Star Wars: The Force Awakens generated more than half a billion dollars in its opening weekend, smashing the box office record in the US and underscoring why Walt Disney paid $4bn for the rights to the series three years ago. 电影《星球大战:原力觉醒》(Star Wars: The Force Awakens)在首发周末就收得逾5亿美元票房,打破了美国票房纪录,从而凸显出三年前沃尔特迪士尼公司(Walt Disney)斥资40亿美元购买该系列版权的原因。
The film grossed $238m in the US, higher than the $208m mark set this year by Universal Studios’ Jurassic World, and an additional $279m around the world. 该电影在美国共斩获2.38亿美元票房,超过了今年由环球影业(Universal Studios)的《侏罗纪世界》(Jurassic World)创下的2.08亿美元纪录。此外,该电影在全球其他地区还收得2.79亿美元票房。
It set records in markets including the UK, Germany, Australia and Russia. Global returns will climb further on January 9 when the film opens in China, the second-largest movie market after the US. 在包括英国、德国、澳大利亚和俄罗斯在内的各个市场,该电影创下了票房纪录。由于中国是仅次于美国的第二大电影市场,1月9日该电影在中国首映时,其全球票房还将进一步攀升。
The Force Awakens is the first of six Star Wars films commissioned by Disney, which will use the characters created by George Lucas to drive consumer product sales and visits to its theme parks. Macquarie Securities estimates that The Force Awakens alone could generate $5bn in consumer product sales, with Disney earning $500m-$1bn in royalties. 《原力觉醒》是迪斯尼委托制作的六部星球大战电影中的第一部,该公司将利用由乔治卢卡斯(George Lucas)创造的人物形象,增加消费类产品的销售及其主体公园的游客人数。麦格理证券(Macquarie Securities)估计,仅《原力觉醒》一部电影就能带来50亿美元的消费类产品销售额,其中迪斯尼赚取的版税将在5亿美元到10亿美元之间。
The Force Awakens could lift total annual US box office returns past $11bn for the first time and power global takings above $40bn, according to Paul Dergarabedian, a senior analyst with Rentrak, which monitors box office performance. 根据Rentrak资深分析师保罗德加拉伯迪安(Paul Dergarabedian)的说法,《原力觉醒》或许会首次将美国全年总票房推升至超过110亿美元,并导致全球总票房超过400亿美元。Rentrak是一家跟踪研究电影票房收入的机构。
The launch of the first Star Wars film in a decade comes amid concerns about the growth prospects of ESPN, Disney’s sports cable network — and the main driver of the company’s profits. Rich Greenfield, analyst with BTIG Research, cut his earnings estimates for 2017, warning that ESPN’s profitability would “meaningfully underperform investor expectations”. 这是十年内推出的首部星球大战电影,该电影推出之际,人们正在担心迪斯尼旗下体育电视网ESPN的增长前景——该电视网是迪斯尼盈利的主要来源。BTIG Research分析师里奇格林菲尔德(Rich Greenfield)降低了对迪斯尼2017年的盈利估计,并警告说ESPN的盈利能力或将“大大低于投资者预期”。
Disney’s media networks division, which includes ESPN, generates more than 50 per cent of group operating income. However, ESPN has high, fixed costs based on its acquisition of marquee sports rights at a time of shifting viewing behaviour: the sports network lost an estimated 3m subscribers in the year to August, according to Nielsen, the research firm. 包括ESPN在内的迪斯尼媒体网络部门所产生的营业利润超过了该集团的50%。不过,根据研究机构尼尔森(Nielsen)的说法,对室内体育赛事转播权的收购,为ESPN带来了高昂的固定成本,而如今观众的收视行为却处于变化之中:在截至今年8月的一年里,该体育电视网的注册人数估计丧失了300万。

23 Someday -- Sugar Ray “Sugar Ray(据说应该翻译作“拔丝”乐队-_-bbb),他们的音乐风格用一个字就可以形容——Summer,他们只在夏天出片,歌儿一听就让人想起夏天——总是阳光明媚、活泼愉快。与此相反的,他们的歌词却是比较深的,那个身上有着13个纹身、英俊得完全不像个rock band主唱的Mark McGrath经常用很夸张的肢体语言在MTV中摇摆,加上十分十分正宗的传统摇滚式配器,恐怕在今天活着的乐队中找不出第二个这样的band”

名词解释:据英国广播公司报道,在上周四召开的峰会上,20国集团签署了协议,以打击跨国公司全球避税行为。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?
