Unit 1成功机构,以人为本“我们公司的经营模式是公司和每一位员工共同成功,绝不落下任何人,这也是成功经营一个企业的典范??”——霍华德·舒尔茨1. 英特尔公司奉行它。

微软、摩托罗拉、戈尔、西南航空公司、班杰瑞、惠普、林肯电气以及星巴克也都奉行它。

它是什么?它就是这些公司所奉行的“以人为本”的策略。

2.越来越多的例子证明,成功的组织都是以人为本的。

为什么?因为精明的经理人们已经认识到他们企业的员工才是它们唯一真正的竞争优势。

竞争者可以在产品、工艺、选址、销售渠道等诸多方面与其不相上下,但却很难效仿的是拥有一支由专业素质高和工作动机强的人组成的劳动力队伍。

几乎在所有的行业,那些成功的公司之所以超越它们的对手们,主要的区别就在于他们所能够得到和留住想要的人。

3. 哪些做法才能区分以人为本的公司呢?我们至少可以列出四条:第一,它们重视文化的多样性。

它们根据年龄、性别和种族积极寻求一支多元化的员工队伍。

第二,它们具有家庭氛围。

公司通过为其员工提供灵活的工作时间以及现场托儿服务设施等帮助员工平衡工作和个人职责之间的关系。

第三,它们对员工培训进行投资。

这些公司花费巨资以确保员工的技能水平始终保持最新状态。

这不仅确保员工可以处理该公司的最新技术和工艺,而且还使这样的员工极具市场竞争力。

第四,以人为本的公司将权力下放给员工。

它们将权力和义务下放到公司的最底层。

4. 那些奉行以人为本的组织拥有一支更敬业、更忠诚的工作团队。

因而这样的团队精神转化成了高生产率和工作满意度。

这些员工会愿意做出更大的努力——为了准确彻底地完成他们的工作,他们会全力以赴。

我们来看一看其中的一个因奉行“以人为本”而取得成功的公司:星巴克。

星巴克的卓越成就5. 让你在咖啡中醒来!——星巴克无处不在。

作为世界首屈一指的专业咖啡零售商,星巴克在世界上30多个国家开设和授权开设了8000多家咖啡店。

这些咖啡店销售各种各样的咖啡饮品、食物、咖啡及咖啡用品。

Unit 1Translation of Text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。

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。

不久前,我和一批人在一起时,其中有位来自澳大利亚的地球物理学家在滔滔不绝地谈论宇宙中的奇观。

“我们生活的这个地球,”他说道,“是个了不起的、生机勃勃的、旋转的行星,是由一些不可思议的奇观组合而成。

”随后便是长时间的停顿。

这时,一位被他的这种极度夸张的恭维话所吸引的妇女,禁不住说道,“嗯,我们喜欢这个地球。

”我认为,对待恭维采取否定和贬低的态度是错误的。

“多漂亮的礼服啊!”你的朋友赞美道。

“噢,这么破的旧衣服!”你回答道。

这种情景,与我上述提出的观点非常相似。

别人赞美你的礼服,你无权为此感到羞愧或恼怒——除非这件礼服恰好是你自己亲手缝制的。

如果你这么说,“我是在麦茜商场的地下室和另一个妇女经过一番争抢才买下来的,”你可能会感觉更好些。

The Healing power of BeliefFor the past two years,I have been studying cancer survivors at UGLA,trying to find out why it is that some people respond much better to their treatment than do others.At first I though that some patients did well because their illnesses were not as severe as the illnesses of others.On closer scrutiny,however,I discovered that severity of the illness was only one of a number of factors that accounted for the difference between those who get well and those who don’t .The patients i am talking about here received upon diagnosis whatever therapy medication,radiation,surgery-their individual cases demanded.Yet the response to such treatments was hardly uniform.Some patients fared much better in their therapies than others.在过去的两年里,我一直在UGLA研究癌症幸存者,试图发现为什么对有些人治疗产生的效果会比其他人好。

