Unit 1Ghosts for Tea' Ten pence for a view over the bay' . said the old man with the telescope.'Lovely clear morning. Have a look at the old lighthouse and the remains of the great shipwreck of 1935.'Ten pence was sheer robbery, but the view was certainly magnificent.Cliffs stretched into the distance, sparkling waves whipped by the wind were unrolling on to the beach,and a few yachts,with creamy-white sails, were curving and dodging gracefully on the sea . Just below,a flock of seagulls were screaming at one another as they twisted and glided over the water. A mile out to sea, the old lighthouse stood on a stone platform on the rocks, which were being greedily licked by the waves. In no way indeed did I grudge my money. As I directed the telescope towards the lighthouse, the man beside me tapped my wrist.' Have you heard about the terrible tragedy that occurred there in that lighthouse?' he asked in a hushed whisper.'I imagine there may be plenty of legends attached to such a dramatic-looking place' , I suggested.'It's no legend' , declared the old man. 'My father knew the two men involved.lt all took place fifty years ago to-day. Let me tell you.His voice seemed to grow deeper and more dramatic.'For a whole week that lighthouse had been isolated by storms' , he began, 'with terrifying seas surging and crashing over the rocks. People on shore were anxious about the two men working there. They'd been on the best of terms until two or three weeks before, when they had quarrelled over cards in the village inn. Martin had accused Blake of cheating. Blake had vowed to avenge the insult to his honour. But thanks to the wise advice of a man they both respected, they apologised to each other, and soon seemed to have got over their disagreement. But some slight resentment and bitterness remained. and it was feared that the strain of continued isolation and rough weather might affect their nerves, though, needless to say, their friends had no idea how serious the consequences would be.'Fifty years ago to-night,no light appeared in the tower, and only at two o'clock in the morning did the beam suddenly start to flash out its warning again.'The next morning the light was still visible. The storm had almost blown itself out, so a relief boat set out to investigate. A grim discovery awaited the crew . The men's living-room was in a horrifying state. The table was over-turned: a pack of playing cards was scattered everywhere: bloodstains splashed the floor. The relief men climbed the winding stair to the lantern room and there discoveredMartin's body, crouched beside the burning lamp. He had been stabbed and was dead. Two days later, Blake's body was washed up. scratched, bruised, and terribly injured.' Only then could we really start guessing what had happened. This great tragedy could only have been due to a renewal of their quarrel. Bored and depressed as a result of their isolation, Martin and Blake must have started to play cards. Again suspecting cheating, Martin had accused his former friend of dishonesty; a fight had broken out and Blake had seized his knife. In a fit of madness he had attacked his companion, who had fallen mortally wounded. Then, appalled by what he had done, the loneliness, the battering of wind and waves, Blake had rushed to the parapet and flung himself on to the rocks below, where the sea had claimed him.'But Martin was still alive. Hours later, after darkness had fallen, he had recovered consciousness. He remembered his job of lighting the lamp; suffering intense pain, the poor wretch crawled slowly up the winding staircase, dragging himself from step to step till he got to the lantern. At his last ' gasp he managed to light this before finally collapsing.'For years afterwards it was said that the lighthouse was haunted, and, owing to these stories, they didn't have any applicants for the job of lighthouse-keeper from among the superstitious local inhabitants. And now they say that on every anniversary of that day, especially when the sea is rough, you can stand in the living-room, hear the cards failing and the sound of angry cries, see the flash of a blade,and then glimpse a figure rushing to the parapet. And then you hear the slow dragging of a body from step to step towards the room above.'The old man paused and I turned to go.'By the way' , he added, 'have you any free time this afternoon? If so, why don't you have teain the lighthouse? We are putting on a special boat trip to-day. We're charging a pound. And my brother, who bought the old lighthouse when they built the new one just on the point, can serve very good teas there - included in the price of the boat trip - a bargain, considering the problem of obtaining the food. And if you are at all sensitive to the supernatural, you're likely to have an unusual, perhaps an uncanny experience there.I eyed him appreciatively. 'You're wasting your talents' , I said. 'You should have been a fiction writer. ''You don't believe it? exclaimed the old man indignantly.'I'd find it a job,' I answered. ' My father, Henry Cox, started as keeper of that lighthouse fifty- two years ago, and he and Jim Dowley, now retired on a pension, were in charge for ten years. Come and see my dad one day with that tale; he'd enjoy it' .But the old man had already turned his attention to a more likely client.Google翻译:“10便士比湾景”。

汉翻英第一单元1、要善于恭维他人,重要的一步就是要懂得为什么恭维会有助于你建立更好的人际关系。

An important step in becoming an effective flatterer is to understand why flattery helps you establish better relationships with others.2、恭维之所以奏效,最根本的原因是恭维符合了人类行为的一个基本原则:人们渴望得到赏识。

The root cause of the power of flattery gets at(达到) a basic principle of human behavior:People crave being appreciated. Power of flattery lies in the fact that it fulfils a basic principle of human behavior:3、尽管文化背景各不相同,但绝大多数人都有类似的想法。

The vast majority of people are of the similar idea despite different cultures.4、在亚洲文化中,人们对群体赏识的渴求一般要强于对个体赏识的渴求。

但不管怎样,人们渴望赏识是普遍存在的。

In Asian cultures the desire for group recognition is generally stronger than the desire for individual recognition. Nevertheless, the need for recognition is present/universal.5、很多人认为,工作本身带来的乐趣要比外界赏识包括恭维更为重要。

Many people hold that the joy of work itself is more important than external recognition, including flattery.6、工作的乐趣也许是一种巨大的动力,但是即使是那些从工作中得到极大乐趣的人如科学家、艺术家、摄影师也渴望得到恭维和认可,否则他们就不会去竞争诺贝尔奖或在重要的展览会上展示他们的作品了。

