1“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。”
2 最后,职业地位包含对职业标准的遵守。很多律师通过在行业内外把自己塑造成一个具
有良好职业道德的典范来找到自我价值。对那些在所有职业行为中都表现出极度正直和谦逊
有礼的律师们来说,当管理阶层对他们理应受到的特别尊重表示肯定时,便又获得了另一种
形式的精神报酬。
3最近的调查显示越来越多的人抱怨饭菜质量平平,价格昂贵,而法国烹饪的衰落还不止于
此。这在法国可不是个小问题,要知道2002年美食旅游为法国创收180 亿欧元,占到全部
旅游收入的1/4。越来越多的餐馆老板反映政府的税收和经济政策限制了他们的利润,也就
影响了他们投资和雇佣更多人手的能力。束缚他们手脚的是令法国不那么光彩的繁琐拖拉的
公事程序,更不要说那些来自欧盟的规定,从销售税到布里乳酪里含细菌的指标统统都在严
格的掌控之中。
4浙江菜口味清淡,精致玲珑,是长江下游区域菜肴的代表。西湖醋鱼是其中的一道名菜。
这道菜鲜美,酥嫩,带着自然的清香。中国乃至世界各地的中餐馆大都能找得到这道菜,但
口味往往不及在浙江杭州吃得那般纯正。因为只有杭州拥有来自西湖的鱼和水。
5不管如何解释,工作与生活的平衡总是欧洲人的主要谈资,同时也是智囊团和政策制定者
研究和考虑的主题。在美国,人们使用这个说法时总是带着几分针对那些吃蛋奶火腿馅饼的
有闲人士才会表现出来的冷嘲热讽的态度。但是,它可能还是会流行起来的。时任《纽约时
报》执行主编的比尔・凯勒曾鼓励员工们要给生活增加一些色彩,多陪陪家人或去欣赏艺术。
6《欢乐满人间》的作者帕梅拉·林登·特拉弗斯概括得精辟之极。她写到,“你不能把你想
象的东西砍掉一部分然后写成一本专给孩子看的书,坦白地说,因为事实上你根本无从知道
童年究竟是什么时候结束的而成人期又是什么时候开始的。它们互相连接、浑然一体。”在
罗琳的书中,从语言开始,就有足够多的让大人和孩子都喜欢的东西。也许她的文风朴实,
但是她给人和物命名的方式显示了独特的原创才能。
7很多研究发现婴儿获得关爱的质量会影响到他们以后的交友,在学校的表现,如何应对陌
生的或可能充满压力的情况,以及他们成年后如何建立并且维系情感连系。正是因为这些原
因,人们与家庭成员的早期亲密关系才如此至关重要。在人情冷漠的环境中(如孤儿院,某
些寄养家庭,缺乏关爱的家庭)长大的孩子会出现情感和社会性发育不良,语言和运动技能
迟缓,以及精神健康问题。
8一开始让人相互吸引的是什么?许多人相信“世上有一个人是你为之而生的”,而且命运会
将你俩带到一起。这样的想法很浪漫却不现实。实证研究发现,是文化标准和价值观而非命
运,将人们连系在一起。我们错过了成千上万的可能的爱人,因为他们早就被正式的或非正
式的挑选理想爱人的准则筛选出局,这些准则包括年龄、种族、地域、社会阶层、宗教、性
倾向、健康状况或外表。
8做瑜伽没有场地的限制,一套瑜伽动作通常需要20 分钟到两个小时或者更多
的时间,而一个小时左右的时间则是一系列动作和冥想的最佳选择。根据瑜伽师
和学派的不同,一些瑜伽动作做起来辛苦异常,而另一些却只是在呼吸和心跳平
稳的情况下调整和伸展肢体。每天练习瑜伽会达到最好的效果,随着动作越来越
熟练,你就可以加大强度和难度这样瑜伽就能成为你相伴终生的日常锻炼方式