以开始我认为一些人治疗效果好是因为他们的疾病没有别人眼中。

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 penny.【at bottom】2.A lot of viewers complain that there is too much crime and needless sex and violence on TV.【gratuitous无端的】3.I read a brief extract of Erving Goffman's new detective novel on the

its earnestness and psychic insecurity than by its middle income.I have known some very rich people who remain stubbornly middle-class,which is to say they remain terrified at what others think of them,and to avoid criticism are obsessed with doing everything right.The middle class is the place where table manners assume an awful importance...The middle class,always anxious about offending,is 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。

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。

Unit 7Exploration is an important survival strategy in evolution.探索是进化过程中一个重要的生存策略。

The migration of expansive species depends on exploring their immediate or distant surroundings for new food sources or safe habitats; it can also come as a result of population pressures or environmental changes.数量不断扩张的物种的迁移有赖于对临近或遥远的新的食物来源或安全的栖息地进行探索,这是人口压力或是环境变化的结果。

The human species has added another reason for exploration, namely curiosity. This intellectual urge to explore the unknown led the great European explorers to the Americas, Australia and Antarctica between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries.而人类还增加了另外一个探索的原因,即好奇心。

这种对未知事物进行探索的思想冲动引领着伟大的欧洲探险家们在15世纪到17世纪之间来到了美洲,澳大利亚和南极洲。

Inquisitiveness about nature is also the driving force behind humans exploring the polar caps, climbing mountain peaks and diving into the abysses of the oceans.对大自然的好奇心同样也是人类探索极地冰冠,攀登山峰和潜入海底背后的驱动力。

But to their surprise, many people find that enduring such a harrowing ordeal ultimately changes them for the 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 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 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进发出来。