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。

研究生英语第一课课后翻译第一篇:研究生英语第一课课后翻译有时候,在工作中重要的倒是能否处理好人际关系而不是有多大的才能。

人际关系就是一种善于听取别人意见体察别人的需要虚心接受批评的能力。

善于处理人际关系的人敢于承认错误,敢于承担自己的责任,这是对待错误的一种成熟和负责任的态度。

这就是为什么许多平平庸庸的公司雇员在大调整中保住了位置,而有才能的人反而下岗。

因为他们很注意处理各方面的关系,所以八面玲珑,到处有缘。

而人际关系差的人往往不能处理好批评。

碰到错误,他们首先想到自己,拒不承认自己有错,或情绪低落或大发雷霆,成为有刺的人,难以相处。

Sometimes it is interpersonal skills rather than professional skills that really counts in your career.Interpersonal skills are nothing but the ability to be good listener, to be sensitive toward other‟s needs, to take criticism well.People with skill in social relations admit their mistakes, and take their share of blame, which is a mature and responsible way to handle an error.That‟s why many mediocre employees survive violent corporate upheavals while people of great talent are being laid off.Sensitive in their dealings with others, they are well liked everywhere.People with poor interpersonal skills have trouble taking criticism.When confronted with a mistake, they let their ego get in the way.They deny responsibility and became moody or angry.They mark themselves as “prickly”.Every so often, it is one’s interpersonal skills rather than his capabilities that matter in his work.Interpersonal skills are the ability to listen to others, observe others’needs, and be open to criticisms.An interpersonally skilful person never fails to admit his mistakes and shoulder his responsibilities, since he has a mature andresponsible attitude toward mistakes.That is why in a company’s personnel reshuffle many employees with mediocre capabilities are allowed to stay while some talented people get dismissed.The former are careful to deal with people all around them, so they are popular with everyone and favored everywhere.In contrast, those with poor interpersonal skills cannot cope well with criticisms from others.When they get things wrong, they tend to put themselves first and deny their mistakes, or they feel depressed or fly into a temper, as unapproachable as a hedgehog.第二篇:研究生英语课后翻译unit3The plane arcs softly into its final descent at Hong Kong International Airport.Below, Victoria Harbor, and the silent rhythms of countless ships.Beyond, sloping mountains fence in a breathtaking city view that seems to stretch forever.This is no ordinary airport.This is no ordinary city.An elderly man passes by wearing pajamas, bearing a brightly feathered bird singing merrily in its cage.Professional gather at a roadside kitchen for noodles, congee and shrimp.Incense from s tiny Taoist temple drifts into the pounding beat of rock music pouring out of a discotheque.A ferry travels on the nearby water regularly, taking passengers to an isolated island 40 minutes away, where Buddhist temples and tiny fishing villages dot the landscape, Hong Kong.Here, 161 km south of the Tropic of Cancer, beats the pulse of Southeast Asia’s heart.Where East greets We st, and past colors present.飞机轻轻地进入香港国际机场做最后的下降。

研究生综合英语2(修订版)Unit Three课文翻译

我们没有"享受幸福的权利"C.S.路易斯"毕竟," 克莱尔说,"他们拥有享受幸福的权利" 。

我们当时是在讨论邻里发生的一件事。

甲先生抛弃甲太太,离了婚,准备迎娶乙太太,而乙太太也同样办好了离婚手续准备嫁给甲。

毫无疑问,甲先生和乙太太非常欢喜对方。

如果他们继续相爱,且健康和收入不出什么差池,他们接下来的日子应该会过的很开心。

同样显而易见的是,他们与各自的前任相处不佳。

乙太太最初还是喜欢她的丈夫的。

但是后来他在战争中负伤,丢掉了工作,据说还已经失去了性能力。

此后的生活已经不再是乙夫人当初所期待的。

甲夫人也很凄惨。

她容貌不再,也没有了生机活力。

有人说她因为为他生儿育女,又为护理他度过漫长的疾病期而将自己的精力消耗殆尽,而先前的婚姻生活也因着疾病而黯然失色。

但是不要以为甲是那种将糟糠之妻弃之如敝履的一类人。

我们都知道前妻的自杀让他非常震惊,他曾亲口对我们说,“我又能怎么样呢?每个人都有享受幸福的权利。

我不能错过我的幸福机会。

”之后我就一直琢磨"享受幸福的权利"这句话。

起初这句话给我的感觉怪怪的,听起来就像是在说每个人都有走运的权利。

无论会有哪个派别的道德学家如何评论,我们的幸福或痛苦很大程度上都非人力所能控制。

在我看来,所谓享受幸福的权利并无依据,正如不能要求自己的身高要达到六英尺,应该有个百万富翁的老爸,或者说无论什么时候自己想去野餐了,天气就必须晴朗。

权利作为所在的社会的法律所保障的自由是不难理解的。

因此,我有权沿公共道路行驶,因为这是社会给赋予我的自由,也是“公共”道路意义之所在。

我也能理解法律所保障的债权权益,和与之相应的他人的债务承担义务。

如果我有权从你那里获取100英镑,也就等于说你有责任付我100英镑。

如果法律允许甲先生抛弃发妻而去勾引邻人之妻,那么甲就有这项法律权利,我们也没有必要在此谈论所谓“幸福”的权利。

研究生英语综合教程下册1,4,5,6单元课文翻译研究生英语综合教程(下)系列教材翻译参考译文全章节Unit 1幸福隐藏的另一面凯思琳?麦克高恩1. 咫风、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。

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之后与某种方式的改变。

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,人们会恢复过来一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一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一或许对那种深刻的、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。