了。练习基础的瑜伽动作即可收到增强力量,改善柔韧性并使人感到舒适的效果,
但要想达到完美和高深的境界还是需要日积月累的练习,这也是瑜伽吸引人的地
方之一。

我提到这些,只是想表明,纽约就像是一座用特殊材料建造的城市,它几乎能
够把发生的任何事情(无论是一架一千英尺的班机飞离东区,还是两万个人在西
区集会)吸收掉,而不对它的居民们产生任何影响。因此,从这个意义来说,每
一件事情都是可以任意选择的。纽约人能够在愉快的心情下随意选择他的关注对
象,因此也就保持了他心灵的安宁。
10在大多数或大或小的都会城市里,个人经常是根本没有这种选择权的。他被迫生活在名
流的喧嚣中,名流的信息和各种事件铺天盖地、无孔不入,简直是避无可避。一块瓦片坠落,
会砸到每个市民的头上,是的,砸到城里的每一个人,无人幸免。我有时想,能使每个纽约
人都关注的唯一的一件事,大概要算每年一次的圣.帕特里克游行。它的影响是相当有穿透
力的——其发起者爱尔兰人是个顽固的民族,他们中有500,000人定居在纽约,这其中包
括许多警察,你想置之不理可太难了。
11人性的恒定性是众所周知的,因为没有人相信一个人能够从根本上改变他的本性。这就
是为什么一个恶名远扬的人很难重建公众对他的信心。人们凭经验知道某一年中表现出无赖
性格的人不太可能在第二年有任何改观。小偷也不会变成值得信赖的员工。吝啬鬼也不可能
变成慈善家。一个人也不会在五六十岁的时候变成谎话精、懦夫或叛徒,如果那时候他是,
那么早在他性格形成的时候他就已经是了。大罪犯最初都是小罪犯,正如大橡树最初都是小
橡果。
12我回想起他那时高涨的情绪、他的活力、他对未来的信心,还有他的冷漠。这两个人不
可能是同一个人,然而我确信就是他。我起身付了账,走进广场去找他。我的思绪一片混乱。
我感到惊恐。我绝不会想到他已经沦落到这般可怕的悲惨境地。我问自己发生了什么事,是
什么样的希望迟迟不能实现令他伤心,是什么样的失意将他击垮,是什么样的幻想破灭将他
逼向屈辱?我问自己是否已经无计可施。我绕着广场走着。
13我们还发现,有时看上去类似的汽车可能传达了完全不同的信息,比如英国最好的两种
豪华轿车:宾利公司的“雅致”和劳斯莱斯公司的“幻影”,两者都是高贵而快捷,但它们
却各自吸引了不同类型的客户。
14宾利的买主想要的是低调的、但是可以在几代人之间世代相传的传家宝;有史以来所生
产的宾利,80% 以上至今仍跑在路上。然而,“幻影”的买家却期盼一夜成名,该车的外表
使得它所到之处无不引人注目。
15“未来之宅”于1980年开放,它的设计是为了展示电子改革的现代技术水平。这一铜支
架多棱体建筑占地3,100平方英尺,高高耸立在亚利桑那沙漠之上。房子的南面布满了电
脑控制的太阳能采集装置,室内75%的供暖和95%的热水所需能量由它们供给。房子内部
像它的外表一样令人眩目。目前,“未来之宅”里唯一的常住户是一台计算机。参观者所听
到的单调的欢迎声就是来自于这台独一无二的机器,它由摩托罗拉公司设计,由五台计算机
连成网络,它是这座建筑物的中枢神经。
He is collecting authentic material that proves his argument. 为了证明他的论点,
他正在收集确凿的材料。
I could not recognize her, who had changed so much in the past 10 years.
