资源描述
If great achievers share anything, said Simonton, it is an unrelenting drive to succeed. Theres a tendency to think that they are endowed with something super-normal, he explained. But what comes out of the research is that there are great people who have no amazing intellectual processes. Its a difference in degree. Greatness is built upon tremendous amounts of study, practice and devotion.He cited Winston Churchill, Britains prime minister during World War II, as an example of a risk-taker who would never give up. Thrust into office when his countrys morale was at its lowest, Churchill rose brilliantly to lead the British people. In a speech following the Allied evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940, he inspired the nation when he said, We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end We shall never surrender.西蒙顿说,如果成就巨大者具有什么共性的话,那就是一种坚持不懈地追求成功的动力。“往往有人认为他们具备一些超常非凡的东西,”他解释道。“但研究表明,有些伟人并没有惊人的智力,有的只是程度上的差异而已。伟大是建立在大量的学习、实践和献身精神的基础之上的。” 他举了二战时期的英国首相温斯顿丘吉尔作为永不放弃敢于冒险的典范。丘吉尔在全国士气最为低落的时候被推上了台,并出色地领导了英国人民。在1940年盟军敦刻尔克大撤退之后的一次演讲中,他的话激励了全国人民,“我们决不会退缩、永不失败。我们一定要坚持到底.我们永远不会屈服。”1、美国人往往以从事的工作来对人们进行划分。家庭和教育背景这些特点被认为是不太重要的。1.Americanstendtodefinepeoplebythejobstheyhave/do.Suchcharacteristicsastheirfamilyandeducationalbackgroundsareconsideredlessimportant.2、他决不妥协的个性是他再也无法容忍他的雇主,并最终递交了辞职书的原因。2.Hisuncompromisingpersonalityexplainswhyhecouldnolongerputupwithhisemployerandeventuallysubmittedhisresignation.3、如果你真想学好英语,你就必须投入大量的时间和精力,否则你就不会有任何进步。对于其他课程也可以这么说3.IfyoureallywanttolearnEnglishwell,youmustputinalotoftimeandenergy,oryoullgonowhere.Thesamecanbesaidofothersubjects.4、有些演员的名声靠的是他们天生的美貌,但是达斯汀霍夫曼(Dustin Hoffman) 尽管身材矮小(short stature),还是出类拔萃,而使他与众不同的正是他精湛的演技。4.Someactorsfameisbuiltontheirinnatebeauty,butdespitehisshortstature,DustinHoffmanroseaboveanditishisexcellentactingthatsethimapart.5、他负责管理之后,我们发现他与前任(predecessor)有明显的不同:他有干劲和激情,想出了很多新点子,并把工作重点放在如何鼓舞我们的士气上。5.Afterhetookcharge,wediscoveredthattherewerestrikingdifferencesbetweenhimandhispredecessor.Hehadthedriveandpassion,cameupwithmanynewideas,andfocusedhisworkonhowtoraiseourmorale.6、当邓小平宣布中国改革开放政策的时候,他被永远载入了史册。尽管障碍重重,他以不懈的努力为我国的现代化作出了永久性的贡献。ingmadehistorywhenhedeclaredChinasreformandopening- uppolicy.Despitetremendousobstacles,hemadelastingcontributionstoourcountrysmodernizationwithhisunrelentingefforts.7、为什么有人拥有天才级智商却被智商平平但很刻苦的人丢在后面?承认除了智商外,还有很多别的因素与一个人的成就有着很大的关系。7.WhycouldsomeonewithageniusIQbeleftbehindbyahardworkingpersonwithanaverageIQ?IthastobeacknowledgedthatbesidesonesIQ,manyotherfactorshavemuchtodowithonesachievements.8、这位教师真了不起,她能在教东西之前调动学生的积极性。这并不是因为她有天赋,而是因为她只想着在课堂上吸引他们的注意力。8.Thisteacherisreallyremarkableinfirstmotivatingherstudentssoshecanreallyteachthemsomething.Itsnotthatsheistalented,itsthatshefocusescompletelyordrawingtheirfullattentioninclass.Some persons refrain from expressing their gratitude because they feel it will not be welcome. A patient of mine, a few weeks after his discharge from the hospital, came back to thank his nurse. I didnt come back sooner, he explained, because I imagined you must be bored to death with people thanking you. On the contrary, she replied, I am delighted you came. Few realize how much we need encouragement and how much we are helped by those who give it. Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build up their philosophy of life.有些人不愿表达感激之情,因为他们觉得这不会受欢迎。我的一个病人在出院的后几个星期回到医院感谢他的护士。“我没有早点回来,”他解释说,“因为我猜想你们对别人的感激一定厌烦得要命。” “正好相反,”她回答说,“我很高兴你来。很少有人明白我们多么需要鼓励,我们从那些鼓励我们的人身上获得了多大的帮助。” 我们所给予的感激永远不会过多。因为我们身边的人在构筑他们的人生哲学时所依据的正是这些微笑,正是我们所表示的感谢以及表示感激的小小的举动。1他瞪眼看着约翰,对他拒绝合作感到恼怒。He glared at John and was annoyed by his refusal to cooperate.2约翰真诚的讲话表达了他对那些在他处于困境时给过他慷慨帮助的人们的感激之情。Johns sincere speech shows his gratitude to the people who rendered him generous help when he was in difficulty.3他可说是一个集邮家。他曾经积蓄了两年去买一张珍邮这件事便是证明。He is something of a stamp collector.

They took/caught all the visitors fancy in one way or another.5起先,他理所当然地认为该地区应当多造一些公路。然而仔细计算其费用后,他在作出最后决定前又不得不重新考虑了。At first he took it for granted that they should build more highways in this area. Then a careful calculation of the expenditure compelled him to think twice before he made the final decision.6每次收到我的礼物,不管多少,我的朋友比尔决不忘记表示感谢。Each time he receives a gift from me, no matter how small, my friend Bill never fails to acknowledge it.7那位新闻记者决定找到那对老夫妻信中提及的年轻人。那封信赞颂了年轻人为改善他们的生活条件而付出的努力。The journalist has decided to trace the young man referred to in the old couples