Unit2 Commercialization and Changes in Sportsmercialization has not had a dramatic effect on the format and goals of most sports. In spite of the influence of spectators, what has occurred historically is that sports have maintained their basic format. Innovations have been made within this framework, rather than completely dismantling the design of a game. For example, the commercialization of the Olympic Games has led to minor rule changes in certain events, but the basic structure of each Olympic sport has remained much the same as it was before the days of corporate endorsements and the sale of television rights. 商业化对于大多数体育运动的结构和目标没有太大的影响。

Unit1 从能力到责任[全文翻译]1 当代的大学生对他们在社会中所扮演的角色的认识模糊不清。

他们致力于寻求在他们看来似乎是最现实的东西:追求安全保障,追逐物质财富的积累。

年轻人努力想使自己成人成才、有所作为,但他们对未来的认识还是很模糊的。

处于像他们这样前程未定的年龄阶段,他们该信仰什么?大学生一直在寻找真我的所在,寻找生活的意义。

一如芸芸众生的我们,他们也陷入了两难的境地。

一方面,他们崇尚奉献于人的理想主义,而另一方面,他们又经不住自身利益的诱惑,陷入利己主义的世界里欲罢不能。

2 最终而言,大学教育素质的衡量取决于毕业生是否愿意为他们所处的社会和赖以生存的城市作出贡献。

尼布尔曾经写道:“一个人只有意识到对社会所负有的责任,他才能够认识到自身的潜力。

一个人如果一味地以自我为中心,他将会失去自我。

”本科教育必须对这种带有理想主义色彩的观念进行自我深省,使学生超越以自我为中心的观念,以诚相待,服务社会。

在这一个竞争激烈\残酷的社会,人们期望大学生能报以正直、文明,,甚至富有同情心的人格品质去与人竞争,这是否已是一种奢望?人们期望大学的人文教育会有助于培养学生的人际交往能力,如今是否仍然适合?3毫无疑问,大学生应该履行公民的义务。

美国的教育必须立刻采取行动,使教育理所当然地承担起弥合公共政策与公众的理解程度之间的极具危险性且在日益加深的沟壑这一职责。

那些要求人们积极思考政府的议程并提供富于创意的意见的信息似乎越来越让我们感到事不关己。

所以很多人认为想通过公众的参与来解决复杂的公共问题已不再可能行得通。

设想,怎么可能让一些非专业人士去讨论必然带来相应后果的政府决策的问题,而他们甚至连语言的使用都存在困难?4核能的使用应该扩大还是削弱?水资源能保证充足的供应吗?怎样控制军备竞赛?大气污染的安全标准是多少?甚至连人类的起源与灭绝这样近乎玄乎的问题也会被列入政治议事日程。

