Frog Story 蛙的故事

A couple of odd things have happened lately. 最近发生了几桩怪事儿。

I have a log cabin in those woods of Northern Wisconsin. I built it by hand and also added a greenhouse to the front of it. It is a joy to live in. In fact, I work out of my home doing audio production and environmental work. As a tool of that trade I have a computer and a studio. 我在北威斯康星州的树林中有一座小木屋。是我亲手搭建的，前面还有一间花房。住在里面相当惬意。实际上我是在户外做音频制作和环境方面的工作——作为干这一行的工具，我还装备了一间带电脑的工作室。

I also have a tree frog that has taken up residence in my studio. 还有一只树蛙也在我的工作室中住了下来。

How odd, I thought, last November when I first noticed him sitting atop my sound-board over my figured that he(and I say he,though I really don’t have a clue if she is a he or vice versa) would be more comfortable in the greenhouse. So I put him in the greenhouse. Back he came. And stayed. After a while I got quite used to the fact that as I would check my morning email and online news, he would be there with me surveying the world. 去年十一月，我第一次惊讶地发现他（只是这样称呼罢了，事实上我并不知道该称“他”还是“她”）坐在电脑的音箱上。我把他放到花房里去，认为他待在那儿会更舒服一些。可他又跑回来待在原地。很快我就习惯了有他做伴，清晨我上网查收邮件和阅读新闻的时候，他也在一旁关注这个世界。

Then, last week, as he was climbing around looking like a small gray / green human, I started to wonder about him. 可上周，我突然对这个爬上爬下的“小绿人或小灰人”产生了好奇心。

So, there I was, working in my studio and my computer was humming had to stop when Tree Frog went across my stopped and turned around and just sat there looking at ,I sat back and looked at him. For five months now he had been riding there with me and I was suddenly overtaken by an urge to know why he was there and not in the greenhouse,where I figured he’d live a happier frog life. 于是有一天，我正在工作室里干活，电脑嗡嗡作响。当树蛙从我面前爬过时，我不得不停止工作。他停下了并转过身来，坐在那儿看着我。好吧，我也干脆停下来望着他。五个月了，他一直这样陪着我。我突然有一股强烈的欲望想了解他：为什么他要待在这儿而不乐意待在花房里我认为对树蛙来说，花房显然要舒适得多。

“Why are you here,” I found myself asking him. “你为什么待在这儿”我情不自禁地问他。

As I looked at him, dead on, his eyes looked directly at me and I heard a tone. The tone seemed to hit me right in the center of my mind. It sounded very nearly like the same one as my computer. In that tone I could hear him “say” to me, “Because I want you to understand.” Yo. That was weird. “Understand what” my mind jumped in. Then, after a moment of feeling this communication, I felt I understood why he was there. I came to understand that frogs simply want to hear other frogs and to

communicate. Possibly the tone of my computer sounded to him like other tree frogs. 我目不转睛地盯着他，他也直视着我。然后我听到一种叮咚声。这种声音似乎一下子就进入了我的大脑中枢，因为它和电脑里发出来的声音十分接近。在那个声音里我听到树蛙对我“说”：“因为我想让你明白”。唷，太不可思议了。“明白什么”我脑海中突然跳出了这个问题。然后经过短暂的体验这种交流之后，我觉得我已经理解了树蛙待在这儿的原因。我开始理解树蛙只是想听到其他同类的叫声并与之交流。或许他误以为计算机发出的声音就是其他树蛙在呼唤他。

Interesting. 真是有趣。

I kept working. I was working on a story about global climate change and had just received a fax from a friend. The fax said that the earth is warming at degrees each decade. At that rate I knew that the maple trees that I love to tap each spring for syrup would not survive for my children. My beautiful Wisconsin would become a prairie by the next generation. 我继续工作。我正在写一个关于全球气候变化的故事。有个朋友刚好发过来一份传真，说地球的温度正以每十年度的速度上升。我知道，照这种速度下去，每年春天我都爱去提取树浆的这片枫林，到我孩子的那一代就将不复存在。我的故乡美丽的威斯康星州也会在下一代变成一片草原。

At that moment Tree Frog leaped across my foot and sat on the floor in front of my computer. He then reached up his hand to his left ear and cupped it there. He sat before the computer and reached up his right hand to his other ear. He turned his head this way and that listening to that tone. Very focused. He then began to turn a very subtle, but brilliant shade of green and leaped full force onto the computer. 此刻，树蛙从我脚背跳过去站在电脑前的地板上。然后他伸出手来从后面拢起左耳凝神倾听，接着他又站在电脑前伸出右手拢起另一支耳朵。他这样转动着脑袋，聆听那个声音，非常专心致志。他的皮肤起了微妙的变化，呈现出一种亮丽的绿色，然后他就用尽全力跳到电脑上。

And then I remembered the story about the frogs that I had heard last year on public radio. It said frogs were dying around the world. It said that because frogs’skin is like a lung turned inside out, their skin was being affected by pollution and global climate change. It said that frogs were being found whose skin was like paper. All dried up. It said that frogs are an “indicator species”. That frogs will die first because of the sensitivity. 我猛然想起去年在收音机里听到的一则关于青蛙的消息，说是全世界的青蛙正在死亡。消息说因为青蛙的皮肤就像是一个内里朝外的肺，所以正在受到污染和全球气候变化的影响。据说已经发现有些青蛙的皮肤已变得像纸一样干瘪。还说青蛙是一个“物种指示器”，由于对环境敏感，这个物种会先遭灭顶之灾。

Then, I understood. 这时我明白了。

The frogs have a message for us and it is the same message that some sober folks have had for us. “There are no more choices.” We have reached the time when we must be the adults for the planet, for the sake of the future generations of humans and for frogs. 青蛙向我们传递了一个信息。一些头脑清醒的人士也曾向我们传递过同样的信息，那就是“我们别无选择。”我们已经进入了关键时刻，为了人类的子孙后代，也为青蛙，我们必须对这个星球负起主人的责任。

Because we are related. 因为我们休戚相关。

Then I understood that there are no boundaries, that there is no more time. 我还明白了我们之间没有界限，明白了时间的紧迫。

That we, for the sake of our relatives, must act now. 为了我们的亲人，我们必须马上行动起来。

And then I understood, not only why the frog was there, but, also why I am here. 于是我明白了这只青蛙此行的目的，也知道自己在这儿该做些什么。

Passage B

Mission Zero 归零使命

Ray C. Anderson (July 28, 1934 - August 8, 2011) was founder and chairman of Interface, Inc., one of the world’s largest manufacturers of modular carpet for commercial and residential applications. He was “known in environmental circles for his advanced and progressive stance on industrial ecology and sustainability.”雷C安德森（1934年7月28日—2011年8月8日）——是全球最大的商业和住宅用拼块式地毯制造商之一——英特飞有限公司的创始人和董事长。他因在“工业生态和可持续发展方面表现出的先进和发展的立场而闻名于环保界”。

