Unit Five1、Background Introduction“工作狂”这三个字，怎么都不觉得是褒义词，但我又认为发明这个词的人一定是带有某种感情色彩的，那到底应该是什么呢？先说工作狂是幸福的。
既然工作着，说明找到了自己的领域，还能狂，表示投入了很大的精力，所以捎带也就提高了业务水平，增加了求职升职的砝码。
甚至很多人和朋友聊天时也是三句不离本行，醉心于工作的点点滴滴。
一个工作狂，大多是他主动要成为一个工作狂，懂得工作并快乐着，时不时忙里偷闲一番，工作不但不会摧垮身心，反而会成为快乐生活的滋补品。
我们开始工作的第一天算起，工作究竟是为了什么？开始是为了生存，后来是为了兴趣，最后暂且说是理想吧。
毕竟最初的梦想最后又当真在做的人少数，那些人是幸福的，我相信他们有足够的激情完成自己的工作。
我相信工作狂一定是要有所平衡的东西，如果你觉得电视剧能让你更全情地投入工作，当然也可以选择看电视。
只是担心那些总想趁年轻一再透支健康的人，难道真的除了工作能一言不发？还是在日常生活中给自己一些奖励，去喜欢的餐馆大吃一顿，或者经营一下与家人的关系，陪太太到喜欢的商店逛逛，这样多好。
其实我们的社会还是很需要工作狂的，但我们也要看清，太多的人用全部的努力，不过换来了普通的生活。
如果就像两个爬山，一个人永远向往远处的风景，一个人却始终留意欣赏路边的风景，谁更辛苦呢？由此可见工作狂不等于“过度工作者”，工作狂能够在工作中享受人生。

1、As the world economy slid into recession, some countries began to take trade-restrictive policies.由于世界经济滑落到衰退境地，一些国家开始实行贸易限制性政策。
2、Rather than classical law of comparative advantage, in the new global economy we confront the law of absolute advantage in which capital will move to those countries with the lowest costs of production, meaning a zero-sum game.在全球新经济中，我们所面临的不是比较优势的古典法则，而是绝对优势法则，其间资本将流入生产成本最低的国家，这意味着零和游戏。
3、The workers in a “protected” industry may have higher wages than they otherwise would under free trade, but consumers would be worse off because of higher prices.在“受到贸易保护”企业就业的工人的工资，要比他们如果在自由贸易情形下的工资来得高；但是，消费者们则会因为物价涨得更高而变得更加贫困。
4、Imposing a tariff will still make the people in the “losing” country poorer on average, relative to how poor t hey would be with the change in factor mobility and free trade.相对于在生产要素自由流动和自由贸易条件下人们可能身处的贫困程度而言，强征关税仍将使“遭受损失”的国民在总体上变得更加贫困。
