Unit 1 Cultural Differences文化差异In 1993, I had my first opportunity to visit Russia as a representative of the University of California. I was there to provide some technical assistance in the area of agricultural labor management. ―Russians are a very polite people,‖ I had been tutored before my arrival. One of my interpreters, once I was there, explained that a gentleman should pour the lemonade (a type of juice) for the ladies and show other courtesies to them.1993年,我作为加利福尼亚大学的代表，有了我的第一个访问俄罗斯的机会。
我在该地区的农业劳动管理区提供一些技术援助。
“俄罗斯人是很有教养的人,”我在来访之前就被这样教导过。
我一到那儿，我的一位翻译员就对我解释说,一作为一个绅士应该为女士们倒柠檬汁(一种果汁)并且向他们展示其它的礼貌礼仪。
Toward the end of my three-week trip I was invited by my young Russian host and friend Dmitri Ivanovich and his lovely wife Yielena out to dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal Yielena asked if I would like a banana. I politely declined and thanked her, and explained I was most satisfied with the meal. But the whole while my mind was racing: “What do I do? Do I offer her a banana even though they are as close to her as they are to me? What is the polite thing to do?”就在我这三周的旅行快要结束的时候，我被我的朋友，一位年轻的俄罗斯东道主，季米特里·伊万诺维奇和他美丽的妻子Yielena邀请去吃晚饭。
Lesson 15:The Beauty Industry美容用品业The one American industry unaffected by the general depression of trade is the beauty industry.美国工业中惟一未受贸易大萧条影响的是美容用品业。

Reading them. I was only surprised by the comparative 相對較小smallness of the sums expended.当读到这时，我只为花费的数目相对较小而感到惊奇。
From the prodigious巨大number of advertisements of aids to beauty contained in the American magazines,从美国杂志上铺天盖地的化妆品广告来看，I had imagined that the personal appearance business must standhigh up among the champions of American industry—the equal, or only just less than the equal, of bootlegging販賣私酒and racketeering,敲詐勒索movies and automobiles.从美国杂志上铺天盖地的化妆品广告来看，我原以为美容用品业一定居美国工业群雄之首，与贩卖私酒和敲诈勒索，电影和汽车业并驾齐驱或稍逊一筹。

在平常的工作日里，我很害怕杰克·格林，这是因为我所在的部门属于他的部门，而杰克·格林是我的上司。
格林害怕我则是因为我的部门的绝大部分工作是为销售部所做的，而销售部比他的部门更重要，而且同他相比，我与迪·卡葛勒以及销售部的其他人员的关系更加密切。
格林偶尔也对我不信任，他有时会向我表示他希望我的部门的每一项工作在其他部门知道前要先让他知道。
我知道这不是他真正的意思，他自己的工作非常忙，根本就无暇顾及我们所有的工作。
我会将大部分工作绕过格林并直接交给需要它们的人，而不愿意占他的时间。
毕竟我们部门绝大部分工作只是微不足道的。
但是每当其他部门赞扬我们部门的工作时，格林就会变得不安，如果他从未看见或听到过的话，就更是恼羞成怒。

有一个为我工作的人，他对任何人都毫不惧怕，甚至连我也不怕，我真想尽快把他解雇掉，然而我害怕他……公司里非常惧怕大多数人的人是销售人员，他们都生活和工作在极大压力之下，当情况不好时，对销售人员来说就会更糟。
Lesson 2: Four Choices for Young People在毕业前不久，斯坦福大学四年级主席吉姆?宾司给我写了一封信，信中谈及他的一些不安。
Shortly before his graduation, Jim Binns, president of the senior class at Stanford University, wrote me about some of his misgivings.他写道：“与其他任何一代人相比，我们这一代人在看待成人世界时抱有更大的疑虑……同时越来越倾向于全盘否定成人世界。
”“More than any other generation,‖ he said, ―our generation views the adult world with great skepticism… there is also an increased tendency to reject completely that world.‖很明显，他的话代表了许多同龄人的看法。
Apparently he speaks for a lot of his contemporaries.在过去的几年里，我倾听过许多年轻人的谈话，他们有的还在大学读书，有的已经毕业，他们对于成人的世界同样感到不安。
During the last few years, I have listened to scores of young people, in college and out, who were just as nervous about the grown world.大致来说，他们的态度可归纳如下：“这个世界乱糟糟的，到处充满了不平等、贫困和战争。
对此该负责的大概应是那些管理这个世界的成年人吧。
如果他们不能做得比这些更好，他们又能拿什么来教育我们呢？这样的教导，我们根本不需要。