“If it exists, it must be possible”, asserts Amory Lovins1, co-founder and chief scientist of the Rocky Mountain Institute2 think tank. He is talking about my company. Fellow industrialists, I dare say, thought my ambition impossible to realize when fourteen years ago I described my aspirations for Interface Inc. to turn into what it actually is becoming today. Indeed, around then, the CEO of a major competitor looked at me in the eye, and said, “Ray, you are a dreamer.” Yet, as Amory says, “If it exists …”“如果有其存在，就必然有其可能，”落基山研究所智囊团的联合创始人和首席科学家艾默里洛文斯如此断言道。他说的正是我的公司。我敢说，当十四年前我描述我的志向，要把英特飞公司变成它今天正在呈现的模样时，各位实业家同人都认为我的雄心壮志根本不可能实现。事实上，一个主要竞争对手的总裁当时就瞪着我说：“雷，你是一个梦想家。”然而，正如艾默里所说，“如果有其存在......”

The “impossible”that exists today is a petroleum-intensive carpet manufacturer (for both energy and raw material) that has reduced net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 88 percent, in absolute tons, and its water usage by 79 percent since 1996, even as sales have grown by two-thirds and earnings have doubled. In 1994 Interface set out on a mission “to be the first industrial company that, by its deeds, shows the entire industrial world what sustainability is, in all its dimensions: people, process, product, profit, and place.”Our definition of sustainability is to operate our petro-intensive company so as to take from the Earth only that which is naturally and rapidly renewable, and to do no harm to the biosphere. 今天存在的这个“不可能”是一家（在能源和原材料方面）高度依赖石油的地毯制造商，从1996年至今将温室气体净排放量减少了88%（以实打实的吨数计），用水量减少了79%，而销售额却反而增加了三分之二，收益翻了一番。英特飞于1994年开始完成一项使命，力争“成为首家生态实业公司，通过自己的所作所为向整个实业界全方位地展现可持续性发展的

理念：涵盖人员、生产过程、产品、利润、地点等各个方面。”我们对持续性发展的定义是：我们这家高度依赖石油的公司，坚持其运营只从地球获取可以自然而快速再生的资源，并且不对生态造成危害。

Cumulatively, we have avoided $372 million in costs by eliminating waste, in a quest that is half way to achieving waste-free perfection by 2020. We define waste as any cost that does not add value for our customers. This translates ambitiously into doing everything right the first time, every time. We even define energy that still comes from fossil fuels as waste, something to be eliminated. Indeed, while offsets have a critical role to play in helping Interface (and, indeed, all of us) to reach our sustainability goals, we will not achieve them until we begin to redefine fossil fuel energy in this way. Sounds incredible Remember, “If it exists …”. 通过消除浪费，我们已经累计降低了3亿7千2百万美元的成本，正在向2020年力争达到零浪费的完美目标迈进。我们对浪费的定义是：凡是不能给客户带来价值的花费都是浪费。这一定义雄心勃勃地转化为行动理念：做任何事情都要一开始就做对，而且每次如此。我们甚至把依然取自化石燃料的能源也定义为浪费，并作为要消除的对象。通过减少浪费而获得的补偿确实起了关键性作用，有助于英特飞（其实也包括所有公司）达到可持续发展目标；如果我们不这样重新定义化石燃料能源，我们就不可能最终实现可持续发展的目标。听上去有些不可思议请记住，“如果有其存在......”

Indeed our belching smokestacks, our gushing effluent pipes, our mountains of waste — all completely legal — provided tangible proof that business was good. They meant jobs, orders coming in, products going out, and money in the bank. 的确，我们的烟囱烟雾腾腾，我们的管道污水喷涌，我们的废料堆积如山——所有这一切都完全合法——这是我们生意兴隆的确凿证据。这就说明有业可就，订单滚滚而来，产品源源出厂，以及利润存入银行。

That all changed with a question that came from our customers: “What is Interface doing for the environment” We had not heard that question before, and had no good answers. For a “customer-intimate” company, this was untenable. Looking for an answer —and a determination to respond with credible, demonstrable, and measurable results and transparent accountability — set us on this course. 所有这一切都因消费者提的一个问题而改变：“英特飞对环境有何贡献”这个问题我们以前闻所未闻，更无法交出满意的答案。对于一个善待消费者的公司而言，这是难以交代的。为寻求答案，还有决意给消费者提供一个可信、可见和可考量的结果并承担明晰的责任，我们踏上了征途。

Can taking a profitable business apart at the height of its success make business sense The waste elimination initiative alone —and the avoided costs of $372 million over 13 years — have more than offset all the investments and expenses incurred in pursuit of our goal which we now call “Mission Zero”: zero environmental impacts by the year 2020. This has allowed the business case for sustainability to develop and become crystal clear. Costs are down, not up — dispelling a myth and exposing the false choice between the environment and the economy. 将一个处

于鼎盛时期的赢利企业拆卸分解，从商业的角度看合理吗仅消除浪费这一项行动，以及13年来因此而节约下来的3亿7千2百万美元的成本，不仅抵消而且超出了我们在追求持续发展目标方面的投资和花费总额。我们现在将此目标命名为“归零使命”：到2020年实现对环境的零影响。“归零使命”使这个可持续性发展的实业案例得以发展，并变得清澈透明。成本下降了，并非上升了，一个虚构的理念就此打破，让我们看到在环境和经济之间并非必然就是择此伤彼的虚假选择。

Amazingly, this initiative has produced a better business model, a better way to bigger and more legitimate profits. It out-competes its competitors in the rough and tumble of the marketplace, but not at the expense of the Earth or future generations. Instead it includes Earth and generations not yet born in win-win-win relationships. As validation of this, the Interface share price has moved from $2 to $20 in four years, as we have dug out of the deepest, longest recession in our industry’s history, a recession we might not have survived without the enormous boost of sustainability. 令人惊讶的是，这一创举产生了一个更好的商业模式，找到了一个可获取更大利润，并且收入更加合法的更好的途径。这种模式在激烈残酷的市场竞争中击败了它的所有对手，却并不以伤害地球或后代的利益为代价。相反，这种模式将地球和尚未出生的后代纳入一种三赢的关系。作为证明，英特飞的股价四年内从2美元攀升至20美元，公司也从产业史上影响最深、持续最久的经济衰退中脱险而出。如果没有可持续性发展的极大推动，我们也许无法在这场经济衰退中存活下来。

