人文学科：过时了吗？

Whenthegoinggetstough,thetoughtakeaccounting.Whenthejobmarketworsens,many studentscalculatetheycan'tmajorinEnglishorhistory.Theyhavetostudysomethingtha tbooststheirprospectsoflandingajob.

当形势变得困难时，强者会去选学会计。当就业市场恶化时，许多学生估算着他们不能再主修英语或历史。他们得学一些能改善他们就业前景的东西。

数据显示，随着学生肩负的学费不断增加，他们已从学习人文学科转向他们相信有益于将

来就业的应用科学和“硬”技能。换言之，大学教育越来越被看成是改善经济而不是提升人类自身的手段。这种趋势可能会持续，甚至有加快之势。

Overthenextfewyears,aslabormarketsstruggle,thehumanitieswillprobablyconti nuetheirlongslideinsuccession.Therealreadyhasbeenanearly50percentdeclineinthe portionofliberalartsmajorsoverthepastgeneration,anditislogicaltothinkthatthet rendisboundtocontinueorevenaccelerate.Oncethedominantpillarsofuniversitylife, thehumanitiesnowplaylittleroleswhenstudentstaketheircollegetours.Thesedays,la bsaremorevividandcompellingthanlibraries.

在未来几年内，由于劳动力市场的不景气，人文学科可能会继续其长期低迷的态势。在上一代大学生中，主修文科的学生数跌幅已近50%。这种趋势会持续、甚至加速的想法是合情合理的。人文学科曾是大学生活的重要支柱，而今在学生们的大学游中却只是一个小点缀。现在，实验室要比图书馆更栩栩如生、受人青睐。

Here,pleaseallowmetostandupforandpromotethetruevaluethatthehumanitiesaddt opeople'slives.Sinceancienttimes,peoplehavespeculatedaboutthemysteryofthosein nerforcesthatdrivesomepeopletogreatnessandotherstoself-destruction.Thisinnerd rivehasbeencalledmanythingsoverthecenturies.Thefamouspsychologist,SigmundFreu d,calleditthe"unconsciousmind"or,morefamiliarly,"instinct".

在这儿，请允许我为人文学科给人们的生活所增添的真实价值进行支持和宣传。自古以来，人们一直在思索人类自身具有什么神奇的内力使一些人变得崇高伟大，而使另一些人走向自我毁灭。几个世纪以来，这股内力被称作很多东西。着名的心理学家西格蒙德·弗洛伊德称之为“潜意识”，或更为人熟知的“本能”。

Fromthebeginningoftime,thisinneraspectofourbeing,thisdrivethatcanbeconstr uctiveordestructive,hascapturedourimagination.Thestoriesofthisamazingstruggle haveformedthebasisofculturestheworldover.Historians,architects,authors,philos ophersandartistshavecapturedthewords,imagesandmeaningsofthisinnerstruggleinth eformofstory,music,myth,painting,architecture,sculpture,landscapeandtradition s.Thesemenandwomendevelopedartistic"languages"thathelpusunderstandtheseaspira tionsandalsoeducategenerations.Thisfertilebodyofworkfromancienttimes,theveryf oundationofcivilization,formsthebasisofstudyofthehumanities.

从一开始，人类这股可以是建设性也可以是毁灭性的内在驱动力，就令我们心驰神往。这些惊人的、充满内心挣扎的故事形成了世界文化的基础。历史学家、建筑师、作家、哲学家和艺术家们以故事、音乐、神话、绘画、建筑、雕刻、风景画和传统的形式，捕捉到了这些撞击心灵的文字、形象及内涵。这些男男女女创造出了具有艺术性的“语言”，帮助我们了解人类的这些强烈愿望，并用以教育一代又一代人。从古时起开始的这些充满想象的大量作品，正是文明的底蕴，它奠定了人文研究的基础。

Studyingthehumanitiesimprovesourabilitytoreadandwrite.Nomatterwhatwedoinl ife,wewillhaveahugeadvantageifwecanreadcomplexideasandunderstandtheirmeaning. Wewillhaveabrightcareerifwearethepersonintheofficewhocanwriteaclearandelegant analysisofthoseideas!

学习人文学科会提高我们的阅读和写作能力。无论我们这一生中从事什么职业，如果我们能读懂复杂的思想并理解它们的内涵，我们都会受益匪浅。如果我们是在办公室里能对这些思想写出既明确又简洁的分析的人，我们会有光明的职业前景。

Studyingthehumanitiesmakesusfamiliarwiththelanguageofemotionandthecreativ eprocess.Inaninformationeconomy,manypeoplehavetheabilitytoproduceausefulprodu ctsuchasanewMP3player.Yet,veryfewpeoplehavetheabilitytocreateaspectacularbran

d:theiPod.Mostimportantly,studyingthehumanitiesinvestsuswithgreatinsightandse lf-awareness,therebyreleasingourcreativeenergyandtalentinapositiveandconstruc tivemanner.

