36 To Be Content with One's Lot乐天知命
（be content with 对…满足；lot n. 命运）
1. Peter Hessler described two lifestyles and asked his Chinese students to choose the one they preferred, either a very long yet<但是> ultimately
1、彼得?赫斯勒请他的中国学生在以下两种生活方式中选择其一：一种是平庸却长寿，另一种是只能活24年却享乐无比。那些20岁左右的学生们几乎都选择了第一种生活。彼得十分惊讶，在他看来美国青年并不会如此一致地选择平庸但长寿的生活（可译为：这令彼得十分惊讶，因为以他对美国青年的经验，他认定他们不会选择平庸但长寿的生活）。
2. The Chinese traditionally think an uneventful, but long life is better than a short life full of fun and adventure. There's even an idiom<习语>for the traditional Chinese attitude, "A good death is worse than a lazy life." This saying<谚语>reveals<显示，揭露>a deeply ingrained
2、无聊无趣但天长地久地活下去，好过冒生命之险求得享乐的短命，这似乎是中国传统的价值观(直译为：具有传统观念的中国人认为：平凡但长寿要好过沉浸于快乐与冒险的短寿)。有习语为证：“好死不如赖活着。”它透露出根深蒂固的乐观与宿命。与英雄产生于悲剧的西方价值观完全不同(It's nothing at all；at all 根本；完全，用于否定句中)。
3. 30 years ago, at the beginning of China's reform<改革>, a group of intellectuals<知识分子>believed the acceptance of one's lot would hurt the growth of the People's Republic<中华民族>. The way they saw it, the Westerners' "seafaring culture<航海文化，蓝色文明>" had allowed them to expand<扩展，扩张> and advance while China's "agrarian culture<耕地文化，黄土文化>" had shut the country off from the world and kept it focusing on itself.
3、30年前改革开放之初，一批知识分子认为乐天知命、安于本分的传统观念有害于中华民族的发展。在他们看来，西方的“蓝色文明”使其开放、进步；（allow sb. to do sth. 允许某人作某事）而中国的“黄土文化”使之封闭、守旧（shut off 切断；keep
doing sth. 一直做某事；focus on 集中于）。
4. Researching the unique<独特的，独一无二的> traits
a nationality<民族> can reveal a number of interesting features<特色，特征，特点>. David N. Keightly is a professor of history at the University of California Berkeley and he made a study of the unique attitudes of the Chinese people. He believed their acceptance of fate originates from<来自，起源于>a geographical<地理的>standpoint<立场，观点>. The birthplace of the Chinese civilization<文明> is the Central Plains where the climate has less variation<变化> than the Mediterranean<地中海>or the Near East. China's two main rivers, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, both run from West to East, and don't change much in latitude<纬度>. This means the cultivation
4、研究一个民族的某种特性是件有趣的事情（直译为：研究一个民族的特质可以揭示许多有趣的事情）。美国加州大学伯克利分校的历史学教授大卫?凯特利研究分析了中国人乐天知命的特性。他认为这种特性源于中国特有的地理环境。与地中海和近东地区相比，中国文明的发祥地中原地区的气候类型更加有规律可寻(直译为：中国文明的发源地是在中原地区，这里的气候与地中海和近东地区相比，更加缺少变化)。中国的两大主要河流——黄河和长江——都是自西向东流，而且它们的纬度变化也不大，这意味着河流上游和下游所种植的农作物类型差别不大。因此就缺乏了相互贸易的动力，中国的古代文明自然就成为农耕文明（直译为：上下游“耕地文明”的一致性减少了相互贸易的动力及人们向更远处旅行的必要）。而那些很少旅行的人们就没有可能去交流思想和技术，封闭由此产生（直译为：因此交流思想和技术受到限制，中国古文化趋于在自身势力范围内自我封闭）。
5. According to<根据> Professor Keightly's theory, the climate of ancient China was very good. This would create a sense of optimism
people. Keightley says, "I believe, the cultures that engage in<从事于，参加，忙于>ancestor worship are going to be conservative<保守的> cultures. They're not going to find new things attractive because, that will be a challenge<挑战>to the ancestors. There's no room in this culture for a skeptic
5、凯特利教授相信中国古代的气候良好（直译为：根据凯特利教授的理论，中国古代的气候良好），因此生成了中国文化中的那种乐观主义。相比较之下，无论是地中海还是近东，都面临着更多的自然灾害，因而少了些乐观。除了地理环境对文化发展的影响(直译为：除了影响文化发展的地理因素外)，凯特利教授认为中国人对祖先的崇拜也极深地影响了中国人的特性。凯特利教授相信：“这种祖先崇拜的文化，是一种保守的文化。你不会去发现新的有吸引力的东西，因为那是对祖先的挑战。中国文化中没有怀疑的余地。”
6. Chinese people tend to want to return to the past, while Westerners are always looking towards<期待> the future. By comparing their lives to the past, it creates an unlimited<无限的> feeling of satisfaction. With no other desires<欲望，要求>, people in ancient times had the opportunity to coexist
6、中国人趋向于回顾过去（tend to do sth.倾向于做某事; want to do sth. 想要做某事），而西方人更多的是展望未来(look towards 期待)。与过去相比较，就会对当下的生活生出无限的满足感。无欲无求，在古代，人们就能够定下心来与自然和谐相处，努力达到天人合一的境界。这种自我满足以及与自然和谐共存，使中国人产生出乐观的生活态度。
7. The Westerners have the opposite approach<相反的看法> because they fear the uncertainty of the future. This leads them to work hard in changing their current situation<现状>in the hope of<希望>making tomorrow better than today. During this process, it's almost impossible to abide by<遵守，接受>the rules of the natural world or human nature. The idea of being content with one's lot is hard-pressed<处于困境> to take hold<生根>in this sort of environment.
