二、课文不厌百遍读,书中自有“黄金屋”
Lesson 1 Success Comes with a High EQ(成功来自高情商)
Most students do an IQ (Intelligence Quotient) test early in their school life.Even if they When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a However, new research into EQ (Emotional Quotient) suggests that success is not simply the result of a high IQ.
[课文对译]
大多数学生会在学生生涯早期做智商测试。即使从未看到过测试结果,他们也认为是智商决定了自己日后生活中的表现。当看到其他学生比自己优秀,他们通常会认为那些学生智商更高,无论做什么也改变不了自身这一劣势。然而,最新的情商研究表明,成功并不仅仅是高智商的结果。
[难句破解]
句①:本句为复合句,含有四个从句,even if引导让步状语从句,feel后面的that引导宾语从句,is后面的what引导表语从句,determines后面的how引导宾语从句。
句②:此处为and连接的两个并列的宾语从句,都作动词believe的宾语,且第二个that不能省略。在第二个宾语从句中,they can do 为省略关系词的定语从句,修饰先行词nothing。
While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence.Professor Salovey, who invented the term EQ, gives the following description: at work,it is Supported by his research, Professor future success, their character as measured by EQ tests, might actually matter more than their IQ.
[课文对译]
智商表明你到底有多聪明,而情商表明你如何善用智慧。最先使用情商一词的沙洛维教授这样描述:帮你找到工作的是智商,但让你升职的是情商。在其研究的基础上,沙洛维教授建议,在预测某人未来的成功时,由情商测定的性格实际上可能比智商更重要。
[难句破解]
句③:but连接两个并列分句,这两个分句均使用了强调句型,其结构为“it is/was+被强调部分+that/who ...”。
句④:过去分词短语Supported ...作状语;when predicting ...是“连词+分词”的省略结构,在句中作状语。
Professor Salovey may be correct.For example,have you ever wondered why some of the smartest failing exams? Perhaps their failure is because of their lower EQ.People are often mistaken in thinking that those with high IQs always have high EQs as well.This association can exist, but it is just as possible for someone with a low IQ to have a low EQ.
[课文对译]
沙洛维教授或许是对的。举个例子,你有没有想过,为什么班里那些最聪明的学生,那些你认为本应取得好成绩的学生,有时却考试不及格?也许他们的失败是因为情商较低。人们常误以为高智商的人也同样拥有高情商。这种关联可能存在,但同样也有可能低智商的人拥有高情商,或者高智商的人拥有低情商。
[难句破解]
句⑤:why引导宾语从句;who引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词some of the smartest students;you think在句中作插入语。
句⑥:本句含有it is possible for sb.to do sth.结构。
have positive attitudes towards life.They are also less likely to be troubled by internal problems.On the other hand, there is other people and dealing with difficult situations; hence they have a harder time adjusting in life and in their careers.
People generally believe that a person's IQ is determined by birth.However, most social scientists agree that EQ has a lot to do with education.Some are trying to study the possibility of improving a person's EQ, especially in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication.
[课文对译]
人们普遍认为,情商高的人容易接纳新思想,对待生活积极乐观,很少为自身问题所困扰。另一方面,情商低的人毫无疑问往往在与人相处、解决困难方面存在问题。因此,他们适应生活和职业生涯中的变化也就更困难。
人们普遍认为人的智商是一出生就决定了的。然而,大多数社会学家认为,情商与教育有很大关系。一些社会学家正试图研究提高情商的可能性,特别是“人际技能”方面,例如:理解和沟通。
[难句破解]
句⑦:此处it is generally believed that ...意为“人们普遍认为……”,其中it为形式主语,that引导的从句是真正的主语。
句⑧:there is no/little doubt that ...意为“毫无疑问……”,doubt后面的that引导同位语从句。
Professor Mayer, recognised by many as a leading expert in the study of changes to people's EQs, recently announced the results of a study on senior secondary school students.When students were introduced to those who had disabilities, they found that, afterwards, the non-disabled students were more willing to help people with difficulties.been involved in the study, they also showed a better understanding of the disabled students' feelings.There was also an obvious change in the disabled students' attitudes.They became more positive about life and more willing to try new things.
