Interpretation of Contracts
Ideally, a contract between two parties is the product of painstakingly thorough and deliberate effort. Yet even though the parties may try to be as precise as possible in developing an agreement, questions may arise as they begin to perform the terms of the contract, questions about the meaning of terms in the contract, what the parties’ original intentions were, and whether certain conditions included in the contract have been met. If the parties themselves can’t resolve their differences, the court is called in to settle them. The court’s first task is to determine if it can resolve the dispute. Once it decides that it can, the court must then determine what criteria it will use to do so.
Intention of the Parties
A contract is to be enforced according to its terms. A court cannot remake or rewrite the contract of the parties under the pretense of interpreting it. If there is a dispute as to the meaning of a contract, the court examines the contract to determine what the parties intended. The court will first apply the objective theory approach. That is, the court will first ask what a reasonable third person would believe the parties intended when they entered into the contract. A party cannot claim that secretly something else was intended. Such secret or subjective intent cannot be proven.
The use of the objective intent standard means that an unambiguous contract must be interpreted as having been written. It cannot be given any other meaning that one party thinks it has.
A Totally and a Partially Integrated Contract
A totally integrated contract is one that exists on the face of the paper. Everything that you need to know about that contract and its performance is written on that piece of paper. The parties don’t ha ve any additional decisions to make, there’s no need for clarification.
As a result, the courts do not allow any other evidence to be presented that would show a difference from what the writing itself says.
A partially integrated contract is intended to be the final agreement, but is incomplete.
When the court is looking at a partially integrated contract, they’re looking at an agreement that is not the complete agreement of the parties, either by choice, or by omission of some sort. The court will then allow evidence to be presented by either party or by both parties. This evidence can either fill in the gaps that were left in the original writing, or you can even use oral evidence or other evidence to show additions to the contract – other things that w eren’t necessarily included, so long as those additions do not change what the writing says.
Rules of Interpretation
The parties to a contract may define the words and terms used in their contract. If the language in a contract is ambiguous, the courts will attempt to interpret the contract in accordance with the intent of the parties. If the subjective intent of the parties fails to provide a clear interpretation, the courts will use an objective theory approach to interpret a contract. Rules of interpretation include:
1.Ordinary words are given their usual meaning according to the dictionary.
2.Technical words are given their technical meaning, unless a different meaning is clearly intended.
Testimony from expert witnesses is often necessary to determine the precise meaning of technical words.
3.Specific terms are presumed to qualify general terms. That is, specific terms are given greater
weight than general language.
4.Where a preprinted form contract is used, typed words in a contract prevail over preprinted words.
Handwritten words prevail over both preprinted and typed words.
5.Where a term or promise has several possible meanings, it will be interpreted against the party who
drafted the contract.
?Course of Dealing and Usage of Trade
When parties have different interpretations of the terms and phrases in a contract, the courts usually look at industries, or conduct between the parties. The court will assume that the course of prior dealing between the parties and the usage of trade were taken into account when the agreement was phrased.
A course of dealing is a sequence of previous conduct and communications between the parties that
may fairly be regarded as establishing a common basis of understanding for interpreting their expressions and agreement. Usage of trade is defined as any practice or method of dealing regularity observed and followed in a place, vocation, or trade.
Conditions
When the execution of an agreement is made conditional on something else, the court usually rules that the contract is not binding.
Conditions may be precedent, concurrent, or subsequent to the obligation to perform.
?Condition precedent means the condition that must occur before a party has an obligation to perform. For example, a contract that promises to replace or repair a defective computer establishes a condition precedent. Only if the computer is defective is there an obligation to repair or replace it.
?Condition concurrent is one that requires both parties to carry out some performance at the same time. The most common condition concurrent is one that implies in all sales transactions: the buyer must pay and the seller must deliver the promised property or services at the same time.
Of course, the parties may agree otherwise, but in the absence of such an agreement, payment is due at the time that delivery is due.
?Condition subsequent is one that excuses performance if an event takes place. For instance, many international contracts provide that an obligation to perform will come to an end if war is declared between the countries where the parties are located.
Parole Evidence Rule
The parole evidence rule states that when a contract has been put in writing as the final expression of agreement between the parties, parol evidence – evidence of an oral agreement made prior to or at the time of signing the written agreement—cannot be presented in court to change or add to the terms of the written contract, which represents the parties’ final and complete statement of their agreement. In other words, neither party can say that he or she agreed to do something other than what was included in the written contract. The purpose of this rule is to preserve the credibility and value of written contracts, especially in cases in which the parties appear to have intended something in writing as a final expression of their agreement.
