Paragraph 1

1、In spite of “endless talk of difference,” American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is “the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of deference” characteristic of popular culture. 不管我们如何喋喋不休地谈论差别，美国社会实际上是一台同化人们的神奇的机器。这就是民主化的着装和言谈，并且还有种随意和缺乏尊重感，这些构成了通俗文化的特性。

2.1elegant英/'el?g(?)nt/ 美/'?l?g?nt/adj. 高雅的，优雅的；讲究的；简炼的；简洁的

3、Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite, these were stores “anyone could enter, regardless of class or background. This turned shopping into a public and demo cratic act.” The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization. 不是为了迎合有知识的精英们而开设的专门商店，而是创建了“不分阶层和背景人人都可以进入”的大众商店。这使得购物成为一种大众的、民主的行为。大众传媒、广告和体育也是协助人们均质化的推动力。

3、In the 10 years prior to 1990, 3.1 immigrants arrived for every 1,000 resident s; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1,000. Now, consider three indices of assimilation -- language, home ownership and intermarriage.在1990年以前的十年之中，在每千位居民当中，有3.1位新来的移民；而在1890年以前的十年之中，每千位居民当中就有9.2位移民。现在，让我们来看一下三个同化指标——语言、拥有产权住房和异族结婚情况。

1.1 reveal 英/r?'vi?l/ 美/r?'vil/n. 揭露；暴露；门侧，窗侧vt. 显示；透露；揭露；泄露

2、The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. “By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families.” Hence the description of America as a “graveyard” for languages.移民的子女几乎都说两种语言，且精通英语。“到了第三代，在大多数移民家庭，他们的母语就消失了。”因此，有人就把美国描述成了“语言的坟场”。

Paragraph 4

1、Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics “have higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S.-born whites and blacks.” By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians. 在国外出生的亚裔和西班牙裔移民“与美国本土白人和黑人相比，与异族通婚的比率要高。”到了第三代，有三分之一的西班牙裔女性与非西班牙裔男性结婚，而有41%亚裔美国妇女与非亚裔男性结婚。

Paragraph 5

1、Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet “some Americans f ear that immigrants living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation`s assimilative power.”Rodriguez注意到，世界边远地区的儿童是诸如阿诺德?施瓦辛格和加斯?布鲁克斯等超级明星的星迷，而“一些美国人担心生活在美国的移民在某种程度上并不受美国的同化力量的影响。”

1.1 immune英/?'mju?n/ 美/?'mj?n/n. 免疫者；免除者adj. 免疫的；免于……的，免除的Paragraph 6

1、Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? Indeed. It is big enough to have a bit of everything. 在美国是否存在不和以及潜在的不安？答案是肯定的，因为这个国家足够大以至于什么现象都存在。 1.1 divisive英/d?'va?s?v/ 美/di'vaisiv/adj. 分裂的；区分的；造成不和的

3.1 townsfolk英/'ta?nzf??k/ 美/'ta?nz,fok/n. 市民；镇民

3.2 cottage英/'k?t?d?/ 美/'kɑt?d?/n. 小屋；村舍；（农舍式的）小别墅

2.2 ironic英/a?'r?n?k/ 美/a?'rɑn?k/adj. 讽刺的；反话的

3、It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town`s revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall. 皇家莎士比亚剧团声称，正是这些爱看戏者在此过夜（有些人呆四五个晚上），把钱花在了镇上的旅馆饭店，为镇子带来了大部分的收入；而观光客什么都看，夜幕降临

就离开。

Paragraph 4

1、The townsfolk don`t see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. 镇上的人们不这样认为，地方镇议会并没有直接给皇家莎士比亚剧团提供津贴。

1、Anyway, the townsfolk can`t understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 percent occupied all year long and this year they`ll do better.总之，镇上人还是不明白为什么皇家莎士比亚剧团需要津贴。（该剧院连续三年打破上座纪录，去年，剧院中1431个座位的全年上座率94%，今年会更高。）