A Whole Nation and a People[1] There was one storekeeper I remember above all others in my youth, when I was spendinga good portion (part) of my time with a motley (mixed) group of varied ethnic ancestry (racial background). We contended (competed) with one another to deride (laugh at) the customs of the old country (motherland). On our Saturday forays (attack) into neighborhoods beyond our own, to prove we were really Americans, we ate hot dogs and drank Cokes. If a boy didn't have ten cents (dime) for this repast (meal) he went (was) hungry, for he dared not bring a sandwich from home made of the spiced meats our families ate.[2] One of our untamed games was to seek out (found) the owner of a pushcart (wagon) or a store, unmistakably an immigrant (<->emigrant), and bedevil (annoy/ troubled) him with a chorus of insults and jeers. To prove allegiance (loyalty) to the gang it was necessary to reserve (keep) our fiercest malevolence for a storekeeper or peddler belonging to our own ethnic background.[3] For that reason I led a raid (attack) on the small, shabby (old and broken) grocery of old Barba Nikos, short, sinewy (strong) Greek who walked with a slight limp and sported (showed) a flaring, handlebar mustache.[4] We stood outside his store and dared (challenged) him to come out. When he emerged (appeared) to do battle (fight), we plucked (grasped) a few plums and peaches from the basket on the sidewalk (pavement) and retreated (withdrew), I go across the street to eat them while (at same time) he watched. He waved a fist and hurled epithets at us in ornamental (graceful) Greek.[5] Aware (Realizing) that my mettle (courage) was being tested, I raised my arm and threw my half-eaten plum at the old man. My aim was accurate and the plum struck (hit) him on the cheek. He shuddered and put his hand to the stain. He stared at me across the street, and although I could not see his eyes, I felt them sear (burn) my flesh (->meat). He turned and walked silently back into the store. The boys slapped (patted) my shoulders in admiration, but it was a hollow (empty) victory that rested (fell down) like a stone in the pit of my stomach (depressed).[6] At twilight (dusk), when we disbanded (dismissed), I passed the grocery alone on my way home. There was a small light burning in the store and the shadow of the old man's body outlined against the glass. Goaded (Encouraged) by remorse (regret), I walked to the door and entered.[7] The old man moved from behind the narrow wooden counter and stared at me. I wanted to turn and flee (escape; fleet), but by then it was too late. As he motioned (waved) for me to come closer, I braced (prepared) myself for a curse (abuse/ scoring) or a blow (beating).[8] "You were the one," he said, finally, in a harsh (rigid/ fierce) voice.[9] I nodded mutely (silently).[10] "Why did you come back?'[11] I stood there unable to answer.[12] "What's your name?"[13] "Haralambos," I said, speaking to him in Greek.[14] He looked at me in shock (surprisedly), "You are Greek!" he cried. "A Greek boy attackinga Greek grocer!" He stood (was) appalled (shocked) at the immensity (seriousness) of my crime. "All right," he said coldly. "You are (come) here because you wish to make amends (to do sth. as a remedy)." His great mustache bristled (stood on end) in concentration. "Four plums, two peaches," he said. "That makes a total of seventy-eight cents. Call it seventy-five. Do you have seventy-five cents, boy?"[15] I shook my head.[16] "Then you will work it off (pay for it by working)," he said. "Fifteen cents an hour into seventy-five cents makes (equals to)" —he paused —"five hours of work. Can you come here Saturday morning?"[17] "Yes," I said.[18] "Yes, Barba Nikos," he said sternly (seriously/ rigidly). "Show respect."[19] "Yes, Barba Nikos," I said.[20] "Saturday morning at eight o'clock," he said. "Now go home and say thanks in your prayers that I did not [lose(vt.)->loose(a.)->loosen (vt. removed) your impudent (rude/ impolite) head with a solid (strong/ heavy) smack (slap) on the ear." I needed no further urging (scoring) and fled (escaped).[21] Saturday morning, still apprehensive (fearful), I returned to the store. I began by sweeping, raising clouds of dust in dark and hidden corners. I washed the windows, whipping the squeegee swiftly (quickly) up and down the glass in a fever of fear (anxiously) that some member of the gang would see me. When I finished I hurried (ran) back inside.[22] For the balance (Paying the debt) of the morning I stacked (piled) cans, washed the counter, and dusted bottles of yellow wine. A few customers entered, and Barba Nikos served them. A little after twelve o'clock he locked the door so he could eat lunch. He cut himself a few slices (sliced bread) of sausage, tore a large chunk (a piece) from a loaf of crisp-crusted bread, and filled a small cup with a dozen black shiny olives floating in brine. He offered (gave) me the cup. I could not help (from doing sth.) myself and grimaced.