5 类似的一头雾水的感觉,公众曾经尝试过。

Unit 1核心员工的特征大卫·G.詹森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。

我请一位客户——一位正参与研究的人事部经理,给我解释一下。

“每家公司都有少数几个这样的员工,在某个专业领域,你可以指望他们把活儿干好。

在我的小组中,有七名化工流程工程师和生物学家,其中有那么两三个人是我赖以生存的,”他说,“他们对我的公司而言不可或缺。

当请你们公司替我们招募新人的时候,我们期待你们会去其他公司找这样的人:其他公司经理不想失去的员工。

我们只招募核心员工。

”2这是一段充满了鼓动性的谈话,目的是把猎头们派往竞争对手的公司去游说经验丰富的员工们做一次职业变更。

他们想从另一家公司招募核心员工。

然而,每家公司也从新人中招人。

他们要寻找的是完全一样的东西。

“我们把他们和公司顶级员工表现出的特质进行对照。

假如他们看起来有同样特征的话,我们就在他们身上赌一把。

”只是这样有点儿冒险。

3“这是一种有根据的猜测,”我的人事经理客户说。

作为未来的一名员工,你的工作是帮助人事部经理降低这种风险,你需要帮助他们认定你有潜力成为一名核心员工。

4特征1:无私的合作者职业顾问和化学家约翰·费策尔最早提出了这个特征。

关于这个特征,人们已经写了大量的文章。

它之所以值得被反复谈及,是因为这一特征是学术界和企业间最明显的差别。

“这里需要合作,”费策尔说,“企业的环境并不需要单打独斗,争强好胜,所以表现出合作和无私精神的员工就脱颖而出了。

在企业环境中,没有这样的思维方式就不可能成功。

”5许多博士后和研究生在进行这种过渡的过程中表现得相当费力。

因为生命中有那么长一段时间他们都在扮演一个独立研究者的角色,并且要表现得比其他年轻的优秀人才更出色。

你可以藉此提高在公司的吸引力:为追求一个共同的目标和来自其他实验室和学科的科学家们合作——并且为你的个人履历上的内容提供事迹证明。

这个方法,加上你在描述业绩时开明地使用代词“我们”,而不是“我”,能使公司对你的看法从“单干户”转变成“合作者”。

例如,如果一位女士走到我跟前,说道:“你的胡子最迷人,”我会无所适从,不知怎样回答才好。

我可能会惊慌得脱口而出:“我也喜欢您的胡子。

”在社会交往中,应对恭维比对付辱骂要艰难得多,这话听起来有点矛盾,却有一定的道理。

闲聊时来句恭维话,往往让我们大多数人不知所措。

例如,有人对我们说上一句动听、赞美的话,我们就慌得说不出话来,膝盖开始瑟瑟发抖。

如果别人称赞不是真正属于我自己的东西时,我根本无法欣然接受。

我家住在一个小山上,俯瞰山下一片宽广的谷地。

来访者惊叹道:“天哪!你这儿的景色太美了!”整个山谷原本就在那里,不是我造的,也不属于我。

然而我傻乎乎地笑着说:“噢,没什么——无非是过去留下的一片土地而已。

”我在接受这种特定的恭维时,表示最能完全接受的说法就是“嗯,我们喜欢。

”采用这种答话必须得小心谨慎。

就某样东西说“我们喜欢”,言外之意就是,还有许多其他人都认为它很令人讨厌。

请来看看那古老的灯塔和 1935 年失事的大轮船残骸吧。

要十便士简直是敲诈勒索,可是海湾的景色确实壮丽。

峭壁向远方伸展,海风激起的阵阵波浪泛着白花,冲上海滩。

海面上几艘游艇张着乳白色的风帆优雅地避开浪头蜿蜓前进。

山崖下面,一群海鸥相互叫唤着,在海面上盘旋飞翔。

离岸一英里处,在海浪贪婪地吮舔着的岩岸上,那座古老的灯塔矗立在一座石头平台上。

说实话,我毫不吝惜那几个钱。

当我把望远镜转朝灯塔时,站在我身旁的那个老头拍了拍我的手腕。

您听过在那座灯塔里发生的一起骇人听闻的惨案吗? 他压低了嗓声对我说。

我想这个地方看起来非常富有戏剧性,有关它的传说一定不少,我说。

这可不是传说,那老头郑重其事地说。

我父亲认识那起惨案的两个当事人。

一切都发生在 50 年前的今天。

1 / 3让我说给您听听吧。

他的声音似乎变得更低沉、更富有戏剧性了。

整整一个礼拜,风暴困住了那座灯塔,他开始说。

咆啸的大海波涛汹涌,海浪拍打着岩石,轰然作响。

岸上的人们十分担心在那儿工作的两个人。

他们俩是多年的挚友,但在两三个礼拜前,他们在乡村酒店里玩牌时吵了一架。

马丁指责布莱克打牌时耍赖,布莱克则发誓要对侮辱他人格的不实之辞进行报复。

多亏一位他们俩都尊敬的人好言相劝,他们才互相道了歉,并以乎很快地结束了他们之间的不快。

不过各自心里还有些怨恨。

因此,人们担心长时间与世隔绝所造成的极度紧张和恶劣的天气会使他们俩神经过敏,尽管两人的朋友们不消说还根本没意识到后果会有多么严重。

离今 50 年前的那个晚上,灯塔上没有出现灯光,直到凌晨两点钟左右才有一束灯光突然发出警告信号。

“弗兰肯食品”能养活世界吗?1、如果你想在某次晚宴上挑起一场激烈的争论,那就提出转基因食品的话题吧。

对许多人来说,高科技的转基因作物生产的概念会带来诸如环境、健康、安全和伦理等方面的各种问题。

特别是在有悠久的农业生产传统和主张环保的游说集团的国家里,转基因食品的主意似乎有悖自然。

2、事实上,转基因食品已经成为我们生活重要的一部分。

根据农业部的统计,美国去年所种植玉米的1/3,大豆和棉花的一半以上都是生物技术的产物。

今年,美国将种植6500多万英亩的转基因作物。

基因妖怪已经从瓶子里跑出来了。

3、但是,显然还有一些非常现实的问题需要解决。

就像任何一种要进入食物链的新食品一样,转基因食品必须经过严格的检验。

在富裕的国家里,由于有大量丰富的食品可供选择,而且供应远远超过需求,所以关于生物技术的争论相对缓和一些。

在迫切想要养活其迅速增长而又吃不饱的人口的发展中国家,问题比较简单,也更加紧迫:生物技术的好处是否大于风险呢?4、关于人口增长和饥饿的统计数字读来令人感到不安。

去年,世界人口达到了60 亿。

联合国预测,到2D0年,这个数字很可能将接近90亿,而增加的人口几乎都来自发展中国家。

与此同时,世界人均耕地正在减少。

国际农业生物工程应用技术采购管理局(ISAAA)称,自1960年以来,耕地面积一直持续下降,并将在今后50年减少一半。

5、联合国估计,世界上有近8 亿人口营养不良。

它产生的效应是破坏性的。

大约有4亿的育龄妇女体内缺铁,也就是说,她们的婴儿将可能有各种天生的缺陷。

数量多达1亿的儿童缺乏维生素A,这是导致失明的主要原因。

还有数千万的人患有因食物匮乏而导致的其他严重疾病和营养不良症。

6、生物技术对此能做些什么呢?生物技术专家已经培育出了含有β—胡萝卜素(身体可将之转化为维生素A)和更多铁元素的转基因水稻,目前正在研究培育其他一些增进营养成分的农作物。