[课文对译]
梅尔教授是公认的人类情商变化研究领域的顶级专家,他最近公布了一项针对高中生的研究结果。他们发现,介绍学生认识有残障的学生之后,这些身体健全的学生会更愿意帮助残障人士。与未参与这一研究的学生相比,他们能更好地理解残障学生的感受。同时,残障学生的态度也发生了明显的变化,他们对待生活更加积极,更愿意尝试新事物。
[难句破解]
句⑨:此处compared to ...为过去分词短语作状语;who引导定语从句,修饰先行词students。
Altogether, the results of studies show that EQ is as important, if not more important than IQ.To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life requires getting on well with other people and being able to understand and react to situations in the best way possible.A high EQ is necessary for this — the higher the better.And the fact that it might be possible to raise EQs means that schools need not solely based on IQ but on developing the entire character.
[课文对译]
总之,一系列研究表明情商即使不比智商更重要,至少也是同等重要。要在这个世界上出人头地,过上快乐又成功的生活,必须要与他人融洽相处,并能够以最好的方式理解和应对各种状况。要做到这些高情商必不可少,而且是越高越好。此外,情商是可以后天提高的,这就意味着学校要确保学生接受他们真正需要的教育,这种教育不仅仅基于智商,而且要基于全人的发展。

句:第一个that引导同位语从句,解释说明the fact的内容;第二、三个that引导宾语从句;they really need是省略关系词的定语从句,修饰先行词an education。
Lesson 3 Meet the New Boss: You(遇见新老板:你)
Up until the 1980s, people in many countries regularly followed in their parents' footsteps by working in the family business or joining the same profession as them.You'd follow your father to sea, onto the farm or into the workshop.You'd follow your mother into the kitchen or sewing room.In your grandparents' time, there was the prospect of doing the same job from graduation until retirement.How times have changed! Most people now have no intention of following in their parents' footsteps or even staying at one job for very long.
[课文对译]
一直到20世纪80年代,在很多国家人们往往子承父业,参与家族生意,或选择与父母从事同一职业。你可能会像父亲一样出海、去农场、进车间,也可能会像妈妈一样进厨房、去缝纫室。在你祖父母的时代,人们的预期是从毕业到退休都做同样的工作。现在时代变了!如今大多数人不再想子承父业,甚至不愿长时间做同一份工作。
In fact, isn't practical anymore.One reason for this is technology.The skills you have now are unlikely to remain relevant and be enough to help you through your entire career.In fact, they will probably be out of date very soon.And then what will you do? Work hard? Win the lottery? Hope for the best? You might be lucky.These strategies might bring you a nice, comfortable life: working at a job you like, earning a decent salary and retiring while you're still young and healthy.But most of us today have to look beyond the little box called “career”.
[课文对译]
事实上,在同一个领域、同一行业工作一辈子的想法已经不现实了。其中一个原因是技术进步。你现在拥有的工作技能不可能一直有用,也不足以支撑你的整个职业生涯。事实上,这些技能可能很快就会过时,然后你会怎么做?努力地工作?中彩票?尽量往好处想?你可能会运气不错。这些做法可能会带来美好舒适的生活:从事一项自己喜欢的工作,挣着一份体面的薪水,退休时还年富力强。但是,今天我们大多数人都必须跳出“职业生涯”这个小框来看待问题。
[难句破解]
句①:此处planning ...life为动名词短语作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。
If you think you can work eight hours a day and build a career, think again.You might be but this is hardly a recipe for great career success.Instead, you'd better keep looking for smarter ways to do your work.You'll need to be a risk taker, an innovator, a problem solver,and a hard worker.Keep doing this, and you can You have a chance to choose to build a career, rather than being told to stay or to go.
[课文对译]
如果以为一天工作8个小时就可以成就一番事业,那么你得重新想想了。完成别人安排的任务,也许可以保住你的工作,但绝不是取得巨大职业成就的方法。相反,最好要不断寻找更巧妙的工作方法,要成为一个冒险者、一个创新者、一个问题解决者,以及一个努力工作的人。持之以恒,这样有一天你才会成为某个行业的专家或专业人士。你有机会去选择成就一番事业,而不是让别人决定自己的去留。
[难句破解]
句②:if引导条件状语从句,其中what引导宾语从句。
句③:此处为“祈使句+连词(and/or)+陈述句”结构。
Jobs and occupations come and go at an amazing pace these days.If you think you can't be replaced by software, or your job can't be outsourced to some robots on the moon, you are wrong.What if your job disappears after working for 10 years in the field?You may have to go back to the classroom and be retrained in order to qualify to work in another field.In fact, in all likelihood, you will have to do this multiple times.But you can be prepared for developments and changes before you are thrown out of a career. be forced to learn.
