《研究生英语教程》课文翻译一单元“十便士看一次海湾风光,”那个带着一架望远镜的老头说道:“多么晴朗美丽的早晨。

请来看看那古老的灯塔和1935年失事的大轮船残骸吧。

”要十便士简直是敲诈勒索,可是海湾的景色确实壮丽。

峭壁向远方伸展,海风激起的阵阵波浪泛着白花,冲上海滩。

海面上几艘游艇张着乳白色的风帆优雅地避开浪头蜿蜓前进。

山崖下面,一群海鸥相互叫唤着,在海面上盘旋飞翔。

离岸一英里处,在海浪贪婪地吮舔着的岩岸上,那座古老的灯塔矗立在一座石头平台上。

说实话,我毫不吝惜那几个钱。

当我把望远镜转朝灯塔时,站在我身旁的那个老头拍了拍我的手腕。

“您听过在那座灯塔里发生的一起骇人听闻的惨案吗?”他压低了嗓声对我说。

“我想这个地方看起来非常富有戏剧性,有关它的传说一定不少,”我说。

“这可不是传说,”那老头郑重其事地说。

“我父亲认识那起惨案的两个当事人。

一切都发生在50年前的今天。

让我说给您听听吧。

”他的声音似乎变得更低沉、更富有戏剧性了。

“整整一个礼拜,风暴困住了那座灯塔,”他开始说。

“咆啸的大海波涛汹涌,海浪拍打着岩石,轰然作响。

岸上的人们十分担心在那儿工作的两个人。

他们俩是多年的挚友,但在两三个礼拜前,他们在乡村酒店里玩牌时吵了一架。

马丁指责布莱克打牌时耍赖,布莱克则发誓要对侮辱他人格的不实之辞进行报复。

多亏一位他们俩都尊敬的人好言相劝,他们才互相道了歉,并以乎很快地结束了他们之间的不快。

不过各自心里还有些怨恨。

因此,人们担心长时间与世隔绝所造成的极度紧张和恶劣的天气会使他们俩神经过敏,尽管两人的朋友们不消说还根本没意识到后果会有多么严重。

”“离今50年前的那个晚上,灯塔上没有出现灯光,直到凌晨两点钟左右才有一束灯光突然发出警告信号。

“第二天早上,灯光依然可见。

风暴已经平息了,人们派出一条救生船前去查看情况。

等待人们的却是一个不忍目睹的场面——马丁和布莱克的起居室一片骇人景象,桌子翻倒在地,一副牌散得到处都是,地板上溅满了血迹。

Unit3 美国人的酷爱1 我父亲是别克人。

在经济大萧条以前,他本是史达兹人。

然而,就像成千上万经济状况处于上升阶段的有车族一样,那场可悲的经济逆转使他们非得调整对汽车的胃口不可。

到他死的时候,他开过的那些别克轿车就不只是普通意义上的交通工具了,而且将父亲定位于这样的社会阶层——比庞蒂亚克人富有,但比不上克迪拉克人。

拥有别克轿车让人一看便知父亲的社会地位。

与别克人相当的还有福特人和克莱斯勒人。

2 我们美国人与汽车的特殊缘分,其坚实的基础就在于对一种轿车品牌的忠诚,这种忠诚因其来之不易而倍受珍惜。

·这就是爱吗?也许用词过分,可美国人对这些机器的尊重甚过所有其他机器——不仅将它们视为20世纪雕塑大观中的标志,而且还将它们视为社会的护身符。

我记忆中的第一辆别克车是一辆闪闪发亮的黑色轿车,椅子的衬垫是厚厚的马海毛,离合器拉杆是新式的。

我父亲爱吹嘘说这辆车一小时能跑120英里。

一想到这样的速度就会令男人们兴奋不已。

我照着家里的菲尔可牌收音机盒里播出的格林,霍利特驾驶的那个神秘机器的名字,给这头漂亮的牲口取了个名副其实的绰号——黑美驹。

3 20世纪中,电话、电视或者个人电脑,这一切都使人类环境发生了巨大变化。

然而,与电话、电视、电脑不同的是,汽车却享有人格化的地位。

有些汽车可以成为家庭成员,机械宠物。

我们给汽车起名字,在自己家的车道上精心打扮汽车,在汽车不能满足我们的需要时诅咒它们。

在折旧换新之时为旧车的离去而悲哀。

4 人们对汽车的热爱让环境保护者、安全为重的倡导者以及社会工程师们感到不安。

他们认为通往人间天堂的道路应该到处都铺设公交运输所必备的发亮轨道。

他们想象着我们加入未来拥挤不堪的自行车行列,而不是像一位激动不已的评论家所预见的那样,坐在“傲慢的双轮马车”方向盘后。

这种态度不是现在才有的。

首先是铁路,接着是汽车造成的人口流动早已使得守旧的特权阶层感到不安。

在战场上有过辉煌,但却以鄙视下层民众而出名的威林顿公爵在150年前就曾反对英国发展铁路,这是因为火车只会怂恿普通人毫无意义地到处走动。

Find out the famous Chinese poems about the moon, and try to translate the following poem into English.李白诗一首床前明月光, Before my bedThere is bright moonlight疑是地上霜. So that it seemsLike frost on the ground.举头望明月, Lifting my headI watch the bright moon,低头思故乡. Lowering my headI dream that I'm home.Another poem for reference:李白词一首秋风清,秋月明The autumn wind is lightThe autumn moon is bright;落叶聚还散 Fallen leaves gather but then disperse,寒鸦栖复惊 A cold crow roosts but again he stirs;相思相见知何日 I think of you, and wonder when I'll see you again? 此时此夜难为情 At such an hour,on such a night,cruel is love's pain. Translation of the Text月亮升起来彼得·斯坦哈特我家附近有座小山.晚上,我常爬上山去.此时,城市的喧嚣成了遥远的低语.在这黑夜的静谧中,我可以尽情分享蟋蟀的欢乐,感受猫头鹰的自信.可我上山是来看月出的,因为这可以让我重新得到在城市中失去的宁静与清新.在这座山上,我已欣赏过许多次月亮升起的景象.每一次月的姿容脾性都有所不同.秋天,满月如轮,充满自信;春天,月亮灰蒙蒙,羞羞答答;冬天,银白的月亮挂在漆黑的、悄无声息的夜空中,显得那般孤寂;夏天,橘黄的月似被烟尘笼罩,俯瞰干燥的田野.每一种月亮,都像美妙的音乐,震动我的心灵,令我的灵魂平静.观月自古有之.在远古的猎人眼里,月亮如同心跳一样准确无误.他们知道每29天,月亮都要变得明亮饱满,然后萎缩、消失,然后又再复活;他们知道,月盈期间,每经一次日落,头顶的月亮就会显得更高更大;他们还知道月亏期间,月亮每晚都要迟迟升起,待到日出才落.他们竟能从经验中了解到月亮的行踪变化,真可谓心深意广.但我们这些人却因深居室内,与月亮失去了联系.