In an essay entitled “Making It in America”, the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated: The average mill has only two employees today,” a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”

在一篇名为(entitled)《成功（make it）在美国》的文章中，作者亚当·戴维森讲述(relate)了这样一个源自棉花出产国的笑话，笑话是关于现代纺织(textile)作坊(mill)已高度自动化(automate)：现如今，一家普通作坊里只有两名员工，“一个人和一条狗，人在作坊里是为了喂狗，狗在作坊里是为了使人远离(away from)机器。”

Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign workers.

最近出现了很多(a number of)类似戴维森所写的文章，它们都表明了这样一种看法(make a point)：之所以失业人数(unemployment)居高难下(stubbornly high)和中产阶级(middle-class)收入(income)持续下降，原因是全球化与信息技术革命已经取得了诸多进步，它们使得机器和国外员工在取代(replace .. with)本国劳动力(labor)方面比以往任何时候都要迅速。

In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle. But, today, average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t, when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra — their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.

以往，具有一般技术、从事一般工作的员工可以赚得(earn)普通的生活。但现如今，普通人才正式地过时了(officially)。继续普通无法再让你过上以前的生活，其原因是当下更多的雇主可以用(have access to)比普通还要低廉的价格，来雇佣国外员工，购买机器人(robotics)和软件(software)，实现自动化(automation)，获得天才(genus)。因此，每个人都需要挖掘身上额外的东西-来让他们做出独特的、有价值的贡献，这种贡献会让他们脱颖而出(stand out), 不管他们身处什么工作领域(field of employment)。

Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there’s been an acceleration. As Davidson notes, “In the 10 years ending in 2009, (U.S.) factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs — about 6 million in total —disappeared.”

确实，新科技在过去、现在和将来都在“吞噬”工作岗位，但这种“吞噬”速度已经提高了。正如戴维森所指出(note)：“（美国）工厂裁员(shed workers)速度是如此之快，以至于从1999到2009十年间裁员人数超过了之前70年新增员工人数的总和；大约有1/3的制造业工作岗位——总约600万——消失了。

There will always be changed —new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution, the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.

未来，改变会一直存在——新工作、新产品和新服务。但我们肯定(know for sure)的一件事情是：随着全球化和信息技术革命所取得的每一个进步，那些最好的工作都将需要劳动者们接受更多、更好的教育，以使他们优于普通员工。

In a world where average is officially over, there are many things we need to do to support

employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I. Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.

生活在普通人才已正式过时的世界中，我们有很多的事情需要做来扶持就业(employment)，但其中最重要的是为21世纪通过某种“士兵教育促就业法案（于1944年通过）”，以确保每个美国人都有机会（have access to）接受“后高中”教育。

A century ago, the immigrants from across the Atlantic include settlers and sojourners. Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay. Between 1908 and 1915, and 7 million people arrived while about 2 million departed. About a quarter of all Italian immigrants, for example, eventually returned to Italy for goo d. They even had an affectionate nickname, “uccelli di passaggio”, birds of passage.

一个世纪以前，横渡大西洋的移民(immigrant)既包括定居者(settler)，也包括旅居者(sojourner)。在这些一道(along with)而来的同乡们(folks)当中，有很多人指望(look to)在美国永久安家，但也有那些人无意(have no intention to)在美国定居。在1908到1915年间，共有七百万人来到美国，但其中有两百万人没有留下来。举个例子，当时大约1/4的意大利移民最终(eventually)永久性地(for good)返回到了意大利。人们给他们起了一个亲密的(affectionate)绰号，“uccelli di passaggio”，意为“候鸟”。

Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants. We divide newcomers into two categories: legal or illegal, good or bad. We hail them as Americans in the making, or brand them as aliens fit for deportation. That framework has contributed mightily our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it. We don’t need more categories, but we need to cha nge the way we think about categories. We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal. To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage, those living and thriving in the gray areas. We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.