But, what about the big picture What does the Interface journey have to teach us A sustainable society into the indefinite future depends totally and absolutely on a vast, ethically driven redesign of the industrial system, triggered by an equally vast mind-shift — one mind at a time, one organization at a time, one technology at a time, one building, one company, one university curriculum, one community, one region, one industry at a time — until the entire system has been transformed into a sustainable one existing ethically in balance with Earth’s natural systems, upon which every living thing, even civilization itself, utterly depends. 但是，怎样从全局来看呢英特飞的历程能给我们带来什么启迪一个可持续发展的社会要想久远维系，就需要全方位地、彻头彻尾地对工业体系进行庞大的、由道德驱动的重新设计，这要由同样庞大的思想认识转变来启动，即一次改变一个想法、一个机构、一项技术、一座建筑、一家公司、一所大学的课程、一个社区、一个地区、一个行业，直到整个体系转变成为一个可持续发展的，在道德准则上能与地球生态系统和谐相处的体系，这才是所有的生物，乃至文明本身完全赖以生存的基础。

One person, you, can make the difference in your organization. The key is: Do something, then do something else. 即使一个人，你本人，也能在你的机构中发挥作用。关键是：行动起来先做一件事，接着再做另一件。

Passage A

Einstein’s Compass爱因斯坦的指南针

Young Albert was a quiet boy. “Perhaps too quiet”, thought Hermann and Pauline Einstein. He spoke hardly at all until age 3. They might have thought him slow, but there was something else evident. When he did speak, he’d say the most unusual things. At age 2, Pauline promised him a surprise. Albert was excited, thinking she was bringing him some new fascinating toy. But when his mother presented him with his new baby sister Maja, all Albert could do was stare with questioning eyes. Finally he responded, “where are the wheels”小爱因斯坦是个安静的孩子。爱因斯坦夫妇赫尔曼和波琳认为他“或许太安静了”。爱因斯坦直到三岁时还很少开口说话。父母差点就误认为他是反应迟钝，但有一个明显的事实打消了他们的疑虑，因为当他真的开口说话时，说出的话便异乎寻常。两岁时，母亲波琳许诺给他一个惊喜。小爱因斯坦非常高兴，以为妈妈会带给他一件有趣的新玩具。但当妈妈把刚出生的妹妹玛嘉抱到他面前时，小爱因斯坦只是以疑虑的眼光盯着她，最后说道，“轮子在哪儿”

When Albert was 5 years old and sick in bed, Hermann Einstein brought him a device that did stir his intellect . It was the first time he had seen a compass. He lay there shaking and twisting the odd thing, certain he could fool it into pointing off in a new direction. But try as he might, the compass needle would always find its way back to pointing in the direction of north. “A wonder,” he thought. The invisible force that guided the compass needle was evidence to Albert that there was more to our world than meets the eye. There was “something behind things, something deeply hidden.”爱因斯坦五岁的时候有一次卧病在床，父亲赫尔曼送给他一个新玩意儿。正是这个小玩意开启了他的智力。那是小爱因斯坦第一次见到指南针。他躺在床上摇晃摆弄着这个稀奇的东西，认为自己能将指针糊弄到指向另一个方向。但是无论他怎样摆弄，指针却总是会回到原来指北的位置。“真奇妙”，他想。引导指南针的无形力量使爱因斯坦认识到，我们肉眼看到的只是世界的一部分，事物背后还有“某种东西，某种深藏着的东西”。

So began Albert Einstein’s journey down a road of exploration that he would follow the rest of his life. “I have no special gift,” he would say, “I am only passionately curious.”阿尔伯特爱因斯坦就这样踏上了他穷其一生的探索之路。“我没有特殊的天分”，他常常说，“我只是有强烈的好奇心。”

Albert Einstein was more than just curious though. He had the patience and determination that kept him at things longer than most others. Other children would build houses of cards up to 4 stories tall before the cards would lose balance and

the whole structure would come falling down. Maja watched in wonder as her brother Albert methodically built his card buildings to 14 stories. Later he would say, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”爱

因斯坦不仅仅只是有好奇心。他的耐心和毅力使他做起事情来能比大多数人都更持久。其他

孩子用纸牌搭楼房，搭到四层高时房子就会失去平衡而坍塌下来。而玛嘉却惊奇地看着她哥

哥阿尔伯特能有条不紊地搭起14层的纸牌高楼。后来爱因斯坦说道，“这不是因为我有多

聪明，而是因为我能坚持得更久。”

One advantage Albert Einstein’s developing mind enjoyed was the opportunity to communicate with adults in an intellectual way. His uncle, an engineer, would come to the house, and Albert would join in the discussions. His thinking was also stimulated by a medical student who came over once a week for dinner and lively chats. 阿尔伯特爱因斯坦的思维发展得益于他有机会与成人进行智力交流。他的叔叔是工程师，经

常到爱因斯坦家里来，于是爱因斯坦就有机会参与他们的讨论。爱因斯坦的思想还受到一位

医科学生的启迪。此人每星期都来爱因斯坦家一次，与爱因斯坦一家共进晚餐，一起谈天说地。

At age 12, Albert Einstein came upon a set of ideas that impressed him as “holy.”It was a little book on Euclidean plane1 geometry. The concept that one could prove theorems of angles and lines that were in no way obvious made an “indescribable impression” on the young student. He adopted mathematics as the tool he would use to pursue his curiosity and prove what he would discover about the behavior of the universe. 爱因斯坦12岁的时候发现了一系列他认为是“神圣”的观念。那是一本有

关欧几里得平面几何的小册子。原来人可以证明那些不易明显看出的角度和线段的定理。这

个想法给年轻学生爱因斯坦留下了“难以形容的印象”。他把数学当做满足自己好奇心并用

以证明他后来发现宇宙运行规律的手段。

He was convinced that beauty lies in the simplistic. Perhaps this insight was the real power of his genius. Albert Einstein looked for the beauty of simplicity in the apparently complex nature and saw truths that escaped others. While the expression of his mathematics might be accessible to only a few sharp minds in the science, Albert could condense the essence of his thoughts so anyone could understand. 他坚信美丽寓于简朴。或许这个悟性才是激发他天分的真正力量所在。阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦

在表象复杂的大自然中寻求简朴的美，并发现别人看不到的真理。爱因斯坦用数学公式表达

的思想也许只有少数才思敏锐的科学家才能理解，但他却能简洁地阐明自己思想之精髓，使

人人都能够理解。

For instance, his theories of relativity revolutionized science and unseated the laws of Newton that were believed to be a complete description of nature for hundreds of years. Yet when pressed for an example that people could relate to, he came up with this: “Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. THAT’s relativity.”比如说，他的相对论推翻了数百年来一直被认为是完整地描述了自然界

一切规律的牛顿定律，给科学界带来了一场彻底的变革。但是当有人敦促他举例说明，以便

让大众能理解相对论时，他说：“把手放在烫人的炉上时，一分钟就像是一个小时。坐在漂亮姑娘的身边，一个小时就像是一分钟。这就是相对论。”