Last Thursday's meeting of G20 nations signed an agreement to fight global tax avoidanceby multinationals, BBC reported.
The group of developing and developed nations formally backed plans to tackle international tax avoidance and evasion at its meeting in July.
The gathering, in the Russian city of St Petersburg, is officially about global economic matters.
据英国广播公司报道,在上周四召开的峰会上,20国集团签署了协议,以打击跨国公司全球避税行为。
集团内的发达国家和发展中国家在七月的会议中已正式表示,支持打击国际避税、逃税的方案。
本次峰会在俄罗斯的圣彼得堡召开,会议的主要内容是全球经济问题。
文中的global tax avoidance就是“全球避税”的意思。tax就是”税、税款“的意思,它的复数形式是在词尾加上-es即taxes,其常见的词组和动词搭配有:impose taxes 征税、collect taxes 收税、evade taxes 漏税、road tax 公路税、tax year 税收年度、tax affairs 税务状况。tax haven就是指”避税地“、”避税天堂“,注意haven和heaven两词较易混淆,haven的原意是”避难所“,只是此处意译为”天堂“。
另外,文中第一段的multinational作名词,意思是”跨国公司“;第二段中的back作动词,意思是”支持“。

下面读文网小编为大家带来旅游英语阅读:全球最受欢迎食物,希望大家喜欢!
意大利的传统主食意大利面,在现代厨艺的诠释下风靡全世界。近期的一项调查证明了意大利面的人气:意大利面超过肉类、米饭以及披萨,成为全世界最受欢迎的食物。
It is traditionally a staple of Italian cuisine butin modern cookeryis used across the globe. Now thepopularity of pasta has been confirmed in asurvey which places it as the world's favourite foodahead of meat, rice and pizza.
A global survey by Oxfam saw pasta narrowlytop the list thanks to its growing popularity in theAmericas, Asia, Africa and Europe. Oxfam said thesurvey of eating habits in 17 countries shows how Western diets have spread across theworld。
在乐施会的这项调查中,意大利面因其在美洲、亚洲、非洲及欧洲不断飙升的人气险胜。乐施会表示,这项调查分析了全球17个国家的饮食习惯,结果显示西式饮食已遍布全世界。
Although national dishes are still popular - such as paellain Spain and schnitzel in Germany- pizza and pasta are now the favourite foods of many, with more than half of the countries(nine out of 17) listing one or both in their top three foods。
虽然西班牙的海鲜饭和德国的炸猪排等国家传统菜肴依旧流行,但披萨和意面已成为多个国家最中意的美食。在这17个国家中,超过半数的国家(9个)将其中之一或两者都列为榜单的前三名。
But as a food with around 600 different varieties including popular exports like penne andtagliatelle, pasta reigns supreme thanks to its versatilityand specialities。
但是作为一种有着600种种类的食物,包括在世界范围内备受欢迎的通心粉和干面条,意大利面因其多样的做法与独特的风味仍旧高居榜首。
Pasta ranked as the second most popular food in the UK, behind steak and ahead ofchicken. Curry, thought by many to be one of the most popular cuisines in Britain, rankedfourth。
在英国,意大利面位居榜单第二,高于鸡肉,仅次于牛排。咖喱排在第四位,是多数人心中英国最受欢迎的食物。
The survey also highlighted the worldwide popularity for Asian food - Chinese was thesecond-most popular in Mexico while sushi made the top ten in five countries including theUSA and South Africa。
这项调查同时也突出显示了亚洲食物在全世界范围的流行程度:中国菜是墨西哥人第二喜爱的菜肴,而对于包括美国及南非在内的五个国家来说,寿司是他们的最爱。
There were some surprising results as well, with sweet-toothed Australia naming chocolateas its favourite food。
这项调查中也有意想不到的结果。好吃甜食的澳大利亚人认为巧克力才是他们最喜欢的食物。
And despite its worldwide dominancein the fast food market for decades, McDonald's rankeda lowly 113 in the list. Its rival KFC did not fare much better, coming in at 107.