1、It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford`s most attractive clientele. They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. 如果票价上升太高，那就是一种不幸了，这是因为这样做就会赶走年轻的人，而他们是斯特拉特福德最有吸引力的客户。他们到此完全是为了看戏，而不是观光。

Paragraph 1

1、When prehistoric man arrived in new parts of the world, something strange happened to the large animals. They suddenly became extinct. Smaller species survived. 当史前人类到达世界新的地方时，大型动物遭遇了奇怪的命运:它们突然灭绝了，而小型的物种存活了下来。

1.1 prehistoric英/pri?h?'st?r?k/ 美/,prih?'st?r?k/adj. 史前的；陈旧的

1.2 extinct英/?k'st??kt; ek-/ 美/?k'st??kt/adj. 灭绝的，绝种的；熄灭的vt. 使熄灭

2、The large, slow-growing animals were easy game, and were quickly hunted to extinction. Now something similar could be happening in the oceans. 大型的、移动速度缓慢的队伍就成了易于捕获的猎物，很快被捕杀以至灭绝。现在，类似的情景可能就发生在海洋之中。

2.1 game英/ge?m/ 美/ɡem/n. 游戏；比赛adj. 勇敢的vi. 赌博

Paragraph 2

1、That the seas are being overfished has been known for years. What researchers such as Ransom Myers and Boris Worm have shown is just how fast things are changing. 多年来，我们就已经知道，海洋正在被过度捕捞。研究者如Ransom Myers 和Boris Worm所呈现在我们面前的发现只是说明形势正在发生改变。

2、They have looked at half a century of data from fisheries around the world. Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass (the amount of living biological matter) of fish species in particular parts of the ocean, but rather changes in that biomass over time. 他们研究了全世界半个世纪的捕鱼资料，它们的方法并非尝试对大海中某个特定区域的鱼类单位面积内的生物量（活体生物数量）作出估计，而是为了揭示生物数量随着时间的变化情况。

2.1 fishery 英/'f??(?)r?/ 美/'f???ri/n. 渔业；渔场；水产业

2.2 biomass英/'ba??(?)m?s/n. （单位面积或体积内的）[生态] 生物量

2.3 matter英/'m?t?/ 美/'m?t?/n. 物质；事件vi. 有关系；要紧

3、According to their latest paper published in Nature, the biomass of large predators (animals that kill and eat other animals) in a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% within 15 years of the start of exploitation. In some long-fished areas, it has halved again since then. 根据他们在《自然》杂志上最新发表的论文，一个新渔场的大型食肉动物（捕食其他队伍的动物）的生物量在开始经营十五年内平均减少80%；在一些长期捕鱼的地区，迄今已经减少了一倍半。 3.1 predator英/'pred?t?/ n. [动] 捕食者；[动] 食肉动物；掠夺者

3.2 halve 英/hɑ?v/ 美/h?v/vt. 二等分；把……减半

Paragraph 3

1、Dr. Worm acknowledges that these figures are conservative. One reason for this is that fishing technology has improved. Today`s vessels can find their prey using satellites and sonar, which were not available 50 years ago. Worm博士承认，这些数字过于保守，原因之一是因为捕鱼技术的提高。近几天的渔船可以通过卫星和声纳找到鱼群，而这些技术在50年前是没有的。

1.1 conservative英/k?n's??v?t?v/ 美/k?n's?v?t?v/n. 保守派，守旧者adj. 保守的

1.5 sonar英/'s??nɑ?/ 美/'sonɑr/n. 声呐；声波定位仪（等于asdic）

2、That means a higher proportion of what is in the sea is being caught, so the real difference between present and past is likely to be worse than the one recorded by changes in catch sizes. In the early days, too, longlines would have been more saturated with fish. 这意味着同50年前相比可以捕获更多的海洋生物，所以现在和过去的真正差距可能会比之前在捕获区记录的数据所显示的更糟糕。在早期的时候，多勾的鱼杆线已经对鱼不起作用了。2.1 proportion 英/pr?'p???(?)n/n. 比例，占比;部分;面积;均衡vt. 使成比例；使均衡；分摊