Albert Einstein’s wealth of new ideas peaked while he was still a young man of 26. In 1905 he wrote 3 fundamental papers on the nature of light (a proof of atoms), the special theory of relativity and the famous equation of atomic power: E=mc . For the next 20 years, the curiosity that was sparked by wanting to know what controlled the compass needle and his persistence to keep pushing for the simple answers led him to connect space and time and find a new state of matter. 阿尔伯特?爱因斯坦的创新思维在年仅26岁时就达到了高峰。1905年他写了三篇重要的论文，分别是关于光的本质（证明原子存在）、相对论以及着名的原子能等式：E=mc².。在随后的20年里，正是由于想知道是什么力量控制了指南针的指向所激发的这份好奇心以及坚持追求简单答案的毅力，引导他将空间与时间联系起来思考问题，由此发现了一种崭新的物质状态。

What was his ultimate quest 他追寻的最终目标是什么呢

“I want to know how God created this world ... I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details.”“我想知道上帝是怎样创造世界的我想知道他的思路；其余的就都是细枝末节了。”

Passage B

The Wake-up Call from Stockholm来自斯德哥尔摩的唤醒电话

“These are the last 20 minutes of peace in your life,” the Swedish caller told Caltech professor Ahmed Zewail at 5:40 . on October 12. 10月12日凌晨5:40，加州理工学院的阿莫德?扎威尔教授接到了一个来自瑞典的电话，告诉他“你这辈子只有这20分钟的清静时间了”。

Soon the world would hear of Zewail’s award — the 1999 Nobel Prize in chemistry — and Zewail would hear from the world. Two thousand e-mails would zoom his way within a few days and three phone lines would start ringing with eager requests for interviews from the national and Egyptian press and with congratulations from friends and colleagues. But first, the 53-year-old man would share the news with his family. 全世界很快就会知道扎威尔获得了1999年度的诺贝尔化学奖，接着，扎威尔就会收到世界各地的来信。几天之内，2000封电子邮件将蜂拥而至；三部电话都将响个不停，美国和埃及的媒体将纷纷打来电话，急切要求对他进行采访；朋友和同事也会不断

打来恭贺电话。但是现在，这位53岁的男子首先要与家人共享这条喜讯。

He kissed his wife, Dema, and young sons, Nabeel and Hani. His mother, whom Zewail reached in his native Egypt, cried and cried. His daughters, Maha and Amani, “were going crazy on the phone. I couldn’t even speak,” said Zewail. 扎威尔亲吻了妻子德玛和两个小儿子纳比尔和哈尼。当他把这个消息告知远在家乡埃及的母亲时，她禁不住喜极而泣。扎威尔说，他的两个女儿玛哈和阿曼妮“从电话里一听到这个消息，就高兴得快疯了。我甚至连话都没法讲下去了”。

“I was disappointed in Nabeel’s reaction,” he added. “I told him I had won the prize. He said, ‘Good.’” But when Zewail asked if he’d tell the kids at school, the six-year-old said, “No. These guys will say ‘So what’” But Nabeel did ask, “Are we going to see the king”“纳比尔的反应让我有些失望，”他补充道。“我告诉他我获得了诺贝尔奖。他却只说了一声‘不错’。”当扎威尔问他是否会把这个消息告诉他学校里的小伙伴们时，这个六岁的小家伙答道：“不会。那些家伙只会说‘那又怎样’”不过纳比尔倒还确实问过“我们要去见国王吗”

The Royal Swedish Academy honored Zewail for his groundbreaking work in viewing and studying chemical reactions at the atomic level as they occur. He has shown “that it is possible with rapid laser technique to see how atoms in a molecule move during a chemical reaction.”瑞典皇家科学院因扎威尔在观察和研究原子层面所发生的化学反应方面所作的开创性工作而授予他诺贝尔化学奖。他向世人证明，“利用快速的激光技术有可能观察到在发生化学反应时，分子中的原子是怎样运动的。”

Zewail had brought the most powerful tools from the field of physics into the chemistry lab to create a revolution, and the field of femto-chemistry1 was born. It was “a revolution in chemistry and related sciences,” the Swedes announced, “since this type of investigation allows us to understand and predict important reactions,” to probe nature at its most fundamental level. 扎威尔将物理领域内最有威力的仪器引进化学实验室，从而引发了一场革命，超微（千万亿分之一）化学从此诞生。瑞典发布人说，这是“化学及相关学科领域的一场革命，因为这种研究方法使我们能够了解并预测重要的化学反应，能从自然界最基础的层面探测自然。”

Zewail is the 27th Caltech faculty member or alumnus to receive the Nobel Prize, and the third faculty member to be so honored in this decade. 扎威尔是加州理工学院教师及校友中第27位获得诺贝尔奖的人，同时也是最近十年里第三位获此殊荣的学院教师。

“In my experience,” said Zewail after a tumultuous week, “whenever you cross fields or bring in new ideas and tools, you find what you don’t expect. You open new windows.”在经过了一周的激动和忙乱之后，扎威尔说：“根据我的经验，无论你在什么时候跨越学科或引进新的观点和仪器，你都会得到意想不到的发现，因为你开启了新的窗口。”

Zewail’s path to the forefront of the international science arena has been elegant

and swift, like the atoms he observes performing molecular dances. With a wealth of experience in home chemistry projects as a boy in Egypt, he sailed to the top of his class at Alexandria University. The classical science education he received there prepared him for a promised tenure-track2 position in the field of his choice: math, physics, chemistry, or geology, but he decided to get his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania — to “see the molecular world of chemistry.” He had heard of Caltech, but to this young Egyptian, “institute” sounded less prestigious than “university.” As it turned out, Penn provided the “ideal” transition from classical science studies to the postdoctoral work he did at UC Berkeley. 扎威尔走向国际科学领域前沿的道路快捷而别具特色，正如他所观察的原子跳出的分子舞步一样优美。年轻时，扎威尔在埃及国内进行了很多化学实验，并由此获得了丰富的经验，这些经验使他在就读亚历山大大学时成绩在班上名列前茅。他在亚历山大大学接受的正统理科教育本可使他在数、理、化、地质等任一领域中获得一个极有发展前途的终身教授职位。不过他最终还是决定去宾夕法尼亚大学攻读博士学位，“去见识一下化学的分子世界。”扎威尔以前也曾听说过加利福尼亚理工学院，但当时这位年轻的埃及人认为，“学院”的名字听上去没有“大学”响亮。事实证明，在扎威尔从正统理科研究转向他后来在加州大学伯克利分校的博士后科研过程中，宾夕法尼大学起到了“理想的”的过渡作用。

He stayed at Berkeley for postdoctoral work for two reasons: to think more about research rather than about getting a PhD and “the secret reason — I wanted to buy a big American car to take back to Egypt with me.” At Berkeley, he published three papers “immediately” and was advised to apply to the top handful of American universities. 扎威尔留在伯克利分校做博士后研究有两个原因：一是想搞科研而非仅仅得到博士学位；另一个“私下的原因是我想买一辆美国大轿车带回埃及去”。他一到伯克利分校就“立即”发表了三篇论文，当时有人就建议他与美国不多的几所顶尖大学联系深造。