此外,主宰了世界快餐市场数十载的麦当劳在榜单上仅仅排在了113位。其对手肯德基的情况同样不容乐观,排在107位。
The opinion poll also revealed that the cost of food is a worldwide worry with two thirdssaying it is one of their top food concerns. More than half of the people questioned globally (54per cent) said they are not eating the same food they did two years ago, with two fifths (39 percent) of those saying it was because food was becoming more expensive。
调查同时显示了世界范围内对食品价格的担忧。三分之二的受访人表示价格是他们在食物方面选择的首要因素。超过半数的受访者(54%)认为现在吃的东西较两年前有所改变,39%的人认为这是因为食品的价格上涨了。
The news comes despite debate as to whether pasta is good for you at all, with conflictingdiet advice suggesting it can help you both lose weight or pile on the pounds。
尽管人们仍在争辩意大利面是否对健康有利,是帮助了减肥还是会增加体重,但这丝毫没有影响它成为世界最受欢迎的食物。
Pasta is widely thought to have originated from Arab invaders who conquered Sicily in theeight century fed by slow-release carbohydrates. The food they ate which originated from driednoodle was made from durum wheat - the stapleingredient which must now be used in all driedpasta by Italian law。
人们普遍认为意大利面源于8世纪的阿拉伯入侵者。征服了西西里岛的阿拉伯人正是吃着这种食物长大的。他们吃的这种食物来源于干面,由硬质小麦制成。根据意大利的法律,所有的干制意大利面都必须使用这种原料。

积极引导全球经济议程,推进全球经济治理体制变革,改革完善国际经济治理体系,促进国际经济秩序朝着平等公正、合作共赢的方向发展,已经成为现阶段中国的重大国际战略选择。下面读文网小编为大家带来金融财经新闻双语阅读:《推动全球经济发展新战略》,希望大家喜欢!
BEIJING - As the world economy is facing varied challenges including slowing growth,differentiated policies, transition and increasing uncertainties, new strategies are needed to cope with the changing economic situation and boost global economic development.
北京——全球经济增长放缓、各国政策差异化严重、转型期不稳定性增加,面对这些复杂的挑战,我们需要采取新的战略来应对经济形势的转变,并推动全球经济发展。
During the World Bank Group-International Monetary Fund (IMF) annual meetings in Lima, Peru earlier this week, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said the world economy is not in a crisis any more, but in a period of change.
本周在秘鲁利马召开的世界银行和国际货币基金组织年会上,国际货币基金组织总裁克里斯蒂娜·拉加德表示世界经济并没有陷入危机,而是正处于变革时期。
She warned policymakers around the world that "no country can go it alone and international cooperation is more needed than ever."
她向各国的决策者强调:“没有哪个国家可以独自走过这段变革时期,现在比以往任何时候都更需要国际合作。”
In the eyes of experts attending the meetings -- an important event to estimate the world economic situation, challenges in the period of change may not less than those in the crisis.
世界银行和国际货币基金组织年会对于预测全球经济形势至关重要。与会专家认为,经济转型时期所面临的挑战可能并不比经济危机中的挑战少。
Just before the annual meetings, the IMF downgraded its forecast for global economic growth this year to 3.1 percent from the 3.3 percent it forecast in July and the 3.5 percent it projected in April.
就在年会开始前,国际货币基金组织将本年度的全球经济增长的预估值下调到3.1%,而七月份的估值是3.3%,四月份的估值为3.5%。
In face of the severe economic situation, Lagarde said, the IMF will pay more attention to economic transition, spillovers of major economies’ policies and global cooperation.
拉加德表示,在如此严峻的经济形势下,国际货币基金组织将更加关注经济转型、主要经济体政策的溢出效应以及全球合作。
Some economists believe that over the past seven years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis in 2008, money printing served as a main solution to boost the world economy from crisis to recovery.
部分经济学家认为2008年全球金融危机爆发后,过去的这7年里,发行货币成了推动世界经济脱离困境走向复苏的主要方式。
Meanwhile, emerging economies and developing countries, led by China, have played the role as a major engine for global growth.
同时,以中国为首的新兴经济体和发展中国家已成为促进全球经济增长的主力军。
However, with the growing transition of the world economy, the old solution to boost global economic development needs to be changed.
然而,随着世界经济的不断转型,推动经济发展的传统方式也要随之转变。
During the period of transition, changes in China and the United States, the world’s two largest economies, will have a global impact.
