第一课

1、这样，不仅对那些行动快速的人们，也对那些思维敏捷，并有勇气按自己的想法行事的人们都提出了要求。

This creates a requirement not only for people who can act quickly, but for those who can think fast and have the courage to act on their convictions.

2、每家公司都有几个这样的员工，在某个专业领域，你可以指望他们把活干好。

Every company has a handful of staff in a given area of expertise that you can count on to get the job done. 3、你可以藉此提高在公司的吸引力：为追求一个共同的目标和来自其他实验室和学科的科学家们合作——并且为你的个人履历上的内容提供事迹证明。

You can make yourself more attractive to companies by working together with scientists from other laboratories and disciplines in pursuit of a common goal-and documenting the results on your resume.

4、对我的企业来说，求职者需要坦然地谈论他或她的失败，而且他或她需要有真正的失败经历，而不是特意为面试而杜撰的东西。

For my organization, a candidate needs to have comfort discussing his or her failures, and he or she needs to have real failures, not something make up for interview day.

5、这是一段充满鼓动性的谈话，目的是把猎头们派往竞争对手的公司去游说经验丰富的员工们做出一次职业变更。

6、假如他们看起来有同样的特征的话，我们就在他们身上赌一把。

If looks like they have these same traits, we will place a bet on them.

7、像这样冒风险是一套技能组合，是所有雇主在他们最好的员工身上所寻找的东西。

Putting your neck on the line like this is a skill set that all employers look for in their best people. 8、“一名求职者需要表现出仅凭不准确、不完整的信息就做出决策的能力。他或她必须能接纳不确定因素并冒着风险做出结论，”一位客户在职业描述中写道。

“A candidate needs to have demonstrated the ability to make decision with imperfect or incomplete information. He or she must be able to embrace ambiguity and stick his or her neck out to drive to a conclusion,” wrote one of my clients in a job description.

9、企业的环境并不需要单打独斗，争强好胜，所以表现出合作和无私的精神的员工就脱颖而出了。 The business environment is less lone-wolf and competitive, so signs of being collaborative and selfless stand out. 第二课

10、用这种方法象征辞旧迎新。

This is a way of bidding farewell to the old year and welcoming the New Year. 11、你要是望文生义，准得闹出笑话来。

At different festivals, people partake of different fare.

13、有些顾客等得不耐烦了，就在外面嚷嚷着催他快点，可狗子忙着做包子呢，哪有时间搭理。

Impatient, some people would call out to urge him on, but he was so busy preparing the buns, he didn’t answer. 第三课

14、但是，这些故事绝对不仅仅是各个部分的简单相加。

However, these novels amount to much more than just the sum of their part.

15、《欢乐满人间》的作者帕梅拉·林登·特拉弗斯概括的精辟之极。她写道，“你不能把你想象的东西砍掉一部分然后写成一本专给孩子看的书，坦白的说，因为事实上你根本无从知道童年究竟是什么时候结束，而成人期又是什么时候开始的。

P.L Travers, the author of the Mary Poppins books, put it best when she wrote,“You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for-if you are honest –you have, in fact, no idea where childhood ends and maturity begins.”

16、让人称奇的是，罗琳让每一册书的情节都相互独立，但最后，他却能够巧妙地把它们衔接起来，形成一个意想不到的结局。

Amazingly, Rowling keeps her several plotlines clear of each other until the end, when she deftly brings everything together in a cataclysmic conclusion.

18、而年轻的读者们能够领会这一份深刻的理性吗？

Do young readers pick up on all this deep intellectualism.

19、只有最好的作家——他们能够与苏斯博士和菲利普·普尔曼，当然还有罗琳一样与众不同——才能够做到这一点。

Only the best authors-and they can be as different as Dr.Seuss and Philip Pullman and, yes, J.K.Rowling-can pull that off. 20、她说的很委婉。

That is putting it mildly.

21、我女儿真正想知道的是：与罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森和玛德琳·英格这一类人相比较，罗琳到底有多棒。

What my daughter really wanted to know was how well J.K.Rowling stacks up against the like of Robert Louis Stevenson or Madeleine L’Engle. 22、它在许多人心中产生了共鸣。

It strikes a chord with an enormous number of people.

23、这不能算作一个彻头彻尾的谎言，因为谁也没有办法预测有那一本书能够代代相传。

There’s no telling which books will survive from one generation to the next.

24、除了这些吹毛求疵的意见，罗琳的书可能是孩子们所接触到的最好的书，而且阅读这些书也不是家长强加的任务。

That quibble aside, Rowling’s novels are probably the best books children have ever encountered that haven’t been thrust upon them by an adult. 第四课

25、然而，我们不应就此得出性欲总是以身体的亲密接触告终，或性与浪漫爱情是同一回事的结论。

One should not conclude, however, that desire always culminates in physical intimacy or that desire is the same as romantic love.

26、众所周知，缺乏爱的婴幼儿会产生各种各样的问题，如抑郁症、头痛、生理残疾、 神经质或身心健康，这些病有时会伴随他们一生。

Babies and children deprived of love have been known to develop a wide variety of problems-for example, depression, headaches, physiological impairments, and neurotic and psychosomatic difficulties-that sometimes last a lifetime.

27、我们错过了成千上万的可能的爱人，因为他们早就被正式的或非正式的挑选理想爱人的准则筛选出局，这些准则包括年龄、种族、地域、社会阶层、宗教、性倾向、健康状况或外表。

We will never meet millions of potential lovers because they are“filtered out”by formal or informal rules on partner eligibility due to factors such as age, race, distance, social class, religion, sexual orientation, health, or physical appearance.