However, there are some exceptions that parol evidence may be admitted in court.
1) If a contract isn’t totally integrated, outside evidence is allowed to fill the gaps.
2) The spoken words explain the ambiguity in the written contract.
3) If the oral testimony corrects an obvious clerical or typographical error, the court can reform the contract
to reflect the correction.
4) If a condition necessary to the existence of the contract never occurred, there should be some extraneous
evidence allowed as an explanation.
5) If fraud, forgery, illegality, mistake, or misrepresentation occurred,
6) Oral proof can be presented in the court to show that the parties subsequently modified the contract or
made a new agreement.
In a perfect world, there would be no need for judicial interpretation. Contracts would be black and white, and there would be no doubt about what they meant. Unfortunately, ours is not a perfect world. Even the most carefully assembled contracts are often plagued by problems of ambiguity and mistake, and so it falls to the courts to provide interpretation. As w e’ve seen, this is not done in a random, haphazard way. First, the court determines how the contract is to be interpreted or explained, based on whether it is totally or partially integrated. Once it makes this determination, the court has a variety of interpretative tools which it applies in a methodical, systematic manner, tools it uses to determine what the parties to an agreement actually had in mind when they entered into their contract. The most fundamental, overriding standard applied its usually referred to in legal terms as the objective theory approach. As the word objective implies, the emphasis here is on finding an interpretation that would be reasonable to an objective person. The objective approach itself fall into two basic areas. The first of these, and the most common is the standard of general usage. It seeks to establish what a reasonable person who knew all the facts and circumstances would conclude.
In the case of contracts whose execution depends on the language used in a particular locale or industry, the court applies an approach called the standard of limited usage. Beyond the question of interpretative approaches, the court looks at some very specific issues. One of these concerns the matter of conditions. Were there conditions that had to be satisfied for the contract to be valid? Another area the court may look into is what’s called the course of conduct and usages of trade. In other works, how have the parties dealt with each other in previous transactions and what are the customary practices in their industry?
The point of all this is that the court looks at contract interpretation disputes in as dispassionate and rational a manner as possible. It uses whatever tools and approaches are necessary to make a determination that reflects what the parties intended at the time the contract was created. Of course, there’s still no replacement for thorough contract prepar ation by the parties themselves. The court’s wisdom and rationality notwithstanding, a good working relationship and a clear, carefully drawn contract remain the best way to avoid unforeseen legal entanglements.
Case Problems for Discussion:
1.Buying a car had always been somewhat traumatic for Arthur Sanderson. The problem wasn’t just that
he knew next to nothing about automotive mechanics. What really bothered Sanderson was that he always felt intimidated by the sales people, which is why he was so pleasantly surprised in his dealings with Meg Crandall, who never pressured him to move up to the most expensive models, or to add options he did n’t want. She really knew how to make you feel comfortable, and Arthur Sanderson felt like he could trust her.
Because of that trust, Sanderson bought a car from Meg Crandall, and he relied on her statement that the tires would be upgraded to all-weather steel-belted radials. Unfortunately, though, when the car was delivered, it was still equipped with the standard tires. Initially, Sanderson was more annoyed than worried. He wasn’t happy about the misunderstanding, but he figured it would be easily resolved.
However, when he took the car back to the dealer, he found out the problem was more serious than he’d anticipated. Not only had Meg Crandall suddenly resigned two days earlier, leaving Sanderson without anyone to substantiate his story, but the sales manager insisted that the dealership could not provide any upgrades that weren’t specifically written into the o riginal sales contract. The contract simply said ―New Tires‖ to be added. It said nothing about the kind of tires, or whether there would be an additional charge. If this dispute led to an impasse, and end up in court, how should the contract be interpreted? Is it partially or totally integrated?
2.Charles Rambauer signed a contract with a fledging theatre group, which entitled him to a lifetime
membership in exchange for a payment of 5,000 dollars. The contract stipulated that there would be a four-month trial period, during which Rambauer would have the option of canceling the agreement and getting his money back less $50/month. During the second month of the four month trial period, Charles Rambauer was killed in an automobile accident. When his family found out about the details of the agreement between Rambauer and the theatre group, they attempted to recover $4,900 from the theatre. The management team was sympathetic to Rambauer’s family, but was in desperate need of cash to keep their new enterpr ise afloat. So they decided to contest the family’s position, and fight to keep the money.