[23] "You are a stupid (foolish) boy," the old man said. "You are not really Greek, are you?"[24] "Yes, I am."[25] "You might be," he admitted grudgingly (unwillingly). "But you do not act (like a) Greek. Wrinkling your nose at these fine (excellent) olives. Look around this store for a minute (moment). What do you see?"[26] "Fruits and vegetables," I said. "Cheese and olives and things like that (sth. similar)."[27] He stared at me with a massive scorn. "That's what I mean," he said. "You are a bonehead (fool). You don't understand that a whole nation and a people are in this store."[28] I looked uneasily (anxiously) toward the storeroom in the rear (back), almost expecting someone to emerge (appear).[29] "What about olives?" he cut (wave) the air with a sweep of his arm. "There are olives of many shapes and colors. Pointed black ones from Kalamata, oval ones from Amphissa, pickled green olives and sharp tangy yellow ones. Achilles carried black olives to Troy and after a day of savage (fierce) battle leading his Myrmidons, he'd (would) rest and eat cheese and ripe black olives such as these right here. You have heard of Achilles, boy, haven't you?"[30] "Yes," I said.[31] "Yes, Barba Nikos."[32] "Yes, Barba Nikos," I said.[33] He (move->)motioned (waved) at the row of jars filled with varied spices. "These are all the marvelous (wonderful) flavorings (ingredients) that we have used in our food for thousands ofyears. The men of Marathon carried small of these spices into battle, and the scents reminded them of their homes, their families, and their children."[34] He walked limping from the counter to the window where the piles of tomatoes, celery, and green peppers clustered (gathered together). "I suppose (think) all you see here are somerandom vegetables?" He did not wait for me to answer. "You are dumb (stupid) again. These are some of the ingredients that go to make up a Greek salad. Do you know what a Greek salad really is?A meal in itself, an experience (of life), an emotional involvement. It is created (cooked) deftly (skillfully) and with grace (taste). The story goes (says) that Zeus himself created the recipe and assembled and mixed the ingredients on Mount Olympus one night when he had invited some of the other gods to dinner. Do you understand now, boy?"[35] He watched my face for some response and then grunted (muttered). We stood (were) silent for a moment until he cocked (raised) his head and stared at the clock. "It is time for you to leave," he motioned (waved) brusquely (swiftly) toward the door. "We are square (equal) now. Keep it that way."[36] I decided (thought) the old man was crazy (mad) and reached behind the counter for my jacket and cap and started (headed) for the door. He called me back. From a box he drew out several soft, yellow figs that he placed (put) in a piece of paper. "A bonus because you worked well," he said. "Take them. When you taste them, maybe (perhaps) you will understand what I have been talking about."[37] I took the figs and he unlocked the door and I hurried (ran) from the store. I looked back once and saw him standing in the doorway, watching me, the swirling tendrils of food curling like mist (fog) about his head.[38] I ate the figs late that night. And in the morning when I woke, I could still taste and inhale their fragrance.[39] I never again entered Barba Nikos' store, because shortly afterwards (soon) my family moved from the city. [a nation on the wheel][40] Some (About) twelve years later, after the war, I drove through the old neighborhood and passed the grocery. I stopped the car and for a moment stood before the store. The windows were stained (dirty) with dust and grime, the interior (was) bare (uncovered) and desolate (deserted), a store in a decrepit (old and broken) group of stores marked for razing (felling down) so new structures could be built.[41] I have been in (visited) many Greek groceries since then and have often bought the feta and Kalamata olives. I have eaten countless Greek salads and have indeed found them a meal for the gods. But I have never been able to recapture (re-catch) the flavor (taste and fragrance) of those pleasant to my tongue, but there is something missing (spiritual experience). And to (until) this day I am not sure whether it was the figs or the vision (appearance) and passion (love) of the old grocer that coated the fruit so sweetly I can still recall (call back) their savor (taste) and fragrance after almost thirty years.