2.2 longline英/'l??lain, 'l?:?-/ n. 多钩长线

3、Some individuals would therefore not have been caught, since no baited hooks would have been available to trap them, leading to an underestimate of fish stocks in the past. Furthermore, in the early days of longline fishing, a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked. That is no longer a problem, because there are fewer sharks around now. 因此有一些鱼种没被抓到，往后没有鱼饵的鱼钩根本捕不到鱼，导致过去的捕鱼业受到低估。再者，在多钩长线钓鱼的早期，许多鱼在上钩后都成为鲨鱼的食物。现在这已经不再成为问题，因为没有多少鲨鱼出没。

3.1 bait英/be?t/vt. 引诱；在…中放诱饵；折磨n. 饵；诱饵vi. 中途休息Paragraph 4

1、Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm argue that their work gives a correct baseline, which future management efforts must take into account. Myers 和Worm博士坚持认为，它们的研究给出了正确的基线，未来的管理决策者必须给予重视。take into account考虑；重视；体谅

1.1 baseline英/'be?sla?n/ 美/'besla?n/n. 基线；底线

2、They believe the data support an idea current among marine biologist s, that of the “shifting baseline.” The notion is that people have failed to detect the massive changes which have happened in the ocean because they have been looking back only a relatively short time into the past. 他们相信这些资料支持目前在海洋生物学家中流行的一种观点，就是“多变的基线”的观点，这种观点认为因为人们只限于对过去相对较短的时期的研究，所以他们没有能够觉察到大海中所发生的巨大变化。

2.1 marine英/m?'ri?n/ 美/m?'rin/n. 海运业；舰队；水兵；（海军）士兵或军官adj. 船舶的；海生的；海产的；航海的，海运的

2.2 biologist英/ba?'?l?d??st/ 美/ba?'ɑl?d??st/n. 生物学家

2.3 detect英/d?'tekt/ 美/d?'t?kt/vt. 察觉；发现；探测

3、That matters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield that can be crop ped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels. Most fisheries are well below that, which is a bad way to do business. 这点之所以很重要是因为理论指出，一个渔场所能够获得的最高持续产量仅当目标物种的生物量是原来水平的50%时才能实现，而大部分的渔场都处于这个水平之下，这对于正常的营业是很不利的。maximum sustainable yield最高持续产量

3.1 yield英/ji?ld/ n. 产量；收益vt. 屈服；出产，产生；放弃vi. 屈服，投降

3.2 crop英/kr?p/ 美/krɑp/n. 产量；农作物；庄稼；平头vt. 种植；收割；修剪；剪短vi. 收获

Paragraph 1

1、Many things make people think artists are weird. But the weirdest may be this: artists` only job is to explore emotions, and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad. 许多事情让人们认为艺术家是怪人，而且最奇怪的莫过于此：艺术家的唯一工作就是探索情感，然而，他们的选择聚焦于那些他们感觉很糟的情感。

1.1 weird英/w??d/ 美/w?rd/n. （苏格兰）命运；预言adj. 怪异的；不可思议的；超自然的Paragraph 2

1、This wasn`t always so. The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are those best suited for expressing joy. 事实并非常常如此，最早的艺术形式，像绘画和音乐，是那些最适合表达喜悦的艺术.

2、But somewhere from the 19th century onward, more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless, phony or, worst of all, boring, as we went from Wordsworth`s daffodils to Baudelaire`s flowers of evil. 但是在19世纪的某个地方，许多艺术家开始把幸福看作是淡而无味的、虚假的——更糟的是，看作是令人厌烦的，这点可以从威廉?华兹华斯的《水仙花》到波德莱尔把鲜花描述为邪恶的转变之中看出。

2.1 onward英/'?nw?d/ 美/'ɑnw?d/adj. 向前的；前进的adv. 向前；在前面

2.3 daffodil英/'d?f?d?l/ 美/'d?f?d?l/n. 水仙花adj. 水仙花色的

Paragraph 3

1、You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seen so much misery. 你可能会坚持认为艺术之所以对幸福产生更大的怀疑是因为现代社会也已经历了太多的不幸.