Can the theatre keep the money? Why or why not?
3.The Wellington Mining Company reached an agreement with a West German manufacturer to deliver 300
tons of coal. Since this was the first international business deal of its kind for both companies, neither party paid much attention to the precise definition of the word ―ton‖. When the coal was delivered, an immediate dispute arose. It seemed that the word ton meant one thing to the American exporters, who were using the American ―short‖ ton as their standard, and something quite different to the German company, which was using the European metric standard. The result was that the Germans did not receive the amount of coal they had expected. When the matter couldn’t be settled amicably, the German firm sought legal remedies.
How would the court determine which definition of ton should prevail?
4.Richard Adderly had long been interested in purchasing a sail boat, but was put off by what he
considered to be the exorbitant slip fees at his local marina. He finally concluded that the only way he could afford a boat would be to find a marina that offered discount rates. So, he negotiated an agreement in which he agreed to buy a sailboat belonging to Max Samuelson, at a price of four hundred dollars, provided that within the next two months, he could rent a slip in a marina which charged less than he local marina. Unfortunately, when he tried to rent space in another marina, Adderly learned that there was a one year waiting list, which meant that the only way he could take the boat was to store it at the more costly marina near his home. As a result, Adderly decided not to purchase the boat from Samuelson, and that’s where things began to unravel. Samuelson viewed Adderly’s promise to purchase the boat as an absolute promise to buy. They had reached an agreement and, according to his reasoning, they were both bound by that agreement.Which side would the court favor if this matter would go to the court?
摘要: 英国论文随着时代的发展, 使用简洁通俗的语言已成为现代商务英语, 尤其是商务英语信函的突出特点。本文从这一特点形成的根源简易英语运动出发, 分析了简易英语的定义, 遵循的原则, 最后在此基础上通过大量例证的对照比较, 总结了简易英语趋势在现代商务交际中的体现。 商务英语和法律英语一样, 通常被认为是充斥着技术性术语和诘屈聱牙语句的典型书面语。不可否认, 很长时间以来, 商务文书给人的印象确实如此。然而随着时代的发展, 这种情况已得到极大的改观, 商务交际用语渐趋简明易懂。使用简洁通俗的语言已成为现代商务英语的突出特点。我们可以比较一下下面的两句商务信函中的用语: 1. We beg respectfully to state that we are in receipt ofyour L/C in the amount of USD×××for which we thankyou. 2. We inform you that we have received your L/C forUSD×××. 可以看出, 这两句表达的意思完全相同, 但是第一句使用了beg respectfully to state, in receipt of, inthe amount of, 以及包括定语从句for which we thank you等表达极为繁杂的用语, 而第二句用语简洁明快, 但是它所包含的信息量较第一句而言没有丝毫的减少。现代商务英语正是提倡使用简单词语( plain words) , 而不用复杂的语句( complicated words) , 尤其是那些繁复老套的用语, 即我们所说的陈词滥调( cliché)。现代商务英语的这一显著特点, 其实与这些年来在英美等国出现的英语简化趋势, 尤其是在美国大张旗鼓推行的简易英语运动( Plain English Movement)有直接的联系。这一运动要求革除商业契约上的繁文缛节, 简化法律用语, 从而起到方便民众, 减少因繁复用语而引起不必要争端的作用。