Starting out—Task 3
Dear John,
I used to live a life just like yours. I can see myself in you when I finished my college and started my first job. I found a job as junior reporter for Chicago Daily so I moved from Houston to Chicago. I was working 18 hours a day in a place where I knew few people. My health finally broke down from too much work and poor diet. I stayed in hospital for two weeks. My parents came to Chicago and took care of me. After I was out of hospital, I quitted my job and moved back to Houston, where I found a job in a local newspaper. I visited my parents often and I had time to hang around with my friends whom I had known for years as well as those I newly made. I felt happy finally.

Unit 1-1Catching crabs1 In the fall of our final year, our mood changed. The relaxed atmosphere of the preceding summer semester, the impromptu ball games, the boating on the Charles River, the late-night parties had disappeared, and we all started to get our heads down, studying late, and attendance at classes rose steeply again. We all sensed we were coming to the end of our stay here, that we would never get a chance like this again, and we became determined not to waste it. Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year. No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard was strong. Libraries which were once empty after five o'clock in the afternoon were standing room only until the early hours of the morning, and guys wore the bags under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence.2 But there was something else. At the back of everyone's mind was what we would do next, when we left university in a few months' time. It wasn't always the high flyers with the top grades who knew what they were going to do. Quite often it was the quieter, less impressive students who had the next stages of their life mapped out. One had landed a job in his brother's advertising firm in Madison Avenue, another had got a script under provisional acceptance in Hollywood. The most ambitious student among us was going to work as a party activist at a local level. We all saw him ending up in the Senate or in Congress one day. But most people were either looking to continue their studies, or to make a living with a white-collar job in a bank, local government, or anything which would pay them enough to have a comfortable time in their early twenties, and then settle down with a family, a mortgage and some hope of promotion.3 I went home at Thanksgiving, and inevitably, my brothers and sisters kept asking me what I was planning to do. I didn't know what to say. Actually, I did know what to say, but I thought they'd probably criticize me, so I told them what everyone else was thinking of doing.4 My father was watching me but saying nothing. Late in the evening, he invited me to his study. We sat down and he poured 抓螃蟹1.大学最后一年的秋天，我们的心情变了。

研究生英语系列教材综合教程(下)课文翻译Unit 1愉悦舒适不能指引你领略人生的全部，与逆境的艰苦搏斗常常会使人生变得丰富而有意义。

幸福隐藏的另一面凯思琳•麦克高恩1 咫风、房屋失火、癌症、激流漂筏失事、坠机、昏暗小巷遭歹徒袭击，没人想找上这些事儿。

但出人意料的是，很多人发现遭受这样一次痛苦的磨难最终会使他们向好的方面转变。

他们可能都会这样说:“我希望这事没发生，但因为它我变得更完美了。

对那些令人极度恐慌的经历作出积极回应的并不仅限于最坚强或最勇敢的人。

实际上，大约半数与逆境抗争过的人都说他们的生活从此在某些方面有了改善。

3 诸如此类有关危机改变一生的发现有着可观的研究前景，这正是创伤后成长这一新学科的研究领域。

这一新兴领域已经证实了曾经被视为陈词滥调的一个真理:大难不死，意志弥坚。

创伤后压力绝不是唯一可能的结果。

在遭遇了即使最可怕的经历之后，也只有一小部分成年人会受到长期的心理折磨。

更常见的情况是，人们会恢复过来—甚至最终会成功发达。

4 那些经受住苦难打击的人是有关幸福悖论的生动例证:为了尽可能地过上最好的生活，我们所需要的不仅仅是愉悦的感受。

我们这个时代的人对幸福的追求已经缩小到只追求福气:一生没有烦恼，没有痛苦和困惑。

5 这种对幸福的平淡定义忽略了问题的主要方面—种富有意义的生活所带来的那种丰富、完整的愉悦。

那就是幸福背后隐藏的那种本质—是我们在明智的男男女女身上所欣赏到并渴望在我们自己生活中培育的那种不可言喻的品质。

6 这种对美好生活的更为广泛的定义把深深的满足感和一种通过移情与他人建立的深切联系融合在一起。

它主要受愉悦情感的支配，但同时也夹杂着惆怅和悔恨。

密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校的心理学家劳拉•金认为:“幸福仅仅是许许多多人生价值中的一种。