学习人文学科会让我们熟悉表达情感的语言及进行创造的过程。在信息经济中，很多人都有能力创造出一个如新的MP3播放器那样的有用产品。然而，仅有很少的人具有能力创造出一个如iPod那样的精彩品牌。最重要的是，学习人文学科使我们具有伟大的洞察力和自我意识，从而以积极和建设性的方式来发挥我们的创造力和才艺。

Perhapsthebestargumentinfavorofthehumanitiesisthescopeofpossibilitiesthat arewidelyopentous.DidyouknowthatJamesCameron,world-famousdirectorofthemovie,T itanic,graduatedwithadegreeinthehumanitiesSodidSallyRide,thefirstwomaninspace .SodidactorsBruceLee,GwynethPaltrow,ReneeZellwegerandMattDamon.Dr.HaroldVarmu s,whowonaNobelPrizeforMedicine,studiedthehumanities.EvenMichaelEisner,Chairma noftheDisneyCompany,majoredinthehumanities.Famouspeoplewhostudiedthehumanitie smakealonglistindeed.It'seasytoseethatthehumanitiescanprepareusformanydiffere ntcareersandjobswecanundertake,whethermedicine,business,scienceorentertainmen t.Ifwestudyonlymathematics,it'slikelywewillbeacandidateonlyforjobsasamathemat ician.Ifweincludestudyingthehumanities,wecanmakebreakthroughsonmanybarriersan darelimitedonlybyoureffortandimagination.

也许，支持人文学科的最好论点是,人文学科为我们提供了广阔的机会。你知道世界闻名的电影《泰坦尼克号》的导演詹姆斯·卡梅隆拿的是人文学科的学位吗？第一个登上太空的女宇航员萨利·赖德拿的也是人文学科的学位。还有电影演员李小龙、格温妮丝·帕特洛、蕾妮·齐薇格及马特·达蒙，也都如此。获诺贝尔医学奖的哈罗德·瓦慕斯博士也学过人文学科。甚至迪士尼公司的总裁迈克尔·艾斯纳也主修人文学科。学习人文学科的有名人士确实可以列出一长串。显而易见，人文学能为我们从事许多不同的职业做准备，不管是医学、商务、科学或娱乐。如果我们仅学习数学，我们很可能只能申请数学家之类的工作。如果我们还学了人文学科，那我们就能突破许多障碍，只要我们愿意付出努力，敢于想象。

Ofcourse,nowadays,ifwestudythehumanitiesalone,weareliabletomissmanyopport unities.Eachoneofusneedstobecomeastechnicallyandprofessionallyskilledaspossib letohelpmeettheneedsofmodernlife.Infact,increasinglyapairingoftechnicalknowle dgeandinnerinsightisseenastheidealintheestablishmentofacareer.IfIweretheDeano fAdmissionsatamedicalschoolandtwopeopleappliedtoourschool,bothhavingtherequir edbasicscientificcourses,oneaphilosophymajorandtheothersolelyapre-medstudent, thephilosophyapplicantwouldbechosen.

当然，在当下，如果我们单学人文学科，可能会失去很多机会。我们每个人都需要尽可能变得技能化、职业化，以满足现代生活的需要。事实上，技术知识和内在洞察力的结合越来越被看成是建立职业生涯的理想搭配。如果我是某个医学院的招生部主任，有两个人同时申请我们学校，这两个人都学过基础的科学课程，一个主修哲学，另一个仅是医学院的预科生，我会选择那位哲学专业的申请者。

Insummary,thehumanitieshelptocreatewell-roundedhumanbeingswithinsightandu nderstandingofthepassions,hopesanddreamscommontoallhumanity.Thehumanities,the ancienttimelessreservoirofknowledge,teachustoseethingsdifferentlyandbroadenou rhorizons.Theyareasusefulandrelevantinourmodernageastheyhavealwaysbeen.Doesn' titmakesensetospendsometimeinthecompanyofthehumanities,ouroutstandingandremar kabletreasureofknowledgeWhoknowshowfamousYOUmightbecome!

总之，人文学科帮助造就全面发展的人，这些人具有洞察力，并理解全人类共有的激情、希望和理想。人文学科，这个古老、永恒的知识储蓄库，教我们如何以不同的方式看待事物，同时也拓宽我们的视野。在现代社会中，人文学科一如既往地同生活息息相关，也发挥着重要作用。我们在学习中花一些时间与人文学科——我们杰出、非凡的知识宝藏——相伴，这难道不是明智的吗？谁知道你将来会变得多有名气呢！