“The most important reason why I decided on Caltech was, once the offer was made, I was well received by the staff, administration, and faculty.” He also felt he could make his own way specializing in dynamics in a department strong on structure. And the Mediterranean climate3 didn’t hurt. That was 1976. “我决定去加州理工学院的最重要的原因是，我的申请一提出，就受到了全院教职员工、领导和系里的热烈欢迎。”同时他认为，在一个以结构研究见长的系里，自己能在专攻动力学方面取得成功。并且，加利福尼亚的地中海气候也令人惬意。那是发生在1976年的事情。

Zewail was off and running, earning tenure in a year and a half, making full professorship by 1982, seated in the Pauling Chair4 by 1990. Now with a Nobel Prize under his belt, what’s next “First of all, I’m not retiring,” he said. “And I’m not going to Hollywood.”扎威尔的事业可谓一帆风顺。他在加利福尼亚理工学院工作一年半后就获得了终身教席，1982年被聘为正教授，1990年获泡令首席教授荣誉。如今他又将诺贝尔奖揽入囊中，下一步他该干些什么呢“首先，我还不会退休，”扎威尔说。“而且我也不会去好莱坞。”

In the coming years, Zewail looks forward to more breakthroughs. He will remain active in research and in publishing papers, which he considers to be his babies

(363 to date). Tracking the progress of two papers within a week of receiving the prize, he reached a surprised editor who said, “You on the phone Impossible! I thought you’d be out wining and dining.” He will continue to push the envelope of what is possible. 扎威尔期望今后几年里能再有突破性的成果。他将继续活跃在科研领域、积极发表论文，他视其论文如自己的儿女（迄今为止他已经发表了363篇论文）。在获得诺贝尔奖后不到一个星期内，扎威尔就打电话给编辑追问两篇论文的进展情况，这让编辑大为惊讶，问道：“是你在给我打电话吗不可能吧！我想你一定出去喝酒赴宴了。”他将继续尽力去揭示尚待研发的领域的奥秘。

Lesson One: The Time Message Elwood N, Chapman 新的学习任务开始之际，千头万绪，最重要的是安排好时间，做时间的主人。本文作者提出了7点具体建议，或许对你有所启迪。 1 Time is tricky. It is difficult to control and easy to waste. When you look a head, you think you have more time than you need. For Example,at the beginning of a semester, you may feel that you have plenty of time on your hands, but toward the end of the term you may suddenly find that time is running out. You don't have enough time to cover all your duties (duty), so you get worried. What is the answer? Control! 译：时间真是不好对付，既难以控制好，又很容易浪费掉，当你向前看时，你觉得你的时间用不完。例如，在一个学期的开始，你或许觉得你有许多时间，但到学期快要结束时，你会突然发现时间快用光了，你甚至找不出时间把所有你必须干的事情干完，这样你就紧张了。答案是什么呢？控制。 2 Time is dangerous. If you don't control it, it will control you. I f you don't make it work fo r you, it will work against you. So you must become the master of time, not its servant. As a first-year college student, time management will be your number one Problem. 译：时间是危险的，如果你控制不了时间，时间就会控制你，如果你不能让时间为你服务，它就会起反作用。所以，你必须成为时间的主人，而不是它的奴仆，作为刚入学的大学生，妥善安排时间是你的头等大事。 3 Time is valuable. Wasting time is a bad habit. It is like a drug. The more time you waste,the easier it is to go on wasting time. If seriously wish to get the most out of college, you must put the time message into practice. 译：时间是珍贵的，浪费时间是个坏习惯，这就像毒品一样，你越浪费时间，就越容易继续浪费下去，如果你真的想充分利用上大学的机会，你就应该把利用时间的要旨付诸实践。 Message1. Control time from the beginning. 4 Time is today, not tomorrow or next week. Start your plan at the Beginning of the term. 译：抓紧时间就是抓紧当前的时间，不要把事情推到明天或是下周，在学期开始就开始计划。 Message2. Get the notebook habit. 5 Go and buy a notebook today, Use it to plan your study time each day. Once a weekly study plan is prepared, follow the same pattern every week with small changes. Sunday is a good day to make the Plan for the following week.

A Pyment Greater Than Money 比金钱更重要的东西 1A Pyment Greater Than Money 比金钱更重要的东西 When I was 14 , I earned money in the summer by mowing lawns , and I got to know people by the flowers I had to remember not to cut down , by the things stuck in the ground on purpose or by the things lost in the grass . I also learned something about my neighbors in Louisville , Ky. , by their preferred method of payment : by the job , the month -- or not at all . 在十四岁的时候，我利用暑假时间给人割杂草挣点零花钱，通过这个机会，我接触了形形色色的人，有的人告诉我割草时不许伤害园子里的花，有的人故意给地里插些东西，有的人在园子的草地上丢了东西。我还通过付款方式了解了我肯塔基州路易维尔的邻居们，他们有的按照工作量付钱，有的按月付，有的干脆不给钱。 2Mr Ballou fell into the last category , and he always had a reason. One day he had nothing smaller than a fifty . On another he was flat-out of checks ; on another he was simply not home when I knocked on his door . Still , except for the money , he was a nice enough old guy , always waving or tipping his hat when he'd seen me from a distance . I figured him for a thin retirement check , maybe an injury that kept him doing his own yardwork . I kept a running total , but didn't worry about the amount too much . Grass was grass , and the little that was Mr Ballou's didn't take long to trim. 巴卢先生属于最后一种人，而且他总是有不付钱的借口。有时是因为他没有少于五十美分的零钱，有时是因为支票上没钱，有时当我敲门时他根本不在家。不过，除了不给钱外，他还是个很不错的老人，每次总是在很远的地方看见我就挥挥他的帽子，或用手指碰一下他的帽檐，跟我打招呼。我猜想他一定只有微薄的退休金，很有可能是因为受过伤所以不能干院里的杂活。我坚持了整整一个暑假，但是并不很担心他欠我的钱。他园子里的杂草还是像过去一样的疯长，隔上好久巴卢先生才清理一次。 3Then one late afternoon in mid-July I was walking by his house , and he motioned me to come inside . The hall was cool , shaded , and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the muted light. 4" I owe you , " Mr Ballou began , " but...." 5I thought I'd save him the trouble of thinking up a new excuse . "No problem. Don't worry about it." 后来，在七月中旬的一个傍晚，我路过他门前时，他招呼我进去。他房子的大厅又冷又暗，过了几分钟我才渐渐适应了屋内昏暗的光线。 "我还欠你钱呢，"他跟我说到，"不过....." 我想我还是不用让他劳神想个借口了,就说:"没关系的,不要紧."