在转型期,中国和美国这两个世界最大经济体的转变将对全球产生影响。
As a main contributor to the world economic growth in recent years, China’s economic transition has attracted worldwide attention.
近些年来,中国一直是世界经济发展的主要推动者,因此,中国的经济转型受到了世界各国的关注。
Due to China’s important role for the world economy, its economic transition has been put on the top agenda of the World Bank Group-IMF annual meetings.
基于中国在世界经济中所起的重要作用,世界银行和国际货币基金组织的年会已将中国的经济转型列为首要议题。
Chinese Finance Minister Lou Jiwei said during the meetings that the slow growth of emerging economies is relative and China’s 7 percent is still a very high growth rate at the international level.
中国财政部长楼继伟在会议中表示,新兴经济体的缓慢增长是相对的,与国际发展速度相比,中国7%的增速仍旧很高。
"Ultrahigh speed of growth is not sustainable. Neither is the over-reliance on government investment and real estate," Lou said, "China needs structural transformation and a change in the development mode, and a properly slower growth is a sound process."
“超高速增长是不可持续的。对政府投资和房地产市场的过度依赖也不是长久的。中国要转变经济结构和发展方式。只有合理的放缓增速,经济发展才会长久。”
China’s transition and reform have been widely recognized at the meetings.
年会上,中国的经济转型和改革得到了广泛认可。
Commenting on China’s GDP growth, Lagarde said the country’s slowdown was "predictable and expected."
关于中国的GDP增长,拉加德表示中国的经济放缓是“可预见的、可预期的”。
"There will be bumps on the road as no transition can be done smoothly with no disruption or volatility ... We welcome China’s transition process coupled with more market-determined exchange rate fluctuations," she said.
她说:“道路是曲折的,任何一次转型都要经历波折甚至中断…我们希望中国在经济转型过程中能更多的让市场决定汇率的浮动。”
Lagarde’s words were backed up by the IMF’s Global Policy Agenda, which was released ahead of the meetings.
年会前发布的国际货币基金组织全球政策议程证实了拉加德的话。
"In China, fiscal, social security and state-owned enterprise reforms are needed to transition to more domestically-driven growth, which will benefit the global economy over time," it said.
议程指出:“中国的财政、社保和国有企业改革要更多的依靠内需带动增长,随着时间的推移,这也会有利于全球经济”
In addition, the China-proposed Belt and Road initiative, or the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road initiative, and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB)establishment have both attracted more attention as new solutions for boosting global economic growth.
而且,中国倡导的一带一路计划(即丝绸之路经济带和21世纪海上丝绸之路计划)以及亚投行的成立作为推动全球经济增长的新举措已获得了更多的关注。
Meanwhile, the United States, whose economic recovery has largely benefited from the position of the US dollar, a universal money, should bear more global responsibilities and play a bigger role in boosting the world economic growth.
同时,美国的经济复苏在很大程度上受益于美元作为通用货币的优势地位,因此美国应该承担更多的国际责任,在推动世界经济发展方面起到更大的作用。
For example, it should work with other developed countries to further broaden public investment to fuel economic growth, so as to provide outside support for developing countries’ structural readjustment.
比如,美国应同其他发达国家合作,进一步加大公共投资以期拉动经济增长,为发展中国家的结构性调整提供外部支持。
Moreover, export-dependent countries seeing their revenues falling should accelerate reform and explore new areas for growth.
此外,收入下降的出口型国家应该加快改革,探索新的增长领域。
All in all, both China and the United States, as well as other major economies, should strengthen coordination in their macro-policies and stay away from self-serving trade manipulation for a healthier recovery of the world economy.
总之,中美两国以及其他的主要经济体,应该加强宏观政策的协调,杜绝以自我为中心的贸易行为,促进世界经济更加稳健有力的复苏。

全球气候变暖是一种自然现象。由于人们焚烧石燃料,如石油,煤炭等,或砍伐森林并将其焚烧时会产生大量的二氧化碳,即温室气体,这些温室气体对来自太阳辐射的可见光具有高度透过性,而对地球发射出来的长波辐射具有高度吸收性,能强烈吸收地面辐射中的红外线,导致地球温度上升,即温室效应。那么你知道全球变暖用英语怎么说吗?下面来学习一下吧。
为了防止全球变暖而把二氧化硫投放到大气层中,会减缓全球水循环,并对降雨模式造成比全球变暖影响更大的危害。
Throwing sulphur into the atmosphere could slow down the world's water cycle and do more damage to rainfall patterns than the global warming it aims to prevent.