我微笑着看着我那两个可爱的女儿，她们似乎比她们的父母还是大学情侣那会儿更为成熟。琳达，21岁，在大学一年级交过一个男友，她曾以为会跟那个男孩结婚，但他们已不再来往了。梅丽莎，19岁，还没有一个固定的男友。我的女儿不知何时才能遇到她们的那个“唯一”，她们伟大的爱。她们认为她们的父亲和我有着一段经典的、童话般的浪漫史，从一开始就直奔婚姻的殿堂。也许，她们是正确的，但在那时似乎并不是那么回事。在某种程度上，爱神恰恰在你最没准备时来临。谁曾想到，布奇和我最终会结婚呢？他之所以成为我男友，只是因为当时我那肤浅的打算：我要找一个可爱的男友！

Wemetthroughmycollegeroommateattheuniversitycafeteria.Thatfatefulnight,Iw asmerelycurious,butforhimIthinkitwasloveatfirstsight."Youhavebeautifuleyes,"h esaidashegazedatmyface.Hekeptstaringatmeallnightlong.Ireallywasn'tthatinteres tedfortworeasons.First,helookedlikehewasareallywildboy,maybeevendangerous.Sec ond,althoughhewasverycute,heseemedalittleweird.

我们通过我的大学室友介绍在大学食堂相识。在那个命中注定的夜晚，我只是好奇，但对他而言，我认为是一见钟情。他凝视着我的脸，说：“你有一双美丽的眼睛。”他整个晚上一直盯着我。我真的对他没那么感兴趣，其原因有二。首先，他看起来就像是一个野小子，甚至还有些危险。其次，虽然他很可爱，却似乎有点怪异。

Ridingonhisbicycle,he'dridepastmydormasif"byaccident"andpretendtobesurpri sedtoseeme.Ilikedtheattentionbutwascautiousabouthiswild,dynamicpersonality.He hadacharmingwaywithwordswhichwouldcharmanygirl.FearcameovermewhenIstartedtofa llinlove.Hisexciting"badboyimage"wasjusttootemptingtoresist.Whatwasitthatattr actedmeIalwayshadanexcellentreputation.Myconcentrationwassolelyonmystudiestog etsuperiorgrades.ButforwhatCollegeissupposedtobeatimeofgreatlearningandalsoso mefun.Ihadnearlyachievedagreateducation,andgraduationwasjustonesemesteraway.B utIhadn'thadanyfun;mylifewasstalewithnocomponentoffun!Ineededaboyfriend.Notju stanyboyfriend.Hehadtobecute.Mygoalthatsemesterbecame:Beambitiousandgrabthecu testboyfriendIcanfind.

他骑着自行车经过我的宿舍，装作与我“偶遇”，看到我时还假装惊讶。我喜欢被重视的感觉，但对他的野性和充满活力的个性却小心谨慎。他很会说话，这会迷倒任何女孩。当

我开始爱上他时，恐惧向我袭来。他那令人激动的“坏小子形象”简直太诱人了。究竟是什么吸引了我？我，一直口碑极好。为了获得优异的成绩，我的注意力只专注在自己的学习上。但又怎么样呢？大学应该是学习的好时间，可也应该有一些乐趣。我已几乎达成了伟大的教育目标，离毕业只有一学期之遥了。但我却还没有享受过任何乐趣，我的生活乏味，没有一点新鲜感！我需要一个男朋友，当然不是任何男朋友。他必须很可爱。于是我那个学期的目标就成为：雄心勃勃，抓住一个我能找到的最可爱的男友。

Iworriedwhathe'dthinkofme.True,welivedinatimewhenadramaticshiftinsexualat titudeswastakingplace,butIwasatraditionalgirlwhowasn'treadyforthenewwaysthats eemedcommononcampus.Butchlookedsuperb!Iwasnotimmunetohispersonality,butIwassc ared.ThenightwhenheannouncedtotheworldthatIwashisgirlfriend,Iwentalongwithhim .AndthenIsuddenlythought:"Ohmygosh!AmIhisgirlfriendHowdidthathappen"Thenhewhi speredsweetwordsinmyearandsaid,"I'mgoingtomarryyouonedayandIwillbealawyer.You willsee."

我担心他会怎么看我。不错，我们生活在一个性观念正在发生戏剧性转变的时代，但我是一个传统的女孩，对在校园里似乎常见的新方式还没有心理准备。布奇看上去很出色！我对他的个性毫无免疫力，但我对此很害怕。那天晚上当他向大家宣布我是他女友时，我是同意的。但我随后突然清醒：“噢，我的天哪！我是他女友吗？这是怎么回事？”紧接着，他在我耳边低声地甜言蜜语：“有一天我要娶你，我会成为一名律师。你会看到这一天的。”

Iwaslaughinginsideandsaidtomyself,"I'dnevermarrythisguy.He'sarebelwithout agoodfuture.He'smyboyfriendbecauseIhatemyboringstudentlife.Ijustwanttohavefun ."