新职业英语·职业综合英语课文翻译 第一课谷歌 上过互联网的人都见过谷歌，许多人要在互联网上查找某方面的信息时，他们都会去“谷歌”一下。作为全世界最有名的互联网搜索引擎，谷歌是网络业界功成名就的最好范例之一。 谷歌始于1996年1月斯坦福大学博士生拉里?佩奇的一个研究项目。为了找到一种能帮助网络用户搜索到相关网页的更好方法，佩奇设想可以通过检索网页之间的关系来实现。他认为其他网页链接最多的那些网页一定是最受欢迎的，这项技术结果看起来是成功的。 佩奇和他的合作伙伴谢尔盖?布林于1998年9月7日创建了自己的公司，并在之后的一周注册了https://www.sodocs.net/doc/4f3984813.html,这一网址。这个搜索引擎很快声名鹊起，2000年谷歌开始在自己的网站出售广告。在投资者的热情资助下，经过几年的发展，谷歌上市了，谷歌的很多雇员一夜之间成了百万富翁。 谷歌最近收购了互联网最大的视频共享网站https://www.sodocs.net/doc/4f3984813.html,，而且每天都在不断增加一些新功能，如工具栏、邮件和广告。当然，成长与成功也带来了竞争。微软最近就试图收购雅虎以便能在互联网搜索引擎领域与谷歌抗衡。 随着公司的壮大与知名度的提高，谷歌在美国公司就业吸引力的排名也上升到第一。他们尝试打破传统的办公室设计，努力把办公室变成员工感觉舒适、并能充分发挥自己才华的地方。 现在，谷歌已拥有YouTube、Blogger和其他一些热门网站，并且成为网络广告收入方面的领头羊。当初两个学生的一个小点子已发展成为一家拥有十亿美元资产的大公司，谷歌也成为全球最著名的商标之一。谷歌的发展史为当今的网络企业家树立了一个完美的典范，也提供了灵感。 第二课秘书 秘书可能会有很多其他不同的头衔，例如行政助理、文员或私人助理。尽管所有这些头衔都以行政工作为主旨，但它们却反映了不同种类的秘书工作。秘书岗位十分古老，例如，古希腊和罗马的商人和政客们就曾雇用私人秘书和文员来管理他们的事务。 秘书的工作就是使办公室顺利运转。秘书的职责范围很广，依据他们所在办公室的不同而各异。就最低要求来说，秘书要处理信函，跟踪日程安排，管理文件系统，操作电话、传真机、复印机等办公设备。许多秘书还要接听电话，并将其转给适当的人员。有些秘书还要负责办公室用品的采购，他们也可能会处理预算、簿记和人事文档。秘书应当具备使用电脑和其他电子设备的经验，因为他们将处理大量的电子资料，包括往来信函。

human creations, language may be the most remarkable. Through language we share experience, values, exchange ideas, transmit knowledge, and sustain culture. Indeed, language is vital to sense of reality by giving meaning to events. 在人类所有的创造中，语言也许是影响最为深远的。我们用语言来分享经验，表达(传递？)价值观，交换想法，传播知识，传承文化。事实上，对语言本身的思考也是至关重要的。和通常所认为的不同的是，语言并不只是简单地反映现实，语言在具体描述事件的时候也在帮助我们建立对现实的感知。——语序的调整。 Good speakers have respect for language and know how it works. Words are the tools of a speaker?s craft. They have special uses, just like the tools of any other profession. As a speaker, you should be aware of the meaning of words and know how to use language accurately, clearly,vividly,and appropriately. 好的演讲者对语言很重视，也知道如何让它发挥更好的效果。词语是演讲者演讲的重要“武器”，具有特殊的用途，这和任何其他的工作技艺没什么两样。作为演讲者，必须知道词语的具体含义，也要懂得如何做到用词准确、清晰、生动、适当。 Using language accurately is as vital to a speaker as using numbers accurately to a accountant. Never use a word unless you are sure of its meaning. If you are not sure, look up the word in the dictionary. As you prepare your speeches, ask yourself constantly, “What do I really want to say? What do I really mean?” Choose words that are precise and accurate. 演讲者准确地使用语言和会计准确使用数字是一样重要的。确定词意后再措词。如果不确定，请先查词典。当你在准备演讲的时候，要不断地问自己：“我到底要说什么？我到底想表达什么意思？”用词一定要精准。 Using language clearly allows listeners to grasp your meaning immediately. You can ensure this [by using familiar words （that are known to the average person and require no specialized background）; by choosing concrete words in preference to more abstract ones, and by eliminating verbal clutter]. 用词清晰可以让听众迅速理解你的意思（抓到你的点）。要做到这一点，就要尽量使用一般人都熟悉的不需要专业知识就能懂的词语；多用具象词汇少用抽象词汇；还有要减少口误。 Using language vividly helps bring your speech to life. One way (to make your speech vivid)|is through imagery，or the creation of word pictures. You can develop imagery by using concrete language, simile, and metaphor. Simile is an explicit comparison between things （that are essentially different yet have something in common）; it always contains the words “like”or “as”. Metaphor is an impli cit comparison between things that are different yet have something in common; it does not contain the words “like” or “as”. 生动地用词能让演讲鲜活起来！比喻，这种能产生文字图像的修辞，可以使演讲达到生动的效果。比喻要用具象的语言，分为明喻和隐喻。 明喻是指在本质上有区别但仍然有相同点的事物之间做一个明确的比较，一般句中会含有“像”或“似”。隐喻则是一种隐藏的比较，不会出现like 和as 这些连接词。 Another way to make your speeches vivid is by exploiting the rhythm of language. Four devices for creating rhythm are parallelism, repetition, alliteration, and antithesis. Parallelism is the similar arrangement of a pair or series of related words, phrases, or sentences. Repetition is the use of the same word or set of words at the beginning or end of successive clauses or sentences. Alliteration comes from repeating the initial constant sounds of close or adjoining words. Antithesis is the juxtaposition of

Personal selling involves direct face –to- face communication between sellers and potential customers face-to-face selling also provides immediate feedback-which helps sales people to adapt salespeople are included in most marketing mixes .but personal selling can be very expensive. So its often desirable to combine personal selling with mass selling and sales promotion. 个人销售的灵活性是它的强项。 个人销售包括直接面对面销售商之间的沟通和潜在客户面对面的销售也提供即时的反馈，这有助于在大多数营销组合，以适应销售人员包括销售人员，但个人销售可能会非常昂贵。因此，它往往需要结合个人销售质量的销售和促销。 Mass selling –reaching millions at a price or even free Mass selling is communicating with large numbers of potential customers at the same time .it less flexible than personal selling. But when the target market is large and scattered, mass selling can be less expensive. 大规模抛盘达到数百万??的价格，甚至免费 大规模销售的同时有大量的潜在客户沟通。个人销售它不够灵活。但是，当目标市场是大而分散的，大规模的销售，可以更便宜。 Advertising is the main form of mass selling. Advertising is any paid form of nonpersonal presentation of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor. Its includes the use of such media as magazines, newspapers, radio and TV, signs, and direct mail. While advertising must be paid for , another form of mass selling –publicity-is free 广告是大规模销售的主要形式。广告是任何付费的形式确定赞助商的想法，产品或服务的非个人介绍。它包括杂志，报纸，广播，电视，招牌，和直邮等媒体的使用。虽然必须支付，另一种形式的大规模销售宣传广告是免费的 Publicity is any unpaid form of nonpersonal presentation of ideas, goods, or services.