生物技术还可以帮助提高因虫害、干旱、土壤贫瘠和作物病毒、细菌或真菌导致作物减产而出现食物匮乏的地区的农业生产率。

研究生英语2课文翻译【研究生英语2课文】How to deal with complimentsH. Allen SmithAlthough I am sure that beards can make me more distinguished, walk on the street would make women laugh, but I'm from a beard, the reasonis that I did not dare to adventure, because even if a little beard also is very dangerous, it will attract other people's compliment. For example, if a woman comes up to me and says, "your beard is the most charming," I will be at a loss and I will not know what to say. I might panic and blurt out, "I like your beard, too."In social intercourse, it is much more difficult to cope with compliments than to deal with insults. It sounds paradoxical, but there is some truth in it. When it comes to small talk, most of us are at a loss. For example, when someone said a nice compliment and a compliment, we were too nervous to say anything, and our knees started to shake.I simply can't accept it if others praise it for something that is not really my own. My family lived on a hill overlooking a wide valley. The visitor exclaimed, "heavens! What a beautiful view you have here! The whole valley was there, not mine, nor mine. But I smirked and said, "oh, nothing - nothing but the land of the past."When I accept this particular compliment, the best way to say it is "well, we like it." This answer must be carefully guarded. To say "we like" something, the implication is that many others find it annoying. Not long ago, when I was with a group of people, one of them, a geophysicist from Australia, was gushing about the wonders of the universe. "The earth we live in," he said, "is a remarkable, lively, spinning planet composed of some incredible wonders." Then there was a long pause. At this time, a woman attracted by his extremely exaggerated compliment said, "well, we like this earth." I think it's wrong to take a negative and demeaning attitude to flattery. "What a beautiful dress! "Your friend praised. 'oh, such old clothes! "You answered. This scenario is very similar to the one I mentioned above. You have no right to be ashamed or annoyed when someone compliments your gown -- unless it happens to be your own. If you say so, "I bought it in the basement ofthe maisie mall and another woman in a scramble," you might feel better. Or "my husband picked it for me," and that's fine.I know a man who has been studying this problem, and he has come up with a way to avoid the praise of others. He adopted an unconscionable realism. One night I overheard a woman say to him, "your shoulders are so powerful!" He answered, without blinking an eye: "three-quarters of the water. Three quarters of my body is water, so I have three quarters of my shoulders water. Anything that has three quarters of water is actually not going to be powerful." The kind woman murmured, frowning away. I think there's a problem with the way this guy answers.Many of us try to use wisecracking to deal with flattery. For example, someone said enthusiastically, "smell your name." "I don'tthink it's a good name," was the standard answer. This witty response should be placed in government regulations. It might horrify me, because I'm not a wisecrack. I recently heard a young man praising a girl who said she was like a star Greta garbo. "Flattery will get you everywhere," she replied. I think that's a pretty good answer. But there is a real repartee in the hundreds of thousands of responses. Only people like dorothy parker or George kaufman can handle it.Artists and writers face a particular problem. When a new car comes down, the person in charge can bring outside people in, point to the car and say, "isn't she pretty?" The person who paints, the person whowrites the book or the composer cannot do that. "Said the friend of the poet proffer." prover, the sonnet you wrote last time, is wonderful and rhyming." In fact, prover was perfectly in agreement with his friends, but he could not say so. "Well, actually," he objected, "you know very well that the last six lines don't rhyme."As the author of a pile of books, I sometimes face this situation. Someone would say, "I think it's interesting that your new book." I should be able to answer, "oh, I'm glad someone likes it"-- I was having a hard time writing." "Or," I think it's a good book too." But I can't say that. In fact, an unwritten rule of the author makes me say, "you must be a poor man of literature."I have turned to my children for tips on how to deal with compliments. Too little children can help. For example, say to a little boy, "oh, you're so cute!" How did he react? He would run around the house, his tongue sticking out of his mouth, and his eyes would rollaround, showing a threatening look. I can do this too, but I don't think it's socially acceptable. Or try to compliment a little girl, "what a beautiful dress you have!" You marvel. She immediately raised her skirt to show her petticoat, then she lifted the petticoat to show you the best look of her underwear. It doesn't work in adult society.I thought for a moment that the spanish-speaking people in the world were the best at rhetoric, and perhaps they could learn something from them. You say to one of them, "I've never seen such a beautiful house before," and he immediately replied, "you're going to be a little bit more handsome." You're standing there, embarrassed. It's no use going back to them - no matter what they say, they always have the upper hand.One thing is clear: in all decent social situations, it is essential to stay calm. Elisa peleg wrote one of the earliest books on etiquettein the United States. She tells a story in her book that clarifies the importance of keeping calm. It was at an elegant dinner in New England, when the goose, when the master cut the goose, slipped off the plate and landed on the dress of a lady. If I meet this situation, I will feel extremely embarrassed, I will secretly find a rope to hang. But the master was as cool as a cucumber. He said in a very calm and dignified manner, "madam, you will give me the goose, and I will be very grateful." Our social life would be much more interesting if we were able to maintain our manners and get rid of our awkwardness.If we keep this in mind, we'll be more calm: whenever someone compliments you, he probably just wants to talk to you. The only sensible answer is that eight little letters form two neat little words: Thank you!【翻译】如何应对恭维H·艾伦·史密斯尽管我确信蓄胡子会使我更加气度不凡,走在大街上会使女性发笑,但我从不留胡子,原因是我不敢冒险,因为哪怕蓄一点点胡子也很危险,它会招来别人的恭维。