我笑着对自己说：“我绝不会嫁给这个家伙。他是一个没有前途的叛逆者。他是我男朋友，只因为我恨枯燥的学生生活。我只想得到乐趣而已。”

果然，一个月后，我发现他所有的课程都不及格。因而，他将被大学除名。令我厌恶的是，他似乎屈从了自己的命运。我知道还有希望，所以我让他去学院的秘书那儿进行复议。

"YouaregoingtograduatewithaBAinpoliticalsciencefromUPennandproceedtotheCo llegeofLaw,"Itoldhim,lodginganappealonhisbehalf,whichwasapproved.Butchwasgran tedreconsideration.And,oncewebecamesteadies,hecoordinatedhisstudiesandsociall ife,passingallofhisclasses.Heeventuallystudiedlaw.

我告诉他：“你要先从宾夕法尼亚大学拿到政治学学士学位，然后进入法律学院。”我以他的名义递交了呈请书，结果被批准了。校方同意复议布奇的情况。我们的男女朋友关系一经确定，他就协调了他的学习和社交生活，结果各门课都通过了。他最终学了法律。

尽管布奇的性格有点野，但他在骨子里却是一个完美的绅士，这值得高度赞扬。的确，他有时会在我朋友面前亲吻我的嘴，擅自表达他的爱。我的朋友看到了很惊讶，也很不以为然。但事实上，我们在整整七年的恋爱关系中一直是纯洁和负责的。我们坐在棕榈树下，手牵着手，听着浪漫的歌曲，观赏着日落，编织着和我们自己的孩子在一起的美梦，一直

到永远。

两年糊里糊涂地过去了。一天，布奇出其不意地手捧着一打红玫瑰跪下向我求婚。我心中充满了深情，也坦诚了对他的爱：“太太太太太浪漫了！！”可我随即从幻想中惊醒。我大喊出来：“天哪。不！我们现在结婚还太早了。我们甚至还没有大学毕业呢！”我真的很喜欢他，但我对我们感情修成正果的机率却持悲观态度。

你是不是跟我一样对“我应该花钱还是存钱”这个问题感到困惑，且有被操纵的感觉？我觉得我们从生活的环境里所获得的信息似乎是有违常识、互相矛盾的。政府告诉我们要花钱，否则我们将永远走不出衰退；与此同时，他们又告诉我们，除非我们节省更多的钱，否则我们的国家会处于严重危险之中。银行提供较高的利率以增加储蓄。然后，同样是这些银行又提供信用卡让我们可以花更多的钱。

这里还有一个大家熟悉的例子：如果我们不按时支付信用卡账单，我们会收到从信用卡公司发来的类似这样的令人讨厌的催缴账单的电子邮件：不还款是不可接受的。请立即缴付，否则后果自负！之后，一旦还款，我们就会收到一封跟进的电子邮件，语气和蔼可亲，说我们是多么宝贵的客户，并鼓励我们继续花钱。到底哪一个描述是正确的？有麻烦的失败

消费者还是宝贵的客户？这两者之间可是天壤之别！

自相矛盾的情况还有，我们每天都收到彼此相左的两种信息。一种从“纵容”的角度，让我们“买东西，花钱，现在就得到它。你需要这个！”另外一种，我们可称之为“正直”的信息，它力劝我们：“努力工作，把钱存起来。控制你的欲望，不要买奢侈品，不要垂涎那些你并不真正需要的东西。”这类信息来源甚多，有学校方面的，有家长方面的，甚至还来自提及传统价值观的政治人物。艰苦创业，忠于家庭、能推迟欲望是美国价值观的核心，它使我们的国家变得强大。

但相反的信息，即那些纵容人们不断花钱的广告，无所不在。虽然此类信息有时经过了乔装打扮，但仍随处可见，电视、电影、印刷媒介和路牌、商店，及公共汽车、火车和地铁上，比比皆是。广告侵入了我们的日常生活。我们时时被包围在花钱，花钱，花钱的信息中。最近有人说：“唯一可以逃脱广告的时候是当在床上睡着时！”

It'sbeencalculatedthatbytheageof18,theaverageAmericanwillhaveseen600,000a ds;bytheageof40,thetotalisalmostonemillion.Eachadvertisementisdoingitsutmostt oinfluenceourdiversebuyingdecisions,fromthebreakfastcerealweeattowhichcruisel inewewilluseforourvacation.Thereisnoshortageofideasandthingstobuy!Now,ofcours e,wedon'trememberexactlywhattheproductswere,buttheessentialmessageiscementedi ntoourconsciousness,"It'sgoodtosatisfyyourdesires.Youshouldhavewhatyouwant.Yo udeservethebest.So,youshouldbuyit—now!"Afamousadvertisementsaiditperfectly," Iloveme.I'magoodfriendtomyself.Idowhatmakesmefeelgood.Iderivepleasurefromnice thingsandfeelnourishedbythem.Iusedtoputthingsoff.Notanymore.TodayI'llbuynewsk iequipment,lookatnewcompactcars,andbuythatcameraI'vealwayswanted.Ilivemydream stoday,nottomorrow."