相比过去，我们今天对待移民太过苛刻(be rigid about)。我们把新来的移民划分为两类(category)：合法的(legal)或非法的(illegal)，好的或劣的。我们或是在他们搞建设(making)时招呼(hail)他们为自己人，或是在他们足够被驱逐(deportation)时称他们为外国人(alien)。这种政策框架(framework)在很大程度上致使我们的移民体制(system)千疮百孔，并使得在改革(fix)移民体制方面陷入长期的政治瘫痪(paralysis)。我们不是需要更多的移民类别，而是需要改变我们对移民类别的思考方式。我们也不需要着眼于对合法或非法移民进行严格的界定(definition)。首先，我们可以承认新的“候鸟”，承认那些在灰色地带生存并发展得不错(thrive)的那些人。到那时，我们才有可能着手解决诸多移民难题(challenge)。

Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, entrepreneurs, engineers, home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas. They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them. They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.

现今的“候鸟”当中有庄家收获工们、小提琴家(violinist)们、建筑(construction)工人们、企业家(entrepreneur)们、工程师们、家庭医疗保健(health-care)助理们、物理学家(physicist)们。工作流动、追逐金钱和各种理念驱使着(drive)精力充沛的(energetic)他们参与到全球经济。他们比较喜欢随着机会的召唤进行迁移，他们能够做到在一处工作，在另一处安家。

With or without permission, they straddle laws, jurisdictions and identities with ease. We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without

committing themselves to staying forever. We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.

不管有没有得到许可，他们都已轻而易举地(at ease)跨越了(straddle)法律、审判(juridiction)和身份(identity)的界限。我们需要他们把美国认作(imagine .. as )可以暂时(for a while)进行生产和收获(productive)的地方，而不是让他们努力在此永久定居。我们需要他们感觉到美国和他们的祖国都是他们的家，让他们觉得在两个国家都能够受到人们的尊敬。Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle. Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes, including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.

为容纳(accommodate)这批新兴流动人群，这场移民战斗的双方都需要采用新的态度。不着眼于文化战争的逻辑正确与否就意味着要开辟中间地带，并认识到处理当下的移民事务需要采用多条途径，获得多种成果, 而其中的一些成果是现存(existing)体制难以合法实现(accomplish)的。

Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react, we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick, hard-wired responses.

科学家已经发现：虽然我们易于(be prone to)快速地(snap)做出过度反应(overreaction)，但是如果我们花点时间考虑一下我们可能做出的反应(react)，就可以减少，甚至是消除(eliminate) 我们快速、本能的(hard-wired)反应所带来的消极影响。

Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds. But we need more time to assess other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is sociable, studies show, we need at least a minute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality, like neuroticism or open-mindedness.

快速决策可以是身体重要的防御(defense)机制(mechanism)；如果我们是在判断某人是否是个危险人物，我们的大脑和身体会自发地在几毫秒钟内做出快速反应。但是，若要评定(assess)其它因素，我们则需要更多的时间。研究表明：要准确地辨别(tell)某人是否是好交际的(sociable)，我们至少需要一分钟的时间，五分钟会更好(preferable)。想要评判复杂的(complex)性格(personality)方面(aspect)，如或是神经过敏或是思想开阔等，就更要花上一段时间了。

But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal realm. Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating. We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing. Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.

另外，以应对快速刺激(stimuli)而做出的快速决策并不专属于(exclusive)人际(interpersonal)范畴(realm)。多伦多大学的心理学家们曾发现：即便阅读和吃东西没什么关系，用短短几毫秒的时间看一家快餐店的标志(logo)还是会刺激(prime)人们提高20％的阅读速度。我们一想到快餐，就无意识地(unconsciously)联想起快速和急躁，并把这些一时产生的情绪(impulse)带

到我们正在做的任何事情当中。接触(exposed to)一闪而过(flash)快餐标志的受试者(subject)们也往往会认为一段音乐持续时间的太长了。

Yet we can reverse such influences. If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face (one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling), we can take a moment before buying. If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants, we can help screeners understand their biases-or hire outside screeners.

然而，我们可以完全改变(reverse)这些影响。如果我们知道看见笑脸相迎会让我在选择消费产品或房屋时做出过度的反应(这是销售代理[representative]和房产中介[real estate agent]总是面带笑容的一个很好的理由)，我们可以在购买之前等上一段时间。如果我们知道女性招聘官们(job screener)更加有可能拒绝(reject)有魅力的女性求职者(applicant)，我们就可以帮助招聘们认识到他们的偏见(bias)，——亦或是雇佣独立招聘官们。

John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly “thin slice” infor mation reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in “thick sliced” long-term study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation; two days, not two seconds.