我几乎认不出她了,因为在过去10 年中,她变得太多了。
When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a chance to produce
virtually anything in the name of "art". 当审查放宽时,招摇撞骗之徒就会有机可乘,
在“艺术”的幌子下炮制出形形色色的东西来。
They set him free when his ransom had not yet been paid. 虽然他还没有交赎金,
但他们还是把他释放了。
While I grant his honesty, I suspect his memory. 虽然我对他的诚实没有疑义,我
对他的记忆力却感到怀疑。
No matter what misfortune befell him, he always squared his shoulders and said:
“Never mind, I’ll work harder.” 不管他遭受什么不幸事儿,他总是把胸一挺,说“没
关系,我再加把劲儿。”
The possibility of employing more staff is still under discussion.是否雇用更多的员工还
在研究中。
He was captivated by her figure ,her blue eyes 他被她的身材、她的蓝眼睛迷住了
Late in November, street lights and store windows are decorated with the traditional
Christmas colors of red and green.11月下旬,街灯和商店的橱窗都用红和绿这两种传
统的圣诞节颜色加以装饰。
It is expected that this project will draw on overseas experience
期望这个项目会利用外国的经验
It’s hoped that as many people as possible can join the volunteers in looking after the
aged 希望尽可能多的人加入志愿者队伍来照顾老人
It is well known that the number of people has been increasing总所周知,人口数量一
直在增加
It is understood that reasonable safety rules of the employer shall be complied with by
all employees 大家都明白所有员工都应该遵守合理的员工安全条例
The number of the young people with poor reading ability in the united states is
incredible :about one in four 大约有1/4的美国青年人阅读能力弱,这简直令人难以置
信
All I knew was the capital of California, because Sacramento was the name of the
street we lived on in Chinatown. 我只知道加州的首府,因为我们在唐人街上住的街
名,就叫萨克拉门托 。
2. It is this largess that accounts for the presence within the city's walls of a
considerable section of the population. 纽约城里相当一部分人正是冲着这份赠礼而
来此落脚的。
3. It is a matter of common experience that bodies are lighter in water than they are in
air. 物体在水中比在空气中轻,这是一种大家共有的经验。
4. It is believed to be natural that more and more engineers have come to prefer
synthetic material to natural material. 越来越多的工程人员渐渐地喜欢用合成材料
而非天然材料,人们认为这是很自然的。
5. When I went down to lunch a few minutes ago I noticed that the man sitting next to
me (about eighteen inches away along the wall) was Fred Stone.几分钟前,我下楼吃
午饭,发现坐在我旁边的竟然是佛瑞德•斯通(他靠墙坐着,离我大约十八英寸远)。
We think it true that the election in Britain is mainly a contest between the two big
parties, Labor and Conservative. 英国的选举主要是工党和保守党两大政党之间的
竞争,我们认为的确如此。
And for that matter I am probably occupying the very room that any number of exalted
