What Is Innovation and How Can Businesses Foster It?
什么是创新,企业如何促进创新?
[1] John Bessant, professor and author, explains why innovation is often confused with ideation (构思过程), and why learning from failure is so crucial to business success.
[1] 教授兼作家 John Bessant 解释了为什么创新经常与构思过程相混淆,以及为什么从失败中学习对企业成功如此重要。
How would you define innovation?
您如何定义创新?
[2] Innovation means creating value from ideas. While a lot of interest is in commercial value, a lot can be done with social value. For the Red Cross, creating social value is a case of life and death, and while it's not creating lots of money, it's creating real value from ideas such as simple low-cost hygiene (卫生清洁)products to avoid sanitation-linked(环境卫生相关的)infection. There should be no limits as to where innovation comes from. It can come from our own teams, what competitors are doing, and the market. Today, it's all about what users want and need, so it's up to businesses to make sure that they have a good set of antennae (E) to pick up on these trends.
[2] 创新意味着从想法中创造价值。虽然很多人都对商业价值感兴趣,但社会价值可以做很多事情。对于红十字会来说,创造社会价值是生死攸关的问题,虽然它不会创造大量资金,但它通过简单的低成本卫生(卫生清洁)产品等想法创造了真正的价值,以避免与卫生相关的(环境卫生相关的)感染。创新的来源不应该有限制。它可能来自我们自己的团队、竞争对手在做什么以及市场。今天,一切都与用户想要和需要什么有关,因此企业需要确保他们有一套好的天线 (E) 来捕捉这些趋势。
How do people commonly misdefine it?
人们通常如何错误地定义它?
[3] People conflate (混淆) ideation with innovation. If I have a great idea for a heart valve, I will need a long time to refine the idea, take on board other people's input and knowledge to develop it, and require users to test it. It's a long journey to create potential value from an idea.
[3] 人们将构思与创新混为一谈。如果我有一个关于心脏瓣膜的好主意,我将需要很长时间来完善这个想法,吸收其他人的意见和知识来开发它,并要求用户对其进行测试。从想法中创造潜在价值是一段漫长的旅程。
What ingredients are required for business innovation?
业务创新需要哪些要素?
[4] You need a roadmap for the journey to creating value, and a strategy that lays out where and how innovation is going to help your organization get to where it needs to be. Businesses then need to create an atmosphere where creativity is welcomed by making people feel like they can deliver an idea and that it's safe to share their own and link up with others.
[4] 您需要一个创造价值之旅的路线图,以及一个战略,阐明创新将在何处以及如何帮助您的组织达到需要的位置。然后,企业需要创造一种氛围,让人们觉得他们可以提出一个想法,并且可以安全地分享自己的想法并与他人建立联系,从而欢迎创造力。
[5] It's also crucial to collaborate. The need to build links has always been there, but today it's called "open innovation" — which means networking with people inside and outside of the organization.
[5] 合作也很重要。建立联系的需求一直存在,但今天它被称为“开放式创新”——这意味着与组织内外的人建立联系。
[6] Lastly, you need to give yourself time to reflect and improve your approach. The characteristic of companies such as Three mobile or Philips, which has been around for more than 100 years, is the need to adapt their innovation approach.
[6] 最后,您需要给自己时间来反思和改进您的方法。Three mobile 或 Philips 等公司已经存在了 100 多年,其特点是需要调整其创新方法。
What challenges might a larger company face when it comes to innovating?
大公司在创新方面可能面临哪些挑战?
[7] Any firm begins as a start-up with one idea - and while it's hard, it can make that happen. However, when you start to grow and have to balance multiple ideas, you need a portfolio of innovation. That means having some ideas that are long shots and some that are fairly safe.
[7] 任何公司都是从一个想法开始的初创公司——虽然这很困难,但它可以实现它。但是,当您开始发展并且必须平衡多种想法时,您需要一个创新组合。这意味着要有一些可能性很长的想法,也有一些相当安全的想法。
[8] Very often, organizations get stuck at playing safe, so their form of innovation becomes doing what they do better, and it becomes more incremental (逐渐增加的) as the organization tries to manage risks and maintain stability. But to survive, you need to stretch out and explore; balancing between the safe bets and long shots is a tension that many organizations need.
[8] 很多时候,组织会陷入安全游戏的困境,因此他们的创新形式变成了做他们做得更好的事情,并且随着组织试图管理风险和保持稳定,它变得更加渐进(逐渐增加的)。但要生存,你需要伸展身体并探索;在安全赌注和冷门之间取得平衡是许多组织需要的紧张关系。
Can you measure innovation?
您能衡量创新吗?
[9] You can measure what you put in, such as the money or the time that you give employees to work on the idea. You can do the same with things that come out, such as how many new products have been released in the past few years, as a proportion of the products that your organization offers. Or you can count the number and type of suggestions for innovation made by employees. It's also important to measure the process of how well a business is managing innovation, rather like going to the gym and running through how strong you are in different muscle groups.
[9] 您可以衡量您投入的金额,例如您给员工实现这个想法的金钱或时间。您可以对出现的内容执行相同的作,例如过去几年发布了多少新产品,占组织提供的产品的比例。或者您可以计算员工提出的创新建议的数量和类型。衡量企业管理创新的过程也很重要,就像去健身房了解不同肌肉群的强度一样。
What common mistakes do businesses make when it comes to innovation?
企业在创新方面常犯哪些错误?
[10] The most common is putting everything into an idea and never getting actual innovation. Businesses need to have some kind of process for translating those ideas into something that creates value. They also fall prey to becoming insular(孤立的;保守的)by not exploring all the possible spaces open for innovation. They will only focus on improving their products, for example, when they could also be innovating their processes at the same time.
[10] 最常见的是把所有东西都放在一个想法中,却从来没有得到真正的创新。企业需要有某种流程将这些想法转化为创造价值的东西。他们也成为变得孤立的牺牲品(孤立的;保守的)不探索所有可能的创新空间。他们只会专注于改进他们的产品,例如,当他们也可以同时创新他们的流程时。
Can you teach people to be innovative?
你能教人们创新吗?
[11] Yes. It's not just about technology, or asking the market what it wants, because they don't always know. Sometimes, as was the case with the iPhone, you have to lead the market. A popular idea at the moment is business model innovation, where companies are changing their identity from being a supplier to a creator of a specific service. Airbnb doesn't own a single hotel, but is the world's largest accommodation provider with its business model based on a platform enabling people to share their own spaces.
[11] 是的。这不仅仅是关于技术,或者询问市场想要什么,因为他们并不总是知道。有时,就像 iPhone 一样,您必须引领市场。目前一个流行的想法是商业模式创新,公司正在将其身份从供应商转变为特定服务的创建者。Airbnb 没有一家酒店,但它是全球最大的住宿提供商,其商业模式基于一个平台,使人们能够分享自己的空间。
[12] Consultants and lecturers can teach what to do but, in the end, mastering the technique and approach is up to individual businesses and people. They need the ability to manage innovations by being willing to admit that something didn't work in the past and seeing how it can work better in the future.
[12] 顾问和讲师可以教他们该做什么,但最终,掌握技术和方法取决于各个企业和人员。他们需要通过愿意承认某些事情在过去不起作用并看到它在未来如何更好地发挥作用来管理创新。

Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government officials always take extra time to be polite and offer refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this.
The conference visit is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted.
When an Arab says "yes", he may mean "maybe". When he says "maybe", he probably means "no". You will seldom get a direct "no" from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Instead of "no", he will say "inshallah", which means, "if God is willing". On the other hand, "yes" does not necessarily mean "yes". A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest.
阿拉伯人认为立即开始谈生意是极其不礼貌的。即使是最忙碌的政府官员也总是花额外的时间来保持礼貌并提供茶点。无论你有多忙,你都应该为此腾出时间。 会议访问是在整个阿拉伯世界开展业务的一种方式。通常,您将不得不在陌生人面前讨论您的业务,这些陌生人可能与您的业务无关,也可能无关。如果您的会议被未经通知进入房间、窃窃私语或轻声交谈然后离开的人打断了几次,请不要感到惊讶。表现得好像你没有听到一样,永远不要对被打断表示不满。 当阿拉伯人说“yes”时,他的意思是“也许”。当他说“也许”时,他的意思是“不”。你很少会从阿拉伯人那里直接说“不”,因为这被认为是不礼貌的。他不会说“不”,而是说“inshallah”,意思是“如果上帝愿意”。另一方面,“是”并不一定意味着“是”。微笑和缓慢的点头可能看起来像是一种协议,但实际上,您的主人是有礼貌的。阿拉伯人认为不同意客人的意见是不礼貌的。

We are in for more turbulence. The consequences are clearly spreading from Wall Street to Main Street. The recent performance of nonfinancial stocks indicates that investors are well aware of the fact.
我们将面临更多的动荡。后果显然正在从华尔街蔓延到主街。非金融股票最近的表现表明投资者很清楚这一事实。
The Fed (美国联邦储备局) now, like the Fed in the 1930s, is very much groping in the dark. Every financial crisis is different, and this one is no exception. It is hard to avoid concluding that the Fed made a big mistake when deciding that Lehman Bros. could safely be allowed to fail. It did not adequately understand the possible consequences for other institutions of allowing a primary dealer to go bankrupt. It failed to understand that its own actions were bringing us to the brink of a destructive financial battle.
现在的 Fed(美国联邦储备局)和 1930 年代的 Fed 一样,在很大程度上是在黑暗中摸索。每一次金融危机都是不同的,这次也不例外。很难避免得出这样的结论:美联储在决定可以安全地允许雷曼兄弟倒闭时犯了一个大错误。它没有充分理解允许一级交易商破产对其他机构可能产生的后果。它没有明白,它自己的行为正在将我们带到一场毁灭性的金融斗争的边缘。
If there is a defense, it has been offered by Rick Mishkin, the former Fed governor, who has asserted that the current shock to the financial system is even more complex than that of the Great Depression. Absorbing the shock is more difficult this time because it is internal to the financial system. Central to the problem are excessive power, lack of transparency, and risk taking in the financial sector itself. There has been a housing-market collapse, but in contrast to the 1930s there has been no general collapse of prices and economic activity. Corporate defaults have remained relatively low, which has been a much-needed source of comfort to the financial system. But this also makes resolving the problem more difficult. Since there has been no collapse of prices and economic activity, we are not now going to be able to grow or inflate our way out of the crisis, as we did after 1933.
如果说有什么辩护的话,前美联储理事里克·米什金(Rick Mishkin)已经提出,他断言,目前对金融体系的冲击比大萧条的冲击还要复杂。这一次,吸收冲击更加困难,因为它是金融体系内部的。问题的核心是权力过大、缺乏透明度以及金融部门本身的冒险行为。住房市场出现了崩溃,但与 1930 年代相比,价格和经济活动并没有普遍崩溃。企业违约率一直相对较低,这一直是金融体系急需的安慰来源。但这也使解决问题变得更加困难。由于价格和经济活动没有崩溃,我们现在无法像 1933 年后那样通过增长或通货膨胀来摆脱危机。
This time the Fed will provide however much liquidity (流动资金) the economy needs. There will be no tax increases designed to balance the budget against the economic slump.
这一次,美联储将提供经济所需的流动性(流动资金)。不会有旨在平衡预算与经济衰退的增税。
And what the contraction (收缩) of the financial services industry takes, the expansion of exports can give back, what with the continuing growth of the BRICS (金砖五国), no analogy for which existed in the 1930s. The ongoing decline of the dollar will be the mechanism bringing about this reallocation of resources. But the US economy is not going to be able to move unemployed investment bankers onto industrial assembly lines overnight.
金融服务业的收缩(收缩)所带来的,出口的扩大可以回馈,随着金砖五国(BRICS)的持续增长,这在 1930 年代是不存在的。美元的持续下跌将是导致这种资源重新分配的机制。但美国经济不可能在一夜之间将失业的投资银行家转移到工业流水线上。

When I was young, I had a very narrow understanding of beauty. I used to A it with only physical things. It was about what the eye could see: soft hair, clear skin, M clothes, a good figure... I think some other people may also have gone through this phase of wanting the perfect shell defined solely in terms of I standards.
When I first entered the modeling industry, I was always L to conform to others’ criteria of beauty. I would think, “Well, if they say I’m beautiful, then I am. But if they don’t, then I’m not.” Even today, I can’t believe how K my thoughts were.
I want to correct this narrow idea that our beauty comes from the notions and approval of other people. When we allow others to determine what is beautiful, we fail to express and accept our individuality, our unique physical and personal O. I think we should ask ourselves the question “What is beautiful to me?” and construct our own C of beauty that are more comprehensive and more meaningful.
As time goes on, I have gradually expanded my definitions of beauty, without limiting them to what lies on the outside. I have started to realize that physical beauty won’t last forever because we humans are all H and will grow old inevitably. I have met many strong and courageous women, for example, a friend who N breast cancer and a cousin who works hard to provide for her child. I have also met many women who are devoted to their careers. Their confidence radiates from their D to their professional pursuits. These women are examples of beautiful actions and thoughts. They embrace being themselves.
年轻的时候,我对美的理解非常狭隘。我以前只 用物理的东西来 A 它。这是关于眼睛能看到的:柔软的头发、白皙的皮肤、 M 衣服、好身材......我认为其他一些人可能也经历过这个阶段,想要仅根据 I 标准定义完美的 shell。 当我刚进入模特行业时,我总是 L 以符合别人的美标准。我会想,“嗯,如果他们说我很漂亮,那我就是。但如果他们不这样做,那我就不是。即使在今天,我也不敢相信我的想法是怎样 的。 我想纠正这种狭隘的想法,即我们的美来自他人的观念和认可。当我们允许他人决定什么是美时,我们就无法表达和接受我们的个性、我们独特的身体和个人 O。我认为我们应该问自己这个问题“对我来说什么是美的”,并构建我们自己的 更全面、更有意义的美 C 。 随着时间的推移,我逐渐扩大了我对美的定义,而不是将它们局限于外表。我开始意识到,外表美不会永远持续下去,因为我们人类都是 H ,不可避免地会变老。我遇到过许多坚强而勇敢的女性,例如,一位患有乳腺癌的 朋友和一位努力工作供养孩子的表亲。我也遇到了许多致力于事业的女性。 他们的自信从他们的 D 辐射到他们的职业追求。这些女性是美丽行为和思想的典范。他们拥抱做自己。

The Art of Negotiation: Compromising with Credibility
谈判的艺术:与信誉妥协
[1] The art of negotiation is definitely a skill that is worth acquiring. More importantly, it is a skill any entrepreneur can acquire given the right understanding of their market, business, and most importantly, who they are dealing with. So ask yourself where you should spend time and energy negotiating, and how you can maximize the benefit in your discussions.
[1] 谈判的艺术绝对是一项值得学习的技能。更重要的是,只要正确了解他们的市场、业务,最重要的是,他们正在与谁打交道,这是任何企业家都可以获得的一项技能。因此,问问自己应该把时间和精力花在哪里进行谈判,以及如何在讨论中最大限度地获得好处。
[2] The first rule of stepping into the well-known negotiating ring is to ensure that you are talking with the decision makers. I can't stress this fact quite enough. It seems like an obvious enough rule of thumb(凭经验办事), but I can't tell you how often people fall at this first step. Your opening line should be, "Hello, am I speaking to the owner/manager?" Or something to this effect.
[2] 踏入众所周知的谈判圈的第一条规则是确保您正在与决策者交谈。我怎么强调这个事实都不为过。这似乎是一个足够明显的经验法则(凭经验办事),但我无法告诉你人们在第一步跌倒的频率有多高。你的开场白应该是,“你好,我和业主/经理说话了吗?或者类似的东西。
[3] Negotiation starts with passion. In fact, I do not believe that you can start a business if you are not passionate about it. When negotiating with anyone, you have to make them buy into you first before they are willing to buy into your idea. In other words, you are not just selling your brilliant idea, you are selling yourself. It is not always easy to make someone believe in you, but ask yourself what it would take for you to believe in someone and his idea.
[3] 谈判始于激情。事实上,我不相信如果你对它没有热情,你就不能创业。在与任何人谈判时,你必须先让他们接受你,然后他们才会愿意接受你的想法。换句话说,您不仅仅是在推销您的绝妙想法,还是在推销自己。让某人相信你并不总是那么容易,但问问自己,你相信某人和他的想法需要什么。
[4] Always ask for a discount, but remember with any new vendor (供应商) you must create a relationship of trust first. Sure, you are providing them with business, but they have other prospective offers. So be cautious in your negotiations. When first approaching a new vendor, don't go in asking for a huge discount because chances are that you will not get it. Asking for a small discount initially will help to build trust and make your offer more attractive, helping to create a relationship. As the size of your order increases, your discounts might increase. You will have built a robust relationship, and will be seen as a valuable client.
[4] 总是要求折扣,但请记住,对于任何新的供应商,您必须先建立信任关系。当然,您正在为他们提供业务,但他们还有其他潜在的报价。所以在谈判中要小心。第一次接触新供应商时,不要要求大幅折扣,因为您很可能不会得到它。最初要求小额折扣将有助于建立信任并使您的报价更具吸引力,从而有助于建立关系。随着订单大小的增加,您的折扣可能会增加。您将建立牢固的关系,并被视为有价值的客户。
[5] Discounts are not just about cutting your cost price for purchasing a product; they can come in other forms. Let's say at the first purchase you want to buy 10 units of a product, that will cost you £ 10 each, so you can sell them for £20 per unit. This order will cost £100, but you ask for a 10% discount off the wholesale price (批发价). Realistically, you are asking a vendor to give up £ 10, which they will most probably not agree to. However, why not ask for two extra units instead? The product will probably only cost your vendor £2, so you are asking them to give up only £4, yet you will be making two extra sales with a £20 profit. A £20 profit is much more appealing than a £ 10 profit, as is giving up £4 versus £ 10 to any vendor. So be smart, and realize discounts include much more than a percentage discount on a wholesale price.
[5] 折扣不仅仅是降低购买产品的成本价格;它们可以以其他形式出现。假设您在第一次购买时想购买 10 件产品,每件将花费您 10 英镑,因此您可以以每件 20 英镑的价格出售它们。此订单的费用为 100 英镑,但您要求比批发价 (批发价) 低 10% 的折扣。实际上,您要求供应商放弃 10 英镑,他们很可能不会同意。但是,为什么不要求额外的两个单元呢?该产品可能只会花费您的供应商 2 英镑,因此您要求他们只放弃 4 英镑,但您将以 20 英镑的利润进行两次额外的销售。20 英镑的利润比 10 英镑的利润更具吸引力,向任何供应商放弃 4 英镑而不是 10 英镑也是如此。因此,要聪明一点,并意识到折扣包括远不止批发价的百分比折扣。
[6] It is important to go in with a strong negotiating attitude, but remember the difference between a firm discussion and arrogance. An example of this is the "all or nothing" approach. I would not advise asking for an unrealistic discount just to try your luck. In the same respect, don't get hung up on fairness when discussing a business deal. 50% of something is always better than 100% of nothing. Don't waste your time because it is a hugely valuable asset (资产),too.
[6] 以强烈的谈判态度进入很重要,但请记住坚定的讨论和傲慢之间的区别。这方面的一个例子是 “all or nothing” 方法。我不建议仅仅为了碰碰运气而要求不切实际的折扣。同样,在讨论商业交易时,不要纠结于公平。50% 的成就总比 100% 的无要好。不要浪费你的时间,因为它也是一项非常有价值的资产。
[7] Ultimately, being smart with your negotiating is what this all comes down to. You do not need a hyper-aggressive business attitude to succeed, and maintaining respect is essential to this. A good reputation is not built upon a sense of fear. To gain respect in the marketplace, you have to be fair in your dealings with people. As the old saying goes, the best outcome of any deal for long-term gain is a win-win solution for both parties. In other words, focus on discovering what a win looks like for the other person, and you will have the best shot at success.
[7] 归根结底,聪明地进行谈判就是这一切的归根结底。您不需要高度激进的商业态度即可成功,保持尊重对此至关重要。良好的声誉不是建立在恐惧感之上的。要在市场上赢得尊重,您必须在与人打交道时保持公平。正如那句老话所说,任何长期利益交易的最佳结果是双方的双赢解决方案。换句话说,专注于发现对方的胜利是什么样子的,您将有最好的成功机会。
[8] With a new start-up, your first experience of negotiating will be the hardest. But then you will quickly learn the art. Like business, improving your skills is a constant learning curve. Even today, my learning new things about improving my business skills and engagement with my peers (同行) is part of this. In the words of John F. Kennedy, "Let us never negotiate out of fear. But let us never fear to negotiate. " This may not guarantee success, but it is certainly the first step.
[8] 对于一家新的初创公司,您的第一次谈判经历将是最艰难的。但随后您将很快学会这门艺术。与商业一样,提高技能是一个不断的学习曲线。即使在今天,我学习关于提高商业技能和与同行(同行)互动的新事物也是其中的一部分。用约翰·肯尼迪 (John F. Kennedy) 的话来说,“让我们永远不要因为恐惧而谈判。但是,让我们永远不要害怕谈判。“这也许不能保证成功,但肯定是第一步。

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.
标准化的教育或心理测试被广泛用于帮助选择、分类、分配或晋升学生、雇员和军事人员,最近已成为书籍、杂志、日报甚至国会攻击的目标。
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.
目标是错误的,因为在攻击测试时,批评者将注意力从不知情或不称职的用户的错误上转移开来。测试本身只是工具,具有可以在指定条件下以合理精度测量的特性。结果是否有价值、毫无意义,甚至具有误导性,部分取决于工具本身,但在很大程度上取决于用户。
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. 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.
所有对未来表现的明智预测都是基于对相关过去表现的一些了解:学校成绩、研究生产力、销售记录或任何适当的信息。预测在多大程度上被后来的表现所验证,取决于所用信息的数量、可靠性和适当性,以及解释这些信息的技巧和智慧。任何仔细评分的人都知道,可用的信息总是不完整的,而且预测总是会出错。
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 the same advantages and shortcomings as other kinds of information. Whether to use tests, other kinds of information, or both in a particular situation depends, therefore, upon the evidence from experience concerning comparative validity (有效性) and upon such factors as cost and availability.
在这种情况下,应考虑标准化测试。它们提供了一种快速、客观的方法来获取有关一个人学到了什么、他培养的技能或他是一个什么样的人的某些信息。这样获得的信息与其他类型的信息具有相同的优点和缺点。因此,在特定情况下是否使用测试、其他类型的信息或两者兼而有之,取决于有关比较有效性 (有效性) 的经验证据以及成本和可用性等因素。
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 can not 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. For example, they do not compensate for gross (严重的) social inequality, and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances.
一般来说,当要测量的质量可以最精确地定义时,测试的效果最有效,而当要测量或预测的品质不能很好地定义时,测试的效果最差。如果使用得当,它们提供了一种快速获取许多人的可比信息的方法。有时,他们会发现那些以前没有被认识到的高潜力学生,但有很多事情他们没有做。例如,它们没有补偿严重(严重)的社会不平等,因此没有说明如果一个贫困的年轻人在更有利的环境中长大,他的能力会有多大。
46. Why are the standardized tests criticized by so many people according to the passage?
46. 为什么标准化考试根据这段话受到这么多人的批评?
A) Because the standardized tests are used so widely that people are deeply affected. | |
B) Because people’s attention is diverted by some critics from the real problem. √ | |
C) Because the standardized tests are merely tools with limited functions. | |

Before many people buy a car, a television or a washing machine, they shop around for the best deal. Yet, when some of these people find themselves in a position in which a second medical opinion is a good idea – when facing a difficult operation, for example, – they are unwilling to go further. Sometimes it doesn’t matter. But sometimes it can lead to the wrong treatment, even death. Health professionals say there are a variety of reasons why we fear that second opinion.
在许多人购买汽车、电视或洗衣机之前,他们会货比三家以获得最优惠的价格。然而,当这些人中的一些人发现自己处于第二医疗意见是一个好主意的境地时——例如,当面临困难的手术时——他们不愿意走得更远。有时这并不重要。但有时它会导致错误的治疗,甚至死亡。卫生专业人员表示,我们害怕第二意见的原因有很多。
A number of psychological roadblocks (障碍) get in the way of second medical opinions, but one of the most common ones is the fear of hurting the feelings of the doctor, and the possible result of that. People may think that in bringing up that they want to get a second opinion they are questioning the doctor’s ability, so in the interest of not hurting the feeling of him they don’t suggest it.
许多心理障碍(障碍)阻碍了第二医疗意见,但最常见的障碍之一是害怕伤害医生的感情,以及由此可能产生的结果。人们可能认为,在提出他们想要获得第二意见时,他们是在质疑医生的能力,所以为了不伤害他的感受,他们不建议这样做。
Another reason people keep away from getting a second opinion is fear of the second doctor giving them worse news than the first. But the most important is that it’s in your self-interest to get another opinion, and it may not be worse.
人们不寻求第二意见的另一个原因是害怕第二位医生会给他们带来比第一位更糟糕的消息。但最重要的是,获得另一种意见符合您的自身利益,而且情况可能不会更糟。
Besides, most people respect their doctors, and regard them as with godlike qualities. So they trust their doctors are right, and don’t ask for a second opinion. In fact, it doesn’t even occur to them that they should. But you should remember that the doctor is a human being just like you.
此外,大多数人尊重他们的医生,认为他们具有神一般的品质。因此,他们相信他们的医生是对的,不会寻求第二意见。事实上,他们甚至没有想过他们应该这样做。但你应该记住,医生和你一样也是人。
Finally, sickness may foster poor judgment. And sometimes, when people are sick, they become childlike. They put all types of good feelings onto the doctor and just let him take over. That might not be the best thing. Sometimes, obtaining that second opinion just seems like too much work or too much trouble.
最后,疾病可能会导致判断力差。有时,当人们生病时,他们会变得像孩子一样。他们把各种好感都放在医生身上,让他接手。这可能不是最好的事情。有时,获得第二意见似乎工作量太大或麻烦太多。
But remember, the purpose of a second opinion is to collect information so that you can make as informed a decision as possible on your medical care. Sometimes getting that second medical opinion can mean the difference between life and death.
但请记住,第二意见的目的是收集信息,以便您可以就您的医疗保健做出尽可能明智的决定。有时,获得第二医疗意见可能意味着生与死的区别。