Who knows1、There have been no shortage of insane, over ambitious ideas on the Internet. Most of them never make it further than the pub they are conceived in. Some generate hype but quickly fall flat on their face'. Others survive, but prove to be minnows rather than the giants they set out to be. However, *every so often, one sneaks through.2、Wikipedia is one of the rare ones that made it. Even by the admission of its founder, the 38-year-old technology entrepreneur Jimmy Wales, it was a "completely insane idea”: a free online encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to and anyone can edit.There is no editor, no army of proofreaders and fact checkers; in fact, no full-time staff at all. It is, in other words, about as far from the traditional idea of an encyclopedia as you can get.3、There are dozens of reasons why it shouldn't work, and it is sill far form perfect, but in less than four years, it has grown to have more than 1 million entries in 100 languages from Albanian to Zulu.4、To its fans, it is a fantastic research resource-albeit one that you should use with caution; and an incredible example of what can be achieved by collaboration and cooperation over the Internet. To its detractors-mostly those from the traditional world of encyclopedias and librarianship, it is barely worthy of the label "encyclopedia".*5、To put Wikipedia's achievements in numerical context, at the same time it was celebrating the publishing of its one millionth entry in less than four years, the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography launched its latest edition. It had taken 12 years to complete, yet contained a comparatively tiddly 55,000 biographies. It also cost some 25m to create. Wikipedia has so far been bankrolled by Wales, but the total cost so far is still around f300, 000.6、The current Encyclopedia Britannica has 44m words of text. Wikipedia already has more than 250m words in it. Britannica's most recent edition has 65,000 entries in print and 75,000 entries online. Wikipedia's English site has some 360,000 entries and is growing every day.7、But numbers mean nothing if the quality is no good. And this is where the arguments start.8、"Theoretically, it's a lovely idea," says librarian and Internet consultant Philip Bradley, "but practically, I wouldn’t use it; and I’m not aware of a single librarian who would. The main problem is the lack of authority. With printed publications, the publishers have to ensure that their data is reliable, as their livelihood depends on it. But with something like this, all that goes out the window."9、Wales responds by acknowledging that Wikipedia's model leaves it anything but error free (something they make clear on the site) but he also points to an article in a German technology magazine this month, which compares Wikipedia with two established,traditional digital encyclopedias: Brockhaus and Microsoft's Encarta. All three were tested on breadth, depth, and comprehensibility of content, ease of searching, and quality of multimedia content. Wikipedia won hands down.10、Dan Gillmor,the Silicon Valley commentator and author of We the Media,is one of many independent fans:”I don’t think anyone is saying Wikipedia is an absolute replacement for a traditional encyclopedia. But in the topics I know something about,I’ve found Wikipedia to be as accurate as any other source I’ve found”12、The truth is that Wikipedia is continuously evolving.There are now around 3,000 new entries being added each day (about 700-800 of which are in English); and as the site has got bigger, so has the amount of editing that takes place on it. In September this year, there was anaverage of 11 edits per article. The entry on the Israel-Palestinian conflict has been edited more than 250 times this year alone.13、The truth is that Wikipedia reveals what is normally hidden in an encyclopedia: the countless decisions that lie behind each entry. The only difference is that in Wikipedia, the decision-making never stops and the debates are often robust to say the least.14、Wales says an entry in his encyclopedia is "like a sausage: you might like the taste of it, but you don't necessarily want to see how it's made".15、It might seem like anarchy. And, given the lack of central control, it technically is. However, there are three elements that make it work.16、The first is its ownership, and lack of commercial imperative. The site is manned" by volunteers, and now owned by a foundation, which means people willingly give their time and intellectual property to the venture. It manages to run on less than $100,000 a year.17、The third-and perhaps most critical-has been the evolution of an incredibly intricate and democratic social order to keep this vast sprawling project in order.18、There are hundreds of thousands of "Wikipedians" who have contributed or edited articles. But the core community, according to Wales, is about 200 people who, by now, know each other quite well. Outside this inner-inner circle is a core of about 2,000 people who make more than 100 edits each in the last month. Beyond this, you have around 10,000 people who will have made more than five edits. There are administrators, bureaucrats, stewards and developers all with different levels of technical and administrative authority.19、This entire order is all there for everyone to see online. Policies and strategies are posted online, discussed and voted on. While the content develops automatically and anarchically, nothing happens to the social structure of Wikipedia without the consent of the core community.20、Wales and his community of volunteers are not resting on their laurels. He is in negotiations to print part of the content, and distribute it in Africa as part of their ambition to "put a free encyclopedia in the hands of every person on the planet". Insane and overambitious? Definitely. But after everything they have achieved in the last three-and-a-half years, you would be equally insane to bet against them.雄心勃勃的维基百科1. 互联网上从来就不乏疯狂透顶、野心勃勃的主意。

Unit3 Oslp1.I 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 asked to join in-it would have come to much 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。

2. People came into the cinema, consulted their tickets 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 a vast and otherwise empty auditorium. Two minutes into the movie, a woman laden with shopping 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 caused much play of flashlights among the usherettes and fretful re-examining of tickets by everyone in the vicinity until word got around that I was an American tourist and therefore unable to follow simple seating instructions and. I was escorted 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 课文翻译 第一三五单元

Unit 1 Stay hungry, stay foolish!Thank you.I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement [kə'mensmənt] from one of the finest universities in the world. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today, I want to tell you three stories from my life.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?At the age of 17, I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned coke bottles for the five cent deposits to buy foodwith, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna ['hɑ:re'kriʃnə] temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy [kə'liɡrəfi] instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand cal ligraphed ['kæliɡrɑ:f]. I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif ['serif] and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography [tai'pɔɡrəfi] great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have totrust in something -- your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.My second story is about love and loss.I was lucky -- I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage ['ɡærɑ:dʒ, ɡə'r-] into a two billion dollar company with over 4000 employees. We just released our finest creation -- the Macintosh -- a year earlier, and I had just turned 30.And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. And so at 30, I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating ['devəsteitiŋ].I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs [,ɔntrəprə'nə:] down -- that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me -- I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, and I returned to Apple. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.My third story is about death.When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I've looked in themirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago I was diagnosed [daiəɡ'nəuz] with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor ['tju:mə] on my pancreas ['pænkriəs]. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable [in'kjuərəbl], and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for "prepare to die." I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy ['bai,ɔpsi], I was sedated[si'deit]. It turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic [,pænkri'ætik] cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and, thankfully, I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you witha bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept.No one wants to die.Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It's Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma ['dɔɡmə]. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the "bibles" of my generation. This was in the late 1960’s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid ['pəulərɔid]cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: It was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Then when it had run its course, a final issue was put out. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message. And I've always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.译文如下:今天,很荣幸来到各位从世界上最好的学校之一毕业的毕业典礼上。

