1、Jake was thinking about this freedom of his so much that when he glimpsed its green light he just went ahead and stared bye-bye to the steadily employed.

杰克正想入非非时，瞥见绿灯亮了，他只顾开动汽车，盯了一眼那些有固定工作的人，以示再见。

2、When he turned his head the same direction his windshield['windʃi:ld] n.挡风玻璃faced,it was maybe one second too late.

当他扭过头来，面对前方时，已经晚了一秒钟。

3、He pounced n.猛扑the brake pedal and steered操纵the front wheels away from the tiny brake-lights but the smack adv.猛然；直接地was unavoidable.

他猛地一下踩住刹车，调转方向，以避免撞上前面那辆车上小小的刹车红灯，但还是砰的一声撞上了。

4、Just one second sooner and it would only have been close.

如果他动作再快一秒钟，也许只会离这辆车很近，不会撞上。

5、One second more and he’d be crawling up爬上the Toyota’s trunk汽车车尾的行李箱.而如果再晚一秒钟，他的车就会爬上这辆车的行李箱。

6、As it was,it seemed like only a harmless smack,much less solid than the one against his back bumper.

实际上，他好像没有把前面的车撞坏，而后面的车撞上了他车后部的保险杠，那一撞却严重多了。

1、On the same day my car broke down(again),my refrigerator n.冰箱，冷藏库conked out and I learned that I needed root canal work in my right rear tooth.

就在这同一天，我的车又坏了，电冰箱不制冷了，而且我还得知我的右后臼齿牙根需要镶补。

2、If we were suddenly to see the paint油漆jump back on an old building,we would know that something was wrong.

如果我们突然看到油漆又跃回旧楼房的墙面，我们准会感到有问题。

If we saw an egg unscramble使恢复原状itself and jump back into its shell,we would laugh in the same way we laugh at a movie run backward.

如果我们看到一个鸡蛋自己拼凑在一起又跳回蛋壳，我们准会开怀大笑，就像看一组倒放的电影镜头那样。

3、It is easy to see entropy in marriages,when the parters are too preoccupied to patch small things up,almost guaranteeing保证that they will fall apart.

婚姻中很容易出现熵，当伴侣们过于忙于自己的事而忽视了弥补小小的裂痕时，几乎可以肯定他们的婚姻要破裂。

4、The chances that an ice-cold molecule will wander away from my refrigerator are also50-50.

这个分子在任何一点上朝冰箱方向运动的概率都正好是50%；它朝背离冰箱方向运动的概率也是50%。

But take billions of warm and cold molecules mixed together,and the chances that all the cold ones will wander toward the refrigerator and all the warm ones will wander away from it are virtually nil.

但是如果数亿个冷热分子混合在一起，那么所有冷空气分子朝冰箱方向运动，同时所有热空气分子背离冰箱运动的概率实际上是零。

5、If there were only a dozen or so air molecules in my kitchen,it would be likely—if I waited a year or so—that at some point the six coldest ones would congregate inside the freezer.

如果在厨房里只有十几个空气分子，那么我等上一年左右，或许在某个时刻6个最冷的分子会聚集在冰箱里。

But the more factors in the equation—the more players in the game—the less likely it is that their paths will coincide一致，符合；同时发生in an orderly way.

但是，这一等式中的变量越多，参加这一游戏的角色越多，那么它们的路径井然有序地相互吻合的可能性就越小。

1、The first wave involved tangible有形的products—“hardware”,as opposed to the computer programs that constitute software.

第一次浪潮涉及有形产品——硬件，它与构成软件的计算机程序相对而言。

In the1960s and1970s companies in the Santa Clara Valey,betweenn San Jose and San Francisco,produced silicon memory chips for computers—thus the name Silicon Valley.

20世纪六七十年代，圣何塞和旧金山地带的圣克拉拉谷的一些公司生产计算机存储器硅芯片，于是便有了“硅谷”的名字。

2、The second wave of wealth creation involved software—“application”software that people use for work or recreation,like word-processing programs or computer games,and“systems”software used to run businesses or,very often,computer networks themselves.

财富形成的第二次浪潮涉及软件——包括人们用于工作或娱乐的“应用”软件，就像文字处理程序或者计算机游戏之类，以及用于管理业务和计算机网络自身运行的“系统”软件。

3、But both the hardware and the software revolutions were,in their wealth-creating effects,slow to emerge compared to what is underway now because of the Internet.

但是无论是硬件革命还是软件革命，与现在因特网上所发生的情况相比，其财富创造的影响力都显得非常缓慢。

Less than ten years ago,Tim Berners-Lee,a British physicist working at the research center CERN in Geneva,invented a schme for linking data on a particular subject,or series of subjects,that were stored on different computers in different places.

短短数年之前,在日内瓦CERN研究中心工作的英国物理学家Tim Berners-Lee发明了一种方案，用以连接与某一主题或一系列主题相关的数据，这些数据存储在各地不同的计算机内。

4、The online auction site e-Bay is also profitable,because it charges a commission each time buyers and sellers conclude a deal on its site.e-Bay

网点的在线拍卖同样有利可图，因为它每拍卖一次都要向买卖双方收取一定的佣金。

But most of today’s Internet companies have substantial short-term losses,which stock market investors typically assume will turn into profits in some never-quite-arriving “Year Three”of the business plan.

但是如今大多数国际互联网公司都承受着重大的短期损失，证券市场投资者通常认为这种损失会在商业计划里某个似乎永远不会到来的“第三年”中转为盈利。

5、Thin as these rationales for profitability may ultimately prove to be,so far they’ve been sufficient to make many people very rich.

尽管上述这些获利的基本模式最终将证明是站不住脚的，但到目前为止，它们却足以使很多人十分富有。