1978 年 3 月24 日, 当时的美国总统卡特更是签署了第12044 号行政命令, 要求联邦政府各部切实保证颁布的每项法令必须以简单易懂的英语撰写, 以便须依照有关法令办事的人都能看懂。这一法令理所当然受到普通老百姓的欢迎, 而简易英语运动在这一法令的推动之下也得到了更为蓬勃的开展[1]。 一、什么是“简易英语” 所谓简易英语( Plain English) , 美国学者考特兰?博维(Courtland Bovèe)和约翰?席尔( John Thill)认为简易英语是用简易的文字和结构写成的语句, 读者都能看懂, 很接近于我们的口语[2]。可见, “简易英语”是指书面表达中使用清晰正确的英语简明扼要而有效地传递信息。“简易英语”并不幼稚, 也并非过分简单化的英语。“简易英语”重视信息的传递。它并不堆积词藻, 而且不会不必要地使用行话、术语等难懂的表达。换句话说,“简易英语”彻底抛弃了繁文赘语和让人无所适从的表达。用“简易英语”书写的文件是为了让人们读懂, 因此所用的词语都是读者能够理解的。只要读者能够理解, “简易英语”用到技术性较强的专业术语也并非不可。比如,一篇医学学报上的论文面向的是医学专家, 使用专业术语是可以的, 因为这些读者能够理解。只要表达恰当, 这篇论文的语言仍然可被称为“简易英语”。当然, 如果这篇文章是出现在面向公众的通俗杂志上, 那么再包含很多专业术语就很可能出现普通读者无法理解的状况。这个时候, 只有使用普通大众能够理解的字眼那它才是“简易英语”。我们应该看到非常复杂的概念也是可以用“简易英语”加以解释的。许多法律文书, 比如合同和法令, 用“简易英语”改写后仍然能做到表达精确无误。 二、“简易英语”所遵循的原则 “简易英语”最重要的原则就是读者为先。即为读者着想, 考虑读者的需求。要“简易”, 就得好好考虑如下的问题:读者需要知道些什么? 他们对这个问题的理解程度如何? 怎样才能更好地把意思组织起来以便读者更好地理解? 要想有效传递你的信息, 首要的是要清楚什么样的人会阅读你写的东西。具体来讲, “简易英语”遵循如下的原则: (一)写作前做好规划起草文书之前, 首先得明确自己的写作目的。读者是谁? 他们对于所涉及的话题是非常了解, 了解一点还是一无所知? 他们想知道些什么? 找到这些问题的答案, 做到心中有数。一旦知道了读者是谁, 就应该尽可能从他们的角度来看问题, 来表达
如何写先进个人事迹 篇一：如何写先进事迹材料 如何写先进事迹材料 一般有两种情况：一是先进个人，如先进工作者、优秀党员、劳动模范等；一是先进集体或先进单位，如先进党支部、先进车间或科室，抗洪抢险先进集体等。无论是先进个人还是先进集体，他们的先进事迹，内容各不相同，因此要整理材料，不可能固定一个模式。一般来说，可大体从以下方面进行整理。 (1)要拟定恰当的标题。先进事迹材料的标题，有两部分内容必不可少，一是要写明先进个人姓名和先进集体的名称，使人一眼便看出是哪个人或哪个集体、哪个单位的先进事迹。二是要概括标明先进事迹的主要内容或材料的用途。例如《王鬃同志端正党风的先进事迹》、《关于评选张鬃同志为全国新长征突击手的材料》、《关于评选鬃处党支部为省直机关先进党支部的材料》等。 (2)正文。正文的开头，要写明先进个人的简要情况，包括：姓名、性别、年龄、工作单位、职务、是否党团员等。此外，还要写明有关单位准备授予他(她)什么荣誉称号，或给予哪种形式的奖励。对先进集体、先进单位，要根据其先进事迹的主要内容，寥寥数语即应写明，不须用更多的文字。 然后，要写先进人物或先进集体的主要事迹。这部分内容是全篇材料
的主体，要下功夫写好，关键是要写得既具体，又不繁琐；既概括，又不抽象；既生动形象，又很实在。总之，就是要写得很有说服力，让人一看便可得出够得上先进的结论。比如，写一位端正党风先进人物的事迹材料，就应当着重写这位同志在发扬党的优良传统和作风方面都有哪些突出的先进事迹，在同不正之风作斗争中有哪些突出的表现。又如，写一位搞改革的先进人物的事迹材料，就应当着力写这位同志是从哪些方面进行改革的，已经取得了哪些突出的成果，特别是改革前后的．经济效益或社会效益都有了哪些明显的变化。在写这些先进事迹时，无论是先进个人还是先进集体的，都应选取那些具有代表性的具体事实来说明。必要时还可运用一些数字，以增强先进事迹材料的说服力。 为了使先进事迹的内容眉目清晰、更加条理化，在文字表述上还可分成若干自然段来写，特别是对那些涉及较多方面的先进事迹材料，采取这种写法尤为必要。如果将各方面内容材料都混在一起，是不易写明的。在分段写时，最好在每段之前根据内容标出小标题，或以明确的观点加以概括，使标题或观点与内容浑然一体。 最后，是先进事迹材料的署名。一般说，整理先进个人和先进集体的材料，都是以本级组织或上级组织的名义；是代表组织意见的。因此，材料整理完后，应经有关领导同志审定，以相应一级组织正式署名上报。这类材料不宜以个人名义署名。 写作典型经验材料-般包括以下几部分： (1)标题。有多种写法，通常是把典型经验高度集中地概括出来，一
How to manage time Time treats everyone fairly that we all have 24 hours per day. Some of us are capable to make good use of time while some find it hard to do so. Knowing how to manage them is essential in our life. Take myself as an example. When I was still a senior high student, I was fully occupied with my studies. Therefore, I hardly had spare time to have fun or develop my hobbies. But things were changed after I entered university. I got more free time than ever before. But ironically, I found it difficult to adjust this kind of brand-new school life and there was no such thing called time management on my mind. It was not until the second year that I realized I had wasted my whole year doing nothing. I could have taken up a Spanish course. I could have read ten books about