和以前相比，我现在常常以较宽松的标准把一个人叫做好人。
——塞缪尔·约翰逊博士论人性弗兰克，莉迪亚·汉默尔1 Human nature is the basis of character, the temperament and disposition; it is that indestructible matrix upon which the character is built, and whose shape it must take and keep throughout life. This we call a person's nature.1人性是性格、气质和性情的基础，性格正是基于这种牢不可破的基质之上的，它必须以这种基质的形式存在，并将它保留终生，这种基质，我们称之为一个人的本性。
2 The basic nature of human beings does not and cannot change. It is only the surfacethat is capable of alteration, improvement and refinement; we can alter only people's customs, manners, dress and habits. A study of history reveals that the people who walked thisearth in antiquity were moved by the same fundamental forces, were swayed by the same passions, and had the same aspirations as the men and women of today. The pursuit of happiness still engrosses mankind the world over.2人类的本性不会也不能改变，只有一些表面特征才会变化、改善和进一步提升；我们可以改变人们的风格、举止、衣着和习惯。

Unit 1 The Hidden Side of Happiness1 Hurricanes, house fires, cancer, whitewater rafting accidents, plane crashes, vicious attacks in dark alleyways. Nobody asks for any of it. But to their surprise, many people find that enduring such a harrowing ordeal ultimately changes them for the better.Their refrain might go something like this: "I wish it hadn't happened, but I'm a better person for it."1飓风、房屋失火、癌症、激流漂筏失事、坠机、昏暗小巷遭遇恶性袭击事件，没有人想要遭遇其中。
但出人意料的是，很多人发现承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 We love to hear the stories of people who have been transformed by their tribulations, perhaps because they testify to a bona fide type of psychological truth, one that sometimes gets lost amid endless reports of disaster: There seems to be a built-in human capacity to flourish under the most difficult circumstances.Positive responses to profoundly disturbing experiences are not limited to the toughest or the bravest.In fact, roughly half the people who struggle with adversity say that their lives subsequently in some ways improved.2我们都爱听人们经历艰难困苦后发生转变的故事，可能是因为这些故事证实了一条真正意义的心理学上的真理，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进发出来。

Unit1TRAITS OF THE KEY PLAYERSDavid G. Jensen核心员工的特征大卫·G．詹森1 What exactly is a key player? A "Key Player" is a phrase 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 engineer 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 thatyou'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."1核心员工究竟是什么样子的?几乎每次进行调查时，我都会从雇主们那里听到―核心员工‖这个名词。

UNIT71. Several leading modern business leaders seem, surprisingly, to downplay the importance of strategy. You can make too much fuss about strategy, they imply--- you have a few clear options; just choose one and get on with it. is it really that simple?2. “Strategy is straightforward---just pick a general direction and implement like hell.”Jack Welch, for example---the chairman and CEO of the USA’s General Electric Company; the man who grow the company from a market capitalization of $27 billion to a $140 billion, making GE the largest and most valuable company in the world. he must know a thing or two about strategy. But here’s what he says: “In real life, strategy is actually very straightforward. You pick a general direction and you implement like hell.”Or Allan leighton, the man who was recruited by Archie Norman to help res cue the UK’s ailing Asda supermarket chain, and went on to build the company into one of Britain’s most successful retailers. “Strategy is important,” says Leighton, “but it is a compass, not a road map. It tells you in which direction you are heading, but the important bit is how you get there.”Or Louis Gerstner, the man who rescued IBM in the 1990’s when the struggling mainframe supplier was about to be driven into extinction by the new, smaller and more agile personal computer manufacturers. “It is extremely difficult to develop a unique strategy for a company; and if the strategy is truly different, it is probably highly risky. Execution really is the critical part of a successful strategy. Getting it done, getting it done right, getting it done better than the next person is far more important than dreaming up new visions of the future.”3. So strategy is simple. And having an ingenious new strategy is less important than carrying it out successfully. In fact it might be dangerous. It that right?Let’s look at one last quote from Mr. Welch. “When I became CEO in 1981, we launched a highly publicized initiative: be number one or number two in every market, and fix, sell or close to get there. This was not our strategy, although I’ve often heard it descri bed that way.It was a galvanising mantra to describe how we were going to do business going forward. Our strategy was much more directional. GE was going to move away from businesses that were being commoditized toward businesses that manufactured high-value technology products or sold services instead of things.”Grand strategy versus strategy4. I would argue that these CEO’s blue chip corporations are taking a slightly Olympian view of the concept of “strategy.” Let’s call what hey are talking about “grand strategy” a strategy, but in the overarching sense, like the American car industry saying that they are going to move out gas-guzzlers and into smaller, more fuel-efficient models. 1.一些领先的现代企业领导人似乎，奇怪的是，淡化战略的重要性。