1.2 misery英/?m?z?r?/ 美/'m?z?ri/n. 痛苦，悲惨；不幸；苦恼；穷困

2、But it`s not as if earlier times didn`t know perpetual war, disaster and the massacre of innocents. 但是这并不意味着早期的时代没有经历战乱、灾难和对无辜者的屠杀。

2.1 massacre英/'m?s?k?/ 美/'m?s?k?/n. 大屠杀；惨败vt. 残杀；彻底击败

3、The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in the world today. 事实上，原因可能恰恰相反：如今的世界存在过多的该诅咒的幸福。

3.1 damn英/d?m/ n. 一点；诅咒vt. 谴责；罚…下地狱adj. 可恶的adv. 非常vi. 谴责int. 讨厌Paragraph 4

1、After all, what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness? Advertising. 毕竟，现代社会几乎完全用来描述幸福的语言是什么？是广告。

1.1 depict英/d?'p?kt/ 美/d?'p?kt/vt. 描述；描画

1.2 dedicated英/'ded?ke?t?d/ 美/'d?d?'ket?d/adj. 专用的；专注的；献身的dedicate英/'ded?ke?t/ 美/'d?d?ket/vt. 致力；献身；题献

2、The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of mass media, and with it, a commercial culture in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology. 反幸福的艺术的兴起几乎和大众传媒的兴起如出一辙；而随之兴起了一种商业文化，在这种文化中，幸福快乐不仅是一个抽象概念，而是一种意识形态。

2、Today, surrounded by promises of easy happiness, we need art to tell us, as religion once did, Memento mori: remember that you will die, that everything ends, and that happiness comes not in denying this but in living with it. 今天，身处轻松幸福的许诺的包围之中，我们需要有人来提醒我们——如同从前宗教所做的那样——“死亡的象征”：记住我们会死亡，万事皆有终了时；幸福不是来源于否认这点，而是与其共生。

考研英语：翻译真题精讲(1)

考研英语：翻译真题精讲（1） 一、全真试题 The standardized educational or psychological tests that are widely used to aid in selecting，classifying，assigning，or promoting students，employees，and military personnel have been the target of recent attacks in books，magazines，the daily press，and even in Congress.（71）The target is wrong，for in attacking the tests，critics divert attention from the fault that lies with ill-informed or incompetent users. The tests themselves are merely tools，with characteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified conditions. Whether the results will be valuable，meaningless，or even misleading depends partly upon the tool itself but largely upon the user. All informed predictions of future performance are based upon some knowledge of relevant past performance: school grades，research productivity，sales records，or whatever is appropriate.（72）How well the predictions will be validated by later performance depends upon the amount，reliability，and appropriateness of the information used and on the skill and wisdom with which it is interpreted. Anyone who keeps careful score knows that the information available is always incomplete and that the predictions are always subject to error. Standardized tests should be considered in this context. They provide a quick objective method of getting some kinds of information about what a person learned，the skills he has developed，or the kind of person he is. The information so obtained has，qualitatively，the same advantages and shortcomings as other kinds of information.（73）Whether to use tests，other kinds of information，or both in a particular situation depends，therefore，upon the evidence from experience concerning comparative validity and upon such factors as cost and availability. （74）In general, the tests work most effectively when the qualities to be measured can be most precisely defined and least effectively when what is to be measured or predicated cannot be well defined. Properly used，they provide a rapid means of getting comparable information about many people. Sometimes they identify students whose high potential has not been previously recognized，but there are many things they do not do.（75）For example，they do not compensate for gross social inequality，and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances. 二、翻译题解 （71）The targetiswrong,forin attacking the tests, criticsdivertattention from the faultthatlies withill-informed or incompetent users.