婚姻专家约翰·戈特曼解释说：我们的快速反应只有基于(ground)对“大块”信息进行长期的(long-term)研究之后，我们才能信赖我们快速汲取的“薄片”信息。在戈特曼非常想要评定两个人将是否会共同生活，他会为了进行更长期的评价工作(evaluation)而邀请他们去他岛上的修养之所(retreat)呆上是两天，而不是两秒。

Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals: dogs can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes. But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term. Although technology might change the way we react, it hasn’t changed our natur e. We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.

我们具有通过暂停来减缓(mute)我们本能反应的能力，这使我们有别于(differentiate .. from)动物: 狗智能断断续续地(intermittently)思考未来，思考时间只能持续几分钟。但是，从个人历史的角度来看，我们每天花了12%的时间思索(contemplate)更长远的事情。尽管科技可能了改变我们反应的方式，但科技还没有改变我们的天性。我们仍然有富于想象的能力(capacity)，让我们不受诱惑(temptation)的影响(rise above: 克服，不受..的影响)，并完全改变高速的发展趋势(trend)。

Europe is not a gender-equality heaven. In particular, the corporate workplace will never be completely family-friendly until women are part of senior management decisions, and Europe’s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male. Indeed, women hold only 14 percent of positions on Europe corporate boards.

欧洲并不是男女平等的天堂。企业的(corporate)职场(workplace)尤其如此，如果女性不参与高层(senior management)决策，企业职场将永远不会彻底地为家庭着想，但是绝大多数的欧洲顶级企业管理(corporate-governance)职位仍然是被男性所占据。实际上，在欧企董事会中，女性董事所占比例仅为14％。

The Europe Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a

certain proportion of women — up to 60 percent. This proposed mandate was born of frustration. Last year, Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action. Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of 40 percent female board membership. But her appeal was considered a failure: only 24 companies took it up.

现在，欧盟正在考虑建立法律(legislation)来强制企业董事会维持一定的女性比例(proportion)，这一比例会高达60％。提议(propose)这样的法令(mandate)实则是出于(be born of)沮丧(frustration)之举。去年，欧委会副主席维维亚娜·雷丁发布(issue)了一项自愿(voluntary)采取行动的号召。雷丁邀请各家企业报名参加(sign up for)性别平衡目标——董事会女性成员(membership) 比例达到40％。但是，她的呼吁(appeal)被认为是失败之举：仅有24家公司接受(take up)了她的号召。

Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate ladder fairly as they balance work and family?

在女性平衡工作和家庭的同时，我们还需要采用定额(quota)的方式来确保她们持续地、公平地攀爬职场的阶梯么？

“P ersonally, I don’t like quotas,” Reding said recently. “But I like what the quotas do.” Quotas get action: they “open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,” according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.

最近，雷丁说到：“就个人而言(personally)，我不喜欢定额。但是，我喜欢定额达能办到的事情。”定额让人们采取行动，按照雷丁的说法，它们“开辟了平等之路，突破(break through)了玻璃天花板(玻璃天花板是指企业里下层员工的天花板和上层员工的地板，象征企业里限制女性、少数民族等体群难以晋升到高级职位的障碍)”。法国和其他的一些国家制定了具有法律约束力(binding)条款(provision)让女性进入企业高级职位，这些国家已经看到了上面提到的结果。

I understand Reding’s reluctance —and her frustration. I don’t like quotas either; they run counter to my belief in meritocracy, government by the capable. But, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.

我理解雷丁的勉强(reluctance)和她的沮丧。我也不喜欢各种定额，它们其与我精英管理(meritocracy)(能者管理)的理念背道而驰(run counter to)。但是，在人们考虑到实现完美的(ideal)精英管理的制度会遇到诸多障碍(obstacles)时，就必须暂时通过法令来获得一个更加公平的世界，确实看起来是这样的。

After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as well as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position — no matter how much “soft pressure” is put upon them. When women do break through to th e summit of corporate power —as, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook —they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.