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.。

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。

Final Version of TranslationUnit two1.为什么我们与来自其它文化的人们的交流总是充满了误会、让人感到沮丧呢?令很多人奇怪的是,即使怀着良好的愿望、使用自己认为是友好的方式,甚至有互利的可能性,也似乎都不足以保证交流的成功。

有时候,出现排斥现象正是因为一方所属的文化群体团体是“不同”的。

在这个国际舞台发生重大变化的时刻,探讨为什么尝试交流的结果却令人失望的原因是必要的,这些原因实际上是跨文化交流中的绊脚石。

2.相似性的假设为什么误解或反对会产生呢?这个问题的一个回答就是,大部分的人天真地认为世界上的人有足够的相似之处,可以让我们成功地交流信息或感受,解决共同关注的一些问题,加强商业关系,或者只是产生我们所希望产生的印象。

所有的人都会生儿育女,组成家庭或社会,发展一种语言以及适应他们周围环境的这种倾向特别具有欺骗性,因为它带来了一种期望,这种期望就是这些行为的形式以及围绕这些行动的态度与价值观念将是相似的。

相信“人就是人”和“我们内在本质是相似的,”这让人感到心安理得,但是下定决心去寻找证据却只会令人失望。

3.力求证明达尔文关于面部表情是共同的这一理论的跨文化研究给人极大的希望,研究者发现脸部的某些看得见的形状,即因愤怒、恐惧、惊讶、悲伤、厌恶、幸福而紧缩的肌肉组合,我们人类各成员都是一样的。