“Business happens 24/7/365, which means that competition happens 24/7/365, as well,” says Haut. “one way that companies win is by getting ‘there’ faster, which means that you not only have to mobilize all of the functions that support a business to move quickly, but you have to know how to decide where ‘there’is! This creates a requirement not only for people who can act quickly, but for those who can think fast with the courage to act on their convictions. This needs to run throughout an organization and is not exclusive to management.”“一年365天，一周7天，一天24小时，生意始终在进行，那意味着一年365天，一周7天，一天24小时，竞争也同样在进行，”豪特说，“公司取胜的方法之一就是要更快地到达‘目的地’！这就是说，你不仅要把所有能支持公司快速运转的功能都调动起来，而且还得知道如何决定‘目的地’是哪里。
这样，不仅对那些行动快速的人们，也对那些思维敏捷，并有勇气按自己的想法行事的人们都提出了要求。
这需要全公司各部门的运作，而不仅仅是管理部门的工作。
”Lastly,professional status encompasses adherence to ethical standards. Most lawyers find self-worth in setting an example-both within the profession and within the larger society-as ethical actors. When management affirms the special respect due to lawyers who act with the utmost integrity and civility in all of their professional dealing, it provides yet another form of compensation.最后，职业地位包含对职业标准的遵守。

1. I’ve been spared a lot, one of the blessed of the earth, at least one of its lucky, that privileged handful of the dramatically prospering, the sort whose secrets are asked, like the hundred-year-old man.我一直活得无忧无虑，深得上帝垂爱，至少算个幸运儿，少数人才享有的尊荣富贵，我垂手得之。
就像百岁人瑞总有人讨教，我的秘诀也总有人探询。
2.And so Franklin Roosevelt found that he had, in effect, to recruit an entirely new and temporary government to be piled on top of the old one, the new government to get the tanks and airplanes built, the uniforms made, the men and women assembled and trained and shipped abroad, and the battles fought and won.富兰克林·罗斯福因此意识到他必须招募新班人马，组建临时机构来补强不能胜任的旧政府。
新成立的政府机构专门负责建造坦克飞机，定制军服，招募培训战士。
这些战士将被派往前线，去赢得一场场的战争。
3.Such is human nature in the West that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higherpay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers.许多人宁愿牺牲比较高的工资以换取成为白领工人的社会地位，这在西方倒是人之常情。

研究生英语综合教程英语原文Unit7Unit Seven ON HUMAN NATURE Frank and Lydia Hammer1 Human nature is the basis of character, the temperament and disposition; it is that indestructible matrix upon which the character is built, and whose shape it must take and keep throughout life. This we call a person's nature.2 The basic nature of human beings does not and cannot change. It is only the surface that is capable of alteration, improvement and refinement; we can alter only people's customs, manners, dress and habits. A study of history reveals that the people who walked this earth in antiquity were moved by the same fundamental forces, were swayed by the same passions, and had the same aspirations as the men and women of today. The pursuit of happiness still engrosses mankind the world over.3 Moreover no one wishes his nature to change. One may covet the position of President or King, but would not change places with them unless, it meant the continuance of his own identify. Each man sees himself as unique, and so far as he is concerned the hub of the universe, different from any other individual. Apologies are in order when Mr. Smith is mistaken for Mr. Jones.4 Every man unfolds a distinct character over which circumstances and education have only the most limited control. No two people will ever draw the same conclusions from the same experiences, but each must interpret events and fit them into the mosaic of his own life's pattern. Human nature is ever true itself, not to systems of faith or education. Each holds to the structure of the mold into which the soul was cast at the time of its individualization. The qualities born in one remain aspotentials whether they have a chance to develop or not. Under pressure, or change of interest, they can partially or wholly disappear from view, tor considerable periods of time; but nothing can permanently modify them, nothing can obliterate them.5 The constancy of human nature is proverbial, as no one believes that a man can fundamentally change his nature. This is why it is so difficult for one who has acquired an unsavory reputation to re-establish himself in public confidence. People know from experience that an individual who in one year displays knavish characteristics- seldom in the next becomes any different. Nor does a thief become a trustworthy employee, or a miser a philanthropist. Nor does a man change and become a liar, coward or traitor at fifty or sixty; if he is one then, he has been one ever since his character was formed. Big criminals are first little criminals, just as giant oaks are first little acorns.6 Although man is potentially perfect he is far from being actually so. If he were actually perfect there would be nothing for preachers and humanitarians to do; no use for churches, schools, courts and prisons. Therefore while it is impossible to change human nature, it can be studied, controlled and directed, and this should be the supreme function of our religious, educational and social institutions.7 Man is perfect as a seed is perfect, germinally. The spirit is perfect, but when it inhabits human structures, it participates in the imperfections of the later; and during its association with matter takes on the mortal weakness, desires and limitations. But the spirit, the inner man, remains untouched and undefiled by evil. Only the outer man- the personality and the physical body- becomes imperfect, due to ignorance, wrong thinking andviolation of the law of being. The outerman, too, was originally perfect, but man has so desecrated and abused it that today it is a far cry from the original model.8 Man's majesty and nobility are taken for granted, although his faults and weaknesses are constantly paraded before our eyes. Only when behavior deviates from the normal does it attract attention. The good neighbor, the conscientious citizen, the kind father and faithful husband pass unnoticed. But the murderer, robber or wife beater is singled out for ublicity, because such conduct is unusual.9 Man's inherent goodness, moreover, is revealed by his countless acts of heroism, unselfishness and sacrifice. Daily one reads of men saving others at the peril of their own lives. One plunges into the surf and rescues a swimmer from drowning; another dashes into a burning house and carries a stranger to safety; others snatch a child from the wheels of death; many give their blood so that others may live. Countless unnamed and unrecorded men have given their lives for their fellowmen, not only on the battlefront but on the home- front as well.10Human nature does not and cannot change but unfolds its inherent pattern. Man has a nature and its laws can be known. We can only endeavor to understand man as he is.。