the stories of successful people. I could have applied for a part-time job to earn some working experiences. B ut I didn’t spend my time on any of them. I felt guilty whenever I looked back to the moments that I just sat around doing nothing. It’s said that better late than never. At least I had the consciousness that I should stop wasting my time. Making up my mind is the first step for me to learn to manage my time. Next, I wrote a timetable, setting some targets that I had to finish each day. For instance, on Monday, I must read two pieces of news and review all the lessons that I have learnt on that day. By the way, the daily plan that I made was flexible. If there’s something unexpected that I had to finish first, I would reduce the time for resting or delay my target to the next day. Also, I would try to achieve those targets ahead of time that I planed so that I could reserve some more time to relax or do something out of my plan. At the beginning, it’s kind of difficult to s tick to the plan. But as time went by, having a plan for time in advance became a part of my life. At the same time, I gradually became a well-organized person. Now I’ve grasped the time management skill and I’m able to use my time efficiently.

全日制英语学习，选择尚语国际语言村https://www.doczj.com/doc/4e16498848.html, 随着全球商务活动日益频繁，互联网迅猛发展，商务信函成为国际贸易中客户沟通的主要方式，广泛运用于外贸、海外资本运营、国际货运等商务活动。它涵盖询问、洽谈、答复，涉及到询盘、报盘、发盘、还盘、交易达成、支付方式、装运等业务细节，是商务活动中不可或缺的沟通媒介，高质量的商务英语信函翻译对国际商务活动的重要性不言而喻。 一、商务信函的语言特点 与其他文体相比，商务信函具有商务文体正式、简洁、专业、礼貌等特点。 (一)正式。商务信函是公文性质函件，用词布局上比普通信函讲究，较多使用书面语。如请您给我发送一份申请表格，在此表示感谢。一般使用We would be grateful if you could send me an application form。而不使用Could you send me an application form? Thank you!。文体布局上商务信函也比一般信函严谨规范，有其特定布局结构。如道歉信通常开头致歉(We must apologize for …/We apologize for…)，接下来解释事情发生的原因，寻求对方谅解(this is owing to…)，在结尾处再次致歉(We hope that this has not caused you any inconvenience./With apologies once again.)一般道歉信都会遵循这样层层递进的规范布局，翻译时也要注意符合其布局。 (二)简洁。商务人士求实重效率。商务信函必须言简意赅，目的突出，层次分明。一般信件开头就说明来意，如：We are writing to enquire about the prices of your cabinets/ we are writing in connection with the advertisement in the newspaper yesterday. 如果开头东拉西扯，会使繁忙的商务人士无暇向下，不明所以。此外信件中措辞也较少使用冗繁的词语句式。例：Please contact us whenever we can be helpful. (如需帮助请告知)而一般不会使用Whenever there is anything we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us。 (三)专业。商务信函用于业内往来，广泛使用商业术语和缩略语，包括外贸业务术语、公司名称及单证等，规范程度很高。常见如外贸术语CIF(Cost, Insurance and Freight) 成本、运费加保险价，FCA(Free carrier)货交承运人，B/L(Bill of Loading)运输单等在信函中都大量使用。此外商务信函也常使用here，where, there 与in, by, with, after 等构成复合词如hereafter(after this),wherein (in which) therefrom (from that)。如：Seller is bound to reimburse Buyer for any loss sustained therefrom. 长期的商务书信交流中逐步形成了商务英语信函句式的套语和行话。如：收到对方询盘的套话：Thank you for your letter of 23 July, asking if we sell photocopiers.希望得到对方回函、订单时的套话：Looking forward to your favorable /early reply. (四)礼貌。西方人交往中非常重视态度，商务信函应礼貌友好，礼貌可以使对方阅读后心生好感，从而保持友好贸易关系。在信函中采用“You attitude”，从对方角度考虑问题，较多使用第二人称，较少使用