When Coleco introduced its cabbage Patch dolls, it held press parties for reporters and they children. A number of reporters wrote “human interest” stories about their kids “adopting” the cute dolls. Those stories prompted more media attention-and a very successful product introduction without Coleco doing any introductory advertising. 宣传未付任何形式的非个人的想法，产品或服务的介绍。当然，宣传人支付。但是，他们试图吸引关注公司和它的产品，而无需支付媒体费用。例如，本书，出版商试图让作

NUIT1 大学已经不再特别了 有这么一种说法：“要是你能记得20世纪60年代的任何事情，你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人，这话可能是真的。但是，20世纪60年代有一件事人人都记得，那就是：上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。 20世纪60年代，加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。然而，加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。1966年，罗纳德?里根竞选加州州长，他问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被喧闹的、唱反调的少数人征服。”自由派人士回答说，大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、唱反调的少数人。 在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。许多抗议是针对越南战争的。可是在法国，巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟，发动了一场大罢工，最终导致戴高乐总统辞职。 20世纪60年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。不论在什么地方，上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味，初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。你往往得上了大学才能阅读你的第一本禁书，看你的第一部独立影人电影，或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米?亨德里克斯或兰尼?布鲁斯的志同道合者。那是一段难以想象的自由时光，你一生中最无拘无束的时光。 可如今那份激情哪儿去了？大学怎么了？现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50％的30岁以下的人上大学的目标（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。不过，大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。如今，大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。有些人辍学，但大多数已经有些麻木，还是坚持混到毕业，因为离开学校实在是太费事了。 没有了20世纪60年代大学生所发现的令人头脑发热的自由气氛，如今的大学生要严肃得多。英国文化协会最近做了一项调查，研究外国留学生在决定上哪所大学时所考虑的因素。这些因素从高到低依次是：课程质量、就业前景、学费负担、人身安全问题、生活方式，以及各种便利。大学已变成实现目的的手段，是在就业市场上增加就业几率的一个机会，上大学本身不再是目的，不再是给你提供一个机会，让你暂时想象一下：你能够改变世界。 童年与大学之间的距离已缩小了，大学与现实世界之间的距离也缩小了。其中的一个原因可能和经济有关。在一个没有保障的世界里，现在的许多孩子依赖父母资助的时间比以前的孩子更长。21世纪的学生大学毕业后根本无法自立门户，因为那太昂贵了。另一个可能的原因是通讯革命。儿子或女儿每学期往家里打一两回电话的日子一去不复返了。如今，大学生通过手机与父母保持着脐带式联系。至于寻找痴迷无名文学或音乐的同道好友，没问题，我们有互联网和聊天室来帮助我们做到这一点。

Unit1 欧洲制造 除了顶级奢侈品牌外几乎所有的时尚品牌都已经在亚洲生产，或者正在考虑这么做。美国的皮革商品制造商蔻驰（Coach）就是一个经典的例子。在过去的五年中，它通过仅在低成本市场生产来提升毛利率。在2002年的3月，它关闭了在波多黎各拉雷斯的最后一间公司所属工厂，将所有产品全部外包。 巴宝莉（Burberry）在亚洲持有许多许可授权安排。2000年它决定给日本三洋公司的特许授权延长十年。这意味着按零售价计算巴宝莉几乎一半的销售额将是亚洲授权生产的。但是同时，日本的消费者却偏好于该集团在欧洲生产的产品。 为了应对这种对巴宝莉在亚洲工厂所生产产品的需求，三洋公司在东京银座开设旗舰店，出售从欧洲进口的巴宝莉产品。 在《金融时报》的采访中，许多企业高管表示，顶级奢侈品牌将在亚洲越来越多地出现，就像在欧洲一样。古驰（Gucci）的多米尼克·德索尔说，无论是真是假，亚洲消费者只相信：奢侈品来自欧洲，而且一定是要在那儿生产的才是最好的。 古琦的控股公司（Pinault Printemps Redoute）的首席执行官塞格·温伯格说，公司不会将古琦的生产线移到海外。然而一些业内人士认识到，就算对顶级奢侈品牌而言，这种变化也将来临。普拉达（Prada）的首席执行官帕特里齐奥·艾特里说：“‘意大利制造’的标签很重要，但我们真正要提供的是一种风格，而风格是一种文化的展示。因此，他认识到高品质的时尚产品并非总是要在意大利生产。 欧洲工商管理学院的市场营销系的Amitava Chattopadhyay教授说：“品牌就是消费者脑海中的一系列联想，其中之一就是原产地。对于奢侈品来说，品牌的作用是至关重要的。破坏它是一种弥天大罪，没有哪个品牌经理愿意将产地和品牌形象之间的关系搞错。” Unit2 空中的交通暴怒 航空公司与长期遭罪的客户们都在提及急剧攀升的空中冲突事件。有些事件的发生显然是由许多常客所熟悉的问题造成的。美国报道的一个案例就是源于无休止的延迟起飞：乘客被关在飞机里，在停机坪上等了四个小时，期间没有食物、饮料和信息。大规模骚乱比起个人行为不当要少见些。一个已经宣判的案例里乘客在飞机上突发癫狂。他攻击机组人员，并试图在飞行途中打开舱门。 空中暴怒的心理是一个新的研究领域，对此的解释与案例几乎同样多。大多数分析家都将此现象归咎于酒精，但现在许多人认为航空公司对此负有责任。为了削减成本，他们把更多的乘客塞进机舱，同时又减少机组人员、缩减培训时间和降低服务质量，所有这些都令乘客更加沮丧。此外，在美国人们越来越关注另一个削减成本的做法：客舱通风问题。这很可能会严重损害乘客的健康。 现代飞机都配备了完备的空调装置——但要使其以最佳状态运行就会耗尽宝贵的航空燃油。许多航空公司通常指示飞行人员以最低设置来运行系统。要求改善空气质量的人士声称这就会导致烦躁不安，并令人不知所措。