城市炫目的街灯、污浊的烟尘掩盖了夜晚的天空.虽然人类已在月亮上行走过,但月亮对于我们却更加陌生了.有几人能说得出今晚月亮会几时升起.但无论怎样,月亮依旧牵动我们的心灵.倘若我们偶尔遇见一轮黄灿灿的满月高悬中天,谁都会禁不住停下来凝神仰望她尊贵的姿容.而月亮也向注视她的人赐予厚礼.我了解到她的馈赠是在山间七月的一个夜晚.我的车突然熄火,将我孤身一人网在山中.太阳已经西沉,我看见东边山头涌出一团橘红色的明光,好像森林起火一般,俄而山头自己也似乎迸出火焰,一会儿,大大的月亮涨红着脸,从密林中鬼魅似地钻了出来,夏天空气中弥漫的尘雾与汗气把它变得丑陋不堪.大地灼热的呼吸扭曲了它,它变得格外暴噪,不再完美.附近农舍的狗紧X地狂吠起来,以为这团奇怪的光亮叫醒了野草中的魔鬼.然而当月亮缓缓升起,离开山头,它变得坚定、威严;它的面孔也由红变成了橘红,又变成金色,最后是平静的明黄色.它似乎从渐暗的大地中吸取了光明,因为随着它的升起,下面的丘陵山谷愈来愈黯淡朦胧.待到皓月当空,满月如盘,闪烁着象牙般乳白的清辉,山谷便成了风景中一片片幽深的阴影.那些狗明白了那团光原是它们熟悉的月亮,也安定下来,停止了吼叫.霎时间,我也觉得信心倍增,心情舒畅,近乎笑了起来.这奇特的景观持续了一个小时.月出是缓慢的,充满神奇.观看月出,我们得回到过去那种对时间的耐心中去.观看月亮不可阻挡地升到空中就能让我们内心安宁,我们的神思能让我们看到宇宙的广漠和大地的宽阔,能让我们忘掉自己.我们觉得自身渺小,却又深感大自然的厚待.月色下,我们看不到生活中坚硬的棱角.山坡在月光下如同笼上了柔和的轻纱,一片银白;海水在月光下碧蓝而静谧;我们在月光下也不再像白日那般精于算计,而是沉醉于自然的情感中.这个时候,奇特的事发生了.在那个七月的夜晚,我看了一两个小时的月景后,回到车中,转动钥匙点火,发动机居然响了起来,就像几个小时前熄火那般突然而神秘.我驱车沿着山路回家,肩上披着明月,心灵一片宁静.后来我常回到山上观月,尤其是在接踵而来的事使我身心疲惫、头晕眼花时.这种境况经常发生在秋天,这时我就登上那座小山,守候猎人的月亮出现,等着那金色的圆月俯照大地,为黑夜带来光明.一只猫头鹰自山头俯冲下来,静悄悄地如一团火焰闪过,一只蟋蟀在草丛长鸣.我想起了诗人和音乐家,想起了贝多芬的"月光奏鸣曲〞和莎士比亚笔下《威尼斯商人》中洛伦佐的话:"月光沉睡在这岸边多么轻柔!/我们要坐在这里让音乐之声/潜入我们的耳内.〞我不知道他们的诗篇与音乐,连同蟋蟀的歌声,是否都可算作月的声音.想到这些,我那些城市化的昏乱心绪也融化在了夜的幽静之中.恋人和诗人在夜里能找到生活更深刻的意义.其实我们都爱问一些深刻的问题——我们的祖先是什么?我们的命运在哪里?我们不喜欢那些统治着白天世界的刻板的几何教科书,都愿意沉溺于永远找不到答案的谜团中.在夜里,我们都成了哲人和神秘主义者.月出之时,当我们放慢自己的思想,让它跟随天围的脚步,一种心醉神迷的感觉就会流遍全身.我们会打开情感的窗口,会让白天被理智锁住的那部分思绪尽情奔涌.我们有越过遥远的时空,听见远古猎人的低语,再次看到很久以前的恋人与诗人眼中的世界.Lesson TwoEthics and CompetitivenessPreparing to ReadTips for the teacherThe text is about ethics in business; hence the purpose of this exercise is tolet the studentsunderstand how important ethics is in doing business. The teacher can adopt several steps achievingthe aim. First, let the students talk about the various businesses that involve ethics. Second, let thestudents understand the dangers of illegal business practices in American or Chinese corporations,so that the students' interest in the text will be aroused.Background Information1. Introduction to the author and the text: John F. Akers, born on 28 Dec. 1934 chairman and CEOof IBM 1985-1993.A graduate of Yale, Mr. Akers joined IBM in 1960 as a sales trainee in San Franciscofollowing active duty as a Navy carrier pilot. After various marketing assignments, he was namedpresident of the Data Processing Division, then IBM's largest domestic marketing unit, in 1974at age 39. He became a vice president in 1976, a senior vice president in 1982 and president in1983. This article "Ethics andcompetitiveness - putting first things first" was first published in1989 in Sloan Management Review, winter, 69-71.2. American Education System:Most Americans attend twelve years of primary and secondaryschool. With a secondary school "'high school"> diploma or certificate, a student can enter college,university, vocational <job training> school, secretarial school, and other professional schools.Primary and Secondary School: Begins around age six for U.S. children. They attend five orsix years of primary school. Next they go to secondary school, which consists of either two three-year programs or a three-year and a four-year program. These are called "middle school" or "juniorhigh school" and "senior high school" <often just called "high school">. Americans call thesetwelve years of primary and secondary school the first through twelfth "grades."Higher Education: After finishing high school <twelfth grade>, U.S. students may go on tocollege or university. College or university study is known as"higher education." You shouldfind out which level of education in your country corresponds to the twelfth grade in the U.S.A.You also should ask your educational advisor or guidance counselor whether you must spend anextra year or two preparing for U.S. admission. In some countries, employers and the governmentdo not recognize a U.S. education if a student entered a U.S. college or university before he orshe could enter university at home.3. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow <1807-1882>:American poet, one of the mostpopular andcelebrated poets of his time. Born in Portland, Maine<then in Massachusetts>, Longfellow waseducated at Bowdoin College. After graduating in 1825 he traveled in Europe in preparationfor a teaching career. He taught modern languages at Bowdoin from 1829 to 1835. In late 1835,during a second trip to Europe, Longfellow's wife, Mary Storer Potter, died in Rotterdam, theNetherlands. Longfellow returned to the United States in 1836 and began teaching at HarvardUniversity.In 1843 he remarried, to Fanny Appleton. After retiring from Harvard in 1854,Longfellow devoted himself exclusively to writing. He was devastated when in 1861 his secondwife was burned to death in a household accident. He commemorated her shortly before his owndeath with the sonnet "The Cross of Snow" <1879>. In 1884 a bust of Longfellow was placed inthe Poets' Corner of Westminster Abbey in London; he was the first American to be thus honored.《人生颂》——年青人的心对歌者说的话朗费罗不要在哀伤的诗句里告诉我:"人生不过是一场幻梦!〞灵魂睡着了,就等于死了,事物的真相与外表不同.人生是真切的!人生是实在的!它的归宿决不是荒坟;"你本是尘土,必归于尘土〞, 这是指躯壳,不是指灵魂.我们命定的目标和道路不是享乐,也不是受苦;而是行动,在每个明天都超越今天,跨出新步.智艺无穷,时光飞逝;这颗心,纵然勇敢坚强,也只如鼙鼓,闷声敲动着,一下又一下,向坟地送丧.世界是一片辽阔的战场,人生是到处扎寨安营;莫学那听人驱策的哑畜,做一个威武善战的英雄!别指望将来,不管它多可爱!把已逝的过去永久掩埋!行动吧-趁着活生生的现在!心中有赤心,头上有真宰!伟人的生平启示我们:我们能够生活得高尚,而当告别人世的时候,留下脚印在时间的沙上;也许我们有一个兄弟航行在庄严的人生大海,遇险沉了船,绝望的时刻,会看到这脚印而振作起来.那么,让我们起来干吧,对任何命运要敢于担戴;不断地进取,不断地追求,要善于劳动,善于等待.A Psalm of LifeHenry Wadsworth LongfellowTell me not, in mournful numbers, "Life is but an empty dream!" For the soul is dead that slumbers, And things are not what they seem. Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; "Dust thou art,to dust returnest," Was not spoken of the soul.Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,Is our destined end or way;But to act, that each to-morrow Find us farther than to-day.Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave,Still, like muffled drums, are beatingFuneral marches to the grave.In the world's broad field of battle,In the bivouac of life,Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant! Let the dead Past bury its dead! Act, - act in the living Present! Heart within, and God o'evhead! Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us. Footprints on the sand of time.; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate;Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.NotesKey to ExercisesI. Reading Comprehension1. The issue Akers discusses is the relationship between ethics and competitiveness.2. When they think of competitiveness, they should think not just of seeking their own selfish advantage, but of striving to improve living standards for all. When they think of ethics, they should think not just as managers focusing on business ethics, but as citizens of a larger society.3. Ethics and competitiveness are inseparable because we compete as a society.4.The greater the measure of mutual trust and confidence in the ethics of a society, the greater its economic strength.5. First, we should fortify the practical ethical buttresses; second, ethical instruction must include ademanding study of history and literature; and above all we should keep our priorities straight.6.They are role modelsthe honor system, and codes of conduct.7. We should start with a clear-cut study of the past, because our ethical standards come out of the past.8.What bothers Akers is that they have missed the humane lessons in individual ethical conduct,which can be found in the annals of world history, the biographies of great men and women and works of literature.9. He thinks that the good of an entire society counts more than that of any single corporation.10. We remember him because he did not see winning or self-advancement or even life itself as the only thing. He saw his newly born nation greater than himself.II. Structure of the text1. Introduction<Paras.1-5>A central subject in international business competition is ethics. We are urged to look atethics and competitiveness with a wide angle of vision.Ethics and competitiveness are inseparable, they are important not only in running acompany. but also in running and managing a country. 2. Body <Paras.6-23>1> Ethical buttressesA. We should fortify the practical ethical buttresses that help allof us know and understand and do exactly what is required of us.The simplest and most powerful buttress is the role model.B. There are other ethical buttresses such as the institutionalbuttresses honor system.C. There are professional standards and business codes of conduct.2> Ethics teachingA.