小学生个人读书事迹简介怎么写800字 书,是人类进步的阶梯,苏联作家高尔基的一句话道出了书的重要。书可谓是众多名人的“宠儿”。历来,名人说出关于书的名言数不胜数。今天小编在这给大家整理了小学生个人读书事迹,接下来随着小编一起来看看吧! 小学生个人读书事迹1 “万般皆下品,惟有读书高”、“书中自有颜如玉,书中自有黄金屋”,古往今来,读书的好处为人们所重视,有人“学而优则仕”,有人“满腹经纶”走上“传道授业解惑也”的道路……但是,从长远的角度看,笔者认为读书的好处在于增加了我们做事的成功率,改善了生活的质量。 三国时期的大将吕蒙,行伍出身,不重视文化的学习,行文时,常常要他人捉刀。经过主君孙权的劝导,吕蒙懂得了读书的重要性,从此手不释卷,成为了一代儒将,连东吴的智囊鲁肃都对他“刮目相待”。后来的事实证明,荆州之战的胜利,擒获“武圣”关羽,离不开吕蒙的“运筹帷幄,决胜千里”,而他的韬略离不开平时的读书。由此可见,一个人行事的成功率高低,与他的对读书,对知识的重视程度是密切相关的。 的物理学家牛顿曾近说过,“如果我比别人看得更远,那是因为我站在巨人的肩上”,鲜花和掌声面前,一代伟人没有迷失方向,自始至终对读书保持着热枕。牛顿的话语告诉我们,渊博的知识能让我们站在更高、更理性的角度来看问题,从而少犯错误,少走弯路。
读书的好处是显而易见的,但是,在社会发展日新月异的今天,依然不乏对读书,对知识缺乏认知的人,《今日说法》中我们反复看到农民工没有和用人单位签订劳动合同,最终讨薪无果;屠户不知道往牛肉里掺“巴西疯牛肉”是犯法的;某父母坚持“棍棒底下出孝子”,结果伤害了孩子的身心,也将自己送进了班房……对书本,对知识的零解读让他们付出了惨痛的代价,当他们奔波在讨薪的路上,当他们面对高墙电网时,幸福,从何谈起?高质量的生活,从何谈起? 读书,让我们体会到“锄禾日当午,汗滴禾下土”的艰辛;读书,让我们感知到“四海无闲田,农夫犹饿死”的无奈;读书,让我们感悟到“为报倾城随太守,西北望射天狼”的豪情壮志。 读书的好处在于提高了生活的质量,它填补了我们人生中的空白,让我们不至于在大好的年华里无所事事,从书本中,我们学会提炼出有用的信息,汲取成长所需的营养。所以,我们要认真读书,充分认识到读书对改善生活的重要意义,只有这样,才是一种负责任的生活态度。 小学生个人读书事迹2 所谓读一本好书就是交一个良师益友,但我认为读一本好书就是一次大冒险,大探究。一次体会书的过程,真的很有意思,咯咯的笑声,总是从书香里散发;沉思的目光也总是从书本里透露。是书给了我启示,是书填补了我无聊的夜空,也是书带我遨游整个古今中外。所以人活着就不能没有书,只要爱书你就是一个爱生活的人,只要爱书你就是一个大写的人,只要爱书你就是一个懂得珍惜与否的人。可真所谓

1.How to build a business that lasts100years 0:11Imagine that you are a product designer.And you've designed a product,a new type of product,called the human immune system.You're pitching this product to a skeptical,strictly no-nonsense manager.Let's call him Bob.I think we all know at least one Bob,right?How would that go? 0:34Bob,I've got this incredible idea for a completely new type of personal health product.It's called the human immune system.I can see from your face that you're having some problems with this.Don't worry.I know it's very complicated.I don't want to take you through the gory details,I just want to tell you about some of the amazing features of this product.First of all,it cleverly uses redundancy by having millions of copies of each component--leukocytes,white blood cells--before they're actually needed,to create a massive buffer against the unexpected.And it cleverly leverages diversity by having not just leukocytes but B cells,T cells,natural killer cells,antibodies.The components don't really matter.The point is that together,this diversity of different approaches can cope with more or less anything that evolution has been able to throw up.And the design is completely modular.You have the surface barrier of the human skin,you have the very rapidly reacting innate immune system and then you have the highly targeted adaptive immune system.The point is,that if one system fails,another can take over,creating a virtually foolproof system. 