是一种更残酷的快意,有时还更强烈,但这种满足感不够强烈持久,因为破坏工作结束后,获得的满足感很少。
你杀死了自己的敌人,他死后你的工作也就结束了,你从胜利中获得的满足感很快就消失了。
但另一方面,建设性工作完成后的思考却是令人愉悦的,而且这种工作永远不会完满到再无事可做的地步。
目的达到后的满足感把人从一个成功引到下一个成功,而且永远不会陷入死胡同。
从这个意义上讲,建设能比破坏带来更大的快乐。
或者这样说更恰当:喜好建设的人从建设中得到的乐趣,要比热衷于破坏的人从破坏中得到的满足要多,因为一旦你心中充满仇恨,就会比其他人更难从建设性工作中得到乐趣。