Summon道德和竞争力John. F. Akers1 我想谈谈国际经济竞争中的一个核心问题:道德.在一开始我想奉劝我们所有的管理层人员应该以宽阔的视野来看待这两个词,即道德和竞争力.在我们想到竞争力的时候,我们不应该只想到像美国人,欧洲人或日本人那样追求我们自己的利益,贪得无厌;而是应该像管理者们那样在日益相互依存的世界里心中怀有提高全人类的生活水平的大志,努力工作,争取成功.而在我们想到道德的时候,我们不该像那些只是把重点放在自己的狭窄领地即商业道德上的管理者,而是应该像一个宽广社会里的公民.2 道德和竞争力是不可分的.我们处在一个竞争的社会中.没有哪一个社会的竞争会因为下列情形而长久和成功的:人们彼此背后相互使坏;互相偷窃;由于缺乏诚信而事事公证;一点争吵就会诉诸法律;或政府为了保证诚实的商业运行而制定很多各种各样束缚手脚的法规.3 这不仅仅会成为公司经营中令人头痛的事情,也会让国家成为一个浪费、低效和缺乏竞争力的国家.一个不可逃避的事实是:在一个道德社会中人们之间相互信任和忠诚度越高,它的经济力量就越强.4 我并不是说我们美国这里天要塌下来.我不认为在我们过去美好的时光中道德水准已经很高了而我们现在是道德滑坡.当然,我们确实存在道德和竞争力的问题,这一点无可质疑.我们一直都看到关于不道德行为的报导:教会领导层聚会时发生偷窃;华尔街上靠内部##消息发财的掮客;各种政客和权利贩子;剽窃的法学专业的学生;篡改研究数据的医学教授;贩卖##情报的国防部雇员.但我们大多数人都同意托马斯·杰弗逊关于所有人都生来具有道德意识的观点——个整日耕作的普通农民可以和一个大学教授一样具有道德意识.如杰弗逊一样,我们可以相信大街上的入,不论这大街是在阿蒙克,在旧金山,或者牛津,伦敦,巴黎或东京.5 这种道德意识不是凭空而来的,也不会自动永远存在下去.每一代人都要让它保存并发扬光大.为此,我们每个人都要想出些策略.下面是三个建议.道德基础6 首先,我们要加强日常生活中的道德基础的培养,让我们从孩提时代起就明白并理解,继而按照要求行事.最简单也是最有用的道德基石就是榜样:父母或其他人言传身教为我们树立榜样,使我们明白是非好坏.在我一生所有的榜样中,我认为起作用时间最长的就是我的祖父了,一个坚强的新英格兰地区中学校长.我的房间里挂着他的肖像.直到今天,每当我走过他的肖像前我都会挺直腰板,还要检查一下我的领带是否打好了.7 还有许多其它方面的道德基础.有些尽管有一点傲慢和世俗但却是简单的信条:"童子军是可信的,忠诚的,助人的,友好的,礼貌的,善良的,听话的,快乐的,节俭的,勇敢的,整洁的和虔诚的〞;或者"军校生不会说谎,欺骗或偷盗或容忍其他人欺骗和说谎与偷盗.〞有些道德行为已经形成制度化,如诚信制度.大学里的学生依照诚信制度来约束自己,保证不剽窃和考试作弊.我觉得好笑的是,甚至在神学院,法学院和哲学系里,更不用说大学的其它科系了,在考试的时候学院要雇来监考者在走廊里踱来踱去以防止有人考试时候偷看笔记或抄袭邻座.令人遗撼的是,在杰弗逊提倡先在弗吉尼亚大学实行诚信制度的150年后,并非所有的美国大学和学院都采纳了这一制度.8 最后,还有从业标准和商业行为规X,它们都对下列事情有严格的规定:如股票内部交易,馈赠和娱乐,回扣与利益冲突.如果认为这些道德准则会解决我们所有的问题就太天真了.但是,若想没有这些明确的要求和了解违反这些要求引起的后果,人们也一样会按道德准则行为,那这种想法也同样是天真的.我们的学校能教授道德吗?9 到了该认真考虑学校的道德课的时候了.这里我不仅仅指商学院的研究生院.