科学家们称,造成这一现象的重要原因是全球变暖,目前,西太平洋海域正受到全球变暖的影响。
They blamed this phenomenon on global warming that is affecting the surface of the western Pacific.
40%的英国人也认为全球变暖效应被夸大了,60%的人还怀疑全球变暖可能并不是人类活动造成的。
In the United Kingdom, 40% believe that global warming is exaggerated and 60% doubt that it is man-made.
当全球很多地区的天气变暖时,全球变暖可能会对某些地方产生相反的影响。
While many parts of the world can expect warmer weather, global warming might have the opposite effect in some places.
全球变暖或许是21世纪最大的环境危机,但无论是或不是,我们都不会对全球变暖做什么。
Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but- regardless of whether it is or isn't - we won't do much about it.
而支持者反驳,全球变暖不利于猫科动物或它们赖以生存的树种的生长,而风能和其他新型能源却有助于改变全球变暖的趋势。
Supporters retort that global warming, which wind and other renewable energies help to avert, would not be good for big cats or the trees they prowl round.
科学家们星期天说,全球变暖正让土壤流失着大量的碳元素,这使得防止全球变暖的工作比之前设想的更加艰难。
Our discoveries show that the present soil conditions are much worse than expected before.Therefore we hava to take some countermeasures as quickly as possible.
去年,他们在科学杂志发表了分析报告,他们认为:气候研究模式有低估碳排放对于全球变暖影响的倾向。该报告的理由是,碳排放会引发很多会加深全球变暖的变化;水比冰吸收能更多阳光;空气潮湿会带来更多的热量等等。
Last year, they published an analysis in the journal Science arguing that climate models were skewed in the direction of underestimating the warming effect of carbon.
但他们发现的历史证据表明罪魁祸首是全球变冷而不是全球变暖。
But the historical evidence they found points to global cooling, not to global warming, as the culprit.
在那里她把宣传册子发给大家,册子上面写的是人们可以通过做哪些小事来减轻全球变暖的状况,像使用节能灯和游说学校宣传全球变暖问题。
She has handed out fliers listing small actions people can take to fight global warming, like using compact fluorescent light bulbs and lobbying for schools to teach the subject.
围绕1992年制定的遏制全球变暖问题的公约而进行的谈判
Negotiations over a 1992 Treaty on global warming
尤其需要提及的是,如果中国这种来自国内的压力重现于印度等国,它就有可能成为不仅是应对环境污染,甚至是应对全球变暖的最佳路径。
In particular, local pressures if reproduced in other countries such as India may be the best path for dealing with not only pollution but also global warming.
随着全球变暖最大的市场失灵即将到来,政府职能变得更为重要。
With global warming the mother of all market failures looming, the role of the state becomes more critical.
但全球变暖让当地变得干热起来。
But global warming made things even hotter and drier.
它关于全球变暖的理想主义并没有扩散到全球。
Its idealism about global warming has not spread worldwide.

国内外的很多大学都以风景优美而著称,例如:樱花盛放的武大、古老迷人的牛津。下面就来看一下《福布斯》评选出的全球十大最美大学校园吧!
Oxford University
牛津大学
Oxford, England
位于英国牛津
Teaching within Oxford’s stone walls dates as far back as the 11th century, and the school is considered a paradigm for all college campuses. With its labyrinth of quads, cloisters, and archways, it evokes elegance and tradition at every turn. “Its monastic roots and the spectacular quality of its buildings make it an architectural wonderland,” says David Mayernik, associate professor at Notre Dame’s School of Architecture.
牛津大学的校史可追溯至11世纪,该校被公认为所有大学校园的典范。四方院、回廊和拱门遍布校园,宛如迷宫,处处散发着典雅迷人的传统气息。“修道院的渊源和气势恢宏的建筑让牛津大学成为了一个建筑圣地。”美国圣母大学建筑学院的副教授大卫•迈耶尼克如此评价道。
Kenyon College
凯尼恩学院
Gambier, Ohio, US
位于美国俄亥俄州甘比尔
Mike Evans, a principal at Norfolk, Va., design firm Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas + Company, says to be beautiful a campus must have a “signature campus space as a carrier of the campus brand.” At Kenyon College, that space is “Middle Path,” a 10-foot-wide footpath that serves as the Gothic hilltop campus’ central artery. More than just a trail, it’s a village green for the tight-knit campus community. Sergei Lobanov-Rostovsky, who teaches 17th-century poetry at Kenyon, says the college, both isolated and pastoral, is “a small place to think big thoughts.”