2013 Text1 2006 年的一部电影《穿普拉达的女王》有段情节这样演绎：Meryl Streepb 扮演的Miranda Priestly，斥责她毫无吸引力的助手，因为她反映高端时尚并不能感染她，然后Priestly,说明了助手毛衫的深蓝色是如何从时尚展览中慢慢伸展到百货商店再到平价店中，毫无疑问是这个可怜女孩挑选了这件衣服的地方。 Elizabeth Cline 对“快餐时尚”的这三年时尚业管理严密的理念已经非常过时了，或与 Zara，的控诉书《过度装扮》中所描述的狂热不一致。在过去的十几年里，技术的发展使得像 H&M ，Uniqlo等的一些大众市场商标更快地对趋势做出反应，更精确的抢占市场需求。更快地周转意味着更少的库存浪费，更频繁的发布，更高的利润。这些商标煽动那些关心样式而且，他们不做广告，并每隔几周就全部的消费者把衣服当做只洗一到两次的一次性物品， 更新店面的衣服。Cline 认为，这些品牌以极低的价格提供潮流商品的这种行为是在抢劫时尚圈，动摇了这个产业长久以来惯有的季节性。 H&M这次变革的受害者不仅仅是设计者。对于来说，为其全球

2300 家分店提供一个 5.95 美元的编制迷你裙必须依赖海外的廉价劳动力，大量的耗尽自然资源的订单，大量的有害化学品。 Michael Pollan 的《过度装扮》是时尚界对像The Omnivore 's Dilemma 这样的消费者权 益维护者的畅销书的回答。“大量生产的衣物就像快餐，满足饥饿和需求，还是一次性的，浪费的，”Cline 认为。她还发现，美国人一年大概要买64 件一年-200 亿件衣物-平均每人 不论他们是花费了多少钱，这种不节制导致极大的浪费。 在《过度装扮》的最后部分，Cline 介绍的她理想的典范，一个布鲁克林的女人Sarah Kate Cline年开始自己制作自己所有的衣物，并且毫不逊色。但是像从2008 Beaumont,记录的那Beaumont样，花了十年时间完善她的手艺；这个例子不该被忽略。H&M包括虽然许多快餐式时尚公司已经努力控制对劳动力和环境的消极影响，公司的 绿色循环生产线，Cline 依然相信只有消费者的改变才能对此产生长久的改变。她提出对于多数可持续发展（不论是对于食物和能量）的支持者都同有的理想。浮华在继续着；只有在被逼无奈之下人们在消费时才会考虑到可持续性。 Version 描述，说法，叙述，解释，译文，版本 scold 责骂，斥责

2015考研英语翻译真题解析

Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration—one of the great folk wanderings of history—swept from Europe to America. 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world. 48) But, the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible. But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American. 49) The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the 15th- and 16th-century explorations of North America. In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six- to twelve-week voyage, they subsisted on barely enough food allotted to them. Many of the ship were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes storms blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought unbearably long delay. “To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brou ght almost inexpressible relief.” said one recorder of events, “The air at twelve leagues’ distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.” The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land was a sight of dense woods. 50) The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a veritable real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. Here was abundant fuel and lumber. Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores. 思路： 1.大致介绍文章主要内容 2. 逐段介绍每段的主要内容→分析句子结构→指出翻译时需要注意的点→试译→整理译文→总结翻译技巧和需掌握的单词

(10 points) 一、经济学史 Economics, as we know it, is the social science concerned with the production, distribution, exchange, and consumption of goods and services. Economists focus on the way in which individuals, groups, business enterprises, and governments seek to achieve efficiently any economic objective they select. (46) Other fields of study also contribute to this knowledge: Psychology and ethics try to explain how objectives are formed, history records changes in human objectives, and sociology interprets human behavior in social contexts. Standard economics can be divided into two major fields. (47) The first, price theory or microeconomics, explains how the interplay of supply and demand in competitive markets creates a multitude of individual prices, wage rates, profit margins, and rental changes. Microeconomics assumes that people behave rationally. Consumers try to spend their income in ways that give them as much pleasure as possible. As economists say, they maximize utility. For their part, entrepreneurs seek as much profit as they can extract from their operations.