Traditional vs Digital Media? Which Should I Use in My Business?
传统媒体还是数字媒体?我应该在我的业务中使用哪个?
[1] Media magnifies (放大) your marketing message, allowing you to tell people about your amazing products and services. Traditional media such as television, radio and print ads in newspapers and magazines have long been the primary outlet for advertising campaigns, but added to this now are digital channels like email and social media that have increased the opportunities for companies, big and small, to connect and spread the word. With so many choices, what is the best mix for your next campaign? The best type of media for your marketing goals will depend on your ideal target audience, your budget and the products or services you are promoting. Let's look at the options.
Television
[2] This can be an expensive option in prime time spots but your ad can still reach broad audiences, particularly if your campaign also includes placement within the network's on-demand site. With a smaller marketing budget it's worth looking for advertising opportunities on specialized channels such as those focused on sport, outdoor activities or cooking. These channels have smaller viewer numbers but allow marketers opportunities to target a niche audience. Sponsoring popular TV shows can be a highly effective option in combination with an ad campaign. Researchers at Thinkbox found that when the brand personality and show had a good fit it made the brand appear as more successful. TV advertising also requires a production budget in addition to purchasing the actual media time. These can include:
[1] 媒体放大(放大)您的营销信息,让您能够向人们介绍您出色的产品和服务。长期以来,电视、广播和报纸和杂志上的平面广告等传统媒体一直是广告活动的主要渠道,但现在电子邮件和社交媒体等数字渠道增加了大大小小的公司联系和传播信息的机会。有这么多选择,您下一个活动的最佳组合是什么?实现您的营销目标的最佳媒体类型将取决于您的理想目标受众、您的预算以及您推广的产品或服务。让我们看看选项。 电视 [2]在黄金时段,这可能是一个昂贵的选择,但您的广告仍然可以覆盖广泛的受众,特别是如果您的广告活动还包括在网络点播网站内的投放。由于营销预算较少,值得在专业渠道上寻找广告机会,例如专注于体育、户外活动或烹饪的渠道。这些频道的观众人数较少,但让营销人员有机会定位小众受众。赞助热门电视节目与广告活动相结合可能是一个非常有效的选择。Thinkbox 的研究人员发现,当品牌个性和节目契合时,它会使品牌看起来更加成功。电视广告除了购买实际的媒体时间外,还需要制作预算。这些可能包括:
creative fees;
创意费;
film company costs;
电影公司成本;
talent fees for actors.
演员的人才费。
Radio
收音机
[3] Radio is portable. You can reach people while they drive, work or walk the dog. Keep your message short and sweet so that your "on-the-go" audience knows what the offer is and how to get in touch. Production costs may be relatively inexpensive. In fact most radio stations will create the ad for you. As with all advertising, a strong and creative ad will always give you the competitive edge. It has to be good at getting your message across and building your brand preference. Your campaign proposal is likely to be a bundle of stations with some spots in prime time and others in lower listening times. Negotiate your campaign package for maximum frequency in prime time.
[3] 收音机是便携式的。您可以在人们开车、工作或遛狗时与他们联系。保持您的信息简短而贴心,以便您的“移动”受众知道优惠是什么以及如何取得联系。生产成本可能相对便宜。事实上,大多数广播电台都会为您制作广告。与所有广告一样,一个强大而有创意的广告将始终为您带来竞争优势。它必须善于传达您的信息并建立您的品牌偏好。您的竞选提案可能是一组电台,其中一些时段位于黄金时段,而另一些时段位于收听时间较短的位置。协商您的活动包,以便在黄金时段获得最大频率。
Digital media
数字媒体
[4] A small budget is no longer an insurmountable (不可逾越的) barrier when it comes to marketing. Digital marketing has given small businesses more tools to reach their audience with a much smaller budget. Social media or email marketing campaigns can be created for little or no cost if you put in some time. Adding a bit of budget can boost your message to specific target groups.
[4] 在营销方面,小预算不再是不可逾越(不可逾越的)障碍。数字营销为小企业提供了更多工具,以更少的预算接触他们的受众。如果您投入一些时间,可以以很少或免费的成本创建社交媒体或电子邮件营销活动。增加一点预算可以提升您向特定目标群体的信息。
Video hosting sites
视频托管网站
[5] Television is not the only method for disseminating filmed advertisements. Now your video can be shared on YouTube and other video hosting sites. Even if you create an ad for TV, it is important to post here too. If your video is engaging, you get the power of online sharing. Platforms like YouTube are all about user-generated content. There are no middle men to pay. You own your channel and pay direct for any promotion of your campaign. If you are using content created by someone else, make sure you have the usage rights or it has a creative commons license. Video is powerful whether on TV or online. In video you can "show" rather than "tell" and capture imaginations.
[5]电视并不是传播拍摄广告的唯一方法。现在,您的视频可以在 YouTube 和其他视频托管网站上共享。即使您为电视制作广告,在此处发布也很重要。如果您的视频引人入胜,您将获得在线共享的强大功能。像 YouTube 这样的平台都是关于用户生成的内容的。没有中间人需要支付。您拥有自己的频道并直接为您的活动的任何促销付费。如果您使用的是其他人创建的内容,请确保您拥有使用权或它具有 Creative Commons 许可证。无论是在电视上还是在网络上,视频都非常强大。在视频中,您可以 “展示” 而不是 “讲述” 并捕捉想象力。
Website and search engine optimization (SEO)
网站和搜索引擎优化 (SEO)
[6] Every business needs a website but this shouldn't be a static brochure for your business. SEO strategies are used to help improve your website's ranking on search engine results pages in a sustainable way in order to attract more visitors to your site over time. SEO can involve a variety of techniques including the use of key words, links and metadata to make your website attractive to visitors, easy to navigate and rich in useful content. A website that offers visitors valuable information can be an effective marketing tool that more than repays the investment involved in creating it. Having got the best advice on SEO techniques, almost anyone in your organization can then apply them.
[6] 每个企业都需要一个网站,但这不应该是针对您企业的静态宣传册。SEO 策略用于帮助以可持续的方式提高您的网站在搜索引擎结果页面上的排名,以便随着时间的推移吸引更多访问者访问您的网站。SEO 可以涉及多种技术,包括使用关键字、链接和元数据,使您的网站对访问者具有吸引力、易于导航和有用的内容丰富。为访问者提供有价值信息的网站可以成为一种有效的营销工具,它不仅仅是回报创建它所涉及的投资。在获得了有关 SEO 技术的最佳建议后,您组织中的几乎任何人都可以应用它们。
[7] The type of media you choose to use for your marketing campaign depends upon your objectives and the audience you are trying to reach. Marketing is now frequently a cross-media and multi-platform enterprise. Digital marketing techniques can be enhanced when combined with old media and likewise traditional media campaigns like print, TV and radio should be shared and supported on your social media platforms. Your target market is unlikely to consume only one type of media so make sure you are using the best tools out there to broaden your reach, grow your business and achieve your goals.
[7] 您选择用于营销活动的媒体类型取决于您的目标和您试图接触的受众。营销现在经常是一个跨媒体和多平台的企业。当与旧媒体相结合时,可以增强数字营销技术,同样,应在您的社交媒体平台上分享和支持印刷品、电视和广播等传统媒体活动。您的目标市场不太可能只消费一种类型的媒体,因此请确保您使用最好的工具来扩大影响力、发展业务并实现目标。

In the closely-connected rural society before the turn of the 20th century, an unmarried adult was rare. The reason for any person’s single status had to be an unfortunate one. Those who chose not to marry were considered abnormal or career preoccupied. Those whose hands were never sought were lonely losers, unattractive or disabled.
在 20 世纪之交之前,在联系紧密的农村社会中,未婚成年人很少见。任何人单身的原因都一定是不幸的。那些选择不结婚的人被认为是不正常的或全神贯注于事业。那些从未被寻找过的人是孤独的失败者,没有吸引力或残疾。
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the conventional concept of the unmarried person as a lonely loser began to yield to a new concept – the swinging single. Apartments in urban centers advertised a lifestyle organized around the swimming pool and clubroom featuring nightly cocktail parties and the imagination that everyone paired off by bedtime. Magazines such as Playboy and Penthouse, Playgirl and Viva enhanced the image of this new single life. News magazines ran features that assumed that a rapidly growing proportion of the population would remain permanently single.
在 1960 年代末和 1970 年代初,未婚者是孤独的失败者的传统概念开始屈服于一个新概念——摇摆不定的单身人士。城市中心的公寓宣传一种围绕游泳池和俱乐部活动室组织的生活方式,每晚举办鸡尾酒会,并想象每个人都在睡前配对。《花花公子》和《阁楼》、《花花公子》和《万岁》等杂志增强了这种新单身生活的形象。新闻杂志刊登的专题假设快速增长的人口比例将永久保持单身。
The idea gained credibility (可信性) from two facts: First, the number of unmarried adults in the United States increased from 12.9 million in 1960 to 25.6 million two decades later. Second, the average age at the time of marriage, a figure that had declined steadily from 1900 to 1960, began to climb again: increasing numbers of young adults are delaying their first marriage to their late twenties or early thirties.
这个想法从两个事实中获得可信度(可信性):首先,美国未婚成年人的数量从 1960 年的 1290 万增加到二十年后的 2560 万。其次,结婚时的平均年龄,这个数字从 1900 年到 1960 年稳步下降,现在又开始攀升:越来越多的年轻人将他们的第一次婚姻推迟到 20 多岁或 30 岁出头。
Whether or not a new lifestyle of permanent singlehood is emerging, substantial numbers of people are living it, at least temporarily. But contrary to the media view, there is no one lifestyle for singles. Most singles have a surprisingly traditional lifestyle that focuses on finding a place to live, attempting to find a satisfying job, and seeking friends, dates, and ultimately a more permanent relationship. Only in fairly large cities do you find special facilities satisfying needs of singles. In fact in smaller communities there are still examples of prejudice against single adults by employers and landlords who regard the whole group as irresponsible and wild.
无论永久单身的新生活方式是否正在出现,都有相当多的人正在过着这种生活,至少是暂时的。但与媒体的看法相反,单身人士没有一种生活方式。大多数单身人士都有一种令人惊讶的传统生活方式,专注于寻找住处、试图找到一份令人满意的工作、寻找朋友、约会,并最终建立更持久的关系。只有在相当大的城市,您才能找到满足单身人士需求的特殊设施。事实上,在较小的社区中,仍然存在雇主和房东对单身成年人的偏见,他们认为整个群体都是不负责任和野蛮的。

People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.
人们经常问哪种语言最难学,而且不容易回答,因为需要考虑的因素很多。首先,在第一语言中,差异并不重要,因为人们自然而然地学习母语,因此学习一门语言有多难的问题仅在学习第二语言时才有意义。
A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, for example, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a second language. The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.
例如,以西班牙语为母语的人会发现葡萄牙语比以中文为母语的人更容易学习,例如,因为葡萄牙语与西班牙语非常相似,而中文则非常不同,因此第一语言会影响第二语言的学习。第二语言和我们的第一语言之间的差异越大,大多数人学习起来就越难。许多人回答说,中文是最难学的语言,可能是受到学习中文书写系统的想法的影响,而且中文的发音对很多外国学习者来说似乎确实很难。然而,对于已经在自己的语言中使用汉字的日语使用者来说,学习写作的难度会比使用罗马字母的语言的使用者要容易。
Some people seem to learn languages readily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner's motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.
有些人似乎很容易学习语言,而另一些人则觉得这非常困难。教师和学习语言的环境以及每个学习者的学习动机也起着重要作用。如果人们学习一门语言是因为他们需要专业地使用它,那么他们通常比学习一门在日常生活中没有直接使用的语言的人学习得更快。
Apparently, British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese, which will probably come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian. This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone, but it causes British diplomatic personnel, who are generally used to learning languages, the most difficulties.
显然,英国外交官和其他大使馆工作人员发现,第二难的语言是日语,这对许多人来说可能并不奇怪,但他们发现最有问题的语言是匈牙利语。这并不意味着匈牙利语是大家最难学的语言,但它给通常习惯于学习语言的英国外交人员带来了最大的困难。
Different cultures and individuals from those cultures will find different languages more difficult. In the case of Hungarian for British learners, it is not a question of the writing system, which uses a similar alphabet, but the grammatical complexity, though native speakers of related languages may find it easier, while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy.
不同的文化和来自这些文化的个人会发现不同的语言更加困难。就英国学习者的匈牙利语而言,这不是使用类似字母表的书写系统的问题,而是语法的复杂性,尽管以相关语言为母语的人可能会觉得更容易,同时为英国人认为相对容易的语言而苦苦挣扎。

56. 中国政府为大学生毕业后自主创业提供了大力支持。这项政府举措可以帮助创造更多的就业机会,缓解就业市场的激烈竞争。虽然自主创业省去了找工作的麻烦,但实际上需要投入更多的时间、资本和精力。政府鼓励大学毕业生创业,期待他们在自己的新兴企业中做出更多的创新。
答案:
The Chinese government has offered great support to college students for them to start their own businesses after graduation. This government move can help create more job opportunities and ease the intense competition in the job market. Although starting your own business saves yourself the trouble of looking for a job, it actually requires much more investment of time, capital and effort. The government encourages the entrepreneurship among college graduates and expects them to make more innovations in their start-ups.

Chinese Space Station Epitome of Aerospace Workers' Wisdom: Designer
中国空间站:航天工作者智慧的缩影:设计师
[1] The successful building of the space station, the final goal of China's "three-step" human space program initiated 30 years ago, demonstrated the wisdom, ability and creativity of Chinese aerospace workers, said the chief designer of the country's manned space program recently.
[1]中国载人航天计划总设计师最近表示,空间站的成功建造是中国 30 年前启动的“三步走”载人航天计划的最终目标,展示了中国航天工作者的智慧、能力和创造力。
[2] China's space station, Tiangong, with a three-module configuration consists of the core module Tianhe and two lab modules Wentian and Mengtian. With the successful launch of the Mengtian lab module into orbit and its successful rendezvous and docking and transposition with the Tianhe core module, the assembly of the space station's T-shape basic structure was completed in orbit.
[2]中国空间站“天宫”由三个模块组成,由核心模块“天和”和“以及两个实验室模块问天和梦天”组成。随着梦天实验室舱成功送入轨道,并与天和核心舱成功交会对接换位,空间站 T 型基本结构在轨组装完成。
[3] In 1992 when constructing a manned orbiting laboratory was still a flight of fancy for the Chinese people, China embarked on a "three-step" strategy to develop its human space program.
[3]1992 年,当建造载人轨道实验室对中国人来说还是一个幻想时,中国开始了“三步走”战略来发展其载人航天计划。
[4] The first step was to send astronauts into space and ensure their safe return. The second step was developing advanced space flight techniques and technologies including extravehicular activity and orbital docking. The third step was to assemble and operate a permanent manned space station.
[4]第一步是将宇航员送入太空并确保他们安全返回。第二步是开发先进的太空飞行技术和技术,包括舱外活动和轨道对接。第三步是组装和运营一个永久性的载人空间站。
[5] The construction of the space station is a milestone in China's space industry. To achieve this goal, China has been pushing space exploration boundaries on its own over the past three decades.
[5]空间站的建设是中国航天工业的一个里程碑。为了实现这一目标,中国在过去三十年里一直在推动太空探索的界限。
[6] As the chief designer of China's manned space program, Zhou Jianping has fully participated in and presided over the construction and development of the "three-step" strategic mission.
[6]作为中国载人航天工程的总设计师,周建平全面参与和主持了“三步走”战略任务的建设和发展。
[7] "Up to now, we have completed the construction of our space station, which should be a perfect milestone in the realization of China's three-step manned space mission. We can proudly say that the space station we have completed is capable of meeting the needs of space science research in various fields by adopting the most advanced technology of our time. It has also played a significant role in the development of China's space industry," said Zhou.
[7]“到目前为止,我们已经完成了我们的空间站的建设,这应该是实现中国载人航天三步走任务的一个完美的里程碑。我们可以自豪地说,我们完成的空间站采用我们这个时代最先进的技术,能够满足各个领域的空间科学研究需求。它也在中国航天工业的发展中发挥了重要作用,“周说。
[8] Compared with the International Space Station, China's space station started late with a limited foundation. Only with the experience of building the Tiangong-1 and Tiangong-2, the two eight-tonne space laboratories, has China entered the construction stage of the space station, opening its own path of space station construction.
[8]与国际空间站相比,中国的空间站起步较晚,基础有限。只有有了建造“天宫一号”和“天宫二号”这两个重达 8 吨的太空实验室的经验,中国才进入了空间站的建设阶段,开辟了自己的空间站建设之路。
[9] "Right from the beginning, we had a clear goal, that is, to complete the space station with the experimental core module as the official core module. We anticipated the technical difficulties and risks involved. This required us to perform each task more substantially on Earth, and each experiment more closely to the celestial environment, though it was impossible to replicate the same environment in space," said Zhou.
[9]“从一开始,我们就有一个明确的目标,那就是以实验性核心舱作为正式的核心舱来完成空间站。我们预见到了所涉及的技术困难和风险。这要求我们在地球上更实质性地执行每项任务,并且每项实验都更接近天体环境,尽管不可能在太空中复制相同的环境,“周说。
[10] "As we all know, space is a micro-gravity environment. When we stretch a 15-meter-long robotic arm on Earth, it bends down, let alone working. Our scientists and engineers have used their wisdom to solve all these problems. We completed the three modules for the space station in just over a year. This also demonstrates the ability, creativity, confidence and responsibility of the Chinese space workers," he said.
[10]“众所周知,太空是一个微重力环境。当我们在地球上伸展一个 15 米长的机械臂时,它会弯下腰,更不用说工作了。我们的科学家和工程师利用他们的智慧解决了所有这些问题。我们在短短一年多的时间内完成了空间站的三个模块。这也展示了中国航天工作者的能力、创造力、信心和责任感。
[11 ] At present, two phases of the mission objectives have been completed: key technology verification and in-orbit construction. During the period, China has achieved comprehensive breakthroughs in regenerative environmental control and life support technology, flexible solar cell wing driving mechanism, robotic arm auxiliary module rotation, large assembly control and other technologies.
[11 ] 目前,任务目标已完成两个阶段:关键技术验证和在轨建设。期间,我国在再生环境控制与生命保障技术、柔性太阳能电池翼驱动机构、机械臂辅助模块旋转、大型装配控制等技术上实现了全面突破。
[12] In the meantime, the whole project always puts human safety in the first place, and has constantly improved mission reliability through strict control over product quality, full testing to expose problems, and in-depth analysis of principles and mechanisms.
[12]同时,整个项目始终将人身安全放在首位,通过严格把控产品质量、全面检测暴露问题、深入分析原理机制等方式,不断提高任务可靠性。
[13] "I think one of the most important things is that I was determined to make the Chinese space station the most economical space station with advanced technology.

At first sight, the fate of threatened species might seem a world apart from the economy. Upon closer examination, however, we start to understand the connections between the two. The “good health” of natural systems is a precondition for the “good health” of our social and economic systems. Can one say that a society is thriving when it is exposed to air and water pollution and endures related health problems? Equally, can a society “function” if a large proportion of people are unemployed or cannot make ends meet?
乍一看,濒危物种的命运似乎与经济截然不同。然而,经过仔细研究,我们开始理解两者之间的联系。自然系统的“健康”是我们社会和经济系统“健康”的前提。当一个社会暴露在空气和水污染中并忍受相关的健康问题时,它能说是繁荣的吗?同样,如果很大一部分人失业或入不敷出,一个社会能否“运作”起来?
Despite gaps and uncertainties in our understanding, we can see that our world is changing. After 10,000 years of relative stability, the average global temperature is increasing. Although the European Union’s (EU’s) greenhouse gas emissions are declining, fossil fuels release more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than our land and oceans can absorb. Some regions are more vulnerable to the potential impacts of climate change – and these are often the countries least prepared to adapt to new climatic conditions.
尽管我们的理解存在差距和不确定性,但我们可以看到我们的世界正在发生变化。在经历了 10,000 年的相对稳定之后,全球平均气温正在上升。尽管欧盟 (EU) 的温室气体排放量正在下降,但化石燃料向大气中释放的温室气体超过了我们的陆地和海洋所能吸收的温室气体。一些地区更容易受到气候变化的潜在影响,而这些地区往往是适应新气候条件准备最不充分的国家。
With more than seven billion of us living on the planet, humans clearly have a role in steering and accelerating this change. In fact, our current consumption and production levels may be damaging the environment to the point that we risk making our home uninhabitable (不适宜居住的) to many species, including ourselves. Many people in developing countries aspire (渴求) to have lifestyles similar to those in developed countries, which could put additional pressure on our natural systems.
地球上有超过 70 亿人,人类显然在引导和加速这一变化方面发挥着作用。事实上,我们目前的消费和生产水平可能会破坏环境,以至于我们有可能使我们的家对许多物种(包括我们自己)来说都无法居住(不适宜居住的)。许多发展中国家的人渴望(渴求)拥有与发达国家相似的生活方式,这可能会给我们的自然系统带来额外的压力。
We are losing global biodiversity at a rate never before seen in history. Extinction rates may be up to 1,000 times higher than the historical background rate. The destruction of habitats is one of the main reasons.
我们正在以历史上前所未有的速度丧失全球生物多样性。灭绝率可能比历史背景率高 1,000 倍。栖息地的破坏是主要原因之一。
Although the total forest area has been increasing in Europe in recent decades, globally it is a different story. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that every year about 13 million hectares (公顷) of the world’s forests are cut down and converted to other land uses, such as cattle grazing, mining, farming or urban development. Forests are not the only ecosystems under threat. Many other natural habitats are at risk because of human activities.
尽管近几十年来欧洲的森林总面积一直在增加,但在全球范围内,情况却有所不同。联合国粮食及农业组织估计,每年全球约有 1300 万公顷的森林被砍伐并转化为其他土地用途,例如放牧、采矿、农业或城市发展。森林并不是唯一受到威胁的生态系统。由于人类活动,许多其他自然栖息地处于危险之中。

Of all the components of a good night’s sleep, dreams seem to be least within our control. In dreams, a window opens into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. A century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires and fears. By the late 1970s, neurologists had switched to thinking of them as just “mental noise” — the random byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep. Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind’s emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is “off-line”. And one leading authority says that these intensely powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better. “It’s your dream,” says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago’s Medical Center. “If you don’t like it, change it. ”
在一夜好眠的所有组成部分中,梦似乎最不受我们的控制。在梦中,一扇窗户打开,通向一个逻辑被暂停、死人说话的世界。一个世纪前,弗洛伊德提出了他的革命性理论,认为梦是我们无意识的欲望和恐惧的伪装阴影。到 1970 年代后期,神经学家已经转而将它们仅仅视为“精神噪音”——睡眠期间进行的神经修复工作的随机副产品。现在研究人员怀疑,梦是大脑情绪恒温器的一部分,在大脑“离线”时调节情绪。一位权威人士说,这些强大的心理事件不仅可以被利用,而且实际上可以被有意识地控制,以帮助我们睡眠和感觉更好。“这是你的梦想,”芝加哥医学中心心理学主席罗莎琳德·卡特赖特 (Rosalind Cartwright) 说。“如果你不喜欢它,就改变它。”
Evidence from brain imaging supports this view. The brain is as active during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep — when most vivid dreams occur — as it is when fully awake, says Dr. Eric Nofzinger at the University of Pittsburgh. But not all parts of the brain are equally involved, the limbic system (the “emotional brain”) is especially active, while the prefrontal cortex (the center of intellect and reasoning) is relatively quiet. “We wake up from dreams happy or depressed, and those feelings can stay with us all day,” says Stanford sleep researcher Dr. William Dement.
脑成像的证据支持这一观点。匹兹堡大学的 Eric Nofzinger 博士说,大脑在 REM(快速眼动)睡眠期间(大多数生动的梦发生时)与完全清醒时一样活跃。但并非大脑的所有部分都同等参与,边缘系统(“情绪大脑”)特别活跃,而前额叶皮层(智力和推理的中心)相对安静。“我们从梦中醒来时是快乐的还是沮丧的,这些感觉可以伴随我们一整天,”斯坦福大学睡眠研究员 William Dement 博士说。
The link between dreams and emotions show up among patients in Cartwright’s clinic. Most people seem to have more bad dreams early in the night, progressing toward happier ones before awakening, suggesting that they are working through negative feelings generated during the day. Because our conscious mind is occupied with daily life, we don’t always think about the emotional significance of the day’s events — until, it appears, we begin to dream.
梦和情感之间的联系在 Cartwright 诊所的患者中显现出来。大多数人似乎在深夜早些时候做了更多的噩梦,在醒来之前会逐渐变得快乐,这表明他们正在处理白天产生的负面情绪。因为我们的意识被日常生活所占据,所以我们并不总是考虑当天事件的情感意义——直到我们开始做梦。
And this process need not be left to the unconscious. Cartwright believes one can exercise conscious control over recurring bad dreams. As soon as you awaken, identify what is upsetting about the dream. Visualize how you would like it to end instead. The next time it occurs, try to wake up just enough to control its course. With much practice people can learn to, literally, do it in their sleep.
而这个过程不需要留给无意识。卡特赖特相信,一个人可以有意识地控制反复出现的噩梦。一旦你醒来,就确定这个梦的不安之处。想象一下您希望它如何结束。下次发生时,试着醒来时,刚好能控制它的进程。通过大量的练习,人们可以学会在睡梦中做这件事。
At the end of the day, there’s probably little reason to pay attention to our dreams at all unless they keep us from sleeping or “we wake up in a panic”, Cartwright says. Terrorism, economic uncertainties and general feelings of insecurity have increased people’s anxiety. Those suffering from persistent nightmares should seek help from a therapist. For the rest of us, the brain has its ways of working through bad feelings. Sleep — or rather dream — on it and you’ll feel better in the morning.
卡特赖特说,归根结底,可能根本没有理由关注我们的梦,除非它们让我们无法入睡或“我们在恐慌中醒来”。恐怖主义、经济不确定性和普遍的不安全感加剧了人们的焦虑。那些持续做噩梦的人应该寻求治疗师的帮助。对于我们其他人来说,大脑有它处理不良情绪的方法。在上面睡觉——或者更确切地说是做梦——你早上会感觉好些。