”慈悲、智慧、无私、洞察力及创造力—有时只有经历逆境的考验才能培育这些品质，因为有时只有极端的情形才能迫使我们去承受痛苦的改变过程。

只过安宁的、无忧无虑的生活是不足以体验一段完整的人生的。

我们也需要成长-尽管有时成长是痛苦的。

7 在纽约市皇后区一间漆黑的房间里，31岁的时装设计师特蕾西•塞尔感到自己奄奄一息。

就在几个月前，她已经停止服用控制她关节炎的强效免疫抑制药。

她从没预见到接下来将要发生的事:停药之后的反应最终使她全身剧烈疼痛，神经系统出现严重问题。

最轻微的动作—比如说试着吞咽—对她来说也痛苦不堪。

甚至将脸压在枕头上也几乎难以忍受。

8 塞尔并不是懦弱的人。

她在两岁时就被诊断得了幼年型类风湿性关节炎，一生都在忍受着病症和治疗(药物、手术)的折磨。

但是这一次，她实在不堪忍受了，她的医生所做的一切似乎都不起作用。

要么让疾病结束她的生命，要么她就得很快了结自己的生命了。

9 然而，在经历了若干个不眠之夜后，她想自杀的念头开始被新的感激之情所打断。

虽然她仍然感到痛苦，但一种新的意识每一夜都变得更加强烈:一种令人惊叹的解脱感，结合着一种包容一切的同情和怜悯的情感。

“我感到一切我曾经用来认同•自己身份的东西都被剥夺了，”六个月后她这样说道，“一切我认为我知道或相信的事物—时间、金钱、自我形象、对事物的看法—都毫无价值了。

意识到这一点真是让我感到解脱。

”10 在几个月内，得益于类固醇加其他药物的鸡尾酒疗法，她开始能够更加自如地活动了。

她说，毫无疑问她现在的生活状况有了好转。

“我感觉我窥探到了生命的秘密以及我们生存的意义，那就是快乐地生活，同时扶持他人。

就这么简单!”11 她这种不可思议的经历完全是个惊喜。

但是北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校心理学教授里奇•特德斯基认为，这种转变的感觉从某些方面看却是很典型的。

