But in 1991, under pressure from environments around the world, Brazil reversed course. It ended tax favors that had encouraged clearing of the Amazon rain forest, and agreed to a plan to finance new forest protection projects.
Cattle farmers, miners, and settlers have protested the move and continue to destroy the forests, although at a slower pace than before .The conflict enlarged last year when miners killed a group of Amazon Indians in order to seize their land .The government promises it will protect the region’s native people ,but questions remain as to its true level of commitment
但是在1991年，迫于世界范围内环境保护的压力，巴西改变了路线，结束了曾经鼓励砍伐亚马逊雨林的税收政策，并同意了一项新的关于资助森林保护项目的方案。

农场工人，矿工和移民们反对这项举措，并且继续毁坏森林，尽管砍伐进度慢了下来。

去年，一些矿工为了霸占土地杀害了一群亚马逊土著人，冲突因此而扩大。

政府承诺会保护当地居民，但是人们质疑这个承诺在具体实施中的兑现程度。

People who get to know the limit, I think, must have experienced what it is to overdo a thing. the
limit can be found after one has gone to extremes. if you haven’t had such experience, if you have never made mistakes, never cherished ideas of rebellion, you will never find it. if you behave too well, neither overdo anything nor make any mistakes, you will naturally fall to find what’s most suitable to you.
The offspring of American-Chinese follow the same course of life almost without exception. when they go to middle school they resent the Chinese way of education their parents have given them and look down upon their peers with the same Chinese background. during this period their parents are most nervous, quite at a loss, and then examine themselves of their failure in educating their children
我想那些明白什么叫作限度的人们应该曾经有过分地去做一件事情的经历。

当一个人走了极端之后才能发现“度”在哪里。

如果你还没有过这样的经历，如果你从来没犯过错，如果你从不喜欢叛逆，那么你将永远不会明白“度”的意义。

如果你太过于循规蹈矩，做任何事从来都不过分或者也不犯任何错误，那么你自然无法找到什么才是最适合你的。

Where is the best graffiti found ? Who creates it , and why? Reisner reports that the best graffiti is often seen in large urban areas , particularly at universities and in the restrooms of coffeehouses and smart bars . Graffiti seems to be written predominantly by men; lately, however, women have become increasingly productive . The liveliest writing is often by students, hippies, and young business people . Graffiti is produced for a variety of reasons : to express an opinion , to voice an insult ,to share a joke , to assert one’s own individuality , to protest social and political conditions .哪儿能找到最好的涂鸦？谁画的？为什么画？Reisner报道称，最好的涂鸦经常会出现在大城市地区，尤其是在大学里，或者在咖啡厅和小酒吧的洗手间里。

似乎涂鸦最初主要是由男性创作的，但近来女性涂鸦人员的作品也越来越多。

最为生动的涂鸦常常出自学生，嬉皮士，或者年轻的生意人之手。

涂鸦作品的出现有很多原因：可以是表达观念，可以是爆粗口，可以是分享笑话，也可以是宣扬个性，亦或是抗议社会和政治现状。

It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes------money, social respectability, and interesting jobs , which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money another wage-owner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy . It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It’s up to you”.
由此和其他相当多的证据可见，许多孩子仍然正在过早地离开校园，从而无法享受到高等教育所带来的利益，如金钱、社会地位和有趣的工作等。

同样显而易见的是这样的孩子辍学的原因很大程度上与他们所处的社会环境息息相关。

他们的父母常常需要多一个人挣钱来获得额外的收入；他们并不重视教育，因为他们自己的所接受教育情况可能就很一般或者不愉快。

如果他们强迫孩子离开学校就还好，不算什么了，可是他们常常会说，“由你自
己决定。

We are not now , nor have we recently been suffering from a lack of information .Think how much more information we have than Copernicus had four centuries ago. And he didn’t do anything less Earth-shattering ( pun intended) than completely change the way the universe was viewed. He didn’t do it by uncovering more information--- he did it by looking differently at information everyone else already had looked at. Edward Jenner didn’t invent preventive medicine by accumulating information; he did it by reframing the question.
不管是最近的日子，还是现在，我们都不缺乏信息。

想想看我们比四个世纪前的哥白尼多掌握多少信息。

但这并不影响他做出了比彻底改变人们对宇宙的看法还要惊天动地的壮举（双关）。

他做到这一点并不是依靠不断地发掘新的信息，而是另辟蹊径，用不同于他人的视角去看待已有的信息。

爱德华•詹纳是通过重新构架医学问题，而不是靠不断积累信息来创造预防医学的。