[课文对译]
如今,工作更换、职业更替的速度惊人。如果认为自己不会被软件所取代,或者自己的工作不可能外包给月球上的机器人,那就大错特错了。假如自己辛辛苦苦工作了十年的岗位消失了怎么办?你可能不得不重新回到教室,接受再培训,才能取得在其他领域工作的资格。事实上,你非常有可能要这样重复很多次。但是在被职业抛弃之前,你可以为未来的发展变化做好准备。选择主动学习还是被迫学习,完全取决于你自己。
[难句破解]
句④:it是形式主语,or连接的两个不定式短语作真正的主语。
In short, if you want to succeed in a 21st century career, you will have to develop new essential skills.Lifetime security from one employer is no longer certain or even likely.The truth is that you well you can do it. Are you ready for this?
[课文对译]
简言之,如果你想在21世纪的职业生涯中取得成功,就必须培养新的必备技能。从同一个雇主那里获得终身职业保障已不再可能也不再可行。实际上,你才是自己职业生涯的老板,也只有你才能决定自己能做什么、能做多好。你准备好了吗?

时尚悦读(一) 求职面试技巧
Good morning, everyone.Today I'll be talking about what to do if you're asked to go for a job interview. advice will help you gain the upper hand as you set off and step into the world of employment.
Before we go any further, it's important to understand the purpose of an interview.An interview is a conversation between an employer and a potential employee, which allows the interviewer to assess Meanwhile, it provides an opportunity for the applicant to learn more about the job and the company, and to discover whether this job is right for him or her.
Prior to the interview, ensure you make good preparations.Find out about the company and the post you are interviewing for through the company profile.This information will give you a good basis for what criteria are used for selecting candidates.List your strengths and skill set that will help the company achieve its goals.It's equally important to analyse your weaknesses and have a plan in mind to show how you intend to overcome them.
questions that could be asked during the interview and think about how to best answer them. Better yet, do practice interviews with a friend.You can film the interviews to review your performance.Pay attention to your voice and body language.Practice makes perfect.Keep at it until you can concisely and confidently present your best self.
Prepare to make a good first impression.Dress appropriately for your interview and gentlemen, be sure to have a good shave.Get a good night's rest so that you feel and look refreshed.Check the address of the interview, decide what mode of transport to use and allow extra time for traffic delays.Remember, be an early bird and arrive at least half an hour before your confirmed interview time.
For the duration of the interview, need clarification,it is not rude to say so. by giving all the information an interviewer needs to get a complete picture of you without talking too much.Justify yourself with relevant examples from your personal experience and be specific about your achievements.However, you'll also need to pay attention to the interviewer's responses to determine whether to provide more details or not.
The interviewer can infer a lot from your body language.Positive body language conveys the impression that you are confident and relaxed.So start with a firm handshake and a genuine smile when greeting the interviewer.While speaking, make constant eye contact but do not stare fixedly at the interviewer.Keep your back straight throughout the interview.Negative body language, such as yawning, looking around and crossing your arms, is to be avoided because it implies that you are bored, anxious or defensive.
Towards the end of the interview, don't forget to seize the moment and ask questions.An interview is a two-way street.Asking questions not only gives you a better picture of the company, but also allows you to address any strengths you weren't able to bring up naturally.For example, “Japanese was a minor subject I took and I know that expanding into Japan is part of your corporate plan.Will this position provide opportunities to work in emerging markets there?”
After the interview, you should follow it up by writing to thank the interviewer for giving you the opportunity and again express your interest in working for the company.This is not only a polite thing to do, but also a final chance to recommend yourself. to see what you did well and where improvements are still needed.
If you follow these steps and put your best foot forward in your interview, you will be one step closer to reaching the end of the rainbow and obtaining your dream job. I wish you the best of luck!