熊海虹《高等学校研究生英语综合教程 》译文
Unit Ten普林斯顿大学校长在其任职演说中提到：与接受高等教育这项权利相伴的是各种义务。
危机时代，大学该扮演的角色雪莉·M．泰夫曼1今天，由于长期以来美国人对教育价值的共识，大学在美国社会中占有得天独厚的地位。
一位前任校长哈罗德·多兹1933年在就职演说中曾提到，“没有哪个国家像美国这样，不论对公立教育还是私立教育的投入都是如此地慷慨大方。
美国人民对正规教育所能起到的作用抱有一种近乎天真的信念。
”这一信念是在这样一个深信不疑的基础上确立的，即美国的活力、它富有创造性和多样化的文化生活、它具有惊人独创力的经济、它的国家安全以及它健全的民主制度——极大地依赖于其高等教育机构的质量。
2我国社会对高等教育机构的信心通过以下几点表现出来：联邦政府和州政府对基础研究和应用研究给予大量投资，这些投资明智地将对研究的支持与对研究生教育的支持结合起来；联邦政府和州政府对无力负担高等教育学费的学生给予资助；一些私人基金会和慈善机构给予投资，他们认为高等院校是达成其战略目标的最佳途径；一些个人和私人部门给予投资，他们认为高等院校是未来健康发展和富裕繁荣的孵化器。
社会当然期望我们能有所作为以回报这种广泛的支持。
社会期望我们产生新思想，开发新知识，以一种开放和共同协作的方式探索复杂的问题，培养未来一代公民和领导者。
当处于困境的时候，我们不辜负这些期望就尤为重要。
3中世纪大学的形象是一座象牙塔，学者们远离社会进行孤独的沉思，不关心窗外之事——这一形象已被现代大学所取代——现代大学不是象牙构筑的，而是高度开放的机构，允许内外自由交流。
高校是属于社会的，而不是游离于社会之外的。
高校的理想，经由多少代人的铸造，旨在渗入国民意识之中。
学者和教师必定要周旋于学院内外以寻觅运用他们的才能为公众服务的机会，寻觅能给我们带来启发和见识的创造性工作，寻觅把实验室的研究发现转化为实际应用的途径。
我们的学生在从事社会活动时怀有一种强烈的公民责任意识，并且当他们毕业若干年后成为老校友时仍然会这样做。