Traditional vs Digital Media? Which Should I Use in My Business?
传统媒体还是数字媒体?我应该在我的业务中使用哪个?
[1] Media magnifies (放大) your marketing message, allowing you to tell people about your amazing products and services. Traditional media such as television, radio and print ads in newspapers and magazines have long been the primary outlet for advertising campaigns, but added to this now are digital channels like email and social media that have increased the opportunities for companies, big and small, to connect and spread the word. With so many choices, what is the best mix for your next campaign? The best type of media for your marketing goals will depend on your ideal target audience, your budget and the products or services you are promoting. Let's look at the options.
Television
[2] This can be an expensive option in prime time spots but your ad can still reach broad audiences, particularly if your campaign also includes placement within the network's on-demand site. With a smaller marketing budget it's worth looking for advertising opportunities on specialized channels such as those focused on sport, outdoor activities or cooking. These channels have smaller viewer numbers but allow marketers opportunities to target a niche audience. Sponsoring popular TV shows can be a highly effective option in combination with an ad campaign. Researchers at Thinkbox found that when the brand personality and show had a good fit it made the brand appear as more successful. TV advertising also requires a production budget in addition to purchasing the actual media time. These can include:
[1] 媒体放大(放大)您的营销信息,让您能够向人们介绍您出色的产品和服务。长期以来,电视、广播和报纸和杂志上的平面广告等传统媒体一直是广告活动的主要渠道,但现在电子邮件和社交媒体等数字渠道增加了大大小小的公司联系和传播信息的机会。有这么多选择,您下一个活动的最佳组合是什么?实现您的营销目标的最佳媒体类型将取决于您的理想目标受众、您的预算以及您推广的产品或服务。让我们看看选项。 电视 [2]在黄金时段,这可能是一个昂贵的选择,但您的广告仍然可以覆盖广泛的受众,特别是如果您的广告活动还包括在网络点播网站内的投放。由于营销预算较少,值得在专业渠道上寻找广告机会,例如专注于体育、户外活动或烹饪的渠道。这些频道的观众人数较少,但让营销人员有机会定位小众受众。赞助热门电视节目与广告活动相结合可能是一个非常有效的选择。Thinkbox 的研究人员发现,当品牌个性和节目契合时,它会使品牌看起来更加成功。电视广告除了购买实际的媒体时间外,还需要制作预算。这些可能包括:
creative fees;
创意费;
film company costs;
电影公司成本;
talent fees for actors.
演员的人才费。
Radio
收音机
[3] Radio is portable. You can reach people while they drive, work or walk the dog. Keep your message short and sweet so that your "on-the-go" audience knows what the offer is and how to get in touch. Production costs may be relatively inexpensive. In fact most radio stations will create the ad for you. As with all advertising, a strong and creative ad will always give you the competitive edge. It has to be good at getting your message across and building your brand preference. Your campaign proposal is likely to be a bundle of stations with some spots in prime time and others in lower listening times. Negotiate your campaign package for maximum frequency in prime time.
[3] 收音机是便携式的。您可以在人们开车、工作或遛狗时与他们联系。保持您的信息简短而贴心,以便您的“移动”受众知道优惠是什么以及如何取得联系。生产成本可能相对便宜。事实上,大多数广播电台都会为您制作广告。与所有广告一样,一个强大而有创意的广告将始终为您带来竞争优势。它必须善于传达您的信息并建立您的品牌偏好。您的竞选提案可能是一组电台,其中一些时段位于黄金时段,而另一些时段位于收听时间较短的位置。协商您的活动包,以便在黄金时段获得最大频率。
Digital media
数字媒体
[4] A small budget is no longer an insurmountable (不可逾越的) barrier when it comes to marketing. Digital marketing has given small businesses more tools to reach their audience with a much smaller budget. Social media or email marketing campaigns can be created for little or no cost if you put in some time. Adding a bit of budget can boost your message to specific target groups.
[4] 在营销方面,小预算不再是不可逾越(不可逾越的)障碍。数字营销为小企业提供了更多工具,以更少的预算接触他们的受众。如果您投入一些时间,可以以很少或免费的成本创建社交媒体或电子邮件营销活动。增加一点预算可以提升您向特定目标群体的信息。
Video hosting sites
视频托管网站
[5] Television is not the only method for disseminating filmed advertisements. Now your video can be shared on YouTube and other video hosting sites. Even if you create an ad for TV, it is important to post here too. If your video is engaging, you get the power of online sharing. Platforms like YouTube are all about user-generated content. There are no middle men to pay. You own your channel and pay direct for any promotion of your campaign. If you are using content created by someone else, make sure you have the usage rights or it has a creative commons license. Video is powerful whether on TV or online. In video you can "show" rather than "tell" and capture imaginations.
[5]电视并不是传播拍摄广告的唯一方法。现在,您的视频可以在 YouTube 和其他视频托管网站上共享。即使您为电视制作广告,在此处发布也很重要。如果您的视频引人入胜,您将获得在线共享的强大功能。像 YouTube 这样的平台都是关于用户生成的内容的。没有中间人需要支付。您拥有自己的频道并直接为您的活动的任何促销付费。如果您使用的是其他人创建的内容,请确保您拥有使用权或它具有 Creative Commons 许可证。无论是在电视上还是在网络上,视频都非常强大。在视频中,您可以 “展示” 而不是 “讲述” 并捕捉想象力。
Website and search engine optimization (SEO)
网站和搜索引擎优化 (SEO)
[6] Every business needs a website but this shouldn't be a static brochure for your business. SEO strategies are used to help improve your website's ranking on search engine results pages in a sustainable way in order to attract more visitors to your site over time. SEO can involve a variety of techniques including the use of key words, links and metadata to make your website attractive to visitors, easy to navigate and rich in useful content. A website that offers visitors valuable information can be an effective marketing tool that more than repays the investment involved in creating it. Having got the best advice on SEO techniques, almost anyone in your organization can then apply them.
[6] 每个企业都需要一个网站,但这不应该是针对您企业的静态宣传册。SEO 策略用于帮助以可持续的方式提高您的网站在搜索引擎结果页面上的排名,以便随着时间的推移吸引更多访问者访问您的网站。SEO 可以涉及多种技术,包括使用关键字、链接和元数据,使您的网站对访问者具有吸引力、易于导航和有用的内容丰富。为访问者提供有价值信息的网站可以成为一种有效的营销工具,它不仅仅是回报创建它所涉及的投资。在获得了有关 SEO 技术的最佳建议后,您组织中的几乎任何人都可以应用它们。
[7] The type of media you choose to use for your marketing campaign depends upon your objectives and the audience you are trying to reach. Marketing is now frequently a cross-media and multi-platform enterprise. Digital marketing techniques can be enhanced when combined with old media and likewise traditional media campaigns like print, TV and radio should be shared and supported on your social media platforms. Your target market is unlikely to consume only one type of media so make sure you are using the best tools out there to broaden your reach, grow your business and achieve your goals.
[7] 您选择用于营销活动的媒体类型取决于您的目标和您试图接触的受众。营销现在经常是一个跨媒体和多平台的企业。当与旧媒体相结合时,可以增强数字营销技术,同样,应在您的社交媒体平台上分享和支持印刷品、电视和广播等传统媒体活动。您的目标市场不太可能只消费一种类型的媒体,因此请确保您使用最好的工具来扩大影响力、发展业务并实现目标。

At one time a traveler could learn about a region by looking at the houses. For example, he could understand what building materials were available. In areas with many wood houses, the traveler would have guessed that there were forests nearby. Stone houses would have indicated that stones were easy to get. And a closer look at the houses would have told the traveler even more about the area.
曾经,旅行者可以通过查看房屋来了解一个地区。例如,他可以了解有哪些建筑材料可用。在木屋众多的地区,旅行者会猜到附近有森林。石头房子会表明石头很容易获得。仔细观察这些房屋会让旅行者更多地了解该地区。
People used to build houses that fitted the climate of their areas. For example, in desert regions there is a big difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures. Therefore, many desert people built houses with very thick walls. These thick walls served a useful purpose in the houses. In the winter the thick walls absorbed the sun’s warmth during the day and radiated the heat at night. Desert people were relatively comfortable in their homes at all times because they built them to fit the desert climate.
人们过去常常建造适合他们所在地区气候的房屋。例如,在沙漠地区,白天和夜间的温度差异很大。因此,许多沙漠人建造了墙壁非常厚的房屋。这些厚厚的墙壁在房屋中起到了有用的作用。在冬天,厚厚的墙壁白天吸收了太阳的温暖, 晚上则 散发着热量。沙漠人在任何时候都相对舒适地呆在自己的家里,因为他们建造房屋是为了适应沙漠气候。
Later, the supply of fuel for electricity became both cheap and easy to get. The effect on housing was immediate. People began to build their homes according to fashion instead of utility. During that time, building materials were moved across continents, and people did not worry about how much fuel they used to heat and cool their homes. Houses no longer reflected the availability of building materials or climate.
后来,电力燃料供应变得既便宜又容易获得。对住房的影响是立竿见影的。人们开始根据时尚而不是实用性来建造他们的房屋。在那段时间里,建筑材料被运送到各大洲,人们并不担心他们用了多少燃料来加热和冷却他们的房子。房屋不再反映建筑材料的可用性或气候。
Houses with steep roofs could be found in the warm regions of the earth, even though these pointed roofs originated (起源于) in snowy regions of the world. Heavy snow falls off a steep roof. Another example is the use of glass. Houses made almost completely of glass could be found in very cold places. Yet ordinary glass does not insulate (绝缘) well because it neither keeps out cold air nor keeps in warm air. As long as fuel was cheap and easy to get, people could build any type of house any place.
在地球的温暖地区可以找到陡峭屋顶的房屋,尽管这些尖屋顶起源于(起源于)世界上的白雪皑皑的地区。大雪从陡峭的屋顶上落下。另一个例子是玻璃的使用。在非常寒冷的地方可以找到几乎完全由玻璃建造的房屋。然而,普通玻璃不能很好地绝缘(绝缘),因为它既不能阻挡冷空气,也不能保持暖空气。只要燃料便宜且易于获得,人们就可以在任何地方建造任何类型的房屋。

No very satisfactory account of the mechanism that caused the formation of the ocean basins has yet been given. The traditional view supposes that the upper layer of the earth behaves as a liquid when it is subjected to small focus for long periods and that differences in temperature under oceans and continents are sufficient to produce movements in the upper layer of the earth with rising currents under the mid-ocean ridges and sinking currents under the continents. Theoretically, these movements would carry the continental plates along as though they were on a conveyor belt and would provide the forces needed to produce the split that occurred along the ridge. This view may be correct; it has the advantage that the currents are driven by temperature differences that themselves depend on the position of the continents.
关于导致海洋盆地形成的机制,还没有给出非常令人满意的解释。传统观点认为,地球的上层在长时间受到小聚焦时表现为液体,并且海洋和大陆下的温差足以在地球的上层产生运动,洋中脊下有上升的洋流,大陆下有下沉的洋流。从理论上讲,这些运动将像在传送带上 一样携带大陆板块前进 ,并提供产生沿山脊发生的分裂所需的力。 这种观点可能是正确的;它的优点是洋流是由温差驱动的,而温差本身取决于大陆的位置。
On the other hand, the theory is unconvincing because the movements do not normally occur along lines, and they certainly do not occur along lines broken by frequent changes in direction, as the ridge is. Also, it is difficult to see how the theory applies to the plate between the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the ridge in the Indian Ocean. This plate is growing on both sides, and since there is no intermediate trench, the two ridges must be moving apart. An alternative theory is that the sinking part of the plate, which is denser than the hotter surroundings, pulls the rest of plate after it. Again it is difficult to see how this applies to the ridge in the South Atlantic, where neither the African nor the American plate has a sinking part.
另一方面,该理论没有说服力,因为运动通常不会沿着线发生,而且它们肯定不会像山脊那样沿着因方向频繁变化而中断的线发生。此外,很难看出该理论如何应用于大西洋中脊和印度洋脊之间的板块。这个板块在两侧生长,由于没有中间沟,两个脊必须分开。另一种理论是,板的下沉部分比更热的环境更致密,将板的其余部分拉到它后面。同样,很难看出这如何适用于南大西洋的脊,那里的非洲板块和美洲板块都没有下沉的部分。
Another possibility is that the sinking plate cools the neighboring mantle and produces motion currents that move the plates. This last theory is attractive because it gives some hope of explaining the enclosed seas. These seas have a typical oceanic floor, except that the floor is overlaid by several kilometers of sediment. Their floors have probably been sinking for long periods. It seems possible that a sinking current of cooled material on the upper side of the plate might be the cause of such deep basins. The enclosed seas are an important feature of the earth's surface and seriously require explanation.
另一种可能性是下沉板冷却相邻的地幔并产生移动板的运动电流。最后一种理论很有吸引力,因为它为解释封闭的海洋提供了一些希望。这些海域具有典型的海底,只是海底覆盖着数公里的沉积物。他们的地板可能已经下沉了很长时间。板上侧冷却材料的沉流似乎可能是造成如此深盆的原因。封闭的海洋是地球表面的一个重要特征,需要认真解释。

China's Technology Hub Has an All-Electric Bus Fleet
中国的技术中心拥有一支全电动公交车队
240 of the buses here, at Shanghai Bashi's second-division depot, are fully electric, and it seems likely that, next year, no B engine will enter the premises at all. In an effort to curb pollution and noise, China's most E city expects the substitution of all traditional vehicles in its public transport system to be completed two years ahead of schedule.
在上海八士的二分部停车场,有 240 辆公交车是全电动的,明年很可能根本不会有 B 发动机进入该厂区。为了遏制污染和噪音,中国最 E 的城市预计其公共交通系统将提前两年完成所有传统车辆的替代。

Forget IQ and EQ — Success Is About AQ
忘记智商和情商 — 成功与 AQ 有关
[1] Do you have a high adversity quotient?
[1] 你的逆境商数高吗?
[2] Are development quotients a generational thing? You know—IQ, EQ, and now we have AQ. For a long time, people believed that there was only one measurement of intelligence, and that was the intelligence quotient or IQ. Then, millennials (千禧一代) came and were raised believing that more than their intelligence, it was how they handled their emotions that was more important, hence, we have the emotional quotient or EQ. If you do a search in Google, you will find a lot of literature that says EQ is more important than IQ. But there is also another quotient that seriously needs a spotlight these days, and that is adversity quotient or AQ.
[2] 发展商数是代际事物吗?你知道 - IQ、EQ,现在我们有 AQ。长期以来,人们认为智力的衡量标准只有一个,那就是智商或 IQ。然后,千禧一代 (千禧一代) 来了,他们从小就相信,比他们的智力更重要的是他们如何处理自己的情绪,因此,我们有情商或 EQ。如果你在 Google 中进行搜索,你会发现很多文献都说情商比智商更重要。但如今还有另一个商数非常需要关注,那就是逆境商数或 AQ。
[3] What is adversity quotient or AQ? If emotional quotient is one's ability to handle emotions well, then adversity quotient is the ability to handle adversities well. If AQ sounds like resilience, that's because it is. It is one of the most sought-after (梦寐以求的) characteristics of a person in many industries. It is known by many other names: grit, backbone, fortitude, persistence, tenacity (坚持,顽强) and self-sufficiency. Unlike IQ and EQ, employers associate AQ with stability, strength and power.
[3] 什么是逆境商或 AQ?如果情商是一个人处理好情绪的能力,那么逆境商数就是处理好逆境的能力。如果 AQ 听起来像弹性,那是因为它确实如此。这是许多行业中一个人最炍手可热的特征之一。它有许多其他名称:grit、backbone、fortitude、persistence、tenacity (坚持,顽强) 和 self-sufficiency。与 IQ 和 EQ 不同,雇主将 AQ 与稳定性、力量和力量联系起来。
[4] What are the qualities of a person with high adversity quotient? A person with high adversity quotient is someone who can stick out in a job in spite of its dire circumstances. For people working in human relations, they might gain an idea of a person's AQ when they ask questions like how long you've stayed in your previous job, what made you leave, and what problems you encountered during your former work environment and how you handled them.
[4] 逆境商数高的人有什么品质?逆境商数高的人是能够在恶劣环境中坚持工作的人。对于从事人际关系工作的人来说,当他们问一些问题时,比如你在以前的工作中呆了多长时间,是什么让你离开,你在以前的工作环境中遇到了什么问题,以及你是如何处理这些问题,他们可能会了解一个人的 AQ。
[5] People with high AQs are also the ones who can adapt to drastic changes in an organization, such as changes in management, sudden cost-cutting measures, and being assigned heavier workloads. It does not mean that they sacrifice personal well-being for the sake of grit—they make sure to deliver results first before negotiating terms later. It is like saying, "Yes, what you want is possible, in fact, these are the great results and improvements we made because of it. However, these changes are also taking a toll on the team because ... "
[5] AQ 高的人也是能够适应组织中剧烈变化的人,例如管理层变化、突然的成本削减措施以及被分配更重的工作量。这并不意味着他们为了勇气而牺牲个人福祉——他们确保先取得成果,然后再谈判条款。这就像说,“是的,你想要的都是可能的,事实上,这些是我们因此而取得的巨大成果和改进。然而,这些变化也对团队造成了影响,因为......"
[6] In the face of adversity, high-AQ people will regard it with some level of perceived control, which means they think they have some level of influence over the adversity. Of course, not all adversities can be controlled but, according to Albert Bandura (1997), people who believe they can achieve certain outcomes despite dire circumstances have the incentive to act.
[6]面对逆境,高 AQ 的人会以某种程度的感知控制来看待它,这意味着他们认为他们对逆境有一定程度的影响力。当然,并非所有逆境都可以控制,但根据 Albert Bandura (1997) 的说法,相信自己可以在严峻情况下取得某些结果的人有动力采取行动。
[7] Another trait of people with high AQs is having high endurance, which is closely linked with a perception of an adversity's temporariness. According to Peterson and Steligman (1993), people who perceive adversity as something temporary are more likely to endure it because they hope that such adversity will pass. IQ predicts nothing about your success, but AQ does. "It turns out that IQ predicts almost nothing about health, happiness, wealth - many of the key factors of success. This thing called AQ does," says Dr. Paul G. Stoltz in a talk. "It's your hardwired (固有的;密切相关的)pattern of response to life."
[7] AQ 高的人的另一个特征是具有高耐力,这与对逆境暂时性的看法密切相关。根据 Peterson 和 Steligman (1993) 的说法,将逆境视为暂时性事物的人更有可能忍受它,因为他们希望这种逆境会过去。智商不能预测你的成功,但 AQ 可以。“事实证明,智商几乎无法预测健康、幸福、财富——许多成功的关键因素。这种叫做 AQ 的东西确实如此,“Paul G. Stoltz 博士在一次演讲中说。“这是你的硬性(固有的;密切相关的)对生命的反应模式。
[8] Children with high adversity quotient are not so different from adults. According to Stoltz, a person's health, happiness and wealth are factors affected by adversity quotient. As such, a high AQ is a reliable predictor of whether a person will succeed in life or not. The good news is that adversity quotient is age-irrelevant (与年龄无关的),says Stoltz. This is supported by research by Emmy Werner ( 1993), who concluded that children with high adversity quotient are those with the following traits, which are not so different from the traits of resilient adults:
[8] 逆境商数高的孩子与成人没有太大区别。根据 Stoltz 的说法,一个人的健康、幸福和财富是受逆境商数影响的因素。因此,高 AQ 是一个人是否会在生活中取得成功的可靠预测指标。好消息是逆境商数与年龄无关(与年龄无关的),Stoltz 说。这得到了 Emmy Werner (1993) 的研究的支持,他得出的结论是,逆境商数高的儿童是那些具有以下特征的儿童,这些特征与有弹性的成年人的特征没有太大区别:
have an active approach toward solving life's problems;
积极解决生活中的问题;
tend to perceive their experiences constructively;
倾向于建设性地感知他们的经历;
be able to gain others' positive attention;
能够获得他人的积极关注;
use faith to maintain a positive outlook.
用信心来保持积极的前景。
[9] Leaders have high adversity quotient, but also have good IQ and EQ. While adversity quotient plays a major role in predicting success and staying power in organizations, good leaders also tend to have high EQ and high IQ. A good IQ standing allows a person to learn facts and processes quickly, whereas a good EQ allows a person to stay level-headed (头脑清醒的) in tense or high-stress situations. However, AQ will demonstrate its usefulness in times of great challenges to the organization. The higher a leader's AQ is, the better the chances are of his or her success in a tough situation. Leaders who get back up quickly after facing defeat or failure are some of the organization's most valuable assets.
[9] 领导者的逆境商数很高,但也具有良好的智商和情商。虽然逆境商数在预测组织的成功和持久力方面起着重要作用,但优秀的领导者也往往具有高情商和高智商。良好的智商地位可以让一个人快速了解事实和过程,而良好的情商可以让一个人在紧张或高压力的情况下保持头脑清醒。然而,AQ 将在组织面临巨大挑战时展示其有用性。领导者的 AQ 越高,他或她在艰难情况下成功的机会就越大。在面临失败或失败后迅速站起来的领导者是组织最宝贵的资产之一。

For once in a man’s life, he would have to regard “defeat” as the strange forces that control events in life. And defeat, could well be turned around to something helpful if well dealt with.
Mrs. Pat Mmakwe is one of the very few women who could actually manage a hopeless situation and turn it around to make the best use of.
Having devoted 16 years to the civil (民航) service as a computer analyst (分析员), she felt all hope was lost for her. She explained: “I had worked with the Nigerian Airports Authority (管理局) for 16 years before I was fired in 1991. You know, as a computer analyst, I tried several times to see if I could go back but it didn't work out. Even some friends tried to help me get a job in some other places but it was so serious that all their efforts proved unsuccessful.
After all efforts to get a job somewhere else failed, she decided to look for something challenging (挑战性) to do. Then, with her little knowledge of the fashion business which she had learned over the years from her mother and sisters, she decided to take action.
It was a noticeable (值得注意的) success when on Match 3, 2001, friends and well wishers gathered to celebrate the life of a successful fashion designer when she graduated the second set of students from the school, Patty Creations School of Textile and Fashion Designing.
The event was a colorful one with Mrs. Mmakwe, the owner of Patty Creations, gracefully (优雅的) clothed in a well-designed dress showing her designs. Delivering a speech at that time, she expressed satisfaction in what she found herself doing and concluded that it was a big achievement (成就) for her.
在一个人的一生中,他将不得不将“失败”视为控制生活中事件的奇异力量。而失败,如果处理得当,很可能会转变成有益的事情。Pat Mmakwe 夫人是极少数能够真正处理绝望情况并扭转局面以充分利用它的女性之一。 作为一名计算机分析师(分析员),她致力于民航服务 16 年,她觉得自己所有的希望都破灭了。她解释说:“在 1991 年被解雇之前,我已经在尼日利亚机场管理局 (管理局) 工作了 16 年。你知道,作为一名计算机分析师,我尝试了好几次,看看我是否可以回去,但没有成功。甚至一些朋友也试图帮助我在其他地方找到一份工作,但情况太严重了,他们所有的努力都失败了。 在寻找其他地方的工作失败后,她决定寻找一些具有挑战性 (CHALLENGE 性) 的事情来做。然后,凭借多年来从母亲和姐妹那里学到的时尚业务知识,她决定采取行动。 在 2001 年的第 3 场比赛中,当她从该校第二批学生 Patty Creations 纺织与时装设计学院毕业时,朋友和祝福者聚集在一起庆祝一位成功的时装设计师的一生,这是一个显着的(值得注意的)成功。 这次活动是一场丰富多彩的活动,Patty Creations 的老板 Mmakwe 夫人优雅(优雅)地穿着一件设计精美的连衣裙展示她的设计。当时发表演讲时, 她对自己所做的事情表示满意,并得出结论,这对她来说是一个很大的成就(成就)。