1:54I can see I'm losing you,Bob,but stay with me,because here is the really killer feature.The product is completely adaptive.It's able to actually develop targeted antibodies to threats that it's never even met before.It actually also does this with incredible prudence,detecting and reacting to every tiny threat,and furthermore, remembering every previous threat,in case they are ever encountered again.What I'm pitching you today is actually not a stand-alone product.The product is embedded in the larger system of the human body,and it works in complete harmony with that system,to create this unprecedented level of biological protection.So Bob,just tell me honestly,what do you think of my product? 2:47And Bob may say something like,I sincerely appreciate the effort and passion that have gone into your presentation,blah blah blah-- 2:56(Laughter) 2:58But honestly,it's total nonsense.You seem to be saying that the key selling points of your product are that it is inefficient and complex.Didn't they teach you 80-20?And furthermore,you're saying that this product is siloed.It overreacts, makes things up as it goes along and is actually designed for somebody else's benefit. I'm sorry to break it to you,but I don't think this one is a winner.
关于工作的优秀英语演讲稿 Different people have various ambitions. Some want to be engineers or doctors in the future. Some want to be scientists or businessmen. Still some wish to be teachers or lawers when they grow up in the days to come. Unlike other people, I prefer to be a farmer. However, it is not easy to be a farmer for Iwill be looked upon by others. Anyway,what I am trying to do is to make great contributions to agriculture. It is well known that farming is the basic of the country. Above all, farming is not only a challenge but also a good opportunity for the young. We can also make a big profit by growing vegetables and food in a scientific way. Besides we can apply what we have learned in school to farming. Thus our countryside will become more and more properous. I believe that any man with knowledge can do whatever they can so long as this job can meet his or her interest. All the working position can provide him with a good chance to become a talent. 1 ————来源网络整理，仅供供参考

尊敬的领导，老师，亲爱的同学们， 大家好！我是5班的梁浩东。今天早上我坐车来学校的路上，我仔细观察了路上形形色色的人，有开着小车衣着精致的叔叔阿姨，有市场带着倦容的卖各种早点的阿姨，还有偶尔穿梭于人群中衣衫褴褛的乞丐。于是我问自己，十几年后我会成为怎样的自己，想成为社会成功人士还是碌碌无为的人呢，答案肯定是前者。那么十几年后我怎样才能如愿以偿呢，成为一个受人尊重，有价值的人呢？正如我今天演讲的题目是：自主管理。 大家都知道爱玩是我们孩子的天性，学习也是我们的责任和义务。要怎样处理好这些矛盾，提高自主管理呢？ 首先，我们要有小主人翁思想，自己做自己的主人，要认识到我们学习，生活这一切都是我们自己走自己的人生路，并不是为了报答父母，更不是为了敷衍老师。 我认为自主管理又可以理解为自我管理，在学习和生活中无处不在，比如通过老师，小组长来管理约束行为和同学们对自身行为的管理都属于自我管理。比如我们到一个旅游景点，看到一块大石头，有的同学特别兴奋，会想在上面刻上：某某某到此一游话。这时你就需要自我管理，你需要提醒自己，这样做会破坏景点，而且是一种素质低下的表现。你设想一下，如果别人家小孩去你家墙上乱涂乱画，你是何种感受。同样我们把自主管理放到学习上，在我们想偷懒，想逃避，想放弃的时候，我们可以通过自主管理来避免这些，通过他人或者自己的力量来完成。例如我会制定作息时间计划表，里面包括学习，运动，玩耍等内容的完成时间。那些学校学习尖子，他们学习好是智商高于我们吗，其实不然，在我所了解的哪些优秀的学霸传授经验里，就提到要能够自我管理，规范好学习时间的分分秒秒，只有辛勤的付出，才能取得优异成绩。 在现实生活中，无数成功人士告诉我们自主管理的重要性。十几年后我想成为一位优秀的，为国家多做贡献的人。亲爱的同学们，你们们？让我们从现在开始重视和执行自主管理，十几年后成为那个你想成为的人。 谢谢大家！