据计算，普通的美国人到18岁时，会看过60万则广告；到40岁时，看过的广告总数近百万。每个广告都在尽最大努力影响我们形形色色的购买决定——从我们吃的早餐麦片到我们的假期将使用哪条邮轮线路。决不会缺少怎么花钱和买什么东西的广告！现在，我们当然不能确切地记得广告上的产品，但重要的信息已凝聚在我们的意识里：“要满足你的愿望。你应该拥有你想要的。你应该得到最好的。所以，你应该买下它——现在！”一个着名的广告诠释得很完美：“我爱自己。我是自己的好朋友。我做让我感觉舒服的事。我从精美的东西里得到乐趣，并感觉到它们给我的滋养。我过去常想着等一下再买，现在再也不会了。今天，我会购买全新的滑雪装备，看看新型的小巧灵便的轿车，买下那台我一直想要的相机。我今天就要实现我的梦想，不会等到明天。”

当我们接受这些相互矛盾但很明确的信息时，会有什么事情发生呢？这种控制我们花钱习惯的宣传活动会造成什么心理和社会上的影响呢？一方面，我们希望买更多的东西，来满足我们的物质欲望。我们中的大多数通过善待自己来得到乐趣。与此同时，我们身体里面有一个微弱的声音与那些正直的信息在共鸣：“当心，要掂量掂量自己的生活，不要让注意力分散。推迟欲望。不要陷入债务。要等待！保留对自己生活的控制权。这会让你更坚强。”

总之，一个成功的学生所需要的很多技能可以应用到你的财务中去。把良好的财务状况看成是大学教育中的一个关键因素，因为对金钱的担忧会让人倍感压力，并让人分心。它们会让你感觉很糟糕，并阻止你专注首要目标，即成功完成学业。

怎样才能成为一个聪明、有相关知识的消费者呢？许多学校、社区组织，甚至一些银行都提供金融扫盲班。可以考虑向学校的财务援助办公室咨询，或向父母或其他值得尊敬的成年人请教如何建立一个预算方案。另外一个选择是找一个合作伙伴来帮你保持良好的财务状况，并在管理自己的金融事务中找到乐趣。最重要的是，如果你发现自己正陷入财务困境，不要让你的自大妨碍你，在情况变得失控并惹上法律麻烦前，赶紧寻求帮助来解决问题。

“关门者”，你是吗？

Thenexttimeyou'redecidingbetweenrivaloptions,onewhichisprimaryandtheother whichissecondary,askyourselfthisquestion:WhatwouldXiangYudo

下次你要在两个难于取舍的、主要的和次要的选择之间做决定时，不妨问自己这样一个问题：项羽会怎么做？

XiangYuwasaChineseimperialgeneralinthethirdcenturyBCwhotookhistroopsacros stheZhangRiveronaraidintoenemyterritory.Tohistroops'astonishment,heorderedthe ircookingpotscrushedandtheirsailingshipsburned.

项羽是公元前三世纪中国古代王朝的一位将军。他带领他的部队横渡漳河，突袭进入了敌方的领地。他下令砸锅烧船，令他的部队大为震惊。

他解释道，他强加给他们的是战胜对手的必要举措。他所说的无疑十分鼓舞士气，但当他那许多忠诚的士兵眼睁睁地看着他们的船只在火焰中被焚毁时，他们并不赞成他的做法。不过项羽将军的这种砸锅焚船的做法所显示出的天赋，在战场上和现代社会科学研究中都将得到肯定。项羽将军是一个罕见的不墨守成规的人，他是一位经验丰富的领袖，由于他征战无数并达到了成功的顶峰，他深受尊敬。

丹·阿雷利极富启迪性的新书《可预见的非理性》对项羽作了专题介绍。这本书对看似非理性的人类行为，譬如人类总想留住多项选择机会的倾向，进行了引人入胜的调查。大多数人都不能整理自己的思路来做痛苦的选择，麻省理工学院上阿雷利博士行为经济学这门课的学生也不例外。在调查作决策的一项实验中，几百名学生都不能忍受眼睁睁看着他们的选择机会消失，即使他们很清楚这样做对他们有利。

Theexperimentrevolvedaroundagamethateliminatedtheexcusesweusuallyhaveforr efusingtoletgo.Intherealworld,wecanalwayssay,"It'sgoodtopreserveouroptions."W antagoodexampleAteenagerisexhaustedfromsoccer,ballet,piano,andChineselessons, butherparentswon'tstopanyoneofthembecausetheymightcomeinhandysomeday!