2013-考研英语二文章翻译

完型 鉴于电子货币的优势,你也许会认为,我们将快速步入无现金社会,实现完全电子支付。然而，真正的无现金社会很可能不会马上到来。事实上,这样的预测已经出现二十年了,但迄今还没有实现。例如,1975年《商业周刊》预测电子支付手段不久将“彻底改变货币本身的定义”，并将在数年后颠覆货币本身。为何人们进入无现金社会的速度如此缓慢呢？ 尽管电子支付手段可能比纸币支付方式更加高效，然而以下几个方面解释了纸币系统“不会”消失的原因。第一，使电子货币成为最主要的支付方式必须的设备包括电脑、读卡器和电信网络，而安装这些设备价格昂贵。第二，纸质支票有提供收据这一优势，这是消费者不愿放弃的。第三，使用纸质支票可以让开票人多几天让钱“悬浮”在帐户里，对方得花上几天才能凭支票取现，这也就是意味着开票方又多赚了几天利息钱。而由于电子支票是即时的，因此也就没有这种优势。第四，电子支付方式还有可能存在安全和隐私隐患。 我们曾多次听到媒体报道说某个非法黑客入侵了用户的数据库并且篡改了里面的信息。这种情况时有发生，这也意味着别有用心之人可能侵入电子支付系统，盗取别人的银行帐号而盗款成功。要防止这类诈骗并非易事，正在研发新的电脑科学领域来处理该类安全问题。此外，人们对于电子支付方式的担忧在于进行电子交易之后所留下的包含个人信息的痕迹。人们担心政府部门，雇员和市场营销人员会看到这些数据，侵犯个人隐私。 Text1 在一篇名为(entitled)《成功（make it）在美国》的文章中，作者亚当·戴维森讲述(relate)了这样一个源自棉花出产国的笑话，笑话是关于现代纺织(textile)作坊(mill)已高度自动化(automate)：现如今，一家普通作坊里只有两名员工，“一个人和一条狗，人在作坊里是为了喂狗，狗在作坊里是为了使人远离(away from)机器。”Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reaso n we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution,which a re more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers.最近出现了很多(a number of)类似戴维森所写的文章，它们都表明了这样一种看法(make a point)：之所以失业人数(unemployment)居高难下(stubbornly high)和中产阶级(middle-class)收入(income)持续下降，原因是全球化与信息技术革命已经取得了诸多进步，它们使得机器和国外员工在取代(replace..with)本国劳动力(labor)方面比以往任何时候都要迅速。 以往，具有一般技术、从事一般工作的员工可以赚得(earn)普通的生活。但现如今，普通人才正式地过时了(officially)。继续普通无法再让你过上以前的生活，其原因是当下更多的雇主可以用(have access to)比普通还要低廉的价格，来雇佣国外员工，购买机器人(robotics)和软件(software)，实现自动化(automation)，获得天才(genus)。因此，每个人都需要挖掘身上额外的东西-来让他们做出独特的、有价值的贡献，这种贡献会让他们脱颖而出(stand out),不管他们身处什么工作领域(field of employment)。 确实，新科技在过去、现在和将来都在“吞噬”工作岗位，但这种“吞噬”速度已经提高了。正如戴维森所指出(note)：“（美国）工厂裁员(shed workers)速度是如此之快，以至于从1999到2009十年间裁员人数超过了之前70年新增员工人数的总和；大约有1/3的制造业工作岗位——总约600万——消失了。 未来，改变会一直存在——新工作、新产品和新服务。但我们肯定(know for sure)的一件事情是：随着全球化和信息技术革命所取得的每一个进步，那些最好的工作都将需要劳动者们接受更多、更好的教育，以使他们优于普通员工。 生活在普通人才已正式过时的世界中，我们有很多的事情需要做来扶持就业(employment)，但其中最重要的是为21世纪通过某种“士兵教育促就业法案（于1944年通