众人皆知约翰·山德将捐赠给哈佛商学院近3 000万美元用于其道德课的教学和研究.我们也知道麻省理工的斯罗恩学院院长兰斯特·苏罗和其他教育家已经对这个举措表示了公开的置疑.10 先弄清楚我们在说什么吧.很多商界人士在面对大学生听众时都对他们的一些脱口而出的断言感到吃惊:如在南非做生意、为军队制造武器、反对兴建日托所、建核工厂、甚至谋取利润都显然是不道德的.若想让年轻人清楚地了解这些问题的复杂性——而这些问题是不能用伪善的答案去搪塞的——还要做大量的工作.相反,这些问题需要一个明确的定义和敏锐的分析,需要对公司的责任有清醒的认识,而公司对员工,股东与国家所持的责任有时是相互冲突的,需要经历艰难的、甚至痛苦的抉择.11 我完全赞同在商学院和大学的其它系所进行这种道德教育,它可以加强学生们的这种分析能力.我也赞同对工作场所安全性、消费者保护、环境监督与团体内部员工个人的权利等方面进行的道德审查.12 但想一想塞缪尔·约翰逊曾经说的话吧:如果一个人不能区分好恶,"他一出我们的家门,我们就数羹匙是否少了.〞如果一个工商管理硕士生不能区分诚实与犯罪,说谎和讲真话,那么商学院就完全有可能培养不出来一个个非常虔诚敬业的学生.13 对于为什么说偷偷摸摸,行骗欺诈,盗窃财物这样的事情是不好的,这种最基础和根本的教育,在工商管理学院里进行就太晚了,内容也太简单了.这里不是开始这些课的地方.开始的地方应该是幼儿园.14 可以肯定的是,对于是否在上课时进行祈祷存在着很多和宪法相关的麻烦问题与其它问题.但我们不需要等到所有的问题有了答案——若真有这一天——再开始学校里的道德教育.我们可以现在就开始,从幼儿园到中学,但不是硬塞给学生们一些模糊的抽象"价值观〞.我是指我们应该对过去的历史有个清楚明了的了解.我们的道德准则始于过去,始于我们的民族传统:##,哲学和历史.我们对于过去了解得越多,我们就越能在未来踏踏实实地教授道德准则.15 参议员丹尼尔说,如果你想了解塔米·贝克你就得读辛克莱·路易斯的作品;如果你想了解股票内部交易,读读易达·塔贝尔的著作;如果想了解在弱肉强食的地方掠夺者获利而社会遭殃的情况下如何行事,读读霍布斯和洛克的书.若想了解社会的要求和个体良知的冲突,读读梭罗的论公民的不服从和索福克洛斯的安提格涅;若想了解礼仪,读读孔子的书,若想了解勇气,节制,真诚和公平,读读亚里斯多德的书或圣经.16 在我听说美国的高中生不太知道或完全不知道乔叟或惠特曼或美国内战或1日约中的预言书时,我担心的不是他们的无知,而是他们丢失了我们在世界历史、名人传记与富于高度想象力的文学作品中能够发现的蕴藏在一个个道德行为中的高尚的人文素养.17 一个古典文学作家曾定义历史为"实例中的哲学〞.亨利·朗费罗,美国的牛津城布拉特大街上一个很有名的居民,是这样优雅地总结的:伟人的生平启示我们:我们能够生活得高尚,而当告别人世的时候,留下脚印在时间的沙上.首要的事情先做18 我的第三个建议是,牢记顺序,最重要的事情先做.19 我们都听到过目光短浅的生意人把下面这句话当作是朗巴迪说的:"成功不是最重要的,但是唯一要做的事情.〞对于鼓舞团队±气,这句话确实很好,但作为商业理念,它就是一派胡言.这里还有一段稍好一点的话:朗巴迪曾经希望他的队员有三种忠诚:对上帝,对家庭,还有对〔绿湾包装工〕橄榄球球队,"并按此顺序〞.20 他知道哪些事情更重要.商界人士可以毫不掩饰地为他们自己的公司而感到骄傲.但整个社会的利益超越了任何一个公司的利益.整个世界的道德秩序超越了任何一个单一的国家.一个人如果不了解商业在更大X围内的地位,他就不可能成为优秀的商界领袖,或好医生,或好的律师、工程师.。