实验是围绕着一个游戏展开的，这个游戏排除了我们通常不肯放手的借口。在现实世界里，我们总会说：“保留我们的选择机会是对的。”想要一个好的例子吗？一个十多岁的女孩被足球、芭蕾舞、钢琴、中文课给累得筋疲力尽，但她的父母不会让她停止任何一项活动，理由是它们有一天可能会派上用场！

Intheexperimentsessions,studentsplayedacomputergamethatprovidedcashbehind threedoorsappearingonthescreen.Therulewasthemoremoneyyouearned,thebetterplaye ryouwere,givenatotalof100clicks.Everytimethestudentsopenedadoorbyclickingonit ,theywoulduseuponeclickbutwouldn'tgetanymoney.However,eachsubsequentclickonth atdoorwouldearnafluctuatingsumofmoney,withonedooralwaysrevealingmoremoneythan theothers.Theimportantpartoftherulewaseachdoorswitch,thoughhavingnocashvalue, wouldalsouseuponeofthe100clicks.Therefore,thewinningstrategywastoquicklycheck allthedoorsandkeepclickingontheonewiththeseeminglyhighestrewards.

在这个实验里，学生要玩一个电脑游戏:在电脑屏幕上会显示三扇门，每扇门后都会提供

一些现金。该游戏的规则是每个人都只能点击100次，你点击获取的钱越多，你就玩得越好。学生每点击一次打开一扇门，他们会用掉一个点击数，但却不会得到任何钱。然而，随后接着在那扇门上的每次点击都会挣得数额不等的钱，三扇门显示的钱总有一扇比另外两扇多。这个游戏规则的重点是虽然每次换门没有金钱回报，可还是会用掉一次点击数。所以，制胜战略是要迅速查看所有的门，然后只点击那扇似乎是钱最多的门。

Whileplayingthegame,studentsnoticedamodifiedvisualelement:Anydoorleftuncl ickedforashortwhilewouldshrinkinsizeandvanish.Sincetheyalreadyunderstoodthega me,theyshouldhaveignoredthevanishingdoors.Nevertheless,theyhurriedtoclickonth elesserdoorsbeforetheyvanished,tryingtokeepthemopen.Asaresult,theywastedsoman yclicksrushingbacktothevanishingdoorsthattheylostmoneyintheend.Whywerethestud entssoattachedtothelesserdoorsTheywouldprobablyprotestthattheywereclingingtot hedoorstokeepfutureoptionsopen,but,accordingtoDr.Ariely,thatisn'tthetruefacto r.

在玩游戏时，学生们注意到了一个视觉上的变化：如果有片刻没点击某扇门，那扇门就会慢慢缩小并消失。由于他们已了解了游戏规则，他们本应对要消失的门不予理睬。然而，在它们消失以前，他们却迫不及待地去点击那些变小的门，试图让它们开启着。结果是，他们在匆忙回去点击那些快消失的门时浪费了很多点击数以至于最后输了钱。为什么学生对那些变小的门如此依恋呢？他们可能会争辩说，他们紧抓住这些门是为将来多留一些机会。但是，据阿雷利博士说，这不是真正的原因。

Insteadoftheexcusetomaintainfutureoptionsopen,underneathitallthestudents' desirewastoavoidtheimmediate,thoughtemporary,painofwatchingoptionsclose."Clos ingadooronanoptionisexperiencedasaloss,andpeoplearewillingtopayabigpricetoavo idtheemotionofloss,"Dr.Arielysays.Intheexperiment,thepricewaseasilymeasuredin lostcash.Inlife,thecorrespondingcostsareoftenlessobvioussuchaswastedtimeormis sedopportunities.

在他们为将来多留一些机会的借口背后反映出的是所有的学生都不堪目睹眼前的选择机会被剥夺，尽管这种痛苦是临时的。阿雷利博士说：“每闭上一扇选择之门就如同经受了一次损失，人们宁愿付出很大的代价，也要避免情感的失落。”在实验中，损失很容易用丢失的现金来衡量。在生活中，相应的损失就往往没那么明显，如浪费时间，错过机会。

"Sometimesthesedoorsareclosingtooslowlyforustoseethemvanishing,"Dr.Ariely writes."Wemayworkmorehoursatourjobswithoutrealizingthatthechildhoodofoursonsa nddaughtersisslippingaway."

“有时候，这些门是慢慢关闭的，我们没有看到它们在悄然消失，”阿雷利博士写道：“我们可能花很多时间在工作上，却没有意识到我们子女的童年正在悄悄溜走。”

那么，我们可以做些什么让我们的生活恢复平衡呢？阿雷利博士说，一个办法是制止更多的超额预约。我们可以自己减少选择，将任务委派给其他人，甚至放弃一些点子，让其他人去做。他用婚姻作为例子：“在婚姻中，我们承诺不保留选择机会，我们就创造了获得最佳选择的有利局面。我们关上可选择的门，并告诉别人我们已作出选择。”

Sinceconductingthedoorexperiment,Dr.Arielysayshehasmadeaconsciouseffortto lessenhisload.Heurgestherestofustoresignfromcommittees,pruneholidaycardlists,

阿雷利博士说，自从进行了这个点击门的实验，他已经有意识地努力减轻自己的负担。他敦促我们辞去委员会的工作，删减送节日贺卡的名单，重新思考兴趣爱好，并记住像项羽那样的关门者给我们的启示。

Inotherwords,Dr.Arielyisencouragingustodiscardthosethingsthatseemtohaveou twardmeritinfavorofthosethingsthatactuallyenrichourlives.Wearenaturallyprejud icedtobelievethatmoreisbetter,butDr.Ariely'sresearchprovidesadoseofrealitytha tstronglysuggestsotherwise.

