課外閱讀1
美國的文化教育一向很看重學(xué)生的綜合素質(zhì)。四年大學(xué)生涯,大學(xué)生的身份不僅僅是學(xué)生,他們把大學(xué)視作從學(xué)生到成人的轉(zhuǎn)型期。他們的活動(dòng)已不僅僅限于青蔥校園內(nèi),他們通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)出售創(chuàng)意、從大一開始積累各種經(jīng)驗(yàn):自我心態(tài)的調(diào)整、處事能力的提升到與人相處的技巧。在生活中,既要當(dāng)好演員,也要當(dāng)好觀眾;在大學(xué)中,既要當(dāng)好學(xué)生,也要當(dāng)好初涉社會(huì)的預(yù)備人才。Get out of the library. You can have a degree and a hugeGPA and not be ready for the workplace. A student should plan that college is four years ofexperience rather than 120 credits.
第一,走出圖書館。就算有了學(xué)位和很高的GPA, 你也不見得就為工作做好了準(zhǔn)備。作為一名學(xué)生,應(yīng)該把大學(xué)生涯看作是四年人生經(jīng)驗(yàn)而非只是一堆學(xué)分來好好計(jì)劃。
Start a business in your 1)dorm room. It's cheap, Google and Yahoo are dying to buy yourwebsite, and it's better than washing dishes in the 2)cafeteria.
第二,從宿舍開始做生意。這很便宜,谷歌、雅虎都會(huì)爭(zhēng)先恐后地收購你的網(wǎng)站,這比在大學(xué)食堂里洗盤子好多了。
Get involved on campus. When it comes to career succes emotional 3)intelligence—socialskills to read and lead others—gets you farther than knowledge or job 4)competence.
第三,積極參加校園活動(dòng)。論及事業(yè)成功,情商——具有讀懂并領(lǐng)導(dǎo)別人的社交技能——比起知識(shí)或工作能力,對(duì)你更有幫助。
Play a sport. People who play sports earn more money than 5)couch potatoes, and women 6)executives who played sports 7)attribute much of their career success to their athleticexperience. You don't need to be great at sport you just need to be part of a team.
第四,參加體育運(yùn)動(dòng)。玩運(yùn)動(dòng)的人要比整天看電視的人收入高。參加過體育運(yùn)動(dòng)的女性行政人員事業(yè)成功的原因很大程度上要?dú)w功于其運(yùn)動(dòng)經(jīng)歷。你無需在運(yùn)動(dòng)上表現(xiàn)出色,而只需參與其中。
Separate your expectations from those of your parents. Otherwise you wake up and realizeyou're not living your own life.
第五,別遵循父母的期待生活。否則你醒來后會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你過的不是屬于自己的生活。
Try new things that you're not good at. Ditch the superstar mentality that if you don't reach thetop, become president, get an A+, or get promoted to editor-in-chief, then the efforts wereworthless. It's important to learn to enjoy things without getting 8)recognition.
第六,嘗試一些你并不擅長的新事物。拋棄那些名韁利鎖:覺得如果不能成為第一名,當(dāng)不了學(xué)生會(huì)主席,拿不了A+的優(yōu)異成績(jī),或晉升到總編的位置,那么一切努力都是無意義的。重要的是學(xué)著去享受那些無需他人贊賞肯定的事情。
Define success for yourself. Society defines success very narrowly. Rather than defining successas financial gain or 9)accolades, define it in terms of individual interests and personalhappiness.
第七,自己定義成功。社會(huì)對(duì)成功的定義很狹隘。與其把成功定義為經(jīng)濟(jì)上的收獲或嘉獎(jiǎng),不如將其定義為個(gè)人興趣和快樂所在。
Make your job search a priority. Jobs do not fall in your lap, you have to chase them. Especially a good one. It's a job to look for a job. Use 10)spreadsheets to track your progress. And plan early.
