21.I had always dreamed of being proposed to in a Parisian cafe, under dazzling stars, like the one in a Van Gogh knockoff that hangs in my studio apartment.Instead, my boyfriend asked me to marry him while I was Windexing the bathroom mirror.2.But the more time and effort I put in, the more the universe tried to thwart me.The Greek band from Los Angeles that I wanted wasn't available.The stitching I had requested for my cathedral veil was all wrong.My ivory silk gown was being quarantined somewhere in Singapore.3.I realized that a Big Day without my mother would be no day at all.Not having my dad, who passed away three years before, to walk me down the aisle was painful, but the thought of not having Mom there was unbearable.4.Our baby sister, who'd been looking after Mom since Dad's death, intensive-care unit, just a few hours after her surgery.She was strung out with a myriad of plastic tubes protruding from her arms, nose, and mouth.“Liz, make sure you eat something,” she said in a strained, raspy voice.6.I've forgotten what kind of stitching is in my veil.But when I remove it from my face, I'll be staring at the two people I love beyond all reason: my soon-to-be husband and the woman(who showed me what's really important.) 1.我一直有这样的昝想: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,我男明友却在我用“稳得新”擦洗卫生间镜子的时候叫我嫁给他。 2.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。 3.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。

no steps to manipulate the levels of nicotine in its cigarettes.2.Dr.Brandt...amply demonstrates that Big Tobacco understood many of the health risks of their products long before the 1964 surgeon general's report.3.Early in the 20th century, opposition to cigarettes took a moral rather than a health-conscious tone, especially for women who wanted to smoke, although even then many doctors were concerned that smoking was a health risk.4.And their marketing memorandums document advertising campaigns aimed at youngsters to hook whole new generations of smokers.5.Instead, these experts focused primarily on a small group of skeptics of the dangers of cigarettes during the 1950s, many of whom had or would eventually have ties to the tobacco industry.6.Last August, she concluded that the tobacco industry had engaged in a 40-year conspiracy to defraud smokers about tobacco's health dangers.1.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。 2.布兰特博士用充足的证据证明,早在1964年的卫生局长报告发表前,各大烟草巨头就已了解了自家产品对健康造成的诸多风险。 3.在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。 4.在他们的营销备忘录中,记录了他们针对青少年发动的广告运动,旨在诱惑一代代的新烟民。