换言之，他是鼓励我们放弃那些似乎只有表面价值的东西，而去追求那些能真正丰富我们生活的东西。我们很自然、很偏执地相信选择越多越好，但阿雷利博士的研究却强有力地告诉我们事实并非如此。

WhatpricedowepayfortryingtohavemoreandmoreinlifeWhatpleasureandsatisfacti oncanbederivedfromfocusingourenergyandattentioninamoreconcentratedfashionSure ly,wewillhaveourrespectiveanswers.

我们想在生活中得到越来越多选择的代价是什么？我们能从更集中的精力和注意力中获得什么样的喜悦和满足？当然，我们每个人都会有自己的答案。

Considertheseimportantquestions:Willwehavemorebyalwaysincreasingoptionsor willwehavemorewithfewer,carefullychosenoptionsWhatdoorsshouldwecloseinorderto allowtherightwindowsofopportunityandhappinesstoopen

试想一下这些重要的问题：怎么做会使我们获得更多，是不断增加选择，还是只保持少数精心挑选的选择？我们应关闭什么门，以便让机会和幸福之窗打开？

农历七月初七是中国的七夕节(QixiFestival)，是中国传统节日中最具浪漫色彩的一个节日。一些大的商家每年都举办不同的活动，年轻人也送礼物给他们的情人。因此，七夕节被认为是中国的“情人节”(Valentine'sDay)。七夕节来自牛郎与织女（CowherdandWeavingMaid）的传说。相传，每年的这个夜晚，天上的织女都会与牛郎相会。所以，在七夕的夜晚，人们可以看到牛郎织女在银河（theMilkyWay）相会。姑娘们也会在这一天晚上向天上的织女乞求智慧，以获得美满姻缘。但随着时代的变迁，这些活动正在消失，唯有标志着忠贞爱情的牛郎织女的传说一直流传民间。

BOOK TWO Unit 5 丝绸之路（Silk Road）是我国古代一条连接中国和欧亚大陆（Eurasia）的交通线路，由于这条商路以丝绸贸易为主，故称"丝绸之路"。作为国际贸易的通道和文化交流的桥梁，丝绸之路有效地促进了东西方经济文化交流和发展，对世界文明进程有着深远影响。当前，在新的历史条件下，我国提出了"一带一路"（One Belt, One Road）（即"丝绸之路经济带"和"21世纪海上丝绸之路"）的战略构想。"一带一路"以合作共赢为核心，强调相关各国的互利共赢和共同发展。这一战略一经提出即受到沿线各国的积极响应。 The Silk Road is a traffic route in the ancient times connecting China and Eurasia. This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name "the Silk Road". As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization. Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of "One Belt, One Road" (namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road). The strategy of "One Belt, One Road" focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries. Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road. Unit 6 国民幸福指数（National Happiness Index，NHI）是衡量人们幸福感的一种指数，也是衡量一个国家或地区经济发展、居民生活与幸福水平的指标工具。随着中国经济的高速增长，中国政府越来越重视人民群众生活质量和幸福指数的提升。政府注重改善民生，努力改善人民群众的经济状况，满足人民群众日益增长的物质文化需求。当前，中国政府提倡释放改革红利，让人民群众得到更多实惠。所有这些都将有效促进我国国民幸福指数不断提升。 National Happiness Index (NHI) is an index that measures how happy people are. It is also a tool that measures the levels of economic development and people's livelihood and happiness in a country or region. With the fast growth of Chinese economy, the Chinese government has been paying more and more attention to people's living quality and the increase of happiness index. The government stresses improvement of its people's livelihood, striving to improve their economic conditions and meet their growing material and cultural needs. Currently, the Chinese government advocates the unleashing of more reform dividends, with the aim of offering more real benefits to its people. All these measures will combine to effectively increase the NHI of our people.

第二册 新视野大学英语（第二版）第二册Unit 1 Unit 1 Section A I Comprehension of The Text 1. The attitude is that if one is not moving ahead he is falling behind. 2. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. (People budget it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; they also charge for it.) They do this because time is a precious resource. 3. Everyone is in a rush — often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. 4. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain appropriate point. 5. New arrivals in America will miss opening exchanges, the ritual interaction that goes with a cup of coffee or tea and leisurely chats. 6. Americans produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices. They communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal contacts. 7. The impersonality of electronic communication has little or no relation to the significance of the matter at hand. 8.