Everyone knows that arriving late is the scourge of air travel. But many passengers have started to complain about something they find almost as irritating: arriving early. Or landing early, to be more precise.
每个人都知道迟到是航空旅行的祸害。但许多乘客已经开始抱怨他们觉得几乎同样令人恼火的事情:提前到达。或者更准确地说,提前着陆。
If a flight is not held up by air traffic congestion, weather or some mechanical difficulty, it may well touch down at its destination before it is scheduled to arrive. But showing up early often means waiting for gate space at the terminal, which is becoming increasingly scarce. As the minutes tick by, expectant passengers are left to gape through the portholes at the Promised Land, just beyond reach.
如果航班没有因空中交通拥堵、天气或某些机械故障而延误,它很可能在计划到达之前降落在目的地。但提前出现通常意味着在航站楼等待登机口空间,而航站楼的登机口空间正变得越来越稀缺。随着时间的流逝,期待的乘客们只能从应许之地的舷窗里目瞪口呆,就在遥不可及的地方。
"Once you arrive, the last thing you want is another delay," said Michael Gaiss, who estimates that he has flown more than 100,000 miles this year. "I would say it happens 20 percent to 25 percent of the time." The deficiencies of government data gathering make it hard to be precise.
“一旦你到达,你最不想看到的就是再次延误,”迈克尔·盖斯说,他估计他今年已经飞行了超过 100,000 英里。“我会说它发生 20% 到 25% 的时间。”政府数据收集的缺陷使其难以准确。
But top airline executives acknowledge they are aware of passengers' annoyance over early arrivals. And officials say it is part of a broader problem with congestion at the nation's busiest airports—including a competition for gates that can leave travellers stranded on planes whether they land early, late or on time.
但航空公司的高管们承认,他们知道乘客对提前到达的担忧。官员们表示,这是美国最繁忙的机场拥堵这一更广泛问题的一部分,包括对登机口的竞争,无论旅客是否提前、晚点或准时降落,都可能使旅客滞留在飞机上。
Paradoxically, the problems stem in large measure from the airlines' efforts to improve their on-time records. As congestion has increased in recent years, the major airlines have padded their schedules to more accurately reflect the longer gate-to-gate travel time caused by air traffic problems of all sorts.
矛盾的是,这些问题在很大程度上源于航空公司努力提高其准点率记录。随着近年来拥堵的增加,主要航空公司纷纷调整其时刻表,以更准确地反映各种空中交通问题导致的门到门旅行时间延长。
For example, a flight from Kennedy International Airport to Seattle took 22 minutes and 48 seconds longer last year than a decade earlier, even though the time in the air has not changed.
例如,去年从肯尼迪国际机场飞往西雅图的航班比十年前多花了 22 分 48 秒,尽管空中时间没有变化。
Airlines and the government do not track the waiting times of flights that arrive early. However, it is clear that waiting to roll the final distance to the gate is taking longer, no matter when a flight arrives.
航空公司和政府不会跟踪提前到达的航班的等待时间。然而,很明显,无论航班何时到达,等待滚动到登机口的最后距离都需要更长的时间。
The inspector-general found that waits lasting an hour or more, from the time a plane lands to the time it pulls up to a gate, increased by 35 percent from 1995 to 1999.
监察长发现,从 1995 年到 1999 年,从飞机降落到登机口,等待时间增加了 35% 或更长时间。
On Dec. 15, four of American Eagle's commuter flights sat for 90 minutes to two hours before the passengers were taken off on buses. On Nov. 27, travelers on a Delta Air Lines flight that arrived two hours late from Birmingham, Alabama, waited three and a half hours to disembark—almost tripling the length of their scheduled three-hour flight.
12 月 15 日,American Eagle 的四架通勤航班在乘客乘坐公共汽车下车之前停留了 90 分钟到 2 小时。11 月 27 日,从阿拉巴马州伯明翰抵达的达美航空航班晚点了两个小时,乘客们等了三个半小时才下飞机,几乎是他们原定三个小时飞行时间的三倍。

What Is Innovation and How Can Businesses Foster It?
什么是创新,企业如何促进创新?
[1] John Bessant, professor and author, explains why innovation is often confused with ideation (构思过程), and why learning from failure is so crucial to business success.
[1] 教授兼作家 John Bessant 解释了为什么创新经常与构思过程相混淆,以及为什么从失败中学习对企业成功如此重要。
How would you define innovation?
您如何定义创新?
[2] Innovation means creating value from ideas. While a lot of interest is in commercial value, a lot can be done with social value. For the Red Cross, creating social value is a case of life and death, and while it's not creating lots of money, it's creating real value from ideas such as simple low-cost hygiene (卫生清洁)products to avoid sanitation-linked(环境卫生相关的)infection. There should be no limits as to where innovation comes from. It can come from our own teams, what competitors are doing, and the market. Today, it's all about what users want and need, so it's up to businesses to make sure that they have a good set of antennae (E) to pick up on these trends.
[2] 创新意味着从想法中创造价值。虽然很多人都对商业价值感兴趣,但社会价值可以做很多事情。对于红十字会来说,创造社会价值是生死攸关的问题,虽然它不会创造大量资金,但它通过简单的低成本卫生(卫生清洁)产品等想法创造了真正的价值,以避免与卫生相关的(环境卫生相关的)感染。创新的来源不应该有限制。它可能来自我们自己的团队、竞争对手在做什么以及市场。今天,一切都与用户想要和需要什么有关,因此企业需要确保他们有一套好的天线 (E) 来捕捉这些趋势。
How do people commonly misdefine it?
人们通常如何错误地定义它?
[3] People conflate (混淆) ideation with innovation. If I have a great idea for a heart valve, I will need a long time to refine the idea, take on board other people's input and knowledge to develop it, and require users to test it. It's a long journey to create potential value from an idea.
[3] 人们将构思与创新混为一谈。如果我有一个关于心脏瓣膜的好主意,我将需要很长时间来完善这个想法,吸收其他人的意见和知识来开发它,并要求用户对其进行测试。从想法中创造潜在价值是一段漫长的旅程。
What ingredients are required for business innovation?
业务创新需要哪些要素?
[4] You need a roadmap for the journey to creating value, and a strategy that lays out where and how innovation is going to help your organization get to where it needs to be. Businesses then need to create an atmosphere where creativity is welcomed by making people feel like they can deliver an idea and that it's safe to share their own and link up with others.
[4] 您需要一个创造价值之旅的路线图,以及一个战略,阐明创新将在何处以及如何帮助您的组织达到需要的位置。然后,企业需要创造一种氛围,让人们觉得他们可以提出一个想法,并且可以安全地分享自己的想法并与他人建立联系,从而欢迎创造力。
[5] It's also crucial to collaborate. The need to build links has always been there, but today it's called "open innovation" — which means networking with people inside and outside of the organization.
[5] 合作也很重要。建立联系的需求一直存在,但今天它被称为“开放式创新”——这意味着与组织内外的人建立联系。
[6] Lastly, you need to give yourself time to reflect and improve your approach. The characteristic of companies such as Three mobile or Philips, which has been around for more than 100 years, is the need to adapt their innovation approach.
[6] 最后,您需要给自己时间来反思和改进您的方法。Three mobile 或 Philips 等公司已经存在了 100 多年,其特点是需要调整其创新方法。
What challenges might a larger company face when it comes to innovating?
大公司在创新方面可能面临哪些挑战?
[7] Any firm begins as a start-up with one idea - and while it's hard, it can make that happen. However, when you start to grow and have to balance multiple ideas, you need a portfolio of innovation. That means having some ideas that are long shots and some that are fairly safe.
[7] 任何公司都是从一个想法开始的初创公司——虽然这很困难,但它可以实现它。但是,当您开始发展并且必须平衡多种想法时,您需要一个创新组合。这意味着要有一些可能性很长的想法,也有一些相当安全的想法。
[8] Very often, organizations get stuck at playing safe, so their form of innovation becomes doing what they do better, and it becomes more incremental (逐渐增加的) as the organization tries to manage risks and maintain stability. But to survive, you need to stretch out and explore; balancing between the safe bets and long shots is a tension that many organizations need.
[8] 很多时候,组织会陷入安全游戏的困境,因此他们的创新形式变成了做他们做得更好的事情,并且随着组织试图管理风险和保持稳定,它变得更加渐进(逐渐增加的)。但要生存,你需要伸展身体并探索;在安全赌注和冷门之间取得平衡是许多组织需要的紧张关系。
Can you measure innovation?
您能衡量创新吗?
[9] You can measure what you put in, such as the money or the time that you give employees to work on the idea. You can do the same with things that come out, such as how many new products have been released in the past few years, as a proportion of the products that your organization offers. Or you can count the number and type of suggestions for innovation made by employees. It's also important to measure the process of how well a business is managing innovation, rather like going to the gym and running through how strong you are in different muscle groups.
[9] 您可以衡量您投入的金额,例如您给员工实现这个想法的金钱或时间。您可以对出现的内容执行相同的作,例如过去几年发布了多少新产品,占组织提供的产品的比例。或者您可以计算员工提出的创新建议的数量和类型。衡量企业管理创新的过程也很重要,就像去健身房了解不同肌肉群的强度一样。
What common mistakes do businesses make when it comes to innovation?
企业在创新方面常犯哪些错误?
[10] The most common is putting everything into an idea and never getting actual innovation. Businesses need to have some kind of process for translating those ideas into something that creates value. They also fall prey to becoming insular(孤立的;保守的)by not exploring all the possible spaces open for innovation. They will only focus on improving their products, for example, when they could also be innovating their processes at the same time.
[10] 最常见的是把所有东西都放在一个想法中,却从来没有得到真正的创新。企业需要有某种流程将这些想法转化为创造价值的东西。他们也成为变得孤立的牺牲品(孤立的;保守的)不探索所有可能的创新空间。他们只会专注于改进他们的产品,例如,当他们也可以同时创新他们的流程时。
Can you teach people to be innovative?
你能教人们创新吗?
[11] Yes. It's not just about technology, or asking the market what it wants, because they don't always know. Sometimes, as was the case with the iPhone, you have to lead the market. A popular idea at the moment is business model innovation, where companies are changing their identity from being a supplier to a creator of a specific service. Airbnb doesn't own a single hotel, but is the world's largest accommodation provider with its business model based on a platform enabling people to share their own spaces.
[11] 是的。这不仅仅是关于技术,或者询问市场想要什么,因为他们并不总是知道。有时,就像 iPhone 一样,您必须引领市场。目前一个流行的想法是商业模式创新,公司正在将其身份从供应商转变为特定服务的创建者。Airbnb 没有一家酒店,但它是全球最大的住宿提供商,其商业模式基于一个平台,使人们能够分享自己的空间。
[12] Consultants and lecturers can teach what to do but, in the end, mastering the technique and approach is up to individual businesses and people. They need the ability to manage innovations by being willing to admit that something didn't work in the past and seeing how it can work better in the future.
[12] 顾问和讲师可以教他们该做什么,但最终,掌握技术和方法取决于各个企业和人员。他们需要通过愿意承认某些事情在过去不起作用并看到它在未来如何更好地发挥作用来管理创新。

A computer is a machine with a complex network of electronic circuits (电路) that operate switches. The switches are capable of being in one of two possible states, that is, on or off. The machine is capable of storing and dealing with numbers, letters, and characters. The basic idea of a computer is that we can make the machine do what we want simply by inputting signals that turn certain switches on and turn others off.
计算机是一台具有复杂电子电路 (电路) 网络的机器,用于作开关。开关能够处于两种可能的状态之一,即 on 或 off。该机器能够存储和处理数字、字母和字符。计算机的基本思想是,我们只需输入打开某些开关和关闭其他开关的信号,就可以让机器做我们想做的事。
Computers are thought to have many remarkable powers. However, most computers, whether large or small, have three basic capabilities. First, computers have circuits for performing arithmetic operations, such as: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and exponentiation. Second, computers have a means of communicating with the user. After all, if we couldn't feed information in and get results back, these machines wouldn't be of much use. However, certain computers (commonly minicomputers and microcomputers) are used to control directly things such as robots (机器人), medical instruments, etc.
计算机被认为具有许多非凡的能力。但是,大多数计算机,无论大小,都具有三种基本功能。首先,计算机具有执行算术运算的电路,例如:加法、减法、除法、乘法和幂运算。其次,计算机有一种与用户通信的方式。毕竟,如果我们不能提供信息并返回结果,这些机器就不会有太大用处。但是,某些计算机(通常是微型计算机和微型计算机)用于直接控制机器人(机器人)、医疗器械等事物。
Some of the most common methods of inputting information are to use magnetic tape, disks, and terminals. The computer's input device reads the information into the computer.
一些最常见的信息输入方法是使用磁带、磁盘和终端。计算机的输入设备将信息读入计算机。
For outputting information, two common devices used are a printer which prints the new information on paper, or a CRT display screen which shows the results on a TV-like screen.
为了输出信息,常用使用两种设备,一种是将新信息打印在纸上的打印机,另一种是将结果显示在类似电视的屏幕上的 CRT 显示屏。
Third, computers have circuits which can make decisions. The kinds of decisions which computer circuits can make are not of the type: "Who would win a war between two countries?" or "Who is the richest person in the world?" Unfortunately, the computer can only decide three things, namely: Is one number less than another? Are two numbers equal? And is one number greater than another?
第三,计算机具有可以做出决策的电路。计算机电路可以做出的决策类型不是:“谁会赢得两个国家之间的战争”或“谁是世界上最富有的人”的类型。不幸的是,计算机只能决定三件事,即:一个数字是否比另一个数字少?两个数字相等吗?一个数字比另一个数字大吗?

It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints (约束) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don't at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth's story:
谈判初始工资要求更容易,因为一旦你进入内部,组织约束(约束)就会影响工资增长。然而,有一件事是肯定的:如果您至少不要求加薪,那么您获得您认为应得的加薪的机会会更小。男性往往要求更多,他们得到更多,其他资源也是如此,而不仅仅是加薪。考虑一下 Beth 的故事:
I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle (小隔间) offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.
当我没有要求时,我没有得到我想要的。我们有小隔间办公室和窗户办公室。我和几位男同事坐在隔间里。他们一个接一个地被搬进了靠窗的办公室,而我则留在隔间里,在我之后雇用的几个男性也去了办公室。其中一位特别告诉我,他是下一个职位的候选人,这是他为这份工作进行谈判的一部分。我猜他们认为我满足于呆在隔间里,因为无论如何我都没有表达我的观点。
It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but "nice" isn't a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you'll probably have to ask for it.
如果我们都能获得与我们的功绩相等的自动加薪,那就太好了,但“好”并不是大多数组织都应该具备的品质。如果您觉得自己应该大幅加薪,您可能不得不提出要求。
Performance is your best bargaining chip (筹码) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.
当您寻求加薪时,绩效是您最好的讨价还价筹码 (筹码)。您必须能够证明您应该加薪。时机也是一个很好的讨价还价筹码。如果你能在做出绩效工资决定之前给你的老板他或她需要的东西(例如,新客户或一份大额合同),你更有可能得到你想要的加薪。
Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market.
也使用信息作为讨价还价的筹码。找出您在公开市场上的价值。
What will someone else pay for your services?
其他人会为您的服务支付多少费用?
Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.
进入谈判,准备好在适当的时间将您的筹码放在桌子上,并准备好使用沟通方式来指导互动的方向。

When I was young, I had a very narrow understanding of beauty. I used to A it with only physical things. It was about what the eye could see: soft hair, clear skin, M clothes, a good figure... I think some other people may also have gone through this phase of wanting the perfect shell defined solely in terms of I standards.
When I first entered the modeling industry, I was always L to conform to others’ criteria of beauty. I would think, “Well, if they say I’m beautiful, then I am. But if they don’t, then I’m not.” Even today, I can’t believe how K my thoughts were.
I want to correct this narrow idea that our beauty comes from the notions and approval of other people. When we allow others to determine what is beautiful, we fail to express and accept our individuality, our unique physical and personal O. I think we should ask ourselves the question “What is beautiful to me?” and construct our own C of beauty that are more comprehensive and more meaningful.
As time goes on, I have gradually expanded my definitions of beauty, without limiting them to what lies on the outside. I have started to realize that physical beauty won’t last forever because we humans are all H and will grow old inevitably. I have met many strong and courageous women, for example, a friend who N breast cancer and a cousin who works hard to provide for her child. I have also met many women who are devoted to their careers. Their confidence radiates from their D to their professional pursuits. These women are examples of beautiful actions and thoughts. They embrace being themselves.
年轻的时候,我对美的理解非常狭隘。我以前只 用物理的东西来 A 它。这是关于眼睛能看到的:柔软的头发、白皙的皮肤、 M 衣服、好身材......我认为其他一些人可能也经历过这个阶段,想要仅根据 I 标准定义完美的 shell。 当我刚进入模特行业时,我总是 L 以符合别人的美标准。我会想,“嗯,如果他们说我很漂亮,那我就是。但如果他们不这样做,那我就不是。即使在今天,我也不敢相信我的想法是怎样 的。 我想纠正这种狭隘的想法,即我们的美来自他人的观念和认可。当我们允许他人决定什么是美时,我们就无法表达和接受我们的个性、我们独特的身体和个人 O。我认为我们应该问自己这个问题“对我来说什么是美的”,并构建我们自己的 更全面、更有意义的美 C 。 随着时间的推移,我逐渐扩大了我对美的定义,而不是将它们局限于外表。我开始意识到,外表美不会永远持续下去,因为我们人类都是 H ,不可避免地会变老。我遇到过许多坚强而勇敢的女性,例如,一位患有乳腺癌的 朋友和一位努力工作供养孩子的表亲。我也遇到了许多致力于事业的女性。 他们的自信从他们的 D 辐射到他们的职业追求。这些女性是美丽行为和思想的典范。他们拥抱做自己。

China: New Leadership, New Approaches
中国:新领导力,新方法
[1] What are the governing ideas of China's new leadership? In which direction is China heading? Will China continue its reform and opening-up policy? What is the basis of China's foreign policy?
[1] 中国新领导层的执政理念是什么?中国将朝着哪个方向发展?中国会继续改革开放吗?中国外交政策的基础是什么?
[2] Answers can be found in the new book
[2] 答案可以在新书中找到The Governance of China
中国治理 by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of China. The book contains his speeches, together with photos about his work and personal life. The book sheds light on the approach of the new leadership to the governance of China.
作者:习近平,中国共产党总书记、中国国家主席。这本书包含了他的演讲,以及有关他的工作和个人生活的照片。这本书阐明了新领导层对中国治理的态度。
Consensus with the Chinese Dream
与中国梦达成共识
[3] Due to profound changes in the country's economic and social life and the evolution in the public mindset, people from different regions, social strata (阶层),and fields of endeavor (努力) naturally do not think alike. Discord (<想法等的>不一致) could undermine development, and therefore the consensus is a pressing need.
[3] 由于国家经济和社会生活的深刻变化以及公众心态的演变,来自不同地区、社会阶层(阶层)和努力领域的人们自然不会有相同的想法。Discord(<想法等的> 不一致)可能会破坏开发,因此共识是一个紧迫的需求。
[4] To find consensus, the most important is to identify the common goal. Since the 1840s, the Chinese people have successively striven towards and made sacrifices for one goal—the rejuvenation (复兴) of the Chinese nation. This dream resonates in every Chinese heart and becomes the common aspiration (抱负) of all the Chinese in and outside the country.
[4] 要找到共识,最重要的是确定共同目标。自 1840 年代以来,中国人民先后为同一个目标而奋斗和牺牲,即中华民族的复兴。这个梦想在每个中国人的心中产生共鸣,成为国内外全体中国人的共同愿望。
[5] The Chinese Dream, says Xi Jinping, in essence means prosperity for the country, rejuvenation of the nation, and happiness for the people. It is the dream of the country, of the nation, and of every Chinese, because it brings together the interests of the nation and of individual citizens.
[5]习近平说,中国梦本质上意味着国家的繁荣、民族的复兴和人民的幸福。这是国家、民族和每个中国人的梦想,因为它汇集了国家和公民个人的利益。
The Chinese road with confidence
自信的中国之路
[6] Chinese President Xi Jinping has a famous saying that "only the wearer of the shoes knows if they fit, and only the people can best tell if the development path they have chosen for their country suits". He believes that unique cultural traditions, historical experience, and national conditions determine that the Chinese must take a development path that suits their own characteristics.
[6] 中国国家主席习近平有一句名言:“只有鞋子的穿着者知道鞋子是否合脚,只有人民才能最好地判断他们为国家选择的发展道路是否适合”。他认为,独特的文化传统、历史经验和国情决定了中国人必须走一条适合自身特点的发展道路。
Reform is a bridge to our dreams
改革是通往梦想的桥梁
[7] The book presents Xi Jinping's overall vision of reform, and the particularities of how reform will impact on China's economy, politics, culture, society, ecology and national defense. China finds itself confronted by a series of conflicts and challenges, such as unbalanced and unsustainable development, drawbacks in scientific and technological innovation, and gaps between rural and urban development and income. If these problems are not solved, China's development will be hampered, and the Chinese Dream will remain elusive.
[7] 本书介绍了习近平对改革的总体愿景,以及改革将如何影响中国经济、政治、文化、社会、生态和国防的特殊性。中国面临着一系列冲突和挑战,例如发展不平衡和不可持续、科技创新存在弊端以及城乡发展和收入差距。如果这些问题得不到解决,中国的发展就会受到阻碍,中国梦就遥不可及。
[8] Xi Jinping makes the point that deeper reform and opening-up is the only way to solve development problems. "Reform and opening-up is always ongoing and will never end."
[8] 习近平指出,深化改革开放是解决发展问题的唯一途径。“改革开放永远在进行,永远不会结束。”
Changing work conducts and combating corruption
改变工作行为和打击腐败
[9] The new central leadership, committed to a policy of zero-tolerance with regard to corruption, is firm in its determination to catch "tigers" and "flies" -high-ranking officials guilty of corruption as well as petty (小的) ones. Dozens of corrupt officials at ministerial (部级的) level or above have already fallen from power, and serious cases are under investigation. Clearly committed to combating corruption with "combined blows", Xi Jinping has also vowed to have "power being 'caged' by the system," stressing the construction of a system to restrict the exercise of power and subject it to public scrutiny.
[9]新的中央领导层致力于对腐败采取零容忍政策,决心抓住“老虎”和“苍蝇”——犯有腐败罪的高级官员和小(小的)官员。数十名部级以上腐败官员已经下台,严重案件正在调查中。习近平明确致力于以“联合打击”的方式打击腐败,还誓言要“让权力被体制'囚禁'”,强调构建一个限制权力行使并接受公众监督的制度。
Responsible, pragmatic and credible party and government
负责任、务实、有公信力的党政
[10] "I will govern by serving the people and fulfilling the responsibilities imposed on me." Xi Jinping believes that to be responsible means to adhere to principles with a sense of responsibility and to have the courage to take resolute action when confronted by major issues of principle, to tackle difficulties head-on and never to shy away from conflict, to face all kinds of crises, to admit one's part in mistakes, and to resolutely fight against misconduct.
[10]“我将通过为人民服务和履行赋予我的责任来治理国家。”习近平认为,负责任就是以责任心坚守原则,在重大原则问题面前勇于果断行动,迎难而上,绝不避讳冲突,面对各种危机,承认自己的错误, 坚决打击不当行为。
[11] Xi Jinping stresses that officials should have a sound understanding of political achievements and be realistic and far sighted, laying solid foundations rather than seeking quick wins.
[11] 习近平强调,官员要对政治成就有深刻的理解,要实事求是、有远见,要打好基础,不能急功近利。
Stable progress with faith and determination
以信念和决心稳步前进
[12] "Faith and determination" also feature among Xi Jinping's favorite terms. In this book, he applies the terms mainly to political faith and strategic determination. Political faith refers to firm beliefs, and strategic determination has various forms of expression. The new central leadership has maintained stable economic growth, keeping employment above a bottom line and inflation below an upper ceiling.
[12]“信仰和决心”也是习近平最喜欢的词。在这本书中,他主要将这些术语应用于政治信仰和战略决策。政治信仰是指坚定的信念,战略决策有多种表现形式。新一届中央领导班子保持了稳定的经济增长,将就业保持在底线以上,将通货膨胀保持在上限以下。
A community of common destiny and win-win relationships
命运共同体,共赢共赢
[13] Many articles of the book address Xi Jinping's ideas on diplomacy and international relations. He has stressed on a number of occasions that we live in a global village, and should be conscious of our common destiny. He thinks that zero-sum thinking (零和思维) is outdated, and that we must blaze a new trail of win-win cooperation.
[13]该书的许多文章都讨论了习近平关于外交和国际关系的思想。他多次强调,我们生活在一个地球村,应该意识到我们共同的命运。他认为零和思维已经过时了,我们必须开辟合作共赢的新路子。
[14] Speaking of China's relations with other countries, Xi Jinping highlights these principles through four words; friendship, sincerity, reciprocity (互惠) and inclusiveness—the path of China's peaceful development.
[14] 谈到中国与其他国家的关系,习近平通过四个词强调了这些原则;友好、真诚、互惠、包容——中国和平发展之路。
[15] The new central leadership has been creative in developing new diplomatic ideas, and in response it has won the approval of the international community. The book presents a wide range of novel ideas and strategies which merit careful study. In it, you are likely to find many valuable clues to China's future.
[15]新的中央领导层在发展新的外交理念方面具有创造性,作为回应,它赢得了国际社会的认可。这本书提出了广泛的新奇想法和策略,值得仔细研究。在其中,您可能会找到许多关于中国未来的宝贵线索。