Unit1 从能力到责任[全文翻译]1 当代的大学生对他们在社会中所扮演的角色的认识模糊不清。

他们致力于寻求在他们看来似乎是最现实的东西:追求安全保障,追逐物质财富的积累。

年轻人努力想使自己成人成才、有所作为,但他们对未来的认识还是很模糊的。

处于像他们这样前程未定的年龄阶段,他们该信仰什么?大学生一直在寻找真我的所在,寻找生活的意义。

一如芸芸众生的我们,他们也陷入了两难的境地。

一方面,他们崇尚奉献于人的理想主义,而另一方面,他们又经不住自身利益的诱惑,陷入利己主义的世界里欲罢不能。

2 最终而言,大学教育素质的衡量取决于毕业生是否愿意为他们所处的社会和赖以生存的城市作出贡献。

尼布尔曾经写道:“一个人只有意识到对社会所负有的责任,他才能够认识到自身的潜力。

一个人如果一味地以自我为中心,他将会失去自我。

”本科教育必须对这种带有理想主义色彩的观念进行自我深省,使学生超越以自我为中心的观念,以诚相待,服务社会。

在这一个竞争激烈\残酷的社会,人们期望大学生能报以正直、文明,,甚至富有同情心的人格品质去与人竞争,这是否已是一种奢望?人们期望大学的人文教育会有助于培养学生的人际交往能力,如今是否仍然适合?3毫无疑问,大学生应该履行公民的义务。

美国的教育必须立刻采取行动,使教育理所当然地承担起弥合公共政策与公众的理解程度之间的极具危险性且在日益加深的沟壑这一职责。

那些要求人们积极思考政府的议程并提供富于创意的意见的信息似乎越来越让我们感到事不关己。

所以很多人认为想通过公众的参与来解决复杂的公共问题已不再可能行得通。

设想,怎么可能让一些非专业人士去讨论必然带来相应后果的政府决策的问题,而他们甚至连语言的使用都存在困难?4核能的使用应该扩大还是削弱?水资源能保证充足的供应吗?怎样控制军备竞赛?大气污染的安全标准是多少?甚至连人类的起源与灭绝这样近乎玄乎的问题也会被列入政治议事日程。

5 类似的一头雾水的感觉,公众曾经尝试过。

TEXT A 从柏柏尔人到巴赫的全球化路径作为一个专业大提琴家,在过去30年,我在这条道上花了相当于两个完整的十年来学习和表演音乐传统和文化。

我的旅行使我相信,在我们的全球化世界中,文化传统形成了以身份,社会稳定和相互帮助为主的重要框架。

一个快速变化的世界必然会让我们造成文化上的不安全感,使人们质疑自己的地位。

全球化常常让我们适应别人的规则,这似乎威胁了个人的身份。

这自然使我们紧张,因为这些规则要求我们改变我们的历史悠久的习惯。

因此,对于今天的全球化领导者的关键问题是:习惯和文化该如何演变来加入一个更大的星球,同时不牺牲独特的身份和个人的自豪感?我的音乐之旅提醒我,全球化带来的互动不仅仅是破坏文化,他们可以创造新的文化,振兴和传播已经存在多年的传统。