and some wise memorable characters sat in. 这样想来,或许有一些显赫的大人物也
曾在我现在栖身的屋子里住过。
In all of my imaginings, I was filled with a sense that I would soon become perfect.
在我所有的美丽幻想中都充满了一种感觉:我立时会变得十分完美。
The spirit is perfect ,but when it inhabits human structures ,it participates in the
imperfect of the latter 精神是完美的,但它栖居到人类肉体结构中后,便参与其中,表
现出后者的不完美。
The youngsters have been devoted cheerleaders of the new video game年轻人一直都
是这种新型视频游戏的忠实粉丝
But the spirit , the inner man ,remains untouched and undefiled by evil
但是精神——内在的人——却仍然免遭邪恶的污染和玷污
It was an experience I will treasure for the rest of my life在我有生之年都将珍惜这次
经历
He’s tired and exhausted, and has been advised to rest for two weeks他很疲惫,别
人都建议他休息两周
The car accelerates rapidly from rest这辆车从静止到加速用时很短
The new phone system uses state-of –the –art technology新的电话系统采用了最先进
的技术

运,将人们连系在一起。我们错过了成千上万的可能的爱人,因为他们早就被正式的或非正
式的挑选理想爱人的准则筛选出局,这些准则包括年龄、种族、地域、社会阶层、宗教、性
倾向、健康状况或外表。
8做瑜伽没有场地的限制,一套瑜伽动作通常需要20 分钟到两个小时或者更多
的时间,而一个小时左右的时间则是一系列动作和冥想的最佳选择。根据瑜伽师
和学派的不同,一些瑜伽动作做起来辛苦异常,而另一些却只是在呼吸和心跳平
稳的情况下调整和伸展肢体。每天练习瑜伽会达到最好的效果,随着动作越来越
熟练,你就可以加大强度和难度这样瑜伽就能成为你相伴终生的日常锻炼方式
了。练习基础的瑜伽动作即可收到增强力量,改善柔韧性并使人感到舒适的效果,
但要想达到完美和高深的境界还是需要日积月累的练习,这也是瑜伽吸引人的地
方之一。

我提到这些,只是想表明,纽约就像是一座用特殊材料建造的城市,它几乎能
够把发生的任何事情(无论是一架一千英尺的班机飞离东区,还是两万个人在西
区集会)吸收掉,而不对它的居民们产生任何影响。因此,从这个意义来说,每
一件事情都是可以任意选择的。纽约人能够在愉快的心情下随意选择他的关注对
象,因此也就保持了他心灵的安宁。
10在大多数或大或小的都会城市里,个人经常是根本没有这种选择权的。他被迫生活在名
流的喧嚣中,名流的信息和各种事件铺天盖地、无孔不入,简直是避无可避。一块瓦片坠落,
会砸到每个市民的头上,是的,砸到城里的每一个人,无人幸免。我有时想,能使每个纽约
人都关注的唯一的一件事,大概要算每年一次的圣.帕特里克游行。它的影响是相当有穿透
力的——其发起者爱尔兰人是个顽固的民族,他们中有500,000人定居在纽约,这其中包
括许多警察,你想置之不理可太难了。
11人性的恒定性是众所周知的,因为没有人相信一个人能够从根本上改变他的本性。这就
是为什么一个恶名远扬的人很难重建公众对他的信心。人们凭经验知道某一年中表现出无赖
性格的人不太可能在第二年有任何改观。小偷也不会变成值得信赖的员工。吝啬鬼也不可能
变成慈善家。一个人也不会在五六十岁的时候变成谎话精、懦夫或叛徒,如果那时候他是,
那么早在他性格形成的时候他就已经是了。大罪犯最初都是小罪犯,正如大橡树最初都是小
橡果。
12我回想起他那时高涨的情绪、他的活力、他对未来的信心,还有他的冷漠。这两个人不
可能是同一个人,然而我确信就是他。我起身付了账,走进广场去找他。我的思绪一片混乱。
我感到惊恐。我绝不会想到他已经沦落到这般可怕的悲惨境地。我问自己发生了什么事,是
什么样的希望迟迟不能实现令他伤心,是什么样的失意将他击垮,是什么样的幻想破灭将他
逼向屈辱?我问自己是否已经无计可施。我绕着广场走着。
13我们还发现,有时看上去类似的汽车可能传达了完全不同的信息,比如英国最好的两种
豪华轿车:宾利公司的“雅致”和劳斯莱斯公司的“幻影”,两者都是高贵而快捷,但它们
却各自吸引了不同类型的客户。
14宾利的买主想要的是低调的、但是可以在几代人之间世代相传的传家宝;有史以来所生
产的宾利,80% 以上至今仍跑在路上。然而,“幻影”的买家却期盼一夜成名,该车的外表
使得它所到之处无不引人注目。
15“未来之宅”于1980年开放,它的设计是为了展示电子改革的现代技术水平。这一铜支
架多棱体建筑占地3,100平方英尺,高高耸立在亚利桑那沙漠之上。房子的南面布满了电
脑控制的太阳能采集装置,室内75%的供暖和95%的热水所需能量由它们供给。房子内部
像它的外表一样令人眩目。目前,“未来之宅”里唯一的常住户是一台计算机。参观者所听
到的单调的欢迎声就是来自于这台独一无二的机器,它由摩托罗拉公司设计,由五台计算机
连成网络,它是这座建筑物的中枢神经。