第八,要優(yōu)先考慮求職此事。工作要自己去找,特別是好工作,不要等著天上掉餡餅。把找工作看成是一項(xiàng)工作。使用電子表格來記錄你的進(jìn)度,并早日作計(jì)劃。
Take a course in happiness. Happiness study is revolutionizing how we think of psychology, economic and sociology. Preview: Learn to be more optimistic.
第九,修讀關(guān)于“幸福”的課程。關(guān)于“幸福”的研究就是要革新我們對(duì)心理學(xué)、經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)和社會(huì)學(xué)的認(rèn)知。首先要學(xué)會(huì)更積極地看待問題。
Take an acting course. The best actors are actually being their most 11)authentic selves. Youneed to learn to communicate authentically so that people will listen and feel connected.
第十,修讀表演課。實(shí)際上最好的演員只是在演繹最真實(shí)的自己。你要學(xué)習(xí)真誠地與別人溝通,讓他人愿意聆聽并產(chǎn)生共鳴。
Learn to give a 12)compliment. The best compliments are specific. Practice on yourprofessors. If you give a good compliment the recipient will think you're smarter: a big payoffin college, but a bigger payoff in the work world.
第十一,學(xué)會(huì)贊美別人。最好的贊美該是言之有物的。可以把你的教授當(dāng)作練習(xí)對(duì)象。如果你贊美別人得當(dāng),對(duì)方會(huì)覺得你較為聰敏:在校園內(nèi)能有豐厚的回報(bào),在工作中更顯其效。
Use the career center. These people are experts at positioning you in the workforce and theironly job is to get you a job. How can you not love this place? If you find yourself thinking thepeople at your college's career center are idiot it's probably a sign that you really, really don'tknow what you're doing.
第十二,好好利用求職中心。這些專業(yè)人員會(huì)幫你在勞動(dòng)市場(chǎng)中找準(zhǔn)定位,他們的唯一工作就是幫你就業(yè)。你怎能不愛上這個(gè)地方?如果你覺得在大學(xué)求職中心里面的人是傻子,那很可能是因?yàn)槟愀静恢雷约涸诟墒裁础?/p>
Develop a strong sense of self by 13)dissing colleges that reject you. Happy people have a moredurable sense of self and aren't as 14)buffeted by outside events. When bad things happen, don't take it personally. This is how the most successful business people bounce back quicklyfrom setbacks.
第十三,增強(qiáng)自我意識(shí),敢于鄙視那些沒有錄取你的大學(xué)?？鞓返娜藫碛懈志玫淖晕乙庾R(shí),不容易被外界的事情擊倒。當(dāng)不幸的事發(fā)生,不要往心里面去。大多數(shù)商業(yè)成功人士就是這樣從挫折中迅速重拾自信的。
Get rid of your perfectionist 15)streak. It is rewarded in college, but it leads to insane jobstress and an inability to feel satisfied with your work.
第十四,戒掉完美主義的脾性。在大學(xué),力求完美會(huì)使你有所回報(bào),但在工作中則會(huì)產(chǎn)生令人抓狂的工作壓力,并使你無法對(duì)你的工作產(chǎn)生滿足感。
Work your way through college. Getting involved in student organizations count and so doesfeeding children in 16)Sierra Leone or sweeping floors in the chemistry building. Eachexperience you have can grow into something bigger. A great bullet on the resume for a juniorin college.
第十五,大學(xué)期間要積累工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)。投身到學(xué)生組織中行得通,到塞拉利昂救助饑荒中的兒童或在化學(xué)樓里清潔地板也行。你所經(jīng)歷的每一種體驗(yàn)都有聚沙成塔的作用。對(duì)于一個(gè)大學(xué)新生來說,這些舉動(dòng)在你的履歷上是光彩的一筆。
Make to-do lists. You can't achieve dreams if you don't have a plan to get there.