7、西方人的观点与此相反，源于对未来的不确定感，这促使他们努力改变现状（lead sb. to do sth. 引导某人做某事），以期明天比今天更好。在努力的过程中难免会违反自然规律和扭曲人性（直译为：在努力的过程中，遵守自然规律和人性几乎是不可能的）。乐天知命、安于本分的价值观在这样的文化氛围中是难以形成的（直译为：满
足于自身命运的价值观在这样的文化氛围中是难于生根的）。
8. Over these past few decades<十年>, the ideas of the West and the East have practically been reversed<反转，颠倒>. The Chinese people have little choice but to drop the traditional idea of being content with one's lot if they want to improve their economic standing. They now emulate<模仿，尽力赶上>the West in opening up<开创> and becoming more enterprising
8、有趣的是，近几十年来，至少在表面上，东西方似乎呈现出一种互换的态势。中国人因为经济的落后，不得不抛弃传统的乐天知命观，学习西方的进取和开拓（直译为：如果中国人想要改善他们的经济状况，不放弃传统的乐天知命观，他们可选择的道路不多，现在他们开始效仿西方人的开创和进取精神）。不幸的是，在尽全力追逐物质主义的过程中，环境遭到破坏。社会财富分配不均衡，人们不得不承受巨大的心理压力。这令人意识到老袓宗“乐天知命”的价值观念自有其道理。西方人在数百年的无休止进取后，弊端丛生，如今也纷纷转向东方的价值观寻找出路。
9. Maybe there's something in the text-message<短信> that's doing the rounds on the Internet, when it says, "Once you're 50, pretty and ugly look the same. Once you're 60, high-rank and low-rank look the same. Once you’ re 70, lots of money and little money look the same. Once you're 80, men and women look the same. Once you're 90, living and dying look the same."
9、最近有一则网上流行的短信：“到了五十，好看难看一个样；到了六十，官大官小一个样；到了七十，钱多钱少一个样；到了八十，男的女的一个样；到了九十，活的死的一个样。”
10. In a way, the message, pretty much, suggests<暗示，建议> that, even though China exported<出口> computers to America and Chinese people have traded in their bikes for BMWs, the past thirty years of reform hasn't changed our traditions and, the idea of being content with one's lot has never left our bones.
10、在某种程度上，这条短信似乎暗示：改革开放30年，尽管中国生产的电脑已经卖到了美国，并且中国人已经丢掉自行车，开起了宝马（trade in…for… 以旧换新），但仍没有改变他们的传统，乐天知命的价值观仍在骨子里，不曾磨灭。

4 How to Negotiate<谈判> with Americans 如何与美国人谈判 1.美国是一个富有吸引力的市场。它给世界带来的诸如“股东价值”和“首次公开募股”的商业文化近几年来一直引导着商业思想，并且在未来几年内还将保持。但是无论是谁，想要在美国取得成功，都必须记住游戏的规则。 2.美国的商业，在《纽约，纽约》这首歌的歌词中是这样描述的：“如果你能在这里取得成功，你就能在别的任何地方取得成功!” 但是愉快的做生意的方法是绝对不够的。虽然在美国的商业沟通是愉快的和自在的，但是它同时也因为不讲情面而成为焦点。
3.沟通是美国人与生俱来的才能。双方谈判的时候，闲聊和微笑是很重要的。美国人比英国人更幽默也更直接。（that 引导定语从句，可以译为：美国人自由地使用幽默感，这种幽默感比英国人更加直接。）如果你和美国人谈话，要很放松并且要准备很多笑话来吸引听众的注意力。 4.美国人不拘礼节。商业伙伴不会在他们的名片上写他们的毕业院校。会议期间会提供一些用塑料瓶或盒子装的三明治和饮料。你的生意伙伴很可能会在办公室随意地做一些事情或聊他们的家庭。
5.“时间就是金钱”这种态度在美国的生意场上的影响力比其他任何领域都强。在简单的寒暄之后，美国谈判双方很快地切入主题，甚至社会上举办的联欢会都会被利用来讨论生意。 6.美国人做生意很注重实效，他们就是想赢。相比之下，发展与商业伙伴的个人关系（与得到的谈判结果相比）就不是那么重要了。 7.而且美国谈判者想最快地获得结果。金融情况时刻受到关注（或直译为“财务业绩每季上报”），这对在短期内保证收益很重要。因此，许多美国契约在前言里面包含“时间就是生命”这一条款。所以美国人谈判很性急，但这不应该被理解为无礼，而是因为“时间就是金钱”的理念在起作用。