Our fears of public speaking result not only from what we do not know or understand about public communication but also from misconceptions (误解) and myths (错误观念) about public interactions.
我们对公开演讲的恐惧不仅源于我们对公共交流的不了解或不理解,还源于对公共互动的误解(误解)和神话(错误观念)。
Perhaps the most popular myth about public communication is that it is a “special” activity reserved for unusual occasions. After all, how often do you make a public speech? There are only a few special occasions during the year when an outgoing professional person will step onto a platform to give a public speech, and many professional people can count on one hand the number of speeches given in the career.
也许关于公共交流最流行的神话是,这是一项为不寻常的场合保留的“特殊”活动。毕竟,你多久发表一次公开演讲呢?一年中只有少数特殊场合,外向的专业人士会走上讲台发表公开演讲,许多专业人士可以用一只手数出职业生涯中的演讲次数。
This argument, of course, ignores the true nature of public communication and the nature of the occasions in which it occurs. When we engage with people we do not know well to solve problems, share understanding and opinions, advocate points of view, or seek stimulation, we are engaged in public speaking. Public communication is a familiar, daily activity that occurs in the streets, in restaurants, courtrooms, parks, offices, factories and meetings.
当然,这种论点忽略了公共交流的真正性质及其发生场合的性质。当我们与我们不熟悉的人接触以解决问题、分享理解和意见、倡导观点或寻求刺激时,我们就是在进行公开演讲。公共交流是一种熟悉的日常活动,发生在街道、餐馆、法庭、公园、办公室、工厂和会议中。
A related misconception about public communication is the belief that the public speaker is a specially gifted individual. While most professional people would reject the idea that public speakers are born, not made, they nevertheless often feel that the effective public communicator has developed unusual personal talents to a remarkable degree. At the heart of this misconception – like the myth of public speaking as a “special” activity – is an overly narrow view of what a public person is and does.
关于公共传播的一个相关误解是认为 公众演讲者是一个特别有天赋的人 。虽然大多数专业人士会拒绝公众演讲者是天生的,而不是后天培养的,但他们仍然经常认为有效的公共传播者已经发展了非凡的个人才能。这种误解的核心——就像公开演讲是一种“特殊”活动的神话一样——是对公众人物是什么和做什么的看法过于狭隘。
Development as an effective public communicator begins with the understanding that you need not be a nationally-known speaker to be a competent (合格的) public person. The public speaker is an ordinary person who faces the necessity of being a public person.
作为一名有效的公共传播者,要发展成为一名有效的公共传播者,首先要明白你不需要是一个全国知名的演讲者,也要成为一个称职的(合格的)公众人物。公众演讲者是一个普通人,面临着成为公众人物的必要性。
Once we understand what public interactions assume and demand, once we unburden ourselves of the myth about public speaking, we can properly begin to develop as competent public communicators.
一旦我们了解了公共互动的假设和要求,一旦我们摆脱了关于公开演讲的神话,我们就可以适当地开始发展成为称职的公共传播者。

Not long ago, 20,000 middle- and high-school students were surveyed (调查). 92 percent of the teenagers admitted having lied to their parents in the previous year, and 73 percent of them call themselves as “serial liars”, people continually lying. Despite these admissions, 91 percent of all those people said they were “satisfied with my own character”. Think how often we hear the expressions “I’ll call you” or “I’m sorry, but he stepped out”. And then there are professions, such as lawyers and consultants (顾问), whose members seem to specialize in shaping the truth to suit clients’ (当事人) needs. Little white lies become widespread, and the reasons we give each other for telling lies are familiar. “What’s wrong with that?”
不久前,对 20,000 名初中生和高中生进行了调查 (调查)。92% 的青少年承认在过去一年中对父母撒过谎,其中 73% 的人称自己为 “连环骗子”,不断撒谎。尽管承认了这些,但所有这些人中有 91% 表示他们“对自己的性格感到满意”。想想我们有多少次听到 “I'll call you” 或 “I'm sorry, but he stepped out” 这样的表达。还有一些职业,比如律师和顾问,他们的成员似乎专门塑造真相以满足客户(当事人)的需求。善意的小谎言变得普遍,我们互相给出说谎的理由很熟悉。“这怎么了?”
How often do we praise people for how well they look, or express our appreciation for gifts, when we don’t really mean it? Surely, these “nice lies” are harmless and well intended, a necessary social lubricant (润滑剂). But, we should remember the words of English novelist Sir Walter Scott, who wrote, “What a tangled (错综复杂的) web we weave (编), when first we practice to deceive.” Even seemingly harmless lies can have unexpected consequences. Psychological obstacles disappear; the ability to make more distinction can become dull; the liar’s awareness of his chances of being caught may become dull. By itself, that kind of lie is of no great consequence.
我们有多少次赞美别人的外表,或者表达我们对礼物的感激之情,而我们并不是真的?当然,这些 “善意的谎言” 是无害的,而且是善意的,是必要的社会润滑剂(润滑剂)。但是,我们应该记住英国小说家沃尔特·斯科特爵士 (Sir Walter Scott) 的话,他写道:“当我们第一次练习欺骗时,我们编织 (编) 了一张多么纠结(错综复杂的)网。即使是看似无害的谎言也可能产生意想不到的后果。心理障碍消失;做出更多区分的能力可能会变得迟钝;说谎者对自己被抓住的机会的认识可能会变得迟钝。就其本身而言,这种谎言并没有什么大不了的后果。
Still, the endless build-up of these lies does matter. Once they’ve become common enough, even the small untruths that are not meant to hurt will encourage a certain doubt and loss of trust. When trust is damaged, the community as a whole suffers; and when it is destroyed, societies collapse. Are all white lies to be avoided at all costs? The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of the principle of trust for the principle of caring, like telling children about Santa Claus, or lying to someone to give him a surprise party. But a president of an institute says, “Still, we must ask ourselves if we are willing to give our friends and associates the authority to lie to us whenever they think it is for our own good.”
尽管如此,这些谎言的无休止积累确实很重要。一旦它们变得足够普遍,即使是那些不打算伤害的小谎言也会鼓励某种怀疑和信任的丧失。当信任受到损害时,整个社区都会受到影响;当它被摧毁时,社会就会崩溃。难道要不惜一切代价避免所有的善意谎言吗?最可以理解和原谅的谎言,就是用信任原则换取关心原则,像是告诉孩子关于圣诞老人的事,或者对某人撒谎,给他一个惊喜派对。但是,一个研究所的院长说,“尽管如此,我们必须问问自己,我们是否愿意让我们的朋友和同事有权在他们认为对我们有益的时候对我们撒谎。

The Basic Job Hunting Tips
基本的求职技巧
Update your CV—Does CV format matter? Sure it does—but only for visualization. You don't want your CV to be cluttered. Keep it simple and O. The most important thing in CV writing is to showcase your skills and experience. Mine is a 3-page CV B only my skills, experience and achievements. I have excluded sections such as career F, which I personally think don't count and merely take up CV space. Use the limited space to present G information. Also, be sure to use keywords that M look for. For auditors, examples would be IFRS, consolidation, COSO, internal controls, data analytics, project management, etc. You may also want to prepare a cover letter as it is sometimes required.
Create a job profile—I wasted no time in creating my candidate profile on several job portals like Seek, Indeed, Careerone, Jorah, Jobactive, RobertHalf, Hays, Charterhouse, etc. But to be I, out of all of these job sites, I found Seek, Indeed and Jorah to be the most useful. I spent 2 to 3 hours every day L through these websites and sending my applications out.
Email the recruiter directly—Most of the time, the job posts A the contact information of the recruiter (name, email, contact number). As a second step, I directly sent emails to the recruiters with my CV D.
LinkedIn helps, too—I also upgraded to LinkedIn Premium account and sent Inmails directly to recruiters. You can only send up to 5 Inmails per month, so I sent messages related to the jobs I really liked and where I felt I had the greatest chance of being interviewed. I have to mention at this point that I E my job through LinkedIn.

Virtual Currency and Cryptocurrency
虚拟货币和加密货币
Virtual currencies(虚拟货币) and cryptocurrencies (加密数字货币), newly emerging currencies in the past decade, have attracted the interests of many people, especially young people. We should be aware that these currencies are not issued by governments but rather by individuals and organizations, where cybercrime is frequently involved. So people should be cautious in using these currencies for investment.
[1] Virtual currencies are a relatively new way to transfer value, and are frequently used in connection with cybercrime. Cryptocurrencies are a type of virtual currency, with Bitcoin (比特币) being the most popular. Virtual currencies are not issued by governments but rather by individuals and organizations that decide to create their own payment systems. So long as people believe a virtual currency has value and are willing to accept it or exchange it, then it has value.
[2] The first step in using virtual currency is to create an account within that particular virtual currency platform. Once a user has an account, there are two ways to get units of the currency into it. A user can be paid virtual currency by someone else, or a user can go to a virtual currency exchanger and exchange regular money for units of the virtual currency. Virtual currency exchanges are often independent dealers or businesses that charge a fee for exchanging virtual currencies and fiat (许可) currencies.
[3] Virtual currency has a number of general characteristics that make it appealing for cybercrime and identity theft.
虚拟货币 (Virtual currency) 和加密货币 (crypt digital 货币 ) 是过去十年中新兴的货币 ,吸引了许多人的兴趣,尤其是年轻人。我们应该意识到 ,这些货币不是由政府发行的,而是由经常涉及网络犯罪的个人和组织发行的。因此,人们在使用这些货币进行投资时应谨慎。[1] 虚拟货币是一种相对较新的价值转移方式,经常用于与网络犯罪有关。加密货币是一种虚拟货币,其中比特币 (BTC) 最受欢迎。虚拟货币不是由政府发行的,而是由决定创建自己的支付系统的个人和组织发行的。只要人们相信虚拟货币有价值并愿意接受或兑换它,那么它就有价值。[2] 使用虚拟货币的第一步是在该特定虚拟货币平台中创建一个账户。用户拥有账户后,有两种方法可以将货币单位存入账户。用户可以由其他人支付虚拟货币,或者用户可以前往虚拟货币兑换处将普通货币兑换成虚拟货币单位。虚拟货币交易所通常是独立交易商或企业,他们对虚拟货币和法定(许可)货币的兑换收取费用。[3] 虚拟货币具有许多一般特征,使其对网络犯罪和身份盗窃具有吸引力。
Internet-based. Since cybercrimes are committed or facilitated through the Internet, being able to make payments through the Internet is also essential.
基于 Internet。 由于网络犯罪是通过 Internet 实施或促进的,因此能够通过 Internet 进行支付也是必不可少的。
Anonymous. Cybercrime participants need to send and receive payments anonymously, and will take advantage of any opportunities to do so with virtual currency.
匿名 。网络犯罪参与者需要匿名发送和接收付款,并将利用任何机会使用虚拟货币进行付款。
Instant. With virtual currencies, online payments can be made and verified instantly, or at least faster than most conventional transactions. This feature provides assurance to cybercriminals doing online deals with anonymous criminal associates.
即时 。使用虚拟货币,可以立即进行和验证在线支付,或者至少比大多数传统交易更快。此功能为与匿名犯罪同伙进行在线交易的网络犯罪分子提供了保证。
Irreversible. Virtual currency payments are final once sent, another important quality for payments among anonymous criminals. A criminal cannot trick his counterpart by making a payment, and then trying to take the payment back.
不可逆。 虚拟货币付款一旦发送即为最终付款,这是匿名罪犯付款 的另一个重要品质。罪犯不能通过付款然后 试图收回付款来欺骗他的对手。
[4] Virtual currency is used by cybercriminals in a number of ways, such as:
[4] 网络犯罪分子以多种方式使用虚拟货币,例如:
Payment among participants in the cybercrime and identity theft economy. Virtual currency allows participants to offer criminal services and goods in a capitalistic environment. Since virtual currency transactions can be conducted anonymously, cybercriminals can transact with one another without identifying themselves.
网络犯罪和身份盗窃经济参与者之间的付款。虚拟货币允许参与者在资本主义环境中提供犯罪服务和商品。由于虚拟货币交易可以匿名进行,因此网络犯罪分子可以在不表明身份的情况下相互交易。
Ransomware (勒索软件) and other extortion (勒索). Criminals looking to extort victims using ransomware, denial of service attacks, and other cybercrimes can demand payment through virtual currency.
Ransomware (勒索软件) 和其他勒索 (勒索)。希望使用勒索软件、拒绝服务攻击和其他网络犯罪勒索受害者的犯罪分子可以要求通过虚拟货币付款。
Money laundering. Suppose an identity thief wants to obtain virtual currency in order to buy some stolen credit card data. He might send traditional money to a virtual currency exchanger, tell the exchanger what account to fund, and then have the virtual currency units added to his account. He then can purchase the stolen data without identifying himself to the data seller (or vice versa), and in a manner difficult for law enforcement to trace back to him.
洗钱。假设一个身份窃贼想要获取虚拟货币以购买一些被盗的信用卡数据。他可能会将传统货币发送到虚拟货币交易所,告诉交易所要为哪个账户注资,然后将虚拟货币单位添加到他的账户中。然后,他可以在不向数据销售者表明身份的情况下(反之亦然)购买被盗数据,并且执法部门很难追溯到他。
[5] Organizations seeking to avoid certain regulations or seeking to collect public interest or investment may name and describe their products to suit their own interests, rather than follow evolving norms. For example, a group hoping to avoid a particular law or regulation might describe their offering as something other than a virtual currency or a virtual asset. Alternatively, a company might describe its product as a "cryptocurrency" to encourage investment interest when it really is not.
[5] 寻求规避某些法规或寻求收集公共利益或投资的组织可能会命名和描述其产品以满足自己的利益,而不是遵循不断发展的规范。例如,希望规避特定法律或法规的团体可能会将其产品描述为虚拟货币或虚拟资产以外的其他产品。或者,一家公司可能会将其产品描述为“加密货币”以鼓励投资兴趣,但实际上并非如此。
[6] Such early virtual currencies as Egold, Liberty Reserve and Webmoney were "centralized", meaning the transactions were administered by a central entity. From a law enforcement and regulatory perspective, a centralized entity can be subpoenaed (传唤), arrested, and held to account for criminal activities. Using these methods, the US government eventually shut down both Egold and Liberty Reserve for enabling money laundering.
[6]Egold、Liberty Reserve 和 Webmoney 等早期虚拟货币是“中心化”的,这意味着交易由一个中央实体管理。从执法和监管的角度来看,中心化实体可以被传唤 (传唤)、逮捕和追究犯罪活动的责任。使用这些方法,美国政府最终关闭了 Egold 和 Liberty Reserve,因为它们允许洗钱。
[7] Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, went live in 2009 and has become the most popular virtual currency to date. Bitcoin is also the first "decentralized" virtual currency, functioning through blockchain technology and the concept of the decentralized ledger. Unlike prior virtual currencies, no one is "in charge" of running Bitcoin. Rather, the currency is managed through open-source software that handles the payment transactions and stores the records. A subset of Bitcoin users operates this software, confirming Bitcoin transactions and storing transaction records on the "distributed ledger". This ledger consists of "blocks" of transaction records, which are "chained" together, hence the term blockchain. For law enforcement and regulators, this decentralization means there is no one at the virtual currency itself to hold accountable if it is used criminally. Instead, investigators need to look to the individuals and exchangers who use Bitcoin or other decentralized cryptocurrencies.
[7]比特币是第一种加密货币,于 2009 年上线,已成为迄今为止最受欢迎的虚拟货币。比特币也是第一个“去中心化”的虚拟货币,通过区块链技术和去中心化账本的概念来运作。与之前的虚拟货币不同,没有人“负责”运行比特币。相反,货币是通过处理支付交易并存储记录的开源软件来管理的。一部分比特币用户作该软件,确认比特币交易并将交易记录存储在“分布式账本”上。该分类账由交易记录的“块”组成,这些记录被“链接”在一起,因此称为区块链。对于执法部门和监管机构来说,这种去中心化意味着如果虚拟货币被用于刑事使用,则没有人可以追究其责任。相反,调查人员需要关注使用比特币或其他去中心化加密货币的个人和交易所。
[8] The pros and cons of virtual currency are frequent topics in the media, so it is worth taking a moment to put virtual currency in perspective. Some argue that virtual currency is a bad invention, largely unregulated, that allows anonymous accounts and payments mostly useful only for criminals. Others argue these virtual currencies are the answer to an overly regulated, monopolistic (垄断的) and stodgy (古板的) financial system. Perhaps the truth is somewhere in between. Clearly, financial regulation has many benefits, including consumer protection and the prevention and detection of money laundering—and the absence of such regulation has risks.
[8] 虚拟货币的优缺点是媒体上经常出现的话题,因此值得花点时间正确看待虚拟货币。一些人认为,虚拟货币是一项糟糕的发明,在很大程度上不受监管,它允许匿名账户和支付大多只对犯罪分子有用。其他人则认为,这些虚拟货币是应对过度监管、垄断 (垄断的) 和古板 (古板的) 金融体系的答案。也许真相介于两者之间。显然,金融监管有很多好处,包括消费者保护以及预防和检测洗钱,而缺乏此类监管则存在风险。
[9] Government regulation of virtual currency has come to the United States but is still evolving. But even with regulation, criminals have shown throughout time that they will exploit any form of value storage or value transfer. Whether cash, bank wire, virtual currency, diamonds, gold, or even the currency within online videogames, criminals will use it if it suits their interests. It is too late to wish virtual currency away. Learning how to best glean clues and leads from virtual currency is a necessary step to making strong cases against cybercriminals.
[9]政府对虚拟货币的监管已经来到美国,但仍在不断发展。但即使有监管,犯罪分子也一直表明他们会利用任何形式的价值存储或价值转移。无论是现金、银行电汇、虚拟货币、钻石、黄金,还是在线视频游戏中的货币,犯罪分子都会在符合他们利益的情况下使用它。现在希望虚拟货币消失为时已晚。学习如何最好地从虚拟货币中收集线索和线索是针对网络犯罪分子提出有力案例的必要步骤。

Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or "bids", for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called "knocking down" the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small hammer on a table at which he stands.
拍卖是由官方批准的拍卖师进行的公开销售商品。他要求聚集在拍卖厅的人群为各种待售物品提供报价或“出价”。他鼓励买家出价更高,最后将出价最高的人指定为商品的买家。这被称为 “敲倒 ”货物,因为当拍卖师用小锤子敲击他所站的桌子时,出价就结束了。

An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by potential buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a "lot", is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers; he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
拍卖通常会事先发布广告,其中包含要出售的物品的全部详细信息以及潜在买家可以在何时何地查看这些物品。如果广告不能提供完整的细节,就会印制目录,每组要一起出售的商品,称为 “批次”,通常会给一个编号。拍卖师无需从 Lot 1 开始,并按数字顺序继续;他可能会等到他注意到房间里有某些买家的事实,然后生产他们可能感兴趣的地块。

The auctioneer's services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible. He will not waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors bid against each other.
拍卖师的服务以商品售价的一定百分比的形式支付。因此,拍卖师对将出价推得尽可能高有直接的利益。他不会因为出价太低而浪费时间。他还将与买家中的对手博弈,并通过鼓励两个商业竞争对手相互出价来成功获得高价。

Sports fans often seek to imitate the heroes they come along to watch. Wimbledon audiences are slim and tanned, rugby supporters are strong and sociable, and crowds at Test match cricket are capable of drinking for almost as long as Andrew Flintoff.
体育迷经常试图模仿他们一起观看的英雄。温布尔登的观众身材苗条,皮肤黝黑,橄榄球支持者坚强且善于交际,板球测试赛的观众几乎可以和安德鲁·弗林托夫一样长时间喝酒。
Football, on the other hand, the world's self-styled "beautiful game," has always attracted an element of fan violence at odds. Football hooliganism in this country became widespread in the 1970s and 1980s with the notorious "firms." It reached its peak with the riots that followed the Luton v Millwall encounter in 1985. Ted Croker, then head of the Football Association, was summoned to an audience with Margaret Thatcher. The police even considered suspending domestic football for a season.
另一方面,足球,这个自封为“美丽运动”的运动,总是吸引着球迷的暴力元素。这个国家的足球流氓行为在 1970 年代和 1980 年代随着臭名昭著的“公司”而变得普遍。它在 1985 年卢顿对阵米尔沃尔之后的骚乱中达到顶峰。时任足球协会主席的泰德·克罗克 (Ted Croker) 被传唤与玛格丽特·撒切尔 (Margaret Thatcher) 一起接见。警方甚至考虑暂停国内足球一个赛季。
A massive police operation was held prior to the Euro 1988 championships in Germany to prevent potential hooligans traveling abroad. After the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, stadiums became all-seated, with better staff, further assisting authorities trying to crack down on hooliganism. Today, serious incidents at domestic games are largely a matter of the past. Home Office statistics published earlier this month showed that football-related arrests fell by 11% to 3,628 last year, an average of only 1.21 a game. Severe banning orders continued to be passed in England and Wales, bringing the banning total to 3,153. The Scots held a conference in October looking at the possibility of introducing similar measures.
在 1988 年欧洲杯在德国举行之前,警方进行了一次大规模的警察行动,以防止潜在的流氓出国旅行。1989 年希尔斯伯勒灾难后,体育场变得座无虚席,工作人员更好,进一步协助当局打击流氓行为。今天,国内比赛中的严重事件在很大程度上已成为过去。内政部本月早些时候公布的统计数据显示,去年与足球相关的逮捕人数下降了 11%,降至 3,628 人,平均每场比赛只有 1.21 人。英格兰和威尔士继续通过严格的禁令,使禁令总数达到 3,153 个。苏格兰人在 10 月举行了一次会议,研究引入类似措施的可能性。
Abroad, English fans have faced a longer journey towards improving their image. While the excesses of the Scottish "tartan army" are laughed off, the English are still viewed as suitable targets for opposing fans and foreign police forces. The Belgian police were accused by fans of overreacting to the tiniest incidents at Euro 2000. During Euro 2004, there were concerns at one point that England might be thrown out of the competition when 32 fans were arrested in one night on the Algarve. Tony Blair said the rioters "brought shame on our country."
在国外,英格兰球迷在改善自己的形象方面面临着漫长的旅程。虽然苏格兰“格子呢军队”的过激行为被嘲笑,但英格兰人仍然被视为对方球迷和外国警察部队的合适目标。比利时警方被球迷指责对 2000 年欧洲杯上最微小的事件反应过度。在 2004 年欧洲杯期间,当阿尔加维一晚有 32 名球迷被捕时,人们一度担心英格兰可能会被淘汰出局。托尼·布莱尔(Tony Blair)说,骚乱者“给我们的国家带来了耻辱”。
Many supporters complain that these incidents are blown out of proportion by the media. The UEFA director of communications actually praised English fans' conduct during Euro 2004 and gave them "9 out of 10 for behavior." There were only six arrests made last year at overseas England matches. The media have even been accused of inciting the violence. The former Mirror editor Piers Morgan had to apologize for his front-page headline during Euro 1996.
许多支持者抱怨这些事件被媒体夸大了。欧足联通讯总监实际上赞扬了英格兰球迷在 2004 年欧洲杯期间的行为,并给他们“行为打了 9 分(满分 10 分)”。去年在海外英格兰比赛中只有 6 人被捕。媒体甚至被指控煽动暴力。前 《镜报》 编辑皮尔斯·摩根 (Piers Morgan) 不得不为他在 1996 年欧洲杯期间的头版头条道歉。

Forget IQ and EQ — Success Is About AQ
忘记智商和情商 — 成功与 AQ 有关
[1] Do you have a high adversity quotient?
[1] 你的逆境商数高吗?
[2] Are development quotients a generational thing? You know—IQ, EQ, and now we have AQ. For a long time, people believed that there was only one measurement of intelligence, and that was the intelligence quotient or IQ. Then, millennials (千禧一代) came and were raised believing that more than their intelligence, it was how they handled their emotions that was more important, hence, we have the emotional quotient or EQ. If you do a search in Google, you will find a lot of literature that says EQ is more important than IQ. But there is also another quotient that seriously needs a spotlight these days, and that is adversity quotient or AQ.
[2] 发展商数是代际事物吗?你知道 - IQ、EQ,现在我们有 AQ。长期以来,人们认为智力的衡量标准只有一个,那就是智商或 IQ。然后,千禧一代 (千禧一代) 来了,他们从小就相信,比他们的智力更重要的是他们如何处理自己的情绪,因此,我们有情商或 EQ。如果你在 Google 中进行搜索,你会发现很多文献都说情商比智商更重要。但如今还有另一个商数非常需要关注,那就是逆境商数或 AQ。
[3] What is adversity quotient or AQ? If emotional quotient is one's ability to handle emotions well, then adversity quotient is the ability to handle adversities well. If AQ sounds like resilience, that's because it is. It is one of the most sought-after (梦寐以求的) characteristics of a person in many industries. It is known by many other names: grit, backbone, fortitude, persistence, tenacity (坚持,顽强) and self-sufficiency. Unlike IQ and EQ, employers associate AQ with stability, strength and power.
[3] 什么是逆境商或 AQ?如果情商是一个人处理好情绪的能力,那么逆境商数就是处理好逆境的能力。如果 AQ 听起来像弹性,那是因为它确实如此。这是许多行业中一个人最炍手可热的特征之一。它有许多其他名称:grit、backbone、fortitude、persistence、tenacity (坚持,顽强) 和 self-sufficiency。与 IQ 和 EQ 不同,雇主将 AQ 与稳定性、力量和力量联系起来。
[4] What are the qualities of a person with high adversity quotient? A person with high adversity quotient is someone who can stick out in a job in spite of its dire circumstances. For people working in human relations, they might gain an idea of a person's AQ when they ask questions like how long you've stayed in your previous job, what made you leave, and what problems you encountered during your former work environment and how you handled them.
[4] 逆境商数高的人有什么品质?逆境商数高的人是能够在恶劣环境中坚持工作的人。对于从事人际关系工作的人来说,当他们问一些问题时,比如你在以前的工作中呆了多长时间,是什么让你离开,你在以前的工作环境中遇到了什么问题,以及你是如何处理这些问题,他们可能会了解一个人的 AQ。
[5] People with high AQs are also the ones who can adapt to drastic changes in an organization, such as changes in management, sudden cost-cutting measures, and being assigned heavier workloads. It does not mean that they sacrifice personal well-being for the sake of grit—they make sure to deliver results first before negotiating terms later. It is like saying, "Yes, what you want is possible, in fact, these are the great results and improvements we made because of it. However, these changes are also taking a toll on the team because ... "
[5] AQ 高的人也是能够适应组织中剧烈变化的人,例如管理层变化、突然的成本削减措施以及被分配更重的工作量。这并不意味着他们为了勇气而牺牲个人福祉——他们确保先取得成果,然后再谈判条款。这就像说,“是的,你想要的都是可能的,事实上,这些是我们因此而取得的巨大成果和改进。然而,这些变化也对团队造成了影响,因为......"
[6] In the face of adversity, high-AQ people will regard it with some level of perceived control, which means they think they have some level of influence over the adversity. Of course, not all adversities can be controlled but, according to Albert Bandura (1997), people who believe they can achieve certain outcomes despite dire circumstances have the incentive to act.
[6]面对逆境,高 AQ 的人会以某种程度的感知控制来看待它,这意味着他们认为他们对逆境有一定程度的影响力。当然,并非所有逆境都可以控制,但根据 Albert Bandura (1997) 的说法,相信自己可以在严峻情况下取得某些结果的人有动力采取行动。
[7] Another trait of people with high AQs is having high endurance, which is closely linked with a perception of an adversity's temporariness. According to Peterson and Steligman (1993), people who perceive adversity as something temporary are more likely to endure it because they hope that such adversity will pass. IQ predicts nothing about your success, but AQ does. "It turns out that IQ predicts almost nothing about health, happiness, wealth - many of the key factors of success. This thing called AQ does," says Dr. Paul G. Stoltz in a talk. "It's your hardwired (固有的;密切相关的)pattern of response to life."
[7] AQ 高的人的另一个特征是具有高耐力,这与对逆境暂时性的看法密切相关。根据 Peterson 和 Steligman (1993) 的说法,将逆境视为暂时性事物的人更有可能忍受它,因为他们希望这种逆境会过去。智商不能预测你的成功,但 AQ 可以。“事实证明,智商几乎无法预测健康、幸福、财富——许多成功的关键因素。这种叫做 AQ 的东西确实如此,“Paul G. Stoltz 博士在一次演讲中说。“这是你的硬性(固有的;密切相关的)对生命的反应模式。
[8] Children with high adversity quotient are not so different from adults. According to Stoltz, a person's health, happiness and wealth are factors affected by adversity quotient. As such, a high AQ is a reliable predictor of whether a person will succeed in life or not. The good news is that adversity quotient is age-irrelevant (与年龄无关的),says Stoltz. This is supported by research by Emmy Werner ( 1993), who concluded that children with high adversity quotient are those with the following traits, which are not so different from the traits of resilient adults:
[8] 逆境商数高的孩子与成人没有太大区别。根据 Stoltz 的说法,一个人的健康、幸福和财富是受逆境商数影响的因素。因此,高 AQ 是一个人是否会在生活中取得成功的可靠预测指标。好消息是逆境商数与年龄无关(与年龄无关的),Stoltz 说。这得到了 Emmy Werner (1993) 的研究的支持,他得出的结论是,逆境商数高的儿童是那些具有以下特征的儿童,这些特征与有弹性的成年人的特征没有太大区别:
have an active approach toward solving life's problems;
积极解决生活中的问题;
tend to perceive their experiences constructively;
倾向于建设性地感知他们的经历;
be able to gain others' positive attention;
能够获得他人的积极关注;

