26 The Magic of Energy 能的魔力
1. We talk about energy all the time-"Zilch
1、我们时时刻刻讨论着能：“能量食物”，“能源危机”，等等。如果让我们给能下个定义，答案很可能是一些模棱两可的话：“哦，能是，嗯，你知道，像电。”
2. True;electricity is one kind of energy. However, energy comes in many forms. You cannot see or smell or taste energy, but it's always there, and one of the most fascinating<迷人的，有极大吸引力的>things about it is its ability to change from one form to another-like magic. This principle of change is what keep s everything-and everyone-going in this world of ours.
2、确实，电是能量中的一种。但是，能可以来自多种形式。你看不见、闻不到、也品尝不了能，但是，它始终存在着，关于能，最吸引人的就是，它具有从一种形式转换成另外一种形式的能力，简直如同魔术。这些转化的原理是维持着我们这个世界每一样事物、每一个人的运动。
Heat Energy 热能
3. When a fuel<燃料> unites with<结合，联合> oxygen, we say the fuel burns; what is really happening is that chemical energy (fuel and oxygen) is changing to heat energy. When the fuel (food) we eat unites with the oxygen we breathe, we then have heat energy to run our bodies.
3、当燃料与氧气结合时，我们就说燃料开始燃烧了，实际发生的是化学能（燃料与氧气）转化成热能。当燃料（我们吃的食物）与我们呼吸的氧气结合，我们获得我们身体运动所需的热能。
4. When you pop<取出> a frozen waffle<饼> into the toaster<烤面包机>, electrical energy turns into<变成> heat energy.
4、当你取出一块冷冻饼放进烤面包机时，电能转化成了热能。
5. In the internal<内部的>-combustion
5、在汽车的内燃机引擎里，电火花引爆气缸里的燃料气体，然后热能推动活塞，成
为机械能推动汽车行驶。
6. In a steam
6、在蒸汽机里，燃料里的化学能转化成热能，加热水，成为水蒸汽，推动活塞运动。在燃气轮机里，水蒸汽推动的是叶片。在这两种情况中，都是机械能起的作用。
7. This changing from one form of energy to another can continue almost indefinitely<无限制地>. If, for instance<比如，例如>, the steam engine or turbine is connected to a generator<发电机>, the mechanical energy can become electrical energy, which can become heat energy (for the electric stove<炉>), mechanical energy (for the washer<洗衣机>), etc.
7、能量从一种形式转化为另一种形式的变化几乎能够无限制地进行下去。比如说，如果蒸汽机或者蒸汽轮机和一个发电机连接起来，那么机械能就可以转化成电能，然后转化成热能（比如电炉）、机械能（如洗衣机）等。
8. Thus, energy readily<轻易地> changes back and forth<来回地>from one form to another. What starts out as one form of energy may be a totally
8、因此，能量可以轻易地从一种形式到另一种形式来回转换。从最初的能量形式到最后的使用形式，能的形态可能已经完全改变了。
Radiant
9. Radiant energy is also called light energy. Our most important source of radiant energy is, of course, the sun. Without it there would be no life, for plant life depends upon radiant energy-and we depend upon plant life.
9、辐射能也称作光能。当然，我们人类最重要的光能的来源就是太阳。没有太阳，就没有生命，植物的生命依赖辐射能，而我们依赖植物的生命。
10. Other forms of radiant energy familiar to<为…所熟悉>us are radio waves<无线电波>, infrared<红外线>rays<射线>, ultra-violet<紫外线>rays, X rays, and gamma rays.
10、我们熟悉的另外一些形式的辐射能是无线电波、红外线、紫外线、X射线和伽玛射线。
Mechanical Energy 机械能
11. In simplest terms<术语>, this is the energy of a moving object. Your
heartbeat, the pushing of a lawn<草地>mower<割草机>, a baseball speeding through the air, water falling onto a waterwheel<水轮机>, the prying<撬> up of a rock with a crowbar<撬杠>-all are mechanical energy, which, of course, was another form of energy earlier.
11、用最简单的术语来描述，机械能就是移动着的物体拥有的能量。你的心脏跳动、推进割草机、棒球在空中高速飞过、水落入水轮机、用撬杠撬开石头等等，所有这些都是机械能，当然，在转化之前它是另一种能量形式。
Electrical Energy 电能
12. Electrical energy usually has to be changed to another form before it actually does what we want it to do. In the toaster, it changes to heat; in a tiny wrist<手腕>watch or a subway train or a 75,000 horse-power industrial motor, it changes to mechanical energy. In an industrial process called electrolysis<电解>, it changes to chemical energy.
12、通常情况下，电能必须先转化为另一种形式的能，才能为我们所用。对烤面包机来说，电能转化成热能，在一个小小的手表里或者地铁列车里或者一台75000马力的工业电动机里，电能转化成机械能。在被称为电解的工艺中，它转化成化学能。Chemical Energy 化学能
13. Various fuels such as coal, gas, oil and food are common<普通的> examples of chemical energy. These fuels give off heat when they burn. The process is called combustion or oxidation<氧化反应>, and the heat itself is a form of energy. Man uses the energy from some kind of fuel for everything from flying to the moon to thinking about it.
13、最常见的化学能包括煤、天然气、石油、和食物等各种各样的燃料。当这些燃料燃烧时释放出热能。这个过程我们称之为燃烧或者氧化反应，同时热本身也是能量的一种形式。人们从不同燃料中得到能量，并用这些能量做任何事情，大到飞上月球，小到头脑的思考。
14. A special kind of chemical energy is nuclear energy<核能>, sometimes called atomic energy<原子能>. These names come from the fact that the source of energy is the nucleus<核心>, or core<中心，核心>, of the atom. Nuclear fuels such as plutonium<钚> and uranium<铀>give off<释放出> heat energy when fission<裂变> (the splitting<分裂> of atoms in these fuels) occurs. Already we have seen tremendous<巨大的> advances in the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, and many people see nuclear energy as the future answer to
almost all of our energy needs.
14、核能是一种特殊的化学能，有时候我们称之为原子能。这个名称来自于能量来源于核、或者原子核这样的事实。当核燃料，例如钚和铀，发生核裂变时释放出热能（在这些燃料中原子发生分裂）。我们已经看到和平利用核能所带来的巨大好处，并且很多人认为核能可以看作解决未来人类能源需求问题的答案。
15. Energy-the kind of magic we can't live without.
15、能，是与人类生存息息相关的一种魔力。

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。