Unit 1 Changes in the Way We Live 在美国，不少人对乡村生活怀有浪漫的情感。许多居住在城镇的人梦想着自己办个农场，梦想着靠土地为生。很少有人真去把梦想变为现实。或许这也没有什么不好，因为，正如吉姆·多尔蒂当初开始其写作和农场经营双重生涯时所体验到的那样，农耕生活远非轻松自在。但他写道，自己并不后悔，对自己作出的改变生活方式的决定仍热情不减。 Mr. Doherty Builds His Dream Life Jim Doherty 有两件事是我一直想做的――写作与务农。如今我同时做着这两件事。作为作家，我和E·B·怀特不属同一等级，作为农场主，我和乡邻也不是同一类人，不过我应付得还行。在城市以及郊区历经多年的怅惘失望之后，我和妻子桑迪终于在这里的乡村寻觅到心灵的满足。 这是一种自力更生的生活。我们食用的果蔬几乎都是自己种的。自家饲养的鸡提供鸡蛋，每星期还能剩余几十个出售。自家养殖的蜜蜂提供蜂蜜，我们还自己动手砍柴，足可供过冬取暖之用。 这也是一种令人满足的生活。夏日里我们在河上荡舟，在林子里野餐，骑着自行车长时间漫游。冬日里我们滑雪溜冰。我们为落日的余辉而激动。我们爱闻大地回暖的气息，爱听牛群哞叫。我们守着看鹰儿飞过上空，看玉米田间鹿群嬉跃。 但如此美妙的生活有时会变得相当艰苦。就在三个月前，气温降

到华氏零下30度，我们辛苦劳作了整整两天，用一个雪橇沿着河边拖运木柴。再过三个月，气温会升到95度，我们就要给玉米松土，在草莓地除草，还要宰杀家禽。前一阵子我和桑迪不得不翻修后屋顶。过些时候，四个孩子中的两个小的，16岁的吉米和13岁的埃米莉，会帮着我一起把拖了很久没修的室外厕所修葺一下，那是专为室外干活修建的。这个月晚些时候，我们要给果树喷洒药水，要油漆谷仓，要给菜园播种，要赶在新的小鸡运到之前清扫鸡舍。 在这些活计之间，我每周要抽空花五、六十个小时，不是打字撰文，就是为作为自由撰稿人投给报刊的文章进行采访。桑迪则有她自己繁忙的工作日程。除了日常的家务，她还照管菜园和蜂房，烘烤面包，将食品装罐、冷藏，开车送孩子学音乐，和他们一起练习，自己还要上风琴课，为我做些研究工作并打字，自己有时也写写文章，还要侍弄花圃，堆摞木柴、运送鸡蛋。正如老话说的那样，在这种情形之下，坏人不得闲――贤德之人也歇不了。 我们谁也不会忘记第一年的冬天。从12月一直到3月底，我们都被深达5英尺的积雪困着。暴风雪肆虐，一场接着一场，积雪厚厚地覆盖着屋子和谷仓，而室内，我们用自己砍伐的木柴烧火取暖，吃着自家种植的苹果，温馨快乐每一分钟。 开春后，有过两次泛滥。一次是河水外溢，我们不少田地被淹了几个星期。接着一次是生长季节到了，一波又一波的农产品潮涌而来，弄得我们应接不暇。我们的冰箱里塞满了樱桃、蓝莓、草莓、芦笋、豌豆、青豆和玉米。接着我们存放食品罐的架子上、柜橱里也开始堆

Unit1如何发表演说斯蒂芬·卢卡斯 1.在人类创造的万物中，语言可能是最卓越的一项创造。通过语言，我们可以分享经验、阐明价值观念、交流思想、传播知识、传承文化。确实，语言对于思想本身至关重要。和流行的信仰不同的是：语言并不是简单地反映事实，而是通过对事件意义的思考来帮助人们感悟现实。 2.优秀的演说者尊重语言并懂得如何驾驭语言。语言是演说者展示才能的工具，对于他们来说，如同其他职业的工具一样,语言也有特殊的功用。作为一名演说者，你应该意识到话语的意义，并懂得如何准确无误地使用语言，使其表达清楚，趣味横生，恰如其分。 3.如同数字对于会计的重要性一样，准确地使用语言对于演说者至关重要。在没有确切知道一个词语的意思之前，千万不要盲目使用。碰到没有把握的词语，一定要查词典追根究底。当你准备演讲之前，一定要不断地问自己：“我究竟想说些什么？我究竟想表达什么样的意思？”因此，对于一篇演讲稿的用词来说，必须准确无误。 4.语言表达清楚无误，听众就能很快抓住你的意思。鉴于此，演说者应该使用那些对于大多数人来说非常熟悉的词语，这些词语不需要任何专业背景就能够理解；演说者应该使用那些表达具体而不是相对抽象的词语；并且千万不要乱堆砌辞藻，哗众取宠。 5.准确生动地使用语言能够使你的演说贴近生活。有一种方法可以使你的语言更加生动形象，那就是通过展开联想或创造语言图示。通过使用表达具体的词语、明喻或者暗喻等手法可以展开想象。明喻是对事物不同之处的比较，不过有些是相同的：它们总是包含“像……一样”或者“如同……一样”这样的连词。暗喻是一种隐性的比喻，它能够把两个形式不同但是有一些相通之处的事物联系在一起，暗喻不包含“像……一样”或者“如同……一样”这样的连词。 6.另一种让你的演说生动形象的方法是注重语言的节奏感。有四种修辞格可以让你的语言富有节奏感：排比、重复、头韵和对比。排比是将一组或一系列具有相似结构的词语、短语或者句子排列在一起；重复是在一系列短句或者长句的开头或者结尾使用相同的一句话或者一组词语；头韵是指邻近或者相邻的几个句子中的首个词语的辅音字母相同；对比是将一些意思相反的词语或者句子并列在一起，通常使用排比结构。 7.恰当地使用语言是指语言的运用要符合特定的场合、特定的观众和特定的主题。同时，恰当地使用语言还意味着演说者要有自己的语言风格，而不是模仿他人的口吻。如果演说者的语言在各个方面都能够做到恰如其分，那么这篇演说成功的机率就会大大提高。 8.优秀的演说并不是空穴来风、缺乏论据的决断。演说者必须找到强有力的论据来支持其观点。实际上，熟练地使用论据经常是区别一篇优秀演说词和一篇空洞演说词的关键所在。一般来说，通常有三种论据材料：事例、统计数据和证词。 9.在演说过程中，你可以使用一些简明扼要的例子——比如过去发生的一个很具体的事件——有时候，你可以罗列好几个简明的例子，借此增强听众的印象。扩展性的例子——描述、

新视野大学英语第三版Book 2 课文翻译 Unit 1 Text A 一堂难忘的英语课 1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。 2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？” 3 她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！” 4 没了。所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。 5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're之间的不同，或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。 6 学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery（文具用品）并没有被钉在那儿。朋友和亲人常宣称They've just ate。实际上，他们应该说They've just eaten。因此，批评学生不合乎情理。 7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是