Unit 1“弗兰肯食物”能养活世界吗?1、假如你想在某次晚宴上挑起一场激烈的争论,那就提出转基因食品的话题吧。

对大多数人来说,高科技的转基因作物生产的概念会带来诸如环境、健康、安全和伦理等方面的各种问题。

特别是在有悠久的农业生产传统和主张环保的游说集团的国家里,转基因食品的主意似乎有悖自然。

2、实际上,转基因食品已经成为我们生活重要的一部分。

根据农业部的统计,美国去年所种植玉米的1/3,大豆和棉花的一半以上都是生物技术的产物。

今年,美国将种植6500多万英亩的转基因作物。

基因妖怪已经从瓶子里跑出来了。

3、但,显然还有一些非常现实的问题需要解决。

就像任何一种要进入食物链的新食品一样,转基因食品必须经过严格的检验。

在富裕的国家里,由于有大量丰富的食品可供选择,而且供应远远超过需求,所以关于生物技术的争论相对缓和一些。

在迫切想要养活其迅速增长而又吃不饱的人口的发展中国家,问题比较简单,也更加紧迫:生物技术的好处是否大于风险呢?4、关于人口增长和饥饿的统计数字读来令人感到紧张。

去年,世界人口达到了60 亿。

联合国预测,到2D0年,这个数字很可能将接近90亿,而增加的人口几乎都来自发展中国家。

与此同时,世界人均耕地正在减少。

国际农业生物工程应用技术采购管理局(ISAAA)称,自1960年以来,耕地面积一直持续下降,并将在今后50年减少一半。

5、据联合国估计,世界上有近8 亿人口营养不良。

它产生的效应是破坏性的。

大约有4亿的育龄妇女体内缺铁,也就是说,她们的婴儿将可能有各种天生的缺陷。

数量多达1亿的儿童缺乏维生素A,这是导致失明的主要原因。

还有数千万的人患有因食物匮乏而导致的其他严重疾病和营养不良症。

6、生物技术对此能做些什么呢?生物技术专家已经培育出了含有β—胡萝卜素(身体可将之转化为维生素A)和更多铁元素的转基因水稻,目前正在研究培育其他一些增进营养成分的农作物。

生物技术还可以帮助提高因虫害、干旱、土壤贫瘠和作物病毒、细菌或真菌导致作物减产而出现食物匮乏的地区的农业生产率。

7、虫害带来的损失令人难以置信。

例如,欧洲玉米螟每年毁掉4000 万吨玉米,占世界玉米总产量的7%。

把抗虫害的基因植入种子可以帮助避免这一损失。

在非洲进行的抗虫害棉花试验中,棉花的产量已大幅度提高。

有人担心,抗虫害的转基因作物不仅将害虫杀死,而且有可能连益虫也一起杀死,但到目前为止,这种担心似乎没有根据。

8、病毒经常在发展中国家造成主要粮食作物的大面积歉收。

两年前,花叶病毒使非洲损失了超过一半的木薯,而这种作物是当地人的主要食物。

转基因的抗病毒作物可以减少这种损失,就像抗干旱种子在可耕地面积因缺水而受到限制的地区起到的作用一样。

含铝过高的土壤会损伤作物的根系并使许多主要作物歉收,对于这种问题生物技术也能帮助解决。

目前,研究人员已经识别出一种有助于中和水稻里铝的毒性的基因。

9、很多科学家认为,生物技术能够把发展中国家的农业总产量提高25%,并且帮助防止作物收割后遭受损失。

10、尽管具有这么多潜力,生物技术还远远不能解决全部问题。

在发展中国家,作物歉收只是造成饥饿的一个原因。

贫穷才是罪魁祸首。

今天,全世界有超过10 亿人口每天靠不到1美元维持生计。

如果农民没钱种植转基因作物或当地人买不起农民种出的粮食,培育转基因作物就无法减少饥饿。

11、除此之外,生物技术也无法克服在发展中国家分配粮食的难题。

从整体上看,世界生产的粮食足够养活所有人,但大部分粮食却不是在需要的地方。

尤其在运输基础设施落后的国家,地理条件对食物供给的限制正如遗传学为食物供给带来的希望一样大。

12、生物科技也面临自身的“分配”问题。

许多转基因作物方面的尖端研究都是富国的私营生物技术公司进行的。

对发展中国家的穷苦农民来说,这些公司的产品通常显得过于昂贵,而且这些产品中的大部分甚至无法到达最需要的地区。

强大的经济刺激促使生物技术公司把富裕国家的市场作为第一目标,以便能够尽快回收产品开发的高额成本。

不过,有些公司已开始对贫穷国家的需要做出反应。

例如,一家总部在伦敦的公司已经宣布,它愿意和发展中国家一起分享生产维生素增强型的“金水稻”所需的技术。

Unit 2呼吁气候文化变革1. 在处理气候变化这场斗争中,人类需要做的不仅仅是改用节能灯泡和购买“绿色环保”商品。

正如环境科学家大卫·奥尔在其题为《坚持到底》的书中所指出的那样,我们所需要的是一个改变我们优先考虑的事的一个彻底的文化变革。

问题是那个看起来不可能完成的任务是否能够实现。

奥尔的书,加之最近的研究和积极的社会行动给了我们希望。

2. 在科学界正逐渐达成一个共识:人类正在迅速走向一个全球性的气候灾难。

尽管针对我们所面临的危险和代价的认识越来越多,我们能够防止灾难发生的时间却所剩无几。

奥尔注意到了形势的严峻,但是并没有沉溺于绝望和失败情绪之中。

奥尔的书清晰地表明我们需要做出哪些改变。

3. 在书中,奥尔描述了三种类别的在难度上递增的变化。

他所列举的第一类变化,也是最容易实现的,是重新设计用来生产食品、能量、水和其它商品的基础设施,以使这些基础设施依靠可再生资源运转。

第二类变化是全面修订教育体系以提高人们的生态意识和促进富有创造力的、切实可行的问题解决能力。

第三类变化是改革我们的政治体系,使其从当前的公司富豪统治(所谓的民主)变为由真正领导者领导的真正意义上的民主体制。

4. 正如如奥尔所说,我们生活“在各种失败了的‘主义’的废墟之中。

共产主义和资本主义贯彻的都是“不惜一切代价求增长”的政策,而这些政策都没有充分说明自然资本和社会资本资产的价值,这些资本资产包括诸如稳定的气候、正常运转的生态系统和成功的人类社区。