用信心来保持积极的前景。
[9] Leaders have high adversity quotient, but also have good IQ and EQ. While adversity quotient plays a major role in predicting success and staying power in organizations, good leaders also tend to have high EQ and high IQ. A good IQ standing allows a person to learn facts and processes quickly, whereas a good EQ allows a person to stay level-headed (头脑清醒的) in tense or high-stress situations. However, AQ will demonstrate its usefulness in times of great challenges to the organization. The higher a leader's AQ is, the better the chances are of his or her success in a tough situation. Leaders who get back up quickly after facing defeat or failure are some of the organization's most valuable assets.
[9] 领导者的逆境商数很高,但也具有良好的智商和情商。虽然逆境商数在预测组织的成功和持久力方面起着重要作用,但优秀的领导者也往往具有高情商和高智商。良好的智商地位可以让一个人快速了解事实和过程,而良好的情商可以让一个人在紧张或高压力的情况下保持头脑清醒。然而,AQ 将在组织面临巨大挑战时展示其有用性。领导者的 AQ 越高,他或她在艰难情况下成功的机会就越大。在面临失败或失败后迅速站起来的领导者是组织最宝贵的资产之一。

Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea. As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being. Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldn't stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.
几千年前,在距离最近的岛屿数英里的海洋中央,一座海底火山爆发了。滚烫的液体堆积得越来越高,扩散得越来越广。就这样,一座岛屿在海中升起。随着时间的推移,炎热的阳光和凉爽的雨水使岩石裂开并碎裂成碎片。海浪拍打着岩石。就这样,土壤和沙子诞生了。裸露的土地上没有任何东西。然后风和鸟儿把植物种子、蜘蛛和其他小生物带到了那里。只有植物可以先生长。只有它们在阳光下才能从土壤、水和空气中的矿物质中产生食物。虽然许多动物登陆岛上,但它们找不到食物。蜘蛛徒劳地织网,因为它的网没有昆虫可以捕捉。昆虫不能停留,直到有植物供它们食用。因此,植物必须成为这个新岛屿上的先驱生命。

The relationship between formal education and economic growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike. Progress in both area is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that is it, because building new educational systems there and putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radically higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.
贫穷国家正规教育与经济增长之间的关系被经济学家和政治家普遍误解。这两个领域的进步无疑对于这些社会和所有其他社会的社会、政治和智力发展都是必要的;然而,认为教育应该是促进贫穷国家经济快速发展的最优先任务之一的传统观点是错误的。我们很幸运,因为在那里建立新的教育系统并让足够的人通过它们来提高经济表现需要两到三代人。一家研究机构的调查结果一致表明,所有国家的工人都可以在工作中接受培训,以从根本上提高生产力,从而从根本上提高生活水平。
Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak. The US workforce was derided as poorly educated and one of the primary causes of the poor US economic performance. Japan was, and remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the US factories of Honda Nissan, and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their Japanese counterparts—a result of the training that US workers received on the job.
具有讽刺意味的是,这个想法的第一个证据出现在美国。不久前,随着该国进入衰退,日本处于泡沫前的峰值。美国劳动力被嘲笑为受教育程度低,是美国经济表现不佳的主要原因之一。日本过去是,现在仍然是汽车装配生产力的全球领导者。然而,研究显示,本田、日产和丰田的美国工厂的生产率约为日本同行的 95%,这是美国工人在工作中接受培训的结果。
More recently, while examining housing construction, the researchers discovered that illiterate, non-English-speaking Mexican workers in Houston, Texas, consistently met best-practice labor productivity standards despite the complexity of the building industry's work.
最近,在检查住房建设时,研究人员发现,尽管建筑行业的工作很复杂,但德克萨斯州休斯顿的文盲、不会说英语的墨西哥工人始终符合最佳实践的劳动生产率标准。
What is the real relationship between education and economic development? We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments don't force it. After all, that's how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000 years ago, they didn't have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other things.
教育与经济发展之间的真正关系是什么?我们不得不怀疑,即使政府不强迫,持续的经济增长也会促进教育的发展。毕竟,教育就是这样开始的。当我们的祖先在 10,000 年前还是狩猎和采集者时,除了寻找食物之外,他们没有时间去想任何事情。只有当人类开始以更高效的方式获取食物时,才有时间做其他事情。
As education improved, humanity's productivity potential increased as well. When the competitive environment pushed our ancestors to achieve that potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance. Thus poor countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal education. A lack of formal education, however, doesn't constrain the ability of the developing world's workforce to substantially improve productivity for the foreseeable future. On the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why education isn't developing more quickly there than it is.
随着教育的进步,人类的生产力潜力也随之提高。当竞争环境推动我们的祖先实现这种潜力时,他们反过来可以负担得起更多的教育。这种日益增长的教育水平可能是先进经济表现所要求的复杂政治制度的必要条件,但不是充分条件。因此,如果不进行政治变革,贫穷国家可能无法摆脱贫困陷阱,而政治变革只有通过更广泛的正规教育才有可能实现。然而,缺乏正规教育并不能限制发展中国家劳动力在可预见的未来大幅提高生产力的能力。相反,对提高生产率的限制解释了为什么那里的教育发展速度没有比现在更快。

The Basic Job Hunting Tips
基本的求职技巧
Update your CV—Does CV format matter? Sure it does—but only for visualization. You don't want your CV to be cluttered. Keep it simple and O. The most important thing in CV writing is to showcase your skills and experience. Mine is a 3-page CV B only my skills, experience and achievements. I have excluded sections such as career F, which I personally think don't count and merely take up CV space. Use the limited space to present G information. Also, be sure to use keywords that M look for. For auditors, examples would be IFRS, consolidation, COSO, internal controls, data analytics, project management, etc. You may also want to prepare a cover letter as it is sometimes required.
Create a job profile—I wasted no time in creating my candidate profile on several job portals like Seek, Indeed, Careerone, Jorah, Jobactive, RobertHalf, Hays, Charterhouse, etc. But to be I, out of all of these job sites, I found Seek, Indeed and Jorah to be the most useful. I spent 2 to 3 hours every day L through these websites and sending my applications out.
Email the recruiter directly—Most of the time, the job posts A the contact information of the recruiter (name, email, contact number). As a second step, I directly sent emails to the recruiters with my CV D.
LinkedIn helps, too—I also upgraded to LinkedIn Premium account and sent Inmails directly to recruiters. You can only send up to 5 Inmails per month, so I sent messages related to the jobs I really liked and where I felt I had the greatest chance of being interviewed. I have to mention at this point that I E my job through LinkedIn.

China: New Leadership, New Approaches
中国:新领导力,新方法
[1] What are the governing ideas of China's new leadership? In which direction is China heading? Will China continue its reform and opening-up policy? What is the basis of China's foreign policy?
[1] 中国新领导层的执政理念是什么?中国将朝着哪个方向发展?中国会继续改革开放吗?中国外交政策的基础是什么?
[2] Answers can be found in the new book
[2] 答案可以在新书中找到The Governance of China
中国治理 by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of China. The book contains his speeches, together with photos about his work and personal life. The book sheds light on the approach of the new leadership to the governance of China.
作者:习近平,中国共产党总书记、中国国家主席。这本书包含了他的演讲,以及有关他的工作和个人生活的照片。这本书阐明了新领导层对中国治理的态度。
Consensus with the Chinese Dream
与中国梦达成共识
[3] Due to profound changes in the country's economic and social life and the evolution in the public mindset, people from different regions, social strata (阶层),and fields of endeavor (努力) naturally do not think alike. Discord (<想法等的>不一致) could undermine development, and therefore the consensus is a pressing need.
[3] 由于国家经济和社会生活的深刻变化以及公众心态的演变,来自不同地区、社会阶层(阶层)和努力领域的人们自然不会有相同的想法。Discord(<想法等的> 不一致)可能会破坏开发,因此共识是一个紧迫的需求。
[4] To find consensus, the most important is to identify the common goal. Since the 1840s, the Chinese people have successively striven towards and made sacrifices for one goal—the rejuvenation (复兴) of the Chinese nation. This dream resonates in every Chinese heart and becomes the common aspiration (抱负) of all the Chinese in and outside the country.
[4] 要找到共识,最重要的是确定共同目标。自 1840 年代以来,中国人民先后为同一个目标而奋斗和牺牲,即中华民族的复兴。这个梦想在每个中国人的心中产生共鸣,成为国内外全体中国人的共同愿望。
[5] The Chinese Dream, says Xi Jinping, in essence means prosperity for the country, rejuvenation of the nation, and happiness for the people. It is the dream of the country, of the nation, and of every Chinese, because it brings together the interests of the nation and of individual citizens.
[5]习近平说,中国梦本质上意味着国家的繁荣、民族的复兴和人民的幸福。这是国家、民族和每个中国人的梦想,因为它汇集了国家和公民个人的利益。
The Chinese road with confidence
自信的中国之路
[6] Chinese President Xi Jinping has a famous saying that "only the wearer of the shoes knows if they fit, and only the people can best tell if the development path they have chosen for their country suits". He believes that unique cultural traditions, historical experience, and national conditions determine that the Chinese must take a development path that suits their own characteristics.
[6] 中国国家主席习近平有一句名言:“只有鞋子的穿着者知道鞋子是否合脚,只有人民才能最好地判断他们为国家选择的发展道路是否适合”。他认为,独特的文化传统、历史经验和国情决定了中国人必须走一条适合自身特点的发展道路。
Reform is a bridge to our dreams
改革是通往梦想的桥梁
[7] The book presents Xi Jinping's overall vision of reform, and the particularities of how reform will impact on China's economy, politics, culture, society, ecology and national defense. China finds itself confronted by a series of conflicts and challenges, such as unbalanced and unsustainable development, drawbacks in scientific and technological innovation, and gaps between rural and urban development and income. If these problems are not solved, China's development will be hampered, and the Chinese Dream will remain elusive.
[7] 本书介绍了习近平对改革的总体愿景,以及改革将如何影响中国经济、政治、文化、社会、生态和国防的特殊性。中国面临着一系列冲突和挑战,例如发展不平衡和不可持续、科技创新存在弊端以及城乡发展和收入差距。如果这些问题得不到解决,中国的发展就会受到阻碍,中国梦就遥不可及。
[8] Xi Jinping makes the point that deeper reform and opening-up is the only way to solve development problems. "Reform and opening-up is always ongoing and will never end."
[8] 习近平指出,深化改革开放是解决发展问题的唯一途径。“改革开放永远在进行,永远不会结束。”
Changing work conducts and combating corruption
改变工作行为和打击腐败
[9] The new central leadership, committed to a policy of zero-tolerance with regard to corruption, is firm in its determination to catch "tigers" and "flies" -high-ranking officials guilty of corruption as well as petty (小的) ones. Dozens of corrupt officials at ministerial (部级的) level or above have already fallen from power, and serious cases are under investigation. Clearly committed to combating corruption with "combined blows", Xi Jinping has also vowed to have "power being 'caged' by the system," stressing the construction of a system to restrict the exercise of power and subject it to public scrutiny.
[9]新的中央领导层致力于对腐败采取零容忍政策,决心抓住“老虎”和“苍蝇”——犯有腐败罪的高级官员和小(小的)官员。数十名部级以上腐败官员已经下台,严重案件正在调查中。习近平明确致力于以“联合打击”的方式打击腐败,还誓言要“让权力被体制'囚禁'”,强调构建一个限制权力行使并接受公众监督的制度。
Responsible, pragmatic and credible party and government
负责任、务实、有公信力的党政
[10] "I will govern by serving the people and fulfilling the responsibilities imposed on me." Xi Jinping believes that to be responsible means to adhere to principles with a sense of responsibility and to have the courage to take resolute action when confronted by major issues of principle, to tackle difficulties head-on and never to shy away from conflict, to face all kinds of crises, to admit one's part in mistakes, and to resolutely fight against misconduct.
[10]“我将通过为人民服务和履行赋予我的责任来治理国家。”习近平认为,负责任就是以责任心坚守原则,在重大原则问题面前勇于果断行动,迎难而上,绝不避讳冲突,面对各种危机,承认自己的错误, 坚决打击不当行为。
[11] Xi Jinping stresses that officials should have a sound understanding of political achievements and be realistic and far sighted, laying solid foundations rather than seeking quick wins.
[11] 习近平强调,官员要对政治成就有深刻的理解,要实事求是、有远见,要打好基础,不能急功近利。
Stable progress with faith and determination
以信念和决心稳步前进
[12] "Faith and determination" also feature among Xi Jinping's favorite terms. In this book, he applies the terms mainly to political faith and strategic determination. Political faith refers to firm beliefs, and strategic determination has various forms of expression. The new central leadership has maintained stable economic growth, keeping employment above a bottom line and inflation below an upper ceiling.
[12]“信仰和决心”也是习近平最喜欢的词。在这本书中,他主要将这些术语应用于政治信仰和战略决策。政治信仰是指坚定的信念,战略决策有多种表现形式。新一届中央领导班子保持了稳定的经济增长,将就业保持在底线以上,将通货膨胀保持在上限以下。
A community of common destiny and win-win relationships
命运共同体,共赢共赢
[13] Many articles of the book address Xi Jinping's ideas on diplomacy and international relations. He has stressed on a number of occasions that we live in a global village, and should be conscious of our common destiny. He thinks that zero-sum thinking (零和思维) is outdated, and that we must blaze a new trail of win-win cooperation.
[13]该书的许多文章都讨论了习近平关于外交和国际关系的思想。他多次强调,我们生活在一个地球村,应该意识到我们共同的命运。他认为零和思维已经过时了,我们必须开辟合作共赢的新路子。
[14] Speaking of China's relations with other countries, Xi Jinping highlights these principles through four words; friendship, sincerity, reciprocity (互惠) and inclusiveness—the path of China's peaceful development.
[14] 谈到中国与其他国家的关系,习近平通过四个词强调了这些原则;友好、真诚、互惠、包容——中国和平发展之路。
[15] The new central leadership has been creative in developing new diplomatic ideas, and in response it has won the approval of the international community. The book presents a wide range of novel ideas and strategies which merit careful study. In it, you are likely to find many valuable clues to China's future.
[15]新的中央领导层在发展新的外交理念方面具有创造性,作为回应,它赢得了国际社会的认可。这本书提出了广泛的新奇想法和策略,值得仔细研究。在其中,您可能会找到许多关于中国未来的宝贵线索。

The houses we live in are very important. They keep us from being cold in the winter and hot in the summer. In the winter they keep out the snow. They also keep out the wind. Even if it is blowing outside, we are nice and warm inside. In the summer houses keep the hot sun from us. When it rains, they keep us from getting wet.
Houses are also places where we can feel safe. People can't get at us or our things. Houses give us a place to be together with our families and friends. Mothers and fathers care for their children there. The children play there. The family eat and sleep under the same roof.
Houses are different in many ways. They are made of different things. Some houses are made of wood. Some are made of stone. Sometimes more than one thing is used to make a house.
Houses come in different sizes. Some houses have only one room. Some houses have more than one room. Big apartment houses found in cities have a great many rooms. They hold many families. The rooms in which each family lives are called an apartment.
Houses are different in the ways they are built. Houses in hot countries can be lightly built. In places where it rains much of the time, houses must keep the water.
我们住的房子非常重要。它们让我们在冬天不冷,在夏天不热。在冬天,他们把雪挡在外面。它们还可以挡风。即使外面吹着风,我们里面也很友好和温暖。在夏季,房屋会让我们免受烈日的照射。下雨时,它们可以防止我们被淋湿。 房屋也是我们感到安全的地方。人们无法接近我们或我们的东西。房屋为我们提供了一个与家人和朋友在一起的地方。父母在那里照顾他们的孩子。孩子们在那里玩耍。一家人在同一个屋檐下吃饭和睡觉。 房屋在很多方面都不同。它们由不同的东西组成。有些房子是用木头建造的。有些是石头做的。有时,建造房屋会使用不止一样东西。 房屋大小不同。有些房子只有一个房间。有些房子有不止一个房间。城市中的大型公寓房有很多房间。他们拥有许多家庭。每个家庭居住的房间称为公寓。 房屋的建造方式不同。炎热国家的房屋可以轻而易举地建造。在大部分时间下雨的地方,房屋必须保持水。

Playing violent video games can have immediate and lasting effects on a person’s thoughts and behavior, a new research shows. In fact, researchers report that the interactive and increasingly descriptive nature of some video games makes them “potentially more dangerous” than violence-charged television and movies.
一项新的研究表明,玩暴力电子游戏会对一个人的思想和行为产生直接而持久的影响。事实上,研究人员报告说,一些视频游戏的互动性和日益增长的描述性使它们比充满暴力的电视和电影“可能更危险”。
Psychologists Anderson and Dill conducted two studies. In one study of 227 college students, the investigators found that students who more frequently played violent video games during junior high and high school were more likely to have engaged in “aggressive behavior”. A second study in which 210 college students played either a violent or non-violent video game revealed that the violence-packed game increased subjects’ aggression immediately afterward.
心理学家 Anderson 和 Dill 进行了两项研究。在一项针对 227 名大学生的研究中,研究人员发现,在初中和高中期间更频繁地玩暴力电子游戏的学生更有可能从事“攻击性行为”。第二项研究对 210 名大学生玩暴力或非暴力电子游戏进行了研究,结果显示,这种充满暴力的游戏随后立即增加了受试者的攻击性。
In the first study, the investigators questioned students on their natural levels of aggression and irritability (易怒性), and their delinquent (犯法的) behavior – for instance, whether they had hit other students in the past year. The investigators found that students with aggressive personalities and those who more often played violent video games were more likely to show real-life aggression. Students who considered themselves aggressive were also more likely to play violent video games. Since aggressive people may seek out violent games, coming to the conclusion that the video games caused real-life delinquency is too risky.
在第一项研究中,研究人员询问了学生的自然攻击性和易怒性水平,以及他们的犯法行为——例如,他们在过去一年中是否打过其他学生。研究人员发现,具有攻击性性格的学生和更经常玩暴力电子游戏的学生更有可能表现出现实生活中的攻击性。认为自己具有攻击性的学生也更有可能玩暴力电子游戏。由于好斗的人可能会寻找暴力游戏,因此得出电子游戏导致现实生活中犯罪的结论风险太大。
However, the second study linked video-game violence with immediate increases in aggression. Anderson and Dill had students play either a violent game or a non-violent game, and let the students believe they were playing against an opponent in another room. After completing the video game, participants played a competitive-reaction game with their imaginary opponents (对手); in this game the winner was allowed to punish the loser with loud sounds. The researchers found that students who were fresh from the violent video game gave their opponents loud sounds longer than those who played the non-violent game.
然而,第二项研究将电子游戏暴力与攻击性的立即增加联系起来。Anderson 和 Dill 让学生玩暴力游戏或非暴力游戏,并让学生相信他们正在与另一个房间的对手对战。完成电子游戏后,参与者与他们想象中的对手(对手)进行了竞争反应游戏;在这个游戏中,赢家可以用响亮的声音惩罚输家。研究人员发现,刚从暴力电子游戏中出来的学生比玩非暴力游戏的学生给对手发出响亮声音的时间更长。
Because video games show short-term and long-term effects, Anderson and Dill suppose that video-game violence influences behavior not by arousing aggressive feelings, but by teaching players to find “aggressive solutions” to problems. Unlike TV, many video games demand that players identify with the aggressor and actively participate in violence.
由于电子游戏具有短期和长期影响,因此 Anderson 和 Dill 假设电子游戏暴力不是通过唤起攻击性情绪来影响行为,而是通过教玩家找到解决问题的“激进解决方案”。与电视不同,许多电子游戏要求玩家认同攻击者并积极参与暴力。