第十六,列出行動(dòng)清單。沒有計(jì)劃你是不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢(mèng)想的。
課外閱讀2
While their predecessors have amassed dozens of Nobel prizes and other intellectual accolades, the current crop of undergraduates is focusing on a rather less taxing competition – rear ofthe year.
當(dāng)前輩校友們多次斬獲諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)，取得令人刮目的學(xué)術(shù)成就時(shí)，如今的劍橋大學(xué)學(xué)生卻更熱衷于不太費(fèi)力的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)——評(píng)選“年度美臀”。
Female students at the university have submitted risque photographs of their behinds in thehope of clinching the title.
劍橋大學(xué)一些女生最近向一個(gè)獨(dú)立學(xué)生網(wǎng)站提交了她們的“美臀艷照”，以期奪得這一榮譽(yù)。
They insist it is innocent fun – and male classmates are quick to agree – but critics haveaccused them of harming the feminist cause and the university's reputation.
女生們堅(jiān)稱純粹是“為了好玩”，男生們很快表示肯定，但批評(píng)者認(rèn)為，這有損女權(quán)主義運(yùn)動(dòng)，并傷害了大學(xué)聲譽(yù)。
The pictures have been sent to independent student website The Tab by women usingpseudonyms and hiding their faces from the camera to protect their identities.
女生們使用假名把照片上提交給了獨(dú)立學(xué)生網(wǎng)站The Tab。為了保護(hù)個(gè)人隱私，拍攝照片時(shí)特意隱去了臉部。
Each gives a brief tongue-in-cheek biography with her photograph. While other students areusing the university library to revise for their impending exams, one going by the name ofMeredith stripped down to her underwear to be pictured on tiptoe taking a book from a shelf.
每張照片都附上半開玩笑的個(gè)人簡(jiǎn)介。當(dāng)其他學(xué)生都在用圖書館復(fù)習(xí)備戰(zhàn)即將到來的考試時(shí)，一名自稱“梅瑞狄斯”的女生身著三點(diǎn)式內(nèi)衣，拍了一張踮腳去書架上方拿書的照片。
Bella, who poses in frilly knickers and nude stilettos with her long dark hair tumbling down overa tight-fitting jumper, said: "The trick to looking good in knickers is to wear high heels."
另一張照片上，“貝拉”身穿鑲邊短褲，腳蹬裸色高跟鞋，黝黑的長發(fā)披肩，上身穿一件緊身套衫，她說：“穿著短褲還很美的絕招是腳蹬高跟鞋。”
Elizabeth, from Homerton College, whose alumni include actress Cherie Lunghi, claims her "firstsexual thoughts were of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
來自霍默頓學(xué)院的伊麗莎白聲稱，她的“第一次性想法是關(guān)于“忍者神龜”。女星切瑞•朗西也畢業(yè)于該所學(xué)院。
The entrants were found through "word of mouth" at the university and the photos sent inthrough anonymous email accounts.
參賽者是通過大學(xué)中的“口口相傳”找到的，照片以匿名方式通過電子郵件發(fā)送。
A university source added: "We can't stop what they're doing but it would be fair to say wedon't approve of it. It is not the kind of image we would want to project."
而校方人士表示：“我們無法阻止學(xué)生的行為，但可以說我們并不贊成這么做。這不是劍橋大學(xué)想發(fā)布的照片。”
Male students were generous in their praise, however. Comments posted online included: "High-definition pics from multiple angles would've provided a better comparison."
但學(xué)校的男生們卻樂于贊揚(yáng)此事，網(wǎng)上有評(píng)論稱“多角度拍攝的高清圖片會(huì)讓大家有個(gè)更好的比較。”
And "Leila" joined the debate herself, saying: "It's given me a bit of a confidence boost. Idon't think it's got anything to do with feminism really."
參賽的“利拉”自己為自己辯護(hù)說：“這讓我提升了自信。我真不認(rèn)為這和女權(quán)主義有什么關(guān)系。”