它与生态术语“边缘效应”不同,后者用于描述当两个不同的生态系统相遇例如森林和大草原时会发生什么。

在那个界面上,密度最小的地方生命形式最多样化,每个生物都可以在两个生态系统的核心中找到。

有时候最有趣的事情发生在边缘。

在交叉处有着令人意外的组成。

文化这块织布是由世界各个角落的人汇聚而成的。

发现世界的一种方法是深入挖掘它的传统。

例如,在音乐方面,任何大提琴手的核心是巴赫的《无伴奏大提琴组曲》。

而其中每个组曲的心脏是一个称为萨拉班德舞的舞蹈。

这个舞蹈起源于北非柏柏尔人的音乐,那里是一个缓慢,性感的舞蹈。

它下一次出现在西班牙,在那里被禁止,因为它被认为猥亵和淫荡。

西班牙人把它带到美洲,但它也前往法国,在那里它成为一个戏剧性的舞蹈。

在1720年代,巴赫将其合并到《无伴奏大提琴组曲》中。

今天,我,一个中国人在巴黎生的美国人,也在玩巴赫。

那么,谁真正拥有萨拉班德舞?每个文化都包含着音乐,并赋予其特定的意义,但每个文化必须共享所有权:它属于我们所有。

1998年,我成立了丝绸之路项目,研究数千年来地中海与太平洋之间许多文化之间的思想流动。

当丝绸之路合奏团演出时,我们试图将大部分世界的文化带到一个舞台上。

《学术英语综合》季佩英版课文翻译感谢看不见的手感谢全能的上帝是感恩节的主题,自从清教徒带来了他们的第一批丰收的朝圣者...直到今天,在全国数以百万计的家庭中,上帝会感谢许多礼物、餐桌上的盛宴和亲属的陪伴、健康和好运,在过去的一年里,和平的家庭,生来或成为美国人获得了无数特权。

但这可能不会发生,因为我们太感谢了。

本周当地超市有很多火鸡出售。

尽管不虔诚地感谢上帝的飞行安排,一些亲戚还是飞回家过感恩节。

或者让当地电影院掌握周末时间和(电影名称)的到来。

或者报纸上蓝莓苹果派食谱的食物部分。

这些事情我们或多或少都认为是理所当然的这几乎不需要奇迹来解释为什么感恩节前杂货店的存货是火鸡存货,或者为什么好莱坞电影在假期上映。

这就是他们所做的然而,上帝在哪里呢?在你的感恩节周末里,没有什么是美妙的——几乎无法解释的——对许多陌生人来说,技能和劳动是可能的火鸡餐桌,例如,家禽饲养者饲养的鸟,需要成千上万的人努力工作,当然,也为卡车司机提供营养和饲料经销商,卡车司机把它带到农场,更不用说由建筑师设计的孵化场,建造它的工人,以及保持它运转的技术人员这只鸟已经被宰杀、拔毛,运输和卸载袋的价格也已经被检查和展示完成这些任务的人是由其他人的军队完成的,其他人完成了其他任务——从提炼汽油、加油车到制作塑料肉包。

无数的活动在结婚几个月后,远方的男人和女人必须精心设计和精确计时,这样才能有一种或多种可能,有几十种可能等着你去买新鲜的感恩节火鸡。

协调的程度,关闭它的需要令人难以置信。

但是更不可思议的是没有协调没有哪个火鸡沙皇坐在指挥所里,查阅主人的程序。

命令人们四处走动没有人能驾驭所有的人,迫使他们为了你的利益而合作。

然而,他们合作了当你到达超市时,那里有四只火鸡你不需要做任何事情,但是如果你买了它,这是一个奇迹。

我们应该叫它什么?亚当·斯密称之为“看不见的手”,这导致了无数为自己的利益而工作的人的神秘力量,他们为达到目的而努力,并从中受益匪浅。