[助读译文]
大家上午好。今天我想说说如果你被邀请参加一场求职面试该怎么做。可能你之前从未成为某项职位的求职者,不过我的建议会帮助你在开始踏入职场时占据上风。
首先要说的是,了解一场面试的目的是很重要的。面试是一位雇主和一位潜在雇员之间的一场对话,面试官据此评估求职者是否适合该职位。同时,面试也为求职者提供机会以便对该职位和该公司有更多了解,同时考量这份工作是否适合自己。
面试之前,要确保作好充足的准备。通过公司简介对该公司以及应聘职位做一些了解。这些信息能为你提供一个很好的依据来判断他们筛选候选人的标准。把你能帮助该公司达成目标的优点和技能组合列出来。同样重要的是要分析自己的弱点,并且在心里计划好自己打算如何克服这些弱点。
针对公司和职位做足功课之后,列出面试时可能会被问到的问题,并想想如何给出最佳答案。最好找一位朋友进行面试练习。你可以把过程录下来,然后回顾自己的表现。注意自己的声音和肢体语言。熟能生巧,坚持练习,直到你能够简洁而自信地展现出最好的自我。
准备好给人留下良好的第一印象。参加面试要穿着得体,另外,男士们请务必把胡须剃干净。头一天晚上好好休息,让自己神清气爽。查一下面试地址,选好交通方式,并留出多余时间以免交通延误。切记,一定要早起,至少比确认的面试时间提前半小时到场。
在面试过程中,要认真听提问,并且如果你需要对方表述得更清楚些,可以提出来,这并不失礼。回答时试着把握好交谈的分寸,给出面试官所需的一切信息,使其对你有全面的了解,又不会过于啰嗦。从自己的个人经历中找出相关事例来解释,并且详细说明你所取得的成绩。但是,你也需要注意面试官的反应来决定是否提供更多细节。
面试官可以从你的肢体语言中推断出很多信息。积极的肢体语言传达着自信而放松的印象。因此,与面试官打招呼时,首先要坚定地握手并真诚地微笑。交谈时要保持眼神交流,但不可一直盯着面试官看。面试全程背部要保持挺直。负面的肢体语言是需要避免的,比如打哈欠、东张西望和交叉双臂,因为这暗示着你感到厌倦、紧张或有所防备。
临近面试结束时,别忘了抓住时机提问。面试是双向的。提问不仅能让你更好地了解这家公司,也能让你展现任何你原先无法自然体现的优势。例如对面试官说:“我的选修专业是日语,并且我了解到在日本拓展业务是贵公司企业计划的一部分。请问这个职位是否会提供在日本的新兴市场工作的机会?”
面试结束后,你应该写信跟进,感谢面试官给你这次机会,并再次表达你为该公司工作的兴趣。这不仅是一种礼节,也是一次最后进行自我推荐的机会。回顾面试的过程也极为重要,以便梳理哪些地方你做得好,哪些地方还需要改进。
如果你按照这些步骤来做,并在面试中全力以赴的话,你会离到达理想的彼岸并获得梦寐以求的工作更近一步。祝你好运!
时尚悦读(二) 创业之花
As she spoke, Zhang Yue put her hands behind her back to hide that they were shaking.She couldn't, however, hide the line of sweat running down her forehead, which was caused partly by the heat of the television studio, but more by fear of the four people seated in front of her.They stared back, their blank faces giving no clue as to what they would say next. Zhang Yue took a deep breath as she struggled to finish her presentation, “And that is why I need your help in turning my new and exciting business into a successful one.”
Now chairwoman of her own company, Zhang Yue is fond of saying, “The early bird catches the worm.” The place where this happens is a valley, a world away from any television studio.Moving carefully through the darkness, she passes row upon row of rose plants.In an hour, these fields will be full of people, working quickly to pick the flowers before sunrise.“It has to be done then,” says Zhang.“These flowers are delicate.”
Zhang never thought that this was something she would end up doing.Surrounded by roses as she was growing up, she paid them little attention. It was only after graduating from university overseas “Conditions are ideal here,” she says.“This is a place where roses grow wild.”
Zhang therefore decided to return to her home town and grow roses, which surprised many people.“I wanted to experience the freedom of being my own boss,” she said.“But I also wanted to give something back to my home town.As people say, ‘It takes a village to raise a child.’”
She is not the only young person to have been bitten by the start-up bug.All over the world, an increasing number of enterprising young people are thinking of starting their own businesses, as the growing economy creates more opportunities.Like Zhang, they present their ideas in the hope of getting investment and advice, and they have the same passion and devotion.The majority meet with rejection.A few, like Zhang Yue, find themselves lucky enough to get investment and the all-important input and support from more experienced business people.The road to their success is however still a long and difficult one, with many challenges along the way.