What Is Innovation and How Can Businesses Foster It?
什么是创新,企业如何促进创新?
[1] John Bessant, professor and author, explains why innovation is often confused with ideation (构思过程), and why learning from failure is so crucial to business success.
[1] 教授兼作家 John Bessant 解释了为什么创新经常与构思过程相混淆,以及为什么从失败中学习对企业成功如此重要。
How would you define innovation?
您如何定义创新?
[2] Innovation means creating value from ideas. While a lot of interest is in commercial value, a lot can be done with social value. For the Red Cross, creating social value is a case of life and death, and while it's not creating lots of money, it's creating real value from ideas such as simple low-cost hygiene (卫生清洁)products to avoid sanitation-linked(环境卫生相关的)infection. There should be no limits as to where innovation comes from. It can come from our own teams, what competitors are doing, and the market. Today, it's all about what users want and need, so it's up to businesses to make sure that they have a good set of antennae (E) to pick up on these trends.
[2] 创新意味着从想法中创造价值。虽然很多人都对商业价值感兴趣,但社会价值可以做很多事情。对于红十字会来说,创造社会价值是生死攸关的问题,虽然它不会创造大量资金,但它通过简单的低成本卫生(卫生清洁)产品等想法创造了真正的价值,以避免与卫生相关的(环境卫生相关的)感染。创新的来源不应该有限制。它可能来自我们自己的团队、竞争对手在做什么以及市场。今天,一切都与用户想要和需要什么有关,因此企业需要确保他们有一套好的天线 (E) 来捕捉这些趋势。
How do people commonly misdefine it?
人们通常如何错误地定义它?
[3] People conflate (混淆) ideation with innovation. If I have a great idea for a heart valve, I will need a long time to refine the idea, take on board other people's input and knowledge to develop it, and require users to test it. It's a long journey to create potential value from an idea.
[3] 人们将构思与创新混为一谈。如果我有一个关于心脏瓣膜的好主意,我将需要很长时间来完善这个想法,吸收其他人的意见和知识来开发它,并要求用户对其进行测试。从想法中创造潜在价值是一段漫长的旅程。
What ingredients are required for business innovation?
业务创新需要哪些要素?
[4] You need a roadmap for the journey to creating value, and a strategy that lays out where and how innovation is going to help your organization get to where it needs to be. Businesses then need to create an atmosphere where creativity is welcomed by making people feel like they can deliver an idea and that it's safe to share their own and link up with others.
[4] 您需要一个创造价值之旅的路线图,以及一个战略,阐明创新将在何处以及如何帮助您的组织达到需要的位置。然后,企业需要创造一种氛围,让人们觉得他们可以提出一个想法,并且可以安全地分享自己的想法并与他人建立联系,从而欢迎创造力。
[5] It's also crucial to collaborate. The need to build links has always been there, but today it's called "open innovation" — which means networking with people inside and outside of the organization.
[5] 合作也很重要。建立联系的需求一直存在,但今天它被称为“开放式创新”——这意味着与组织内外的人建立联系。
[6] Lastly, you need to give yourself time to reflect and improve your approach. The characteristic of companies such as Three mobile or Philips, which has been around for more than 100 years, is the need to adapt their innovation approach.
[6] 最后,您需要给自己时间来反思和改进您的方法。Three mobile 或 Philips 等公司已经存在了 100 多年,其特点是需要调整其创新方法。
What challenges might a larger company face when it comes to innovating?
大公司在创新方面可能面临哪些挑战?
[7] Any firm begins as a start-up with one idea - and while it's hard, it can make that happen. However, when you start to grow and have to balance multiple ideas, you need a portfolio of innovation. That means having some ideas that are long shots and some that are fairly safe.
[7] 任何公司都是从一个想法开始的初创公司——虽然这很困难,但它可以实现它。但是,当您开始发展并且必须平衡多种想法时,您需要一个创新组合。这意味着要有一些可能性很长的想法,也有一些相当安全的想法。
[8] Very often, organizations get stuck at playing safe, so their form of innovation becomes doing what they do better, and it becomes more incremental (逐渐增加的) as the organization tries to manage risks and maintain stability. But to survive, you need to stretch out and explore; balancing between the safe bets and long shots is a tension that many organizations need.
[8] 很多时候,组织会陷入安全游戏的困境,因此他们的创新形式变成了做他们做得更好的事情,并且随着组织试图管理风险和保持稳定,它变得更加渐进(逐渐增加的)。但要生存,你需要伸展身体并探索;在安全赌注和冷门之间取得平衡是许多组织需要的紧张关系。
Can you measure innovation?
您能衡量创新吗?
[9] You can measure what you put in, such as the money or the time that you give employees to work on the idea. You can do the same with things that come out, such as how many new products have been released in the past few years, as a proportion of the products that your organization offers. Or you can count the number and type of suggestions for innovation made by employees. It's also important to measure the process of how well a business is managing innovation, rather like going to the gym and running through how strong you are in different muscle groups.
[9] 您可以衡量您投入的金额,例如您给员工实现这个想法的金钱或时间。您可以对出现的内容执行相同的作,例如过去几年发布了多少新产品,占组织提供的产品的比例。或者您可以计算员工提出的创新建议的数量和类型。衡量企业管理创新的过程也很重要,就像去健身房了解不同肌肉群的强度一样。
What common mistakes do businesses make when it comes to innovation?
企业在创新方面常犯哪些错误?
[10] The most common is putting everything into an idea and never getting actual innovation. Businesses need to have some kind of process for translating those ideas into something that creates value. They also fall prey to becoming insular(孤立的;保守的)by not exploring all the possible spaces open for innovation. They will only focus on improving their products, for example, when they could also be innovating their processes at the same time.
[10] 最常见的是把所有东西都放在一个想法中,却从来没有得到真正的创新。企业需要有某种流程将这些想法转化为创造价值的东西。他们也成为变得孤立的牺牲品(孤立的;保守的)不探索所有可能的创新空间。他们只会专注于改进他们的产品,例如,当他们也可以同时创新他们的流程时。
Can you teach people to be innovative?
你能教人们创新吗?
[11] Yes. It's not just about technology, or asking the market what it wants, because they don't always know. Sometimes, as was the case with the iPhone, you have to lead the market. A popular idea at the moment is business model innovation, where companies are changing their identity from being a supplier to a creator of a specific service. Airbnb doesn't own a single hotel, but is the world's largest accommodation provider with its business model based on a platform enabling people to share their own spaces.
[11] 是的。这不仅仅是关于技术,或者询问市场想要什么,因为他们并不总是知道。有时,就像 iPhone 一样,您必须引领市场。目前一个流行的想法是商业模式创新,公司正在将其身份从供应商转变为特定服务的创建者。Airbnb 没有一家酒店,但它是全球最大的住宿提供商,其商业模式基于一个平台,使人们能够分享自己的空间。
[12] Consultants and lecturers can teach what to do but, in the end, mastering the technique and approach is up to individual businesses and people. They need the ability to manage innovations by being willing to admit that something didn't work in the past and seeing how it can work better in the future.
[12] 顾问和讲师可以教他们该做什么,但最终,掌握技术和方法取决于各个企业和人员。他们需要通过愿意承认某些事情在过去不起作用并看到它在未来如何更好地发挥作用来管理创新。

A computer is a machine with a complex network of electronic circuits (电路) that operate switches. The switches are capable of being in one of two possible states, that is, on or off. The machine is capable of storing and dealing with numbers, letters, and characters. The basic idea of a computer is that we can make the machine do what we want simply by inputting signals that turn certain switches on and turn others off.
计算机是一台具有复杂电子电路 (电路) 网络的机器,用于作开关。开关能够处于两种可能的状态之一,即 on 或 off。该机器能够存储和处理数字、字母和字符。计算机的基本思想是,我们只需输入打开某些开关和关闭其他开关的信号,就可以让机器做我们想做的事。
Computers are thought to have many remarkable powers. However, most computers, whether large or small, have three basic capabilities. First, computers have circuits for performing arithmetic operations, such as: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication and exponentiation. Second, computers have a means of communicating with the user. After all, if we couldn't feed information in and get results back, these machines wouldn't be of much use. However, certain computers (commonly minicomputers and microcomputers) are used to control directly things such as robots (机器人), medical instruments, etc.
计算机被认为具有许多非凡的能力。但是,大多数计算机,无论大小,都具有三种基本功能。首先,计算机具有执行算术运算的电路,例如:加法、减法、除法、乘法和幂运算。其次,计算机有一种与用户通信的方式。毕竟,如果我们不能提供信息并返回结果,这些机器就不会有太大用处。但是,某些计算机(通常是微型计算机和微型计算机)用于直接控制机器人(机器人)、医疗器械等事物。
Some of the most common methods of inputting information are to use magnetic tape, disks, and terminals. The computer's input device reads the information into the computer.
一些最常见的信息输入方法是使用磁带、磁盘和终端。计算机的输入设备将信息读入计算机。
For outputting information, two common devices used are a printer which prints the new information on paper, or a CRT display screen which shows the results on a TV-like screen.
为了输出信息,常用使用两种设备,一种是将新信息打印在纸上的打印机,另一种是将结果显示在类似电视的屏幕上的 CRT 显示屏。
Third, computers have circuits which can make decisions. The kinds of decisions which computer circuits can make are not of the type: "Who would win a war between two countries?" or "Who is the richest person in the world?" Unfortunately, the computer can only decide three things, namely: Is one number less than another? Are two numbers equal? And is one number greater than another?
第三,计算机具有可以做出决策的电路。计算机电路可以做出的决策类型不是:“谁会赢得两个国家之间的战争”或“谁是世界上最富有的人”的类型。不幸的是,计算机只能决定三件事,即:一个数字是否比另一个数字少?两个数字相等吗?一个数字比另一个数字大吗?

My Neighbor has a gun. In fact, not having the good fortune to live in the last house on a dead-end street, I am surrounded by neighbors with guns. My situation is hardly novel, since most American households own at least one weapon. We now have enough privately owned guns to arm nearly every man, woman and child in the country. And some of those children are not just imaginary gun users, as recent statistics indicate.
我的邻居有枪。事实上,我没有幸住在一条死胡同的最后一栋房子里,周围都是拿着枪的邻居。我的情况并不是什么新鲜事,因为大多数美国家庭至少拥有一把武器。我们现在有足够的私人枪支来武装这个国家几乎所有的男人、女人和儿童。正如最近的统计数据所表明的那样,其中一些孩子不仅仅是想象中的枪支使用者。
My neighbors’ guns make me nervous; I’m afraid that they might go off at the wrong time, pointed in the wrong direction. I’ve asked why such dangerous items are allowed to clutter up the house. I’ve gotten several answers, from constitutional rights to the innocent sport of blasting birds out of the skies. I’d like to focus on just one of these reasons.
邻居的枪让我紧张;我担心他们可能会在错误的时间出发,指向错误的方向。我问过为什么允许这种危险的物品把房子弄得乱七八糟。我得到了几个答案,从宪法权利到将鸟儿从天空中轰出的无辜运动。我想只关注其中一个原因。
My neighbor tells me that curling up at night with his gun nearby makes him feel safer. Safer from what? A madman out to better the going entry in the “Guinness Book of World Records” for bloody brutality? My neighbor faces far less danger from the mentally ill killer, who fortunately is extremely rare, than he does from my other neighbor who also has a gun. Contrary to the public myth, mental patients have crime rates far below those of my neighbor or me; for all categories of crime and for homicide in particular. One of the few safe places left to live in this gun-packing country is on the grounds of your local mental hospital, where the residents are far less aggressive than my neighbor and guns are checked in at the gate.
我的邻居告诉我,晚上蜷缩起来,把枪放在身边会让他感觉更安全。什么更安全?一个疯子,为了在“吉尼斯世界纪录大全”中因血腥残忍而变得更好?我的邻居面临的危险要小得多,幸运的是,这个精神病杀手极为罕见,比起我另一个同样有枪的邻居。与公众的神话相反,精神病患者的犯罪率远低于我或我的邻居;针对所有类别的犯罪,特别是凶杀。在这个枪支泛滥的国家,为数不多的安全居住地之一是你当地的精神病院,那里的居民远没有我的邻居那么激进,枪支在门口登记。
Safer from some intruder (侵入者) in the night seeking to deprive his wife of her virtue or him of his new color television? According to best available estimates, my neighbor’s odds of doing himself in accidentally with his own gun are about five times higher than his odds of being done in by some intruder. As a gun owner, my neighbor would be better advised to invest his money in locks and a loud dog. Actually, the intruder in the night accounts for fewer than three percent of our gun deaths. The bulk comes from perfectly law-abiding (守法的) but gun-toting (持枪的) people like my neighbors, who kill each other, themselves, or me.
在夜间躲避一些侵入者(侵入者)试图剥夺他妻子的美德或他的新彩色电视机是否更安全?根据现有的最佳估计,我邻居用自己的枪意外杀死自己的几率大约是他被入侵者杀死的几率的五倍。作为一个枪支拥有者,最好建议我的邻居把他的钱投资在锁和一只吵闹的狗上。实际上,夜间的入侵者只占我们枪击死亡人数的不到 3%。大部分来自完全守法但持枪(持枪的)人,比如我的邻居,他们互相残杀,自相残杀,或互相残杀我。

Urban-rural integration is a new stage in China’s development toward modernization and urbanization. It aims to eliminate the urban-rural dual economic structure through integrated planning for urban and rural development, and through institutional reform and policy adjustment, so that the urban and rural areas will achieve policy equality and complement each other in the mode of industrial development, enabling rural residents to enjoy the same civilization and welfare as urban residents. Only by greatly promoting urban-rural integration can the whole urban and rural economy of our country develop comprehensively and sustainably.
答案: 城乡融合是中国现代化和城镇化发展的新阶段。旨在通过城乡发展一体化规划、体制改革和政策调整,消除城乡二元经济结构,使城乡在产业发展模式中实现政策对等、优势互补,使农村居民享受与城市居民相同的文明和福利。只有大力推进城乡一体化,我国整个城乡经济才能全面、可持续地发展。

What Is Adversity Quotient?
什么是逆境商数?
Most of us have heard of emotional quotient (EQ) and intelligence quotient ( IQ) but very few people have heard or known of adversity quotient (AQ). According to Stolz (1997) adversity quotient is the most widely used way of measuring and strengthening human
我们大多数人都听说过情商 (EQ) 和智商 (IQ),但很少有人听说过或知道逆境商数 (AQ)。根据 Stolz (1997) 的说法,逆境商数是衡量和增强人类的最广泛使用的方法J. AQ is rooted in three sciences; cognitive psychology, psychoneuroimmunology, and neurophysiology. Stolz ( 1997 ) further suggested that AQ is about how one
.AQ 植根于三门科学;认知心理学、心理神经免疫学和神经生理学。Stolz ( 1997 ) 进一步提出 AQ 是关于一个人如何E to life especially the tough times many people
对生活,尤其是艰难时期,许多人H every day. AQ is a gauge to measure how you respond to and deal with challenges and adversities that many times catch us totally off

Virtual Currency and Cryptocurrency
虚拟货币和加密货币
Virtual currencies(虚拟货币) and cryptocurrencies (加密数字货币), newly emerging currencies in the past decade, have attracted the interests of many people, especially young people. We should be aware that these currencies are not issued by governments but rather by individuals and organizations, where cybercrime is frequently involved. So people should be cautious in using these currencies for investment.
[1] Virtual currencies are a relatively new way to transfer value, and are frequently used in connection with cybercrime. Cryptocurrencies are a type of virtual currency, with Bitcoin (比特币) being the most popular. Virtual currencies are not issued by governments but rather by individuals and organizations that decide to create their own payment systems. So long as people believe a virtual currency has value and are willing to accept it or exchange it, then it has value.
[2] The first step in using virtual currency is to create an account within that particular virtual currency platform. Once a user has an account, there are two ways to get units of the currency into it. A user can be paid virtual currency by someone else, or a user can go to a virtual currency exchanger and exchange regular money for units of the virtual currency. Virtual currency exchanges are often independent dealers or businesses that charge a fee for exchanging virtual currencies and fiat (许可) currencies.
[3] Virtual currency has a number of general characteristics that make it appealing for cybercrime and identity theft.
虚拟货币 (Virtual currency) 和加密货币 (crypt digital 货币 ) 是过去十年中新兴的货币 ,吸引了许多人的兴趣,尤其是年轻人。我们应该意识到 ,这些货币不是由政府发行的,而是由经常涉及网络犯罪的个人和组织发行的。因此,人们在使用这些货币进行投资时应谨慎。[1] 虚拟货币是一种相对较新的价值转移方式,经常用于与网络犯罪有关。加密货币是一种虚拟货币,其中比特币 (BTC) 最受欢迎。虚拟货币不是由政府发行的,而是由决定创建自己的支付系统的个人和组织发行的。只要人们相信虚拟货币有价值并愿意接受或兑换它,那么它就有价值。[2] 使用虚拟货币的第一步是在该特定虚拟货币平台中创建一个账户。用户拥有账户后,有两种方法可以将货币单位存入账户。用户可以由其他人支付虚拟货币,或者用户可以前往虚拟货币兑换处将普通货币兑换成虚拟货币单位。虚拟货币交易所通常是独立交易商或企业,他们对虚拟货币和法定(许可)货币的兑换收取费用。[3] 虚拟货币具有许多一般特征,使其对网络犯罪和身份盗窃具有吸引力。
Internet-based. Since cybercrimes are committed or facilitated through the Internet, being able to make payments through the Internet is also essential.
基于 Internet。 由于网络犯罪是通过 Internet 实施或促进的,因此能够通过 Internet 进行支付也是必不可少的。
Anonymous. Cybercrime participants need to send and receive payments anonymously, and will take advantage of any opportunities to do so with virtual currency.
匿名 。网络犯罪参与者需要匿名发送和接收付款,并将利用任何机会使用虚拟货币进行付款。
Instant. With virtual currencies, online payments can be made and verified instantly, or at least faster than most conventional transactions. This feature provides assurance to cybercriminals doing online deals with anonymous criminal associates.
即时 。使用虚拟货币,可以立即进行和验证在线支付,或者至少比大多数传统交易更快。此功能为与匿名犯罪同伙进行在线交易的网络犯罪分子提供了保证。
Irreversible. Virtual currency payments are final once sent, another important quality for payments among anonymous criminals. A criminal cannot trick his counterpart by making a payment, and then trying to take the payment back.
不可逆。 虚拟货币付款一旦发送即为最终付款,这是匿名罪犯付款 的另一个重要品质。罪犯不能通过付款然后 试图收回付款来欺骗他的对手。
[4] Virtual currency is used by cybercriminals in a number of ways, such as:
[4] 网络犯罪分子以多种方式使用虚拟货币,例如:
Payment among participants in the cybercrime and identity theft economy. Virtual currency allows participants to offer criminal services and goods in a capitalistic environment. Since virtual currency transactions can be conducted anonymously, cybercriminals can transact with one another without identifying themselves.
网络犯罪和身份盗窃经济参与者之间的付款。虚拟货币允许参与者在资本主义环境中提供犯罪服务和商品。由于虚拟货币交易可以匿名进行,因此网络犯罪分子可以在不表明身份的情况下相互交易。
Ransomware (勒索软件) and other extortion (勒索). Criminals looking to extort victims using ransomware, denial of service attacks, and other cybercrimes can demand payment through virtual currency.
Ransomware (勒索软件) 和其他勒索 (勒索)。希望使用勒索软件、拒绝服务攻击和其他网络犯罪勒索受害者的犯罪分子可以要求通过虚拟货币付款。
Money laundering. Suppose an identity thief wants to obtain virtual currency in order to buy some stolen credit card data. He might send traditional money to a virtual currency exchanger, tell the exchanger what account to fund, and then have the virtual currency units added to his account. He then can purchase the stolen data without identifying himself to the data seller (or vice versa), and in a manner difficult for law enforcement to trace back to him.
洗钱。假设一个身份窃贼想要获取虚拟货币以购买一些被盗的信用卡数据。他可能会将传统货币发送到虚拟货币交易所,告诉交易所要为哪个账户注资,然后将虚拟货币单位添加到他的账户中。然后,他可以在不向数据销售者表明身份的情况下(反之亦然)购买被盗数据,并且执法部门很难追溯到他。
[5] Organizations seeking to avoid certain regulations or seeking to collect public interest or investment may name and describe their products to suit their own interests, rather than follow evolving norms. For example, a group hoping to avoid a particular law or regulation might describe their offering as something other than a virtual currency or a virtual asset. Alternatively, a company might describe its product as a "cryptocurrency" to encourage investment interest when it really is not.
[5] 寻求规避某些法规或寻求收集公共利益或投资的组织可能会命名和描述其产品以满足自己的利益,而不是遵循不断发展的规范。例如,希望规避特定法律或法规的团体可能会将其产品描述为虚拟货币或虚拟资产以外的其他产品。或者,一家公司可能会将其产品描述为“加密货币”以鼓励投资兴趣,但实际上并非如此。
[6] Such early virtual currencies as Egold, Liberty Reserve and Webmoney were "centralized", meaning the transactions were administered by a central entity. From a law enforcement and regulatory perspective, a centralized entity can be subpoenaed (传唤), arrested, and held to account for criminal activities. Using these methods, the US government eventually shut down both Egold and Liberty Reserve for enabling money laundering.
[6]Egold、Liberty Reserve 和 Webmoney 等早期虚拟货币是“中心化”的,这意味着交易由一个中央实体管理。从执法和监管的角度来看,中心化实体可以被传唤 (传唤)、逮捕和追究犯罪活动的责任。使用这些方法,美国政府最终关闭了 Egold 和 Liberty Reserve,因为它们允许洗钱。
[7] Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency, went live in 2009 and has become the most popular virtual currency to date. Bitcoin is also the first "decentralized" virtual currency, functioning through blockchain technology and the concept of the decentralized ledger. Unlike prior virtual currencies, no one is "in charge" of running Bitcoin. Rather, the currency is managed through open-source software that handles the payment transactions and stores the records. A subset of Bitcoin users operates this software, confirming Bitcoin transactions and storing transaction records on the "distributed ledger". This ledger consists of "blocks" of transaction records, which are "chained" together, hence the term blockchain. For law enforcement and regulators, this decentralization means there is no one at the virtual currency itself to hold accountable if it is used criminally. Instead, investigators need to look to the individuals and exchangers who use Bitcoin or other decentralized cryptocurrencies.
[7]比特币是第一种加密货币,于 2009 年上线,已成为迄今为止最受欢迎的虚拟货币。比特币也是第一个“去中心化”的虚拟货币,通过区块链技术和去中心化账本的概念来运作。与之前的虚拟货币不同,没有人“负责”运行比特币。相反,货币是通过处理支付交易并存储记录的开源软件来管理的。一部分比特币用户作该软件,确认比特币交易并将交易记录存储在“分布式账本”上。该分类账由交易记录的“块”组成,这些记录被“链接”在一起,因此称为区块链。对于执法部门和监管机构来说,这种去中心化意味着如果虚拟货币被用于刑事使用,则没有人可以追究其责任。相反,调查人员需要关注使用比特币或其他去中心化加密货币的个人和交易所。
[8] The pros and cons of virtual currency are frequent topics in the media, so it is worth taking a moment to put virtual currency in perspective. Some argue that virtual currency is a bad invention, largely unregulated, that allows anonymous accounts and payments mostly useful only for criminals. Others argue these virtual currencies are the answer to an overly regulated, monopolistic (垄断的) and stodgy (古板的) financial system. Perhaps the truth is somewhere in between. Clearly, financial regulation has many benefits, including consumer protection and the prevention and detection of money laundering—and the absence of such regulation has risks.
[8] 虚拟货币的优缺点是媒体上经常出现的话题,因此值得花点时间正确看待虚拟货币。一些人认为,虚拟货币是一项糟糕的发明,在很大程度上不受监管,它允许匿名账户和支付大多只对犯罪分子有用。其他人则认为,这些虚拟货币是应对过度监管、垄断 (垄断的) 和古板 (古板的) 金融体系的答案。也许真相介于两者之间。显然,金融监管有很多好处,包括消费者保护以及预防和检测洗钱,而缺乏此类监管则存在风险。
[9] Government regulation of virtual currency has come to the United States but is still evolving. But even with regulation, criminals have shown throughout time that they will exploit any form of value storage or value transfer. Whether cash, bank wire, virtual currency, diamonds, gold, or even the currency within online videogames, criminals will use it if it suits their interests. It is too late to wish virtual currency away. Learning how to best glean clues and leads from virtual currency is a necessary step to making strong cases against cybercriminals.
[9]政府对虚拟货币的监管已经来到美国,但仍在不断发展。但即使有监管,犯罪分子也一直表明他们会利用任何形式的价值存储或价值转移。无论是现金、银行电汇、虚拟货币、钻石、黄金,还是在线视频游戏中的货币,犯罪分子都会在符合他们利益的情况下使用它。现在希望虚拟货币消失为时已晚。学习如何最好地从虚拟货币中收集线索和线索是针对网络犯罪分子提出有力案例的必要步骤。

Last month a well-known infertility specialist, Panayiotis Zavos of the University of Kentucky, announced that he and Severino Antinori, an Italian researcher, were forming a consortium to produce the first human clone. Researchers in South Korea claim they have already created a cloned human embryo, though they destroyed it rather than implant it in a surrogate mother to develop. Recent cover stories in Wired and the New York Times tracked the efforts of the Raelians, a religious group committed to cloning the cells of a dead 10-month-old boy whose devastated parents hope, in effect, to bring him back to life as a newborn. Some biotechnology specialists believe that within a few years—some scientists believe a few months—the news will break of the birth of the first human clone.
上个月,肯塔基大学(University of Kentucky)的著名不孕症专家帕纳伊奥蒂斯·扎沃斯(Panayiotis Zavos)宣布,他和 意大利研究员塞韦里诺·安蒂诺里(Severino Antinori)正在组建一个财团,以生产第一个人类克隆人。韩国的研究人员声称他们已经创造了一个克隆的人类胚胎,尽管他们销毁了它,而不是将其植入代孕母亲体内进行发育。《连线》和《纽约时报》最近的封面故事 追踪了雷尔安人的努力,这是一个宗教团体,致力于克隆一个 10 个月大的死男孩的细胞,他的父母悲痛欲绝,实际上希望让他像新生儿一样起死回生。 一些生物技术专家认为,在几年内——一些科学家认为是几个月——第一个人类克隆人诞生的消息就会传出。
That has made many scientists scared to death. Even if all these headlines are exaggerated publicity and we are actually far away from seeing the first human clone, the very fact that at this moment, the research is proceeding underground, unaccountable, poses a real threat. The risk lies not just with potential babies born deformed, as many animal clones are; not just with desperate couples and cancer patients and other potential "clients" whose hopes may be raised and hearts broken and life savings wiped out. The immediate risk is that a strong objection to renegade (反传统,叛逆) science might strike at responsible science as well.
这让许多科学家吓死了。即使所有这些头条新闻都是夸大其词的宣传,而且我们实际上离看到第一个人类克隆人还很遥远,但此时此刻,研究正在地下进行,不负责任的事实,构成了真正的威胁。风险不仅在于潜在的出生畸形婴儿,就像许多动物克隆人一样;不仅仅是与绝望的夫妇、癌症患者和其他潜在的“客户”,他们的希望可能会提高,心碎,毕生的积蓄可能会付诸东流。直接的风险是,对 renegade (反传统,叛逆) 科学的强烈反对也可能打击负责任的科学。
The more scared people are of some of this research, scientists worry, the less likely they are to tolerate any of it. Yet variations on cloning technology are already used in biotechnology labs all across the country. It is these techniques that will allow, among other things, the creation of cloned herds of sheep and cows that produce medicines in their milk. Researchers also hope that one day, the ability to clone adult human cells will make it possible to "grow" new hearts and livers and nerve cells.
科学家们担心,人们对其中一些研究越害怕,他们就越不可能容忍其中的任何一项。然而,克隆技术的变体已经在全国各地的生物技术实验室中使用。正是这些技术将允许创造克隆的绵羊和奶牛群,这些羊群和奶牛在它们的牛奶中产生药物。研究人员还希望,有一天,克隆成人细胞的能力将使“生长”新的心脏、肝脏和神经细胞成为可能。
But some of the same techniques could also be used to grow a baby. Trying to block one line of research could impede another and so reduce the chances of finding cures for ailments such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, cancer and heart disease. Were some shocking breakthrough in human cloning to cause "an overcompensatory response by legislators," says Rockefeller University cloning expert Tony Perry, "that could be disastrous. At some point, it will potentially cost lives." So we are left with choices and trade-offs and a need to think through whether it is this technology or just certain ways of using it that alarms us.
但一些相同的技术也可以用于培养婴儿。试图阻止一条研究路线可能会阻碍另一条路线,从而减少找到治疗阿尔茨海默氏症和帕金森氏症、癌症和心脏病等疾病的机会。 洛克菲勒大学(Rockefeller University)克隆专家托尼·佩里(Tony Perry)说,如果人类克隆技术取得一些令人震惊的突破,导致“ 立法者做出过度补偿的反应 ”,那将是灾难性的。在某些时候,它可能会付出生命的代价。因此,我们不得不做出选择和权衡,需要仔细考虑是这项技术还是某些使用它的方式让我们感到震惊。