但是这似乎无济于事,只要我们意识到一个人生长的文化决定了这种情感是否会表露或压抑,决定了在何种场合和多大的程度上会表露或压抑。

带来这种情绪感受的情形也因文化而异,例如:由于崇拜的文化信仰不同,一个心爱的人死亡可能带来欢乐、悲哀或其他情感。

4.因为似乎没有普遍的人性可以作为自动理解的基础,所以我们必须把每交往当作个别案例来处理,寻求任何共同的认知和交流方法并以此作为出发点。

如果我们认识到我们受文化的约束,受文化的改变,那么我们就会受这一现实:因为各自不同,我们确实不太清楚其他人“是”什么样的。

UNIT 2 课文译文Text A结婚礼物伊莉莎白·埃科诺莫我一直有这样的梦想:星光灿烂的晚上,在一家巴黎咖啡馆能有人向我求婚。

那个咖啡馆就像凡高所画的“夜晚的咖啡馆”,我的工作室墙上就挂着一幅此画的翻印本。

然而,我男朋友却在我用“稳得新”擦洗卫生问镜子的时候叫我嫁给他。

我已经上40岁,是该轮到我了。

我已经体面地让开,眼看着孪生妹妹还有小妹在我之前出嫁。

我做过女傧相7次,伴娘3次。

我的淡颜色塔夫绸衣服比寄物店都多。

我的未婚夫乔治和我都是希腊裔美国人,但是我们想办一个简朴、大方的婚礼。

不需要很多伴娘伴郎。

也不放映幻灯片,展示求婚的细节,那太傻了。

这会是一次很温馨的聚会,请的人不多也不铺张,100个左右的宾客吧。

在我们的家族,那算是小圈子内的聚会。

我为一位偏执狂的管弦乐队指挥做公关刚刚结束,因而我有很多时间投入到我这个新的项目上。

乔治是药剂师,每周工作60小时,现在又有一份工作:听我抱怨婚礼一事。

这毕竟是我表现的时候,得由我说着算。

但是,我投入的时间和精力越多,万事就越和我过不去。

没有请到我想要的洛杉矶希腊乐队。

我到教堂时所戴面纱的针线活也很糟,不是我原来所要求的。

我订的象牙色的丝绸礼服被隔离在新加坡的某个地方。

眼看婚礼也就没有几个礼拜了,我邀请的客人大部分在最后期限之后才回信,让我很是烦恼。

之后,我接到妈妈的电话。

她个头娇小,68岁却依然精力饱满。

几天前还为我即将举行的婚礼感到兴奋不已。

她刚去医院做例年的身体检查。

虽然感觉还不错,但被诊断是胃癌。

接下来的几天,问题不再是“举行什么样的婚礼?”,而是“还办婚礼吗?”我把这看成是我的大喜日子。

我认识到没有妈妈的大喜日子不可思议。

爸爸已经在三年前过世,不可能牵着我的手到教堂圣坛完婚,这已经让我觉得凄苦。

但是一想到妈妈那天也不能在教堂就让我觉得无法忍受。

几天后,我从纽约市搬回西雅图,延迟了婚礼。

我从操办婚礼转向指导保健。

我已经挑选好歌曲,准备作为我们夫妻的首个舞曲,但现在压力那么大,我已经记不起来是哪首了。

我的婚礼在母亲患病这个残酷的事实面前就像梦一样消失了。

与此同时,我和两个妹妹本都生活在三个不同的城市,这时却在医院的等候室里再次相聚了。

我的孪生妹妹虽然已怀孕8个月,但还是从芝加哥飞了过来。

小妹自父亲去世以来一直照顾着妈妈,这时恐惧占据了她的心,此情此景让她不由得想起父亲临终的日子。

咨询医生后,我们得知胃部手术是妈妈唯一的选择。

医院一有床位我们就住进去了。

一个沉闷的秋天早晨,大雨无情地倾泻在西雅图市,妈妈被收进了瑞典肿瘤研究所。

在五个小时的手术过程中,医生把她的胃切掉了三分之二。

我在等候室里来回走动,恐惧不安,不知道等待我们的会是什么。

乔治飞过来陪我。

他说,“我也不想待在其他地方”。

三个夜晚,他睡在医院等候区域潮湿的地板上,裹着破旧床单,头枕脏兮兮的沙发垫。

手术一周后,医生向我们告知了预后。

“癌细胞没有扩散,”他说。

这几个词可是英语中最可爱的词了。

乔治紧握着我的手,这时眼泪流下我的面颊。

接下来的几个礼拜令人劳累。

妈妈只得重新考虑她的饮食,我得琢磨该准备哪些饭菜。

颓废的希腊饭菜被蛋白质替代,少食多餐,这有助于修补她那从胸骨到肚脐下长达六英寸的刀口。

蛋白质还增强她的免疫系统,因为接下来她要化疗和放疗。

在此之前,做饭对我来说也就是把头天晚上从花哨饭店里吃剩下打包回来的饭菜在微波炉热一下。

但两个月之后,我掌握了水煮荷包蛋,学会烧带骨牛排。

此外,照顾母亲也让我认识到她当年照料我们是多么地尽心。

我永远也不会忘记,她刚动完手术几个小时后,我到特护病房去看她。

她躺在那里,手臂、鼻孔和嘴巴里插了那么多的塑料导管,她却吃力、沙哑地说道:“莉兹,你一定要吃点东西。

”忘记巴黎。

妈妈的彻底康复才是我现在的梦想。

最近,她去做了一次随访CT检查。

当她脱下结婚金戒指检查的时候,98磅的柔弱身躯颤抖了。

这个检查得做,接下来还有很多次。

但医生说,“一切都很好。

”不久,妈妈就可以把我领到圣坛举行婚礼。

我已经忘记面纱上的刺绣。

但在我掀开面纱的时候,我肯定会脉脉地注视着我所最爱的两个人:我的未婚夫和让我懂得人生要义的那个女人一我的母亲。

Text B藐视婚姻二月份,我和一个我认为是活着的人当中最出色的家伙订了婚。

我感觉甚为幸运,沉浸在爱河中。

我急不可待要结婚。

自我订婚以后,虽然听到朋友们很多祝福的话语,可一些上了年纪、玩世不恭的人却不愿让我高兴。

我听到了下列的评论,在抱有马上嫁给心上人这个理想的我的头上浇了一盆冷水。

“不会长久的”,“你们连婚都结不了”,“婚姻太难了”,“要让事如所愿太难了”,还有我喜欢听的话、但说的时候是眼珠溜转并且怪声怪调,“祝你好运了”。

有些人还就婚后生活的困境给我上了课,给我同情的神情,还有人高谈阔论说我10年后的生活会多么糟糕,说那时我肯定恨我丈夫。

难道大家就不能让我开心吗?人们喜欢我的未婚夫,也没有说我还没有准备好。

那为什么这样就是错误呢?为什么几个有过不幸经历的成年人非要说那些难听的话来扼杀我的幸福,而不是就送上几句祝福呢?别误解我。

我还没有让幸福之感搅乱了常识。

我对婚姻的艰难都一清二楚,我也知晓头痛的事:小孩子能拖垮婚姻,经济的问题也会爆发,夫妻间不再情感交流,工作压力能造成伤害,人是不断变化的而且越来越老,这都会为解除当年的真爱起到推波助澜的作用。