新视野大学英语3第三版课文翻译 Unit 1 The Way to Success 课文A Never, ever give up! 永不言弃！ As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student, and had he not been from a famous family, he probably would have been removed from the school for deviating from the rules. Thankfully, he did finish at Harrow and his errors there did not preclude him from going on to the university. He eventually had a premier army career whereby he was later elected prime minister. He achieved fame for his wit, wisdom, civic duty, and abundant courage in his refusal to surrender during the miserable dark days of World War II. His amazing determination helped motivate his entire nation and was an inspiration worldwide. Toward the end of his period as prime minister, he was invited to address the patriotic young boys at his old school, Harrow. The headmaster said, "Young gentlemen, the greatest speaker of our time, will be here in a few days to address you, and you should obey whatever sound advice he may give you." The great day arrived. Sir Winston stood up, all five feet, five inches and 107 kilos of him, and gave this short, clear-cut speech: "Young men, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!" 英国的伟大首相温斯顿·丘吉尔爵士，小时候在哈罗公学上学。当时他可不是个好学生，要不是出身名门，他可能早就因为违反纪律被开除了。谢天谢地，他总算从哈罗毕业了，在那里犯下的错误并没影响到他上大学。后来，他凭着军旅生涯中的杰出表现当选为英国首相。他的才思、智慧、公民责任感以及在二战痛苦而黑暗的时期拒绝投降的无畏勇气，为他赢得了美名。他非凡的决心，不仅激励了整个民族，还鼓舞了全世界。 在他首相任期即将结束时，他应邀前往母校哈罗公学，为满怀报国之志的同学们作演讲。校长说：“年轻的先生们，当代最伟大的演说家过几天就会来为你们演讲，他提出的任何中肯的建议，你们都要听从。”那个激动人心的日子终于到了。温斯顿爵士站了起来——他只有5 英尺5 英寸高，体重却有107 公斤。他作了言简意赅的讲话：“年轻人，要永不放弃。永不放弃！永不放弃！永不，永不，永不，永不！” Personal history, educational opportunity, individual dilemmas - none of these can inhibit a strong spirit committed to success. No task is too hard. No amount of preparation is too long or too difficult. Take the example of two of the most scholarly scientists of our age, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison. Both faced immense obstacles and extreme criticism. Both were called "slow to learn" and written off as idiots by their teachers. Thomas Edison ran away from school because his teacher whipped him repeatedly for asking too many questions. Einstein didn't speak fluently until he was almost nine years old and was such a poor student that some thought he was unable to learn. Yet both boys' parents believed in them. They worked intensely each day with their sons, and the boys learned to never bypass the long hours of hard work that they needed to succeed. In the end, both Einstein and Edison overcame their childhood persecution and went on to achieve magnificent discoveries that benefit the entire world today. Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships,

新视野大学英语2课文翻译

新视野大学英语2课文翻译（Unit1-Unit7） Unit 1 Section A 时间观念强的美国人 Para. 1 美国人认为没有人能停止不前。如果你不求进取，你就会落伍。这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一，另一个是劳力。 Para. 2 人们一直说：“只有时间才能支配我们。”人们似乎是把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待的。我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释；我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。时间是一种宝贵的资源，许多人都深感人生的短暂。时光一去不复返。我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。 Para. 3 外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是：每个人都匆匆忙忙——常常处于压力之下。城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方，在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务，或者为了赶快买完东西，用肘来推搡他人。白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙，这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。工作时间被认为是宝贵的。Para. 3b 在公共用餐场所，人们都等着别人吃完后用餐，以便按时赶回去工作。你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽，人们推搡着在你身边过去。你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。不要觉得这是针对你个人的，这是因为人们非常珍惜时间，而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。 Para. 4 许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒暄。他们也会怀念那种一边喝茶或咖啡一边进行的礼节性交流，这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。他们也许还会怀念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。一般说来，美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的，更不用说会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭，或带他们去打高尔夫球。既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人，我们就开门见山地谈正事。因此，时间老是在我们心中的耳朵里滴滴答答地响着。 Para. 5 因此，我们千方百计地节约时间。我们发明了一系列节省劳力的装置；我们通过发传真、打电话或发电子邮件与他人迅速地进行交流，而不是通过直接接触。虽然面对面接触令人愉快，但却要花更多的时间, 尤其是在马路上交通拥挤的时候。因此，我们把大多数个人拜访安排在下班以后的时间里或周末的社交聚会上。 Para. 6 就我们而言，电子交流的缺乏人情味与我们手头上事情的重要性之间很少有或完全没有关系。在有些国家, 如果没有目光接触，就做不成大生意，这需要面对面的交谈。在美国，最后协议通常也需要本人签字。然而现在人们越来越多地在电视屏幕上见面，开远程会议不仅能解决本国的问题，而且还能通过卫星解决国际问题。