要知道，四十年的证据现在已经表明：不管受到多大“软压力”，欧洲和美国的企业一直在避开(evade) 将女性招聘为精英或晋升(promotion)到高层。当女性确实有所突破，站到了企业权利的制高点(summit) ——比方说，正如脸谱公司的谢丽尔·桑德博格最近所做到的，这时她们会引起非常大的(massive)关注，原因恰恰就是她们是不合规则的例外。

If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women---whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers--and all families, Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.

如果有合适的(appropriate)的公共政策可以来所有的女性(不管是首席执行官们，还是她们孩子的看护人[caregiver]们)，也来帮助所有的家庭，Sandberg就会和其他生活在公平社会那些有能力的人一样，不会成为有价值的新闻。

2010年考研英语二真题全文翻译超详解析

2010 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语（二）试题答案与解析 Section I Use of English 一、文章题材结构分析 本文是取材于新闻报道，叙述了猪流感的爆发，产生的严重影响以及政府采取的针对性措施。首段和第二段简 述了猪流感的爆发引起世界各国的重视。第三段引用专家的观点，认为瘟疫并不严重。第四段和第五段以墨西哥及 美国的情况为例，说明了猪流感的严重性和致命性。第六段叙述了联邦政府针对猪流感的具体措施。 二、试题解析 1.【答案】D 【解析】上文提到“…was declared a global epidemic…”，根据declare 的逻辑（“宣布为”），可知应该选D 项 designated“命名，制定”，而不是C 项commented“评论”，这是典型的近义词复现题目。2．【答案】C 【解析】本题目可依据“句意”找到意思线索，选出答案，难度在于出处句是个长难句。本句的理解应该抓住alert、 meeting 和a sharp rise 三者的关系，根据after a sharp rise 可知是rise（“病例数的增加”）是meeting（“日内瓦专家 会议”）的原因，由此可推导出alert 并非是meeting 的原因，而是结果，即meeting 使得alert 升级。根据上述分析 可以排除B、D 选项，B 项activated“激活，激起”，D 项“促使，引起”，此两项的选择都在讲alert 导致了meeting 的召开。而C 项followed 意思是“紧随，跟在……之后”，体现出after 的逻辑，完全满足本句rise 之后是meeting， meeting 之后是alert 的逻辑，所以是正确项。而A 项proceeded“继续”，属不及物动词，不可接宾语，用法和逻辑 用在此处都不合适。 3．【答案】B 【解析】本题目应该关注并列连词and，从并列呼应来看：空格后的表达in Britain…对应前面的in Australia， 所以空格处rising _____ 应该对应a sharp rise in cases（“病例数的剧增”），因此空格处是“数量”的逻辑才对。A 项 digits“（阿拉伯）数字”，不表示数量，不能与rising 形成搭配；C 项amounts“数量”，常修饰不可数名词（此处指 的是cases，可数名词）；D 项sums“金额，款项”，不能用于表达“病例数”。B 项numbers “数量”，修饰可数名词（如： large numbers of cases 大量的病例），符合题意。 4．【答案】A 【解析】此处句子开头的“But”是重要的逻辑线索，与上文意思（第二段）形成对比反差。上文的关键性表达 如“heightened alert”、“emergency meeting”和“a sharp rise in cases”都在讲述猪流感的严重性，所以根据But 和in

Also，some research suggests that the 8 for rising rates of mortality，mental-health problems，and addicting9 poorly-educated middle-aged people is shortage of well-paid jobs. Perhaps this is why many 10 the agonizing dullness of a jobless future. But it doesn’t 11 follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with unease.

Today，the 15 of work may be a bit overblown. “Many jobs are boring，degrading，unhealthy，and a waste of human potential，” says John Danaher，a lecturer at the National University of Ireland in Galway. These days，because leisure time is relatively 16 for most workers，people use their free time to counterbalance the intellectual and emotional 17 of their jobs. “When I come home from a hard day’s work，I often feel 18 ，” Danahe r says，adding，“In a world in which I don’t have to work，I might feel rather different”—perhaps different enough to throw himself 19 a hobby or a passion project with the intensity usually reserved for 20 matters. 1.