我知道这不容易,也不总充满乐趣,我也知道婚姻永远都不完美。

我在去年父母离婚的时候亲身体会到这一切。

我看到在不幸、痛苦、绝望、懊恼、哀伤和恼怒中他们曾一度美满的婚姻轰然倒地。

婚姻可以是美丽的旅途,但并不是每个人都能体会到。

我妈妈和爸爸分开后幸福多了。

经历此事我曾想永远不结婚,直到我遇到了我的梦中情人,是他改变了我的想法。

我未婚夫的父母真令人难以置信。

他们自从上高中的时候就在一起,超过30年了,他们有5个子女,疯狂的工作安排,别人有的事他们都有。

但是他们却是例外,因为他们仍然疯狂地相爱。

和他们在一起犹如呼吸到一口新鲜空气。

从他们身上我看到的爱是不一样的。

我就想,这样的爱我也有。

你永远都无法知道生活会给你什么,但是认为婚姻永远不能白头偕老、不值得一试可就是很危险的看法了。

婚姻可以长久。

婚姻可以经得起很多潜在的灾难,能持续一生,我未来的公公婆婆就是明证。

我和未婚夫的关系不完美,但很美妙。

和他在一起让我变得更好、更开心。

他能让我开怀大笑,而别人做不到。

我们之间的交流很健康、很棒。

但最为重要的是,我对他的爱是无条件的。

他对我的爱就是因为我这个人,不带有任何判断,不抱怨我不讲究整洁,也不会对我有时候的神经过敏而烦恼。

我们总是能先为对方着想,不管我们多忙也总能为彼此找出时间。

对结婚他和我一样兴奋,我们共同坚信彼此合得来,能够携手到永远。

我们有他的父母和我的双亲为例,有借鉴的事例,知道哪些错误不能犯,知道如何创造稳定的基础,让其超越现在。

有一天,我或许会用干瘪、皱纹环绕的眼睛回顾现在,看到一个傻丫头,她不知道自己在说什么。

我们的关系有一天或许不像现在这样好。

但我不会在走进婚姻殿堂时就想着一切都有瓦解的时候。

我不会为自己的离婚先作准备,或把自己想象成活的数据。

当我说“我愿意”的时候,我是在说我保证永远地爱他,而不是“到了感觉不完美的时候我就想退出”。

我的意思是永远。

我小的时候就梦想过结婚。

我穿上妈妈的婚纱和面纱,脸上乱涂上很多粉红色的胭脂,从厨房花瓶里拿出一束假花,还想那要是真的该多好。

我现在知道我梦中的婚姻生活有点太乐观,至少抱的希望太大。

现在我自己有一件绝好的婚礼服。

我会自豪地穿上,而且说“我愿意”,跳舞,吃那价钱不菲的蛋糕。

我会全身心地享受这美好的日子。

但我知道这一天是会结束的,一旦结束,我就得筹划未来。

丈夫和我得辛勤地工作,去实现我们共同的目标。

我会尽自己的一切向他人证明我们的婚姻运转很好,让6岁就想做新娘的我自豪。

因此,我很抱歉,你们这些离婚的人,婚姻不幸的人,还有那些只是玩世不恭的人,因为你们不再热恋。

如果你们从来没有找到让你兴奋得屏气的人,我只能再次说声抱歉了。

但是现在,就让我享有自己的快乐,让我沐浴在这有点荒谬、强烈、有趣怡人、美丽、精彩、而且一生只有一次的爱河中。

你大可不必告诉我那些我已经知道的东西。

你们暂且就让我高兴一回吧。

UNIT 3课文译文Text A追寻烟草的历程:从性感到致命霍华德·马克尔,医学博士对许多美国人来说,烟草业的不诚信记入公众档案始于1994年4月14目的一次国会听证会。

在加州民主党代表亨利-A一韦克斯曼的怒视下,美国七大烟草巨头的首席执行宫出现在了这次听证会上。

在20世纪30和40年代,香烟要么意味着健康一因为有一位仁慈的医生含蓄地推荐它,要么就意味着性感。

每位总裁举起右手,郑重宣誓要对从事的业务实话实说。

在随后的证词中,每个人都陈述自己不相信烟草会给健康带来风险,而且自己的公司从未采取措施来操纵香烟中尼古丁的含量。

30年前,一位卫生局长就发布了关于抽烟危害健康的著名报告。

如今看来,烟草业总裁们属于不相信该报告的极少数人的行列。

但事实并非始终如此。

哈佛大学医学史专家艾伦·M·布兰特坚持认为,对香烟危害的认识源于持续了大半个20世纪的一个智力过程。

在新书《香烟的世纪:界定美国的产品的兴衰和死命的坚持》中,他讲述了这个引人入胜的故事。

虽说当今香烟是死亡和疾病的象征,但从20世纪初到20世纪60年代,香烟在文化上象征着成熟练达、魅力和性感诱惑一是当时半数美国人大为追捧的商品。

从20世纪30年代到50年代,许多广告运动都颂扬香烟的健康品质。

在全彩的杂志广告中,身穿白大褂的仁慈的医生骄傲地点起香烟或是吞云吐雾,上面还写着“更多医生选择骆驼牌香烟”之类的广告语。

20世纪初期,对香烟的抵制带着道德的口吻,而不是出于对健康的关注。

对想抽烟的女性更是如此。

不过即使在当时,许多医生已经关注到吸烟会给健康造成风险。

在20世纪30年代这一时期,许多美国人变成了烟民,而抽烟对健康最为显著的危害尚未显现出来。

因此,这一时期的科学研究无法从严肃的病理学上找到清晰的证据,竟起到了为香烟开脱的反效果。

到了二战后,流行病学思想取得了不少重大突破。

1947年,英国医学研究会的理查德·多尔和A·布拉德福德-希尔创立了一种复杂的统计方法,以记录肺癌上升率和烟民增加之间的联系。

著名外科医生埃瓦茨·A·格雷厄姆和医学专业学生欧内斯特·L·温德尔于1950年发表了一篇极为重要的论文,比较了圣路易斯市巴恩斯医院内烟民和非烟民肺癌患者的发生机率。

在结论中,他们认为“长期抽烟至少是支气管癌发病率飙升的重要因素之一。

”不难想象,烟草公司以及他们的专家代言人们嘲笑这些以及其它研究,称这些仅仅是统计上的论据或趣闻轶事,根本不能确定其因果关系。