As someone who grew up in the country, Zhang already knew about growing plants.However, like any entrepreneur who was just starting out, she still had a lot to learn.She has overcome a number of obstacles in nursing her business to the success it is today.“The biggest challenge at the initial phase was to persuade people to work for me, which was totally outside my experience.Few in the village believed I could create a multi-million yuan business from flowers,” says Zhang.“After I went on TV, a major Asian manufacturer of cosmetics was willing to purchase my product and help with its distribution.It was only then that the locals began to believe me.Now my product is one of the best in Asia.This year, I can pay all my fellow workers a decent bonus.”
Seeing her peers who also dream of success and independence, Zhang has mixed feelings. Though she and seek guidance from expert consultants before rushing into things.
“I love running my own business, but it's not for everyone,” says Zhang.“To succeed in business, you need more than a good idea, hard work and determination. What really matters is a Most of all, don't be too ambitious.You should know your own limits and those of the people you work with.For young people who have little life experience, that can be a challenge.”

[助读译文]
发言时,张悦把手藏在背后,以掩饰双手的颤抖。但她无法掩饰从额头淌下的一行汗水,这一部分是由于电视演播室里有些热,但更多的则是由于她害怕坐在她面前的四个人。他们面无表情地凝视着她,让人根本看不出他们接下来会说什么。张悦感到一阵眩晕,做了个深呼吸,然后努力完成她的陈述,“这就是为什么我需要你们的帮助,使这个全新的、激动人心的创业项目获得成功。”
张悦现在是自己公司的总裁,她总喜欢说:“早起的鸟儿有虫吃。”她创业的地点在一个山谷里,这是一个远离任何电视演播室的世界。她小心地在黑暗中穿行,经过一排又一排的玫瑰植株。一小时后就会有许多人来到这里,趁着日出前的时间快速采摘玫瑰花。“必须在那个时候采。”张悦说,“这些花是很娇嫩的。”
张悦以前从未想过自己会做这一行。她从小到大,到处都是玫瑰,她很少注意到它们。直到她结束海外留学生活,回国看望父母时,才意识到这里的潜力。“这里的条件非常理想。”她说,“这里适合玫瑰自然生长。”
因此,张悦决定回到家乡,开始种植玫瑰,这让很多人感到惊讶。“我想体验自己当老板的自由。”她说,“同时我也想回报我的家乡。有句话说得好:‘养育一个孩子需要整个村庄的力量。’”
她并不是唯一一个被创业所吸引的年轻人。在世界各地,经济的不断增长创造了更多的机会,越来越多有事业心的年轻人开始考虑自己创业。像张悦一样,他们表达自己的想法,希望以此获得投资和建议。而且,他们也拥有同样的热情和为事业奉献的决心。他们中的大多数会遭到拒绝,但包括张悦在内的少数人会非常幸运地获得投资,并从更有经验的商界人士那里获得非常关键的投入和支持。不过他们的成功之路仍然漫长而艰难,一路上会遇到许多挑战。
作为一个在农村长大的人,张悦已经比较了解作物种植。不过,跟所有刚起步的企业家一样,她要学的还有很多。为了取得今天的成就,她精心打理生意,克服了许多障碍。“在初始阶段,最大的挑战就是说服人们来为我工作,这完全超出了我的经验范围。村里几乎没人相信我能从花卉生意中赚到几百万元。”张悦说,“我上了电视后,一家亚洲大型化妆品制造商表示愿意购买我的产品并且帮忙分销。直到那时本地人才开始相信我。现在我提供的是亚洲最好的产品之一。今年,我可以给我的同事们发一笔丰厚的奖金了。”
看到同龄人也梦想着成功和独立,张悦的心情很复杂。尽管她希望看到新的创业精神的涌现,但她也建议他们要现实一些,在仓促行事之前先寻求专业顾问的指导。
“我热爱经营自己的生意,但不是每个人都适合做这个。”张悦说,“要想在事业上取得成功,你需要的不仅仅是好的理念、勤奋和决心。真正重要的是一个合理的商业计划,获得资金的渠道,以及良好的管理和谈判技巧。最重要的是,不要野心太大。你得知道自己的极限,还有与你共事的人的极限。对于缺乏生活经验的年轻人来说,这可能是个挑战。”