progress, innovation prosperity, there is something not quite right.2.Politicians, obsessed with inputs and outputs, targets and controls, are flummoxed by immeasurable concepts such as the value people place on spending time with their families.3.Another reason is that electoral cycles lend themselves to a culture of short-termism, with a need for immediate, quantifiable measurements and results.4.Today we need to be just as revolutionary to put us back on track to social prosperity: to respond to that yearning for happiness.5.Setting the right framework means creating incentives and removing barriers to remodel the context within which the whole of society makes choices.6.Given our advances in terms of political freedom, economic enterprise and cultural ingenuity, life could, and should, be more satisfying.1.人们很难摆脱这样一种事实:在发达的社会,尽管社会进步,改革日新月异,物质富足,人们却总觉得有些事情不大对劲。 2.政治家们满脑子的投入与产出,目标与调控,而叶于诸如有多看重与家人共度时 光之类的、无法用数字测量的概念,他们往往感到困惑不已 3.另一与之相关的原因是:一轮轮的竞选让他们置身于急功近利的氛围,期待立竿见影的量化的测量手段与结果。

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 West, and past colors present.飞机轻轻地进入香港国际机场做最后的下降。这下面的维多利亚港,停靠着无数沉默伴奏的船只。除此之外,倾斜的山围栏有一个惊人的城市,似乎永远伸展。这绝不是普通的机场,这也绝不是普通的城市。一位上了年纪的人仍穿着睡衣,手里拎着有一个笼子,有只明亮羽毛的鸟在里欢快的歌唱。还有些专业的餐馆聚集在一个路边,面条,粥和虾。香而窄的有小小的寺庙直至还有一片有冲击摇滚音乐的节拍倾泻而出的一个迪斯科舞厅。定期渡轮行驶在附近的海面上,把乘客带到一个孤岛上,40分钟的路程,佛教寺庙和小渔村点缀的景观,这里就是香港,北回归线以南161公里,东南亚跳动的脉搏的心脏。映入眼帘的是东西的文化和新旧色彩的全新呈现。 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 and responsible 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. 第一章 《视窗》这个网站杂志包含世界著名作家的诗歌和文学作品,其中不乏有解释这个世界的发人深思的文章。甚至还有来自联合国秘书长科菲·安南的文章。令我们吃惊的是这个杂志的编辑是一个12岁的小女孩,乔治·南丁格尔。 她因为《视窗》这个杂志而获得1999年有线和无线儿童网络奖项的一等奖,这些奖每年由年轻人颁发给最善于应用网络的年轻人。他们强调虚拟世界是网络最受欢迎的一个方面。孩子们进入到网络空间仿佛他们天生都会使用网络。 或许因为孩子们接受这些技术很自然,而大人不得不需要费一番脑筋才能理解。无论什么原因,但孩子们已经建立起网站并向世界各地的朋友发邮件时,而大人仍在询问“请告诉我一边,网络空间究竟在哪”。 当然,孩子们在网络空间中可以远离父母的监管,这个问题日益受到关注。很多父母为了应对这件事已经安装了可以组织孩子们进入暴力和色情网站的软件。儿童网站采取了更积极的策略,它是一扇通往教育世界和娱乐世界的大门。 网络文化的迅猛发展已经引起分析家的推测:社会很快就会分成两个阵营——信息丰富阵营和信息贫乏阵营。为此儿童网站将尤为重要,为那些因为贫困或者残疾而处在社会边缘的孩子们能在虚拟网络中有机会像一个正常公民一样享受同等权利。 第二章 当你舒服地坐在花园里给你的同时发邮件时,你不需要经历一个难受的旅行去和他们交谈。如果你需要一份重要文件,你可以通过卫星传真到你的手机上,并且可以在笔记本电脑上观看。即是来自其它大洲的文件,你也可以立即接收到它。 