我们需要一种超越古今的解决办法,以便构想出一套完全不同的社会经济目标。

奥尔建议制定三种“目前看起来完全不可能实现的”目标。

首先,奥尔主张改变我们需要优先考虑的事,即从经济增长转变为能够真正改善每个人生活质量的发展。

第二,消费文化应该集中在必需品,而不是需求品上。

第三,也是最难实现的,我们应该唤起人们的“同情心和智慧以便公平地分配财富、机会和风险”。

5. 原来这些目标和用来实现这些目标的政策长久以来都是被列在社会和政治议程之内的。

问题是为什么事情并未发生改变?我们如何才能使这些事情发生改变呢?奥尔机智地处理了这个问题,他指出人类的本性是灵活的,迅速的文化变革曾经发生过。

比如,在二战后的美国,文化发生了改变,以允许新的社会和税收政策发挥其应有的作用,这些政策后来制造了美国的中产阶级。

前苏联的解体是由于社会问题的缓慢积聚,直至达到了翻动点。

由此可见,迟早有一天,那些以提高生活质量、追求公正和富足为目标的人开始胜过那些世界观锁定在不惜一切代价求增长的人。

6. 像这样的态度正处于上升趋势,这一论断的证据部分来自于社会学家保罗·H·雷和心理学家谢利·鲁思·安德森的著述,他们对过去40年美国的世界观进行了调查和分类。

他们在题为《文化创新者》(该书2000年由Crown出版公司出版)的一书中将美国人口分为三大类:“传统派”,“现代派”和“文化创新派”。

“传统派”包括宗教右翼和其他喜欢重提过去的人;“现代派”指的是当前占主导地位的群体,包括“不惜一切代价求增长”类型的人;“文化创新派”包括那些持有奥尔所倡导的价值观和目标的人。

到2000年为止,在美国,文化创新者的比例从20世纪6 0年代的几乎为零增长到25%,现在,据估计,文化创新者的比例已接近30%。

当这个比例达到足以开始彻底改变美国国家的,乃至世界的政治动态时,一个新的政治翻动点就会出现。

7. 就像奥尔所指出的那样,各种各样积极的社会行动正在推动我们朝着文化变革的方向发展。

这些行动包括英国托特尼斯“转变网络”这一慈善机构率先发起的“转变小镇”运动,该运动旨在帮助社区减少碳排放;基于加拿大温哥华的“可持续发展城市”行动,该行动支持全世界范围内的城市可持续性发展项目;还有奥尔自己旨在在美国俄亥俄州奥柏林市规划和建设可持续性发展的建筑物的行动。

8. 其它文化变革的指标包括保罗·霍肯在其2007年题为《幸福的动荡》(Viking出版公司出版)中所描述的成千上万个致力于恢复环境和促进社会公正的组织。

2008年设立的一个法国政府委员会是诸多旨在说明GDP作为社会进步衡量标准的局限性的努力之一。

这些例子均是针对为建造可持续发展的和美好的未来提供切实可行的解决办法而进行的全球性对话增多的证据。

一个名为《解决办法》的期刊(我是该期刊的主编,奥尔和霍肯是副主编)很快就要问世了,以提供更广阔的进行这方面问题讨论的平台。

9. 正是这一切都表明一个全球性的文化变革正在进行中。

这种变革,如奥尔在书中所得出的结论指出的那样,“已发展为一个全世界范围内的运动,这个运动拒绝接受人类注定要以一个大爆炸或在一个烧焦的、荒芜的地球上抽泣来结束我们的实验这一说法”。

我们还有出路,但是机不可失,时不再来。

但愿奥尔的书能够及时帮助我们实现这一必要的文化变革。

Unit 3谁知道呢?1. 在互联网上从来就不乏疯狂透顶、野心勃勃的主意。

这些主意大多没跑出将它们炮制出来的酒吧就自生自灭了。

有些主意红火一时,但很快就栽了跟头。

还有一些虽然坚持了下来,但是虎头蛇尾,无足轻重。

然而,偶有不动声色者却能顺利过关。

2. 其中成功者凤毛麟角,维基百科便是其中之一。

就连其创始人38岁的科技企业家吉米﹒威尔士都承认,创办该网站本是个“疯狂透顶的想法”:维基百科是一个免费的、自由在线百科全书网站,任何人都可以添加内容并进行编辑。

它没有编辑,没有校对大军,也没有专人检查内容是否属实;事实上,这里没有一位全职人员。

换句话说,传统百科全书的概念和它风马牛不相及。

3. 要说它玩不转的理由有很多,说它尽善尽美也差得远,但是在不到四年的时间里,它的词条已经突破了100万大关,这些词条由阿尔巴尼亚语到祖鲁语的100种语言写成。

4. 对于维基百科迷来说,它是一个极好的研究资源---尽管用起来尚须谨慎为上;它还是在互联网上通过协作与合作而取得成果的楷模,其成功令人难以置信。

诋毁它的人大多来自传统百科全书界和图书管理学界。

对他们来说,它几乎不配“百科全书”这个称谓。

5. 我们不妨引用数字来说明维基百科的成就。

在庆祝不到4年时间里第100万个词条发布之际,正值《牛津国家传记词典》最新版发行。

该词典历时12年才编纂完成,但是它所收入的传记只有寥寥5.5万条,而花费却高达2500万英镑。

到目前为止,维基百科还是威尔士一人资助的,但目前的总支出依然是大约30万英镑。

6. 新版的《大英百科全书》正文有4400万字。

而维基百科的总词量已经超过2.5亿了。

最新版《大英百科全书》的印刷版收入了6.5万词条,在线版有7.5万个。