弗吉尼亚州诺福克Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas +建筑设计事务所主管迈克•埃文斯表示,一所美丽的校园必须具备一个“标志性校园场地来作为校园品牌的载体”,这才能担得起“最美校园”的名头。在凯尼恩学院,这个地方便是一条十英尺宽、名为“中间道路”的人行道,它是这所坐落于山顶的哥特式校园的主干道。这不仅仅是一条小路,在人际关系密切的校园里,它还是一处田园绿地。在凯尼恩学院讲授17世纪诗歌的谢尔盖•洛巴诺夫-罗斯托夫斯基表示,这所与世隔绝的田园式学院,可谓是“琢磨大想法的小地方”。
Princeton University
普林斯顿大学
Princeton, N.J., US
位于美国新泽西州普林斯顿城
Princeton’s style is pure Collegiate Gothic; most of it executed in gray stone covered in, yes, ivy. As imposing as these old stone structures are, the campus keeps life on a “human scale” by preserving green spaces and walkability.Sinuous footpaths, archways, plazas – all are designed to inspire spontaneous discussion and learning.
普林斯顿大学的建筑风格是经典学院派哥特式,大多数建筑用的是灰色石材,上面爬满了常春藤。尽管古老的石材建筑给人以庄严肃穆之感,但校园中保留了大量绿地,步行出行也很便捷,十分贴心。。蜿蜒小径,拱门和广场,所有的这些建筑设计都旨在激发学生们的自发讨论和学习欲。
Scripps College
斯克利普斯学院
Claremont, Calif., US
位于美国加州克莱蒙特市
The total plan of this women’s college, founded in the 1920′s, has always called for artistic connection between buildings and landscape. Together, architect Gordon Kaufmann, in collaboration with landscape architect Edward Huntsman-Trout, created a distinctively Southern Californian blend of Mission Revival-inspired architecture and landscape, which is lovely, evocative and intact. An expert in deciduous trees, Trout planted rows of liquid amber trees to give the students “a sense of autumn” come fall. He also peppered the campus with tulip trees, sycamores, almond and orange trees, as well as rare shrubs.
这所女子学院自1920年成立以来,一直致力于建筑物和景观的完美融合。建筑师戈登•考夫曼与景观设计师爱德华•亨斯曼-特劳特携手,将文艺复兴风格的建筑与景观相结合,形成了现在颇具南加州风味的景致——动人、有情调味而又与自然浑然一体。特劳特同时还是一位落叶树木专家,他在校园里种植了一排排琥珀色的树木,从而营造出一种“秋意浓”的韵味。此外,他还在校园的各个角落种满了郁金香、悬铃木、杏树、桔子树,以及各式珍稀灌木。
Stanford University
斯坦福大学
Palo Alto, Calif., US
位于美国加州帕洛阿尔托
New additions like the Science and Engineering Quad manage to gracefully blend modern and technological elements with the timeless, elegant aesthetics of the campus’ early California Mission Revival architecture. The campus also scores big points for its dramatic entrance via Palm Drive, its romantic Spanish red-tile roofs and myriad patches of green.
在理工教学区内,新建筑群将现代科技元素与经久典雅的早期加州教会复兴风格的老式建筑群完美地结合起来,相得益彰。惹人注目的棕榈大道、唯美浪漫的西班牙式红瓦屋顶,以及校园里遍布的绿地,也为斯坦福校园增添了不少光彩。
Trinity College
三一学院
Dublin, Ireland
位于爱尔兰都柏林市
The most celebrated structure on the campus, which was founded by Queen Elizabeth in 1592, is the Old Library. Some have called the library’s main chamber, known as the Long Room, a “cathedral of the book” because of its timbered barrel-vaulted ceiling and shelving that resembles side chapels of an old baroque church. The Long Room is also where the famous Book of Kells (an illuminated holy manuscript circa 800) is kept under lock and key.