随着科技成本的日益降低,生产所有权变成了现实。由于拥有电脑﹑手机﹑传真机﹑打印机作为远程工作者的物质工具,他们变成了真正的电子农民。 像传统农民一样,在同一环境里生活和工作。他们不仅亲手耕耘“土地”,而且收获丰富的脑力资源成果。 然而,没有在第25层楼上的豪华办公室,微型企业家无法证明他们的信誉。无论对和错,人们认为在漂亮的大办公室办公是身份地位的象征。人们想:“如果一个公司能够提供这些,那么,这个公司经营的一定很好”。但是,面对一个人在家中的一间房子里办公时,顾客们倾向于这样想:与他们的接触毕竟不会长远。难道一个在黄金地段拥有一间大办公室的工人才是好的工人么? 事实上,研究表明:家庭工作者一般更加认真地完成任务,并且比在办公室里德同事工作的时间更长。像拥有土地的传统农民一样,他们感觉再为自己工作。 更重要的是,他们不拘泥于计划,当什么时候合适了他们就开始工作。那就意味着他们花一个或者两个小时来陪孩子玩耍,然后熬夜来完成演讲稿,其结果他是一个更加愉快的工作者。 第三章 在1998年年初时,东非本应是最美丽的时候:一般短暂的雨季在十二月份已经结束,水位下降,乡村充满活力;农民种植庄稼,牧民在草地上放牧,游客到处旅游。但今年是不同的,雨季长而且降雨量比较大。在肯尼亚和索马里大部分地区,水蔓延几英里,切断了村庄的联系,迫使牧民将他们的牲畜转移到少数干地上。事情很快变得更糟糕。骆驼、奶牛、绵羊、山羊都开始死于高烧。人也开始得病,一些人暂时性失明,而另一些人流血不止。这种疾病被叫作裂谷热,有蚊子所携带的病毒所致。在非洲,这种疾病每隔几年就会爆发一次——当死水使蚊子大量繁殖时就会爆发,今年裂谷热的爆发也是由于洪水不退引起的。据官方报道至少有89000人得病,其中死亡200人,但是这种病通常不致命。然而牲畜的损失巨大,据牧主称他们损失90%的牲畜。 虽然东非灾难性的洪水已引起世人的关注,但于此同时,别的一些奇怪天气也令人们关注,如不正常的干旱,火灾,暴雨,寒流和热浪。每年都会出现大量反常现象,但今年他们中许多都与太平洋赤道附近的洋面上发生的情况有关,即在1997年的头几个月里洋流和季风开始改变,并且改变了全世界的天气类型。当然,这种天气的改变是厄尔尼诺作用的结果。到1997年底,厄尔尼诺已经众所周知。然而在1988年,厄尔尼诺对全世界的影响达到鼎盛期,它创造了有史以来的最热的天气记录。,除裂谷热外,厄尔尼诺还引起了伤寒、疟疾、登革热等一系列疾病在肯尼亚、柬埔寨、秘鲁和世界其他国家的爆发。 第五章 令人震惊的是宇宙有其自然规律及其法则,这种规律不仅能够定性的而且能够定量概括出其运行规则我们可以想象这样一个宇宙,没有任何规则像我们宇宙一样大由1018基本粒子构成,完全在一种无序的混乱状态下运行,为了了解这个宇宙,我们将需要像这个像宇宙那么大容量的大脑。这样的宇宙似乎也不太可能有生命和智能生物。因为人类和大脑都需要一个稳定且有序的内部结构。但即使在这个非常混乱无序的宇宙中存在比我们高级的智能生物,他们也将不会有太多的知识、激情和喜悦。 幸运的是,我们生活在至少它的重要组成部分是可知的宇宙中。我们常识性的经验和进化史已经让我们去了解到这个世界一些平凡的事情。然而当我们进入其它领域时,常识性的经验和直觉却变得高度不可靠。这是令人震惊的,当我们接近光速时,我们的质量在无限增大,我们的厚度却朝着运动方向零厚度收缩,时间也像我们希望的那样几乎停止。许多人认为这些想法是非常愚蠢的,每一到两星期,我都会收到一封向我质疑的信。但这些确定的事实不仅是实验的结果,也是阿尔伯特爱因斯坦在《相对论》中关于时间和空间的精辟分析的结果。这些影响对于似乎我们不太合理,但这些不重要。我们并没有接近于光速旅行的习惯,在这样的高速运行下,我们的常识也值得怀疑。 这种认为宇宙限制着人类做任何可做的事情的想法是令人沮丧的,为什么我们不能处在中间旋转的位置呢?为什么我们不能超光速旅行呢?但是据我们所知,这就是宇宙的所构筑方式。这种限制不仅使我们在浩瀚的宇宙面前更加渺小,也使整个宇宙更为可知。 第七章 我一直不喜欢作为一个男人。在美国男子气概是可悲的,就像一生穿一件不合体的外套度过一生。甚至 “成为一个男人汉”这样的表述都让我感到侮辱和辱骂。它的意味是:愚蠢,冷漠,顺从,好斗,无思想。男人意味着有男子气概,当考虑男人的时候,怎能不想到男人可怕的勃勃野心呢?然而这时每个男人生命力的一部分。这是一个骇人听闻和极其可怕的谎言。它不仅强调与女人的不同,而且纵容其优越性。从本质上讲,它具有破坏性,既伤害了人与人之间的感情,有危害整个社会。 如果一个年轻人(大部分年轻人都是如此)受到这种概念误导,认为具有男子气概的理想是截然与女人分开,如同野蛮部落的逻辑一样,他终其一生对女人都不了解,认为女人是讨厌的。当然,也有男性所遭受的痛苦折磨的女性版本。它始于一个母亲鼓励小女儿对大人说:“你喜欢我的新裙子吗?”就某种意思来说,女孩一般被教导用彬彬有礼的方式去讨好大人,而男孩则要求像猴子一样顽皮、淘气地面对彼此。一个九岁的俊俏小女孩在微妙的权力游戏中成长为成年女子,她学会依赖男人,打扮入时,并且对男性提出的缺点保持注意力。女人就要像个女人,这需要一个男人作为证明者和诱惑者,而男人气质崇尚独立,与男人为伍。这是荒诞之所在,这也是为什么男人有缺点的原因,因为它否认了男人和女人之间有自然的友谊关系。 很难想象有不轻视女人的男子气概的观念,并且这种观念很早就被灌输。在我到了想跟女孩约会的年纪,也就是13—16的反叛的年龄,我总是被告诉去参加运动,去户外活动,参加童子军,并且不需要读太多的书。第三篇:研究生英语课后翻译unit3