里奇•特德斯基教授首创了“创伤后成长”一词。

他对那些经历了诸如搏斗、暴力犯罪、突患重病等极端事件的人群进行了研究，这些研究表明，在刚经历不幸后大多数人随即都会感到茫然和焦虑。

他们一心想的就是，自己的生活完全被毁了。

有少部分人事后很久了还不断被记忆问题、失眠以及类似的创伤后应激障碍所折磨。

但特德斯基和其他学者发现，对很多人(可能甚至是绝大多数人)来说，生活最终会变得更加丰富和更加令人满足。

12 许多经历过恐怖的人身威胁的人会遇到类似的情况。

在事情发生的那一瞬间，我们的安全感被冲破了，平时处于我们与我们对世界的种种看法之间的自我保护的精神盔甲被剥离了。

我们的日常生活轨迹(我们的习惯、自我认识和主观意念)全部被抛到九霄云外，只剩下对世界的原始体验。

13 尽管如此，要实际实现这些转变并完全接受新的现实，通常需要有意识地付出努力。

是否愿意并有能力承担这个过程，就是那些在灾难中成长和那些被灾难所摧毁的人之间主要的区别之一。

认为灾难有价值的人并不是最坚强或最理性的人。

使他们与众不同的是他们能够将所遭遇的事融入他们自己的人生历程中。

”14 最终，他们可能会发现自己以从未想到过的方式获得了解脱。

幸存者往往说他们变得更加宽容，也更能原谅别人，能够缓和原本糟糕的关系。

他们说物质追求突然间变得很无聊，而朋友和家庭带来的快乐变得极为重要，他们还说危机使他们能够按照这些新的优先之事来重新认识生活。

15 从灾难中成长起来的人尽管经历过恐怖的事情，但他们的恐惧感往往大为减少。

他们对自己的力量感到吃惊，相信不管今后生活中将要遭遇什么，他们都能应付。

特德斯基说:“人们不会说他们所经历的是美好的。

他们并不是特意要通过这样的经历来成长。

他们只是尽其所能生存下来。

但回顾起来，他们的收获远远大于他们所预料的。

”16 埃默里大学精神病学家格列高利•伯思斯在他的近作《满足》中指出，极限耐力运动员每次训练都要使自己的身体连续数天处于极限状态。

他们和经历创伤的幸存者所经历的感觉过程一样:自我失落，困惑，最后获得一种新的驾驭感。

对于经常跑超过24小时的l00英里比赛的超级马拉松运动员来说，呕吐和产生幻觉是常事。

在一昼夜不停歇不睡觉地跑步之后，竞赛者有时会忘了自己是谁，忘了自己在干什么。

17 更普遍的在逆境中成长的例子要数生命中最大的挑战之一:为人父母。

生育孩子一直被认为会降低幸福程度。

为了照顾婴儿而睡眠不足并且必须将自己的消遣撇到一边，意味着有了新生儿的人更有可能感到抑郁并且面临婚姻的危机。

然而，长远看来，养育孩子是所有人类活动中最有意义、最值得去做的一件事情。

短时间内牺牲了幸福，却有了更多的收获，比如满足感、无私以及有机会留下一笔意义深远的遗产。

18 总之，情感上的回报可以弥补灾难带来的痛苦和艰难。

这种精神收获并不能抵消所发生的苦难，但是它可以把这些苦难全部放在另一个不同的背景中来看待，..那就是即使我们面临约束和挣扎，我们仍然可以生存得极有价值。

金指出，我们所有的人都必须以这样或那样的形式经历这种觉悟。

“你将不再是自己心目中曾经的你，取而代之的是一个新的你—而事实会证明生活从此将非常美好。

”Unit 2商业化及其对于体育的影响杰•J.科克利1 在整个历史长河中，人们都是把体育当作某种形式的公众娱乐。

然而，体育从未像今天这样作为一种商业产品被如此盛大地包装、推广、呈现和开展，有关体育的决策以及与体育相关的社会关系也同样从未如此显然地受到商业因素的影响。

对许多人来说，账本底线已取代了球门线，体育不再只是为了运动员们自身的兴趣而存在。

今天，乐趣和“好比赛”的定义取决于门票收入、特许权收人、媒体传播权的出售、市场份额、收视率以及广告潜力。

那么，当体育变得商业化时，它会怎样?当体育变得依赖于门票收人和媒体传播权的出售时，它会发生变化吗?2 我们知道，每当任何一项体育运动被转化为商业性娱乐活动时，它的成功就依赖于观众的兴趣。

尽管观众对于体育的拥护背后潜藏着多种动机，但他们对体育比赛的兴趣通常与三种相结合的因素有关:比赛结果的不确定性，参加一项比赛相关的风险或经济回报，以及预期中的运动员的卓越、英勇表现。

换句话说，当观众提及一场“不错的比赛”或一场“激动人心的比赛”时，这场比赛，通常在比赛即将结束的最后几分钟甚至儿秒钟时，结果仍然扑朔迷离;或者比赛涉及高额奖金，因而运动员们都全身心地投入比赛。

或者比赛展示了许多出色的或者“英雄式”的表现。

只要运动比赛包含所有这三方面因素，人们就会长时间记得并讨论这场比赛。

3 商业化对于大多数体育运动的结构和目标没有太大的影响。

尽管观众会对其产生影响，但在历史上，运动项目保持了它们的基本结构。

创新也是在这一框架内进行的，并不会完全废除这项运动的基本设计。

例如、奥运会的商业化导致了某些赛事规则的微小变化但其每项运动的基本结构还是和商家赞助及电视转播权出售之前基本一致。

4 看来，与运动的结构和目的相比，商业化更多的是影响运动参与者的取向。

若要通过一项运动盈利，就必须吸引广大观众买门票或在电视上观看比赛。

吸引和娱乐广大观众并非易事，因为这些观众中有很多人没有技木性的知识，因而不懂得运动员和教练采取的复杂竞技技巧和策略。

由于缺乏这些技术性知识，人们容易受到运动或赛事之外的东西的影响，容易受到天花乱坠的宜传的迷惑。

在比赛期间，他们经常关注那些他们容易理解的事情。

他们喜欢那种运动员冒险并明显面临身体危险的情境，他们喜爱那些搜长戏剧化表现或者愿意超越正常的生理极限以致威胁到自己的安全和健康的运动员。

他们喜欢看到运动员不惜代价，立志求胜。

5 比如，当人们缺乏篮球方面的技术知识时，他们更津津乐道于某一个灌篮，而不会关注球队取胜必需的因素:自始至终配合得天衣无缝的后防。

同样，那些对滑冰技术知之甚少的人，他们更感兴趣的是三连跳或四连跳，而不是那些精心设计并训练直至流畅、完美的舞步。

没有惊险的跳跃，无知的观众会感到厌倦。

他们喜欢那些表现得激动人心或有争议性的运动员。

他们往往根据戏剧化的表现是否导致戏剧化的结果来评价比赛。

他们想看运动员在超越自己极限时偶尔的突然失败，而不是多年来稳操胜券，熟知自己极限而不去超越它的运动员。

6 当一项体育运动变得依赖于娱乐广大观众时，对于运动中什么才是重要的，运动参与者们往往会改变观念。

这一改变常常意味着重心从所谓的美学取向向英雄主义取向转变。

其实，运动员可能甚至把运动或比赛称为“表演秀”，并把自己称作表演者兼运动员。