Unit 7建筑之诗意(节选)约翰•岁斯金The science of Architecture,followed out to its full extent,is one of the noblest of those which have reference only to the creations of human minds.It is not merely a science of the rule and compass,it does not consist only in the observation of just rule ,or of fair proportion;it is ,or ought to be ,a science of feeling more than of rule,a ministry to the mind,more than to the eye.if we consider how much less the beauty upon its rousing certain trains of meditation in the mind,it will show in a moment how many intricate questions of feeling are involved in the raising of an edifice;it will convince us of the truth of proportion,which might at first have appeared startling ,that on man can be an architect who is not a metaphysician.1建筑科学，如果得以充分体现的话，是只与人类心智创造有关的科学中最高贵的科学之一。
它不仅仅是尺子与圆规的科学，不仅仅需要遵守恰当的规则或合适的比例它是，或应该是，一门重感情甚于规则的科学，它更多的是服务于心灵，而非眼睛。
如果我们明白，一座建筑的美和雄伟，很大程度上取决于它能引发心灵的一系列沉思，而非来自于它能满足视觉上的某种偏爱，我们很快就会发现，一座建筑的兴建会涉及多少错综复杂的情感问题。
我们会因此而相信一个乍然一听不无惊人的论点，那就是，一个人如果不是玄学家，就无法成为建筑师。
To the illustration of the department of this noble science which may be designated The Poetry of Architecture,this and some future articles will be dedicated.It is this peculiarity of the art which constitutes its nationality;and it will be found as interesting as it is useful,to trace in the distinctive characters of the architecture of nations,not similarity to ,and connect with,the prevailing turn of mind by which the nation who first employed it is distinguished.2对这一高尚科学进行说明的本文及今后要写的一些文章都将收入进我暂命名为《建筑之诗意》一书中。
正是这一艺术特性构成了它的民族性。
建筑不仅与其周围的环境和气候相适应，也与率先采用这种风格的民族的主流性情极其相似，密切关联，这些都可以从各民族的建筑特征中得以追溯，我们会发现.，这种追溯既有益，亦有趣。
I consider the task I have imposed upon myself the more necessary,because this department of the science,perhaps regarded by some who have no ideas beyond stone and mortar as chimerical,and by others who think nothing necessary but truth and proportion as useless,is at a miserably low ebb in England.And what is the consequence? We have Corinthian columns placed beside pilasters of no order at all,surmounted by monstrositied pepper-boxes,Gothic in form and Grecian in detail,in calumniously so entitled,dropped in the brick-fields round the metropolis;and we mock-magnificent,Regent’s Park description,rising on the woody promontories of Derwent Water.3在我看来，赋予自己这项任务显得尤为必要，因为这门科学在英国正处于可悲的低谷之中:在那些只知石头和砂浆的人看来，它是虚妄幻想。
在那些满脑袋只有事实和比例的人看来，它毫无用处。
那么结果是什么呢?我们看到科林斯式的柱子竖在杂乱无章的壁柱旁边，上面是怪异的胡椒罐式的塔顶，形式上是哥特式的，细节上是希腊式的，这种建筑美其名日别具“民族特色”。
我们看到所谓的“瑞士小屋”散落在都市周围的一片砖砌的房子中，实在是糟践了这一名称。
我们看到那些平顶、有着显眼的方窗，用条板和石灰建造而成的乡绅别墅，它们仿照摄政王公园的样式，冒充宏伟的气势，耸立在德文特湖林木丛生的脚角上。
How deeply is it to be regretted,how much is it to be wondered at,that,in a country whose school of painting,though degraded by its system of meretricious coloring,and disgraced by hosts of would-be imitators of inimitable individuals,is yet raised by the distinguished talent of those individuals to a place ofwell-deserved honor,and studios of whose sculptors are filled with designs of the most pure simplicity,and most perfect animation;the school of architecture should be so miserably debased!4多么令人惋惜，多么令人惊异啊。
在这个国家，绘画学派虽然受到华而不实的着色方法的损害，并因成群试图东施效攀的模仿者而蒙羞，但在那些天分超群的画家的带动下，绘画享受着当之无愧的荣耀，雕塑家的工作室里随处可见最朴素却最富有生气的设计。
而建筑界竟会堕落到如此悲惨的境地!不过，现实之所以令人惋惜，原因是多方面的。
(此文来自袁勇兵博客)首先，建筑(我指的是所有等级的建筑，There are,however,many reasons for a fact so lamentable.In the first place,the patrons of architecture(I am speaking of all classes of buildings,from the lowest to the highest)are a more numerous and less capable class than those of painting... There,the power is generally diffused.Every citizen may box himself up in as barbarous a tenement as suits his taste or inclination;the architect is his vassal,and must permit him not only to criticize,but to perpetrate.The place or the nobleman’s seat may be raised in good taste,and become the admiration of a nation;but the influence of their owner is terminated by the boundary of his estate:he has no command over the adjacent scenery ,and the possessor of every 30 acres around him has at his mercy.The streets of our cities are examples of the effects of this clashing of different tastes;and they are either remarkable for the utter absence of all attempt at embellishment,or disgraced by every variety of abomination...5从最低等级到最高等级)的出资人，相比于绘画的赞助者来说，人数更庞大，能力却相形见细。
在建筑领域，权利总体上是分散的。
(此文来自袁勇兵博客)每个公民可以按照自己的品味或爱好，住进粗鄙的房屋里。
建筑师是他的仆从，不仅必须听任他批评，还得容忍他胡作非为。
宫殿或贵族的宅邸也许能建出好品味，可以成为举国欣赏的对象，但这些建筑的主人的影响力到了地产的边界便中断了:他无法控制周边的景观。