Cities are getting smarter every day, so are their transit options. One emerging option is autonomous vehicles (AVs), or simply cars with self-driving B. However, as experts say, before we enter a reality where AVs are F into our daily lives, we will see the continued rise of electric vehicles (EVs) all over the world.
Besides saving costs for consumers, EVs can bring many N benefits to the environment because they use electricity instead of gas to drive their wheels. Many large cities are trying to encourage the use of EVs by installing public charging stations throughout the city and M the vehicle registration process. At the same time, many automakers are working to G the charging speed of EVs and to make EVs more A.
As the use of EVs rises, greater C will be placed on the power industry. In some areas where energy resources are stressed already, the increasing use of EVs could well E the electrical supply system.
EVs can also impact urban planning. Thus, consideration of commute options, location of charging stations, and open data should be part of a city’s future mobility plans. It is important for automakers to partner with urban planners and utility companies to provide K experiences for consumers and residents. Imagine one day a driverless EV picks you up and drops you off, and then L to the location of the next passenger without ever stopping to recharge because of wireless power transfer from nearby energy sources. The technology is on the way, but we need to wait for our cities and energy industry to get ready as well.
城市每天都在变得越来越智能,他们的交通选择也越来越多。一种新兴的选择是自动驾驶汽车 (AV),或者简称为具有自动驾驶 B 的汽车 。然而,正如专家所说,在我们进入自动驾驶 汽车进入我们日常生活的现实之前 ,我们将看到电动汽车 (EV) 在全球范围内的持续 崛起。 除了为消费者节省成本外,电动汽车还可以为环境带来许多 N 好处,因为它们使用电力而不是天然气来驱动车轮。许多大城市正试图通过在城市各处安装公共充电站和 M 车辆登记流程来鼓励使用电动汽车。与此同时,许多汽车制造商正在努力 提高电动汽车的充电速度,使电动汽车的 A 级更高 。 随着电动汽车使用量的增加,电力行业将面临更大的 C 问题。在一些能源资源已经紧张的地区,电动汽车的使用增加可能会 严重影响 供电系统。 电动汽车也会影响城市规划。因此,考虑通勤选择、充电站位置和开放数据应该是城市未来交通计划的一部分。汽车制造商与城市规划者和公用事业公司合作,为消费者和居民提供 K 体验非常重要。 想象一下,有一天,一辆无人驾驶的电动汽车接送您,然后 L 到下一位乘客的位置,由于附近能源的无线电力传输,您从未停下来充电。这项技术正在开发中,但我们也需要等待我们的城市和能源行业做好准备。

Traditional vs Digital Media? Which Should I Use in My Business?
传统媒体还是数字媒体?我应该在我的业务中使用哪个?
[1] Media magnifies (放大) your marketing message, allowing you to tell people about your amazing products and services. Traditional media such as television, radio and print ads in newspapers and magazines have long been the primary outlet for advertising campaigns, but added to this now are digital channels like email and social media that have increased the opportunities for companies, big and small, to connect and spread the word. With so many choices, what is the best mix for your next campaign? The best type of media for your marketing goals will depend on your ideal target audience, your budget and the products or services you are promoting. Let's look at the options.
Television
[2] This can be an expensive option in prime time spots but your ad can still reach broad audiences, particularly if your campaign also includes placement within the network's on-demand site. With a smaller marketing budget it's worth looking for advertising opportunities on specialized channels such as those focused on sport, outdoor activities or cooking. These channels have smaller viewer numbers but allow marketers opportunities to target a niche audience. Sponsoring popular TV shows can be a highly effective option in combination with an ad campaign. Researchers at Thinkbox found that when the brand personality and show had a good fit it made the brand appear as more successful. TV advertising also requires a production budget in addition to purchasing the actual media time. These can include:
[1] 媒体放大(放大)您的营销信息,让您能够向人们介绍您出色的产品和服务。长期以来,电视、广播和报纸和杂志上的平面广告等传统媒体一直是广告活动的主要渠道,但现在电子邮件和社交媒体等数字渠道增加了大大小小的公司联系和传播信息的机会。有这么多选择,您下一个活动的最佳组合是什么?实现您的营销目标的最佳媒体类型将取决于您的理想目标受众、您的预算以及您推广的产品或服务。让我们看看选项。 电视 [2]在黄金时段,这可能是一个昂贵的选择,但您的广告仍然可以覆盖广泛的受众,特别是如果您的广告活动还包括在网络点播网站内的投放。由于营销预算较少,值得在专业渠道上寻找广告机会,例如专注于体育、户外活动或烹饪的渠道。这些频道的观众人数较少,但让营销人员有机会定位小众受众。赞助热门电视节目与广告活动相结合可能是一个非常有效的选择。Thinkbox 的研究人员发现,当品牌个性和节目契合时,它会使品牌看起来更加成功。电视广告除了购买实际的媒体时间外,还需要制作预算。这些可能包括:
creative fees;
创意费;
film company costs;
电影公司成本;
talent fees for actors.
演员的人才费。
Radio
收音机
[3] Radio is portable. You can reach people while they drive, work or walk the dog. Keep your message short and sweet so that your "on-the-go" audience knows what the offer is and how to get in touch. Production costs may be relatively inexpensive. In fact most radio stations will create the ad for you. As with all advertising, a strong and creative ad will always give you the competitive edge. It has to be good at getting your message across and building your brand preference. Your campaign proposal is likely to be a bundle of stations with some spots in prime time and others in lower listening times. Negotiate your campaign package for maximum frequency in prime time.
[3] 收音机是便携式的。您可以在人们开车、工作或遛狗时与他们联系。保持您的信息简短而贴心,以便您的“移动”受众知道优惠是什么以及如何取得联系。生产成本可能相对便宜。事实上,大多数广播电台都会为您制作广告。与所有广告一样,一个强大而有创意的广告将始终为您带来竞争优势。它必须善于传达您的信息并建立您的品牌偏好。您的竞选提案可能是一组电台,其中一些时段位于黄金时段,而另一些时段位于收听时间较短的位置。协商您的活动包,以便在黄金时段获得最大频率。
Digital media
数字媒体
[4] A small budget is no longer an insurmountable (不可逾越的) barrier when it comes to marketing. Digital marketing has given small businesses more tools to reach their audience with a much smaller budget. Social media or email marketing campaigns can be created for little or no cost if you put in some time. Adding a bit of budget can boost your message to specific target groups.
[4] 在营销方面,小预算不再是不可逾越(不可逾越的)障碍。数字营销为小企业提供了更多工具,以更少的预算接触他们的受众。如果您投入一些时间,可以以很少或免费的成本创建社交媒体或电子邮件营销活动。增加一点预算可以提升您向特定目标群体的信息。
Video hosting sites
视频托管网站
[5] Television is not the only method for disseminating filmed advertisements. Now your video can be shared on YouTube and other video hosting sites. Even if you create an ad for TV, it is important to post here too. If your video is engaging, you get the power of online sharing. Platforms like YouTube are all about user-generated content. There are no middle men to pay. You own your channel and pay direct for any promotion of your campaign. If you are using content created by someone else, make sure you have the usage rights or it has a creative commons license. Video is powerful whether on TV or online. In video you can "show" rather than "tell" and capture imaginations.
[5]电视并不是传播拍摄广告的唯一方法。现在,您的视频可以在 YouTube 和其他视频托管网站上共享。即使您为电视制作广告,在此处发布也很重要。如果您的视频引人入胜,您将获得在线共享的强大功能。像 YouTube 这样的平台都是关于用户生成的内容的。没有中间人需要支付。您拥有自己的频道并直接为您的活动的任何促销付费。如果您使用的是其他人创建的内容,请确保您拥有使用权或它具有 Creative Commons 许可证。无论是在电视上还是在网络上,视频都非常强大。在视频中,您可以 “展示” 而不是 “讲述” 并捕捉想象力。
Website and search engine optimization (SEO)
网站和搜索引擎优化 (SEO)
[6] Every business needs a website but this shouldn't be a static brochure for your business. SEO strategies are used to help improve your website's ranking on search engine results pages in a sustainable way in order to attract more visitors to your site over time. SEO can involve a variety of techniques including the use of key words, links and metadata to make your website attractive to visitors, easy to navigate and rich in useful content. A website that offers visitors valuable information can be an effective marketing tool that more than repays the investment involved in creating it. Having got the best advice on SEO techniques, almost anyone in your organization can then apply them.
[6] 每个企业都需要一个网站,但这不应该是针对您企业的静态宣传册。SEO 策略用于帮助以可持续的方式提高您的网站在搜索引擎结果页面上的排名,以便随着时间的推移吸引更多访问者访问您的网站。SEO 可以涉及多种技术,包括使用关键字、链接和元数据,使您的网站对访问者具有吸引力、易于导航和有用的内容丰富。为访问者提供有价值信息的网站可以成为一种有效的营销工具,它不仅仅是回报创建它所涉及的投资。在获得了有关 SEO 技术的最佳建议后,您组织中的几乎任何人都可以应用它们。
[7] The type of media you choose to use for your marketing campaign depends upon your objectives and the audience you are trying to reach. Marketing is now frequently a cross-media and multi-platform enterprise. Digital marketing techniques can be enhanced when combined with old media and likewise traditional media campaigns like print, TV and radio should be shared and supported on your social media platforms. Your target market is unlikely to consume only one type of media so make sure you are using the best tools out there to broaden your reach, grow your business and achieve your goals.
[7] 您选择用于营销活动的媒体类型取决于您的目标和您试图接触的受众。营销现在经常是一个跨媒体和多平台的企业。当与旧媒体相结合时,可以增强数字营销技术,同样,应在您的社交媒体平台上分享和支持印刷品、电视和广播等传统媒体活动。您的目标市场不太可能只消费一种类型的媒体,因此请确保您使用最好的工具来扩大影响力、发展业务并实现目标。

Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? A short time ago, a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test. During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast; and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Scientist wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.
The results show that if he or she eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than it he or she has no breakfast. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think. Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch. They will gain weight instead of losing it. You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
如果你不吃早餐,这有什么关系吗?不久前,在美国进行了一次测试。从 12 岁到 83 岁不等的不同年龄的人被要求进行测试。在测试期间,这些人得到了各种早餐;有时他们根本没有早餐。科学家想看看他们在吃了不同种类的早餐后身体运作情况如何。 结果表明,如果他或她吃正确的早餐,他或她会比没有早餐的工作更好。如果学生在上学前吃了水果、鸡蛋、面包和牛奶,他在课堂上会学得更快,听得更仔细。 结果与某些人的想法相反。不吃早餐不会帮助你减肥。这是因为人们在中午变得非常饥饿,以至于午餐吃得太多。他们的体重会增加而不是减轻。如果你 减少 其他膳食, 你会减轻更多的体重。

In today's world English is the most widely used language. It is our duty to learn English in the new situation of the reform (改革) and open to the outside world. Can we master the English language? In order to master it, I'd like to give you some good advice.
First, I think interest is the base of success. I enjoyed listening to foreign friends talking to each other when I was a child. At the same time I watched the English programs on TV. From then on, I kept on learning English .The more I learned, the more progress I made.
Second, practice is the key to learning English. Many people study English very hard, but they are very shy to speak it in public, for they are afraid of making a mistake. Remember you have to make a mistake before you can correct it. A native English speaker who has been speaking English for almost 60 years still makes mistakes sometimes.
Third, the beginners in English should be encouraged to pay attention to idioms. The English language has many idioms. For example, you should say "He is strong as a horse.", but not "He is strong as a cow."
在当今世界,英语是使用最广泛的语言。在改革(改革)和向外界开放的新形势下学习英语是我们的责任。我们能掌握英语吗?为了掌握它,我想给你一些好的建议。 首先,我认为兴趣是成功的基础。我小时候就喜欢听外国朋友互相交谈。与此同时,我在电视上观看英语节目。从那时起,我就继续学习英语。我学到的越多,我取得的进步就越大。 其次,练习是学习英语的关键。许多人非常努力地学习英语,但他们非常害羞地在公共场合说英语,因为他们害怕犯错。请记住,您必须先犯错误,然后才能纠正它。一个以英语为母语的人说了将近 60 年,有时仍然会犯错误。 第三,应该鼓励英语初学者注意成语。英语有很多习语。例如,您应该说“他像马一样强壮”,但不要说“他像牛一样强壮”。

Is AQ More Important than EQ and IQ?
AQ 比 EQ 和 IQ 更重要吗?
[1] Many job seekers have to take written exams and interviews in job hunting. Does your company hire for cognitive or emotional intelligence? Adversity quotient may be a more reliable predictor of success.
[1] 许多求职者在求职活动中必须参加笔试和面试。您的公司招聘的是认知智能还是情商?逆境商数可能是更可靠的成功预测指标。
[2] Kevin Chin is an Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) member in Brisbane, and founder and CEO of Arowana & Co., a specialist investor and operator in the emerging company sector that focuses on scaling enterprises. Kevin has experienced the importance of resilience (复原能力;适应能力) in business success and shares his thoughts on this emerging topic.
[2] Kevin Chin 是布里斯班的企业家组织(EO)成员,也是 Arowana & Co.的创始人兼首席执行官,Arowana & Co.是一家专注于扩大企业规模的新兴公司领域的专业投资者和运营商。Kevin 体会到韧性的重要性 (复原能力;适应能力)分享他对这一新兴话题的看法。
[3] Social scientists and psychologists are increasingly acknowledging that EQ ( emotional quotient) is just as if not more important than IQ ( intelligence quotient, a measure of cognitive intelligence) as far as success in business and life is concerned. Acthally, people get to know IQ first and then gradually they become familiar with EQ while many experts emphasize its importance. As a result, when I mention EQ and IQ, people generally know what I am talking about since they are very popular terms used in many situations.
[3] 社会科学家和心理学家越来越认识到,就商业和生活的成功而言,情商(情商)与智商(智商,衡量认知智力的指标)一样重要。实际上,人们首先了解智商,然后逐渐熟悉情商,而许多专家强调它的重要性。因此,当我提到情商和智商时,人们通常知道我在说什么,因为它们是在许多情况下使用的非常流行的术语。
[4] However, when I use the term AQ, almost no one understands the reference. AQ stands for adversity quotient, or simply put, resilience. And, I believe it is more important than EQ and IQ, especially in business. In my experience of starting 5 different businesses—and going on to scale, grow and sell them—I've come to realize that resilience is the key common denominator (共同特性;平均水平) in terms of growth and successful outcomes. It is not uncommon to encounter many adverse situations in business such as the shortage of money, the lack of support, the fierce competition. A good businessman has to be strong enough to face all the challenges and even prepare for potential bankruptcy. It is resilience that could empower a businessman to fight in the adversity for any possible success in future. With resilience, one will never fear any failure because his resilience can cheer up him and help him recover himself and his business.
[4]然而,当我使用 AQ 这个词时,几乎没有人理解这个引用。AQ 代表逆境商数,或者简单地说,韧性。而且,我相信它比情商和智商更重要,尤其是在商业中。在我创办 5 家不同企业并继续扩大、发展和销售它们的经验中,我逐渐意识到弹性是关键的共同点(共同特性;平均水平)。在业务中遇到许多不利情况,例如资金短缺、缺乏支持、竞争激烈等并不少见。一个好的商人必须足够强大,能够面对所有挑战,甚至为潜在的破产做好准备。正是韧性可以使商人能够在逆境中为未来任何可能的成功而奋斗。有了韧性,一个人就永远不会害怕任何失败,因为他的韧性可以让他振作起来,帮助他恢复自己和他的生意。
[5] It has been said that we are living in the best possible time to be an entrepreneur. When talking with fellow entrepreneurs, however, we are unanimous in agreement that collective enterprise resilience—AQ—is the key determinant (决定因素) of success and winning in the business realm. This is not to say that EQ and IQ are unimportant; I consider them as necessary but insufficient requirements. Without AQ, the success of your team will be finite. So, how do you ensure that your organization can achieve the highest possible level of AQ? Here are some practical tips:
[5] 有人说,我们生活在成为企业家的最佳时代。然而,在与其他企业家交谈时,我们一致认为,集体企业韧性 (AQ) 是在商业领域成功和获胜的关键决定因素(决定因素)。这并不是说情商和智商不重要;我认为它们是必要的,但要求是不够的。没有 AQ,您团队的成功将是有限的。那么,您如何确保您的组织能够达到尽可能高的 AQ 水平呢?以下是一些实用提示:
[6] Recruitment
招聘. Emphasize AQ testing rather than just EQ and IQ testing. It can be difficult to test AQ, as seeing how people think and behave under pressure is not easy to simulate in an interview context. However, it is possible to screen a résumé for "fair-weather (只适于顺境的) employees" through past behaviors such as changing jobs frequently or leaving a previous role because the business was facing difficult circumstances. Such hires must be avoided at all costs, as these individuals tend to be easily discouraged when confronted with even minimal adversity and you'll risk infecting and weakening your team's overall morale (精神状态) and culture. Conversely, candidates who stuck out a job in dire (极糟糕的) circumstances even though the business subsequently closed warrant more consideration. Often, such people exhibit greater depth and breadth of work experience because they have been the last person standing and have worn many hats. A further indication of AQ can be gleaned from early life experiences of candidates who faced adversity and overcame or dealt with it.
.强调 AQ 测试,而不仅仅是 EQ 和 IQ 测试。测试 AQ 可能很困难,因为在面试环境中不容易模拟人们在压力下的想法和行为。但是,可以通过过去的行为来筛选“fair-weather (只适于顺境的)员工”的简历,例如频繁换工作或因为企业面临困难而离开以前的职位。必须不惜一切代价避免此类招聘,因为这些人在面对哪怕是最小的逆境时往往很容易气馁,您将有可能感染和削弱团队的整体士气(精神状态)和文化。相反,即使在企业随后关闭的情况下,在可怕(极糟糕)的情况下坚持工作的候选人也值得更多考虑。通常,这些人表现出更深入和更广的工作经验,因为他们是最后一个站着的人,并且身兼数职。AQ 的进一步迹象可以从面临逆境并克服或处理逆境的候选人的早期生活经历中收集到。
[7] Rewards.
奖励。 Typical incentive structures reward contribution primarily on an attribution basis. The risk with overly simplistic models is that they may fail to reward people demonstrating high AQ because their project may not yet be yielding results or achieving profit. It is important to adopt an incentive model that is sophisticated enough to acknowledge those working on difficult assignments, where they are contributing and delivering results, even when the fruits of their labor are yet to be fully realized.
典型的激励结构主要根据归因来奖励贡献。过于简单的模型的风险在于,它们可能无法奖励表现出高 AQ 的人,因为他们的项目可能尚未产生结果或实现利润。采用一种足够复杂的激励模式非常重要,以认可那些从事艰巨任务的人,即使他们的劳动成果尚未完全实现,他们也在做出贡献并取得成果。
[8] Recognition.
识别。 Members of the team who demonstrate the highest AQ and deliver results, all other things being equal, should become leaders of the organization. Often, these team members will be the ones who are also the most productive and get things done as they are less prone to distraction or dissuasion by adverse circumstances surrounding them.
在所有其他条件相同的情况下,表现出最高 AQ 并交付成果的团队成员应该成为组织的领导者。通常,这些团队成员也是最有效率的人,并且能把事情做好,因为他们不太容易受到周围不利环境的干扰或劝阻。
[9] Ultimately, winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit. It's crucial to understand that a winning team will collectively exhibit high AQ, above all else.
[9] 归根结底,赢家不是那些永不失败的人,而是那些永不放弃的人。了解获胜的团队将集体表现出高 AQ 至关重要,这高于一切。

What is the use of a plan?
计划有什么用?
The concept that a plan itself means very little isn’t a new idea. Who would think that spending a year doing a business plan is a good thing, or that formal business plans spell success?
计划本身意义不大的概念并不是一个新想法。谁会认为花一年时间制定商业计划是一件好事,或者正式的商业计划意味着成功?
Business plans are sometimes overdone and misused, but the planning process is critical. About 60 years ago, Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “The plan is useless; it’s the planning that’s important.” That’s still true today. In fact, all business plans are wrong. They’re the work of humans guessing the future, dealing with uncertainty and making assumptions. Still, the planning process is absolutely essential. A startup entrepreneur’s planning process should start with a plan and continue with a plan vs. reality review, progress tracking and course correction.
商业计划有时会被过度和滥用,但规划过程至关重要。大约 60 年前,德怀特·艾森豪威尔 (Dwight D. Eisenhower) 说:“这个计划毫无用处;重要的是规划。今天仍然如此。事实上,所有的商业计划都是错误的。它们是人类猜测未来、处理不确定性和做出假设的工作。尽管如此,规划过程是绝对必要的。创业者的规划过程应该从计划开始,然后是计划与现实的审查、进度跟踪和路线修正。
Planning is about controlling your destiny: Establish your business goals and outline the steps needed to achieve them – don’t just react to events. While your plan will be wrong, of course, how would you track what is going wrong without it? You can’t have a route without a starting point and a destination, but even the most well-planned route may require some detours (绕道).
规划就是控制你的命运:建立你的商业目标并概述实现这些目标所需的步骤——不要只对事件做出反应。当然,虽然您的计划会出错,但如果没有它,您将如何跟踪出了什么问题?您不能没有起点和目的地的路线,但即使是最精心规划的路线也可能需要绕道。
For the best results, planning should be concrete and specific. For each step in your plan, create dates, deadlines and clearly assigned responsibilities. You can’t track your progress and steer your company efficiently with vague generalities (概述). In real-world planning, form follows function. When new businesses seek investors they usually need formal plans. Investors who say they don't need formal plans still need to see your strategy, focus, priorities, commitments, dates and deadlines. The content has to be there, regardless of the format. Although you may not need a formal plan, all businesses need to go through the planning process. There will always be examples of businesses with great plans that fail and businesses with no plans that succeed, but I feel it’s very dangerous to tell startup entrepreneurs they don’t need a plan. The truth of the matter is that most of us need more planning, not more rationalizations for not doing it.
为了获得最佳结果,规划应该是具体和具体的。对于计划中的每个步骤,创建日期、截止日期和明确分配的职责。您无法通过模糊的一般性来跟踪您的进度并有效地指导您的公司(概述)。在实际规划中,形式服从功能。当新企业寻找投资者时,他们通常需要正式的计划。那些说他们不需要正式计划的投资者仍然需要看到你的策略、重点、优先事项、承诺、日期和截止日期。无论格式如何,内容都必须在那里。虽然您可能不需要正式的计划,但所有企业都需要完成规划过程。总会有企业有伟大计划但失败的例子,也总会有没有计划的企业成功的例子,但我觉得告诉创业者他们不需要计划是非常危险的。事实是,我们大多数人都需要更多的计划,而不是因为不这样做而需要更多的合理化。

答案:C
Anyone who has been to a movie house recently has seen examples of TV-conditioned behaviors. People talk, babies cry, members of the audience file in and out getting soft drinks and going to the bathroom. Students act similarly in college courses. A decade ago, there was always an isolated student who did these kinds of things. What is new is a behavior pattern, characteristic of a group rather than an individual. This cultural pattern is becoming more and more obvious, and I link it directly to televiewing. Stated simply, the pattern is this: Televiewing causes people to reproduce improperly, in other areas of their lives, behavior styles developed while watching television.
任何最近去过电影院的人都见过电视条件反射行为的例子。人们说话,婴儿哭泣,观众们进进出出,喝软饮料和去洗手间。学生在大学课程中的行为类似。十年前,总是有一个孤立的学生做这种事情。新的是一种行为模式,是一个群体而不是个人的特征。这种文化模式越来越明显,我将其直接与电视观看联系起来。简单地说,模式是这样的:电视观看导致人们在生活的其他领域不当地再现了在看电视时形成的行为风格。
Some examples are in order. Almost nothing bothers professors more than having someone read a newspaper in class. I don’t often get newspapers in class, but one day I noticed a student sitting in the front row reading a novel. Annoyed by her boldness, I stopped lecturing and asked, “Why are you reading a novel in class?”
以下是一些示例。几乎没有什么比让别人在课堂上读报纸更让教授困扰的了。我不经常在课堂上拿报纸,但有一天我注意到一个学生坐在前排看小说。我对她的大胆感到恼火,停止了讲课,问道:“你为什么在课堂上读小说?
She answered, “Oh, I’m not in your class. I just came in here to do some reading.”
她回答说:“哦,我不是你的班。我只是来这里读书的。
This student was simply an extreme example of a culture pattern derived from television. Because of her lifelong dependence on TV, she had trouble reading without background noise. It didn’t matter to her whether the background noise came from a radio, a TV set, or a live professor. Accustomed to machines that don’t respond, she probably was amazed that I noticed her at all.
这个学生只是源自电视的文化模式的一个极端例子。由于她终生依赖电视,在没有背景噪音的情况下阅读很困难。对她来说,背景噪音是来自收音机、电视机还是现场教授并不重要。她习惯了没有反应的机器,她可能很惊讶我竟然注意到了她。
Another example of a televiewing effect is students’ increasing tendency to enter and leave classrooms at will. Only during the past few years have I regularly observed students getting up in mid-lecture, leaving the room for a few minutes, and then returning. Sometimes they bring back a canned soft drink.
电视观看效应的另一个例子是学生越来越倾向于随意进出教室。只是在过去的几年里,我经常观察到学生在课堂上到处起身,离开教室几分钟,然后又回来。有时他们会带回罐装软饮料。
These students intend no disrespect. They are simply transferring a home-grown pattern of drink-and-bathroom break from family room to classroom. They perceive nothing unusual in acting the same way in front of a live speaker and fellow students as they do when they watch television.
这些学生无意不尊重。他们只是将一种本土的喝酒和上厕所的模式从家庭活动室转移到教室。他们认为在现场演讲者和同学面前的行为方式与看电视时的行为方式相同并没有什么不寻常的。