该校是英国女王伊丽莎白一世于1592年下令兴建的,校内最著名的建筑物是老图书馆。有人将这座图书馆的大厅,也就是众所周知的长屋,叫做“书籍的教堂”,这是因为其木制拱顶与巴洛克风格老教堂的附属礼拜堂非常相似。长屋也是著名的《凯尔经》的珍藏之地,这部书籍撰写于公元800年,是有华丽文字装饰的手抄本新约圣经。
Tsinghua University
清华大学(微博)
Beijing, China
位于中国北京市
Forbe’s panel of architects says natural setting plays a big part in assessing a campus’ beauty. In that regard, this campus is blessed: Founded in 1925, Tsinghua sits on the former site of the Qing Dynasty’s royal gardens. Many of Beijing’s most notable historical sites, like the Summer Palace, are close by. The campus is peppered with artificial ponds where stone benches and floating lotus blossoms inspire reflection.
《福布斯》的建筑师评定小组一致认为,自然景观在这次校园“选美”中占有很大的比重。在这方面,水木清华园可谓是得天独厚。始建于1925年的清华大学在几处清朝皇家园林旧址上修建而成。该校四周坐落着许多著名的京城名胜(如颐和园,圆明园)。校园内点缀着巧夺天工的人工湖。湖边的石凳,水面上摇曳的荷花,都让人心旷神怡,浮想联翩。
United States Air Force Academy
美国空军学院
Colorado Springs, Colo., US
位于美国科罗拉多州斯普林斯
Kevin Lippert, publisher of the Princeton Architectural Press, picked this campus because it is “a masterpiece of mid-20th-century American Modernism, rather than something in the traditional Collegiate Gothic or Oxford style.” He adds: “Many of the buildings are clad in aluminum, suggesting the skin of airplanes, and the Cadet’s Chapel there is often called one of the most beautiful buildings in America, collegiate or otherwise.”
普林斯顿建筑出版社的出版商凯文•利珀特选择了美国空军学院。理由很简单,因为它是“20世纪中期美国现代主义建筑的伟大作品,与传统的学院哥特式或牛津风格毫无关联。”他还补充说道:“很多建筑的外层都覆有一层铝合金材质,以暗示飞机机身,尤其是它的地标性建筑,军校生礼拜堂,无论是在大学建筑还是其他建筑中都可谓是全美最美丽的建筑之一。”
University of Bologna
博洛尼亚大学
Bologna, Italy
位于意大利博洛尼亚
Arguably the oldest university in the Western world, the University of Bologna’s actual “campus” is the city of Bologna itself, says David Meyerick, who teaches at Notre Dame’s School of Architecture. “What the university lacks in personal identity, it makes up for in being inextricably tied to its environment,” says Meyerick.
勿庸质疑,这里是西方世界最古老的一所大学。实际上,博洛尼亚大学的校园就是博洛尼亚市本身。任教于美国圣母大学建筑学院的大卫•迈耶尼克教授在谈到博洛尼亚大学时表示:“就个性化而言,这个学校稍有欠缺,不过,它与外部环境的浑然一体弥补了这方面的缺憾。”
University of California, Santa Cruz
加州大学圣克鲁兹分校
Santa Cruz, Calif., US
位于美国加州圣克鲁兹
Housed on a former ranch perched above the Pacific, the UCSC campus offers open meadows, redwood forests and panoramic ocean views. Architect Natalie Shivers says the California campus’ buildings and “circulation networks” for both cars and pedestrians “are carefully designed and tucked into the natural landscape” to preserve both the environment and the vistas. It’s no wonder students like to study outdoors and that the campus has created 100 points of wireless access throughout the grounds.
加州大学圣克鲁兹分校的前身是一座面朝太平洋的美丽牧场。该校拥有开阔的草地,红杉林以及无敌海景。建筑设计师娜塔莉•夏弗斯表示,为了保护环境和自然景观,校园内的建筑以及服务行人车辆的交通网络,都经过精心设计,与自然景观融为一体。难怪这里的学生都爱上了户外学习,校方甚至安装了100个无线网络接入点,遍布校园各个角落。

伊万卡•特朗普曾被誉为“全球第一单身美女富豪”。已结婚生子的她如今不仅是特朗普集团执行副总裁,还创办了一家自己的服装公司。这位全球第一美女富豪究竟是如何管理时间的?
当伊万卡•特朗普结束了一天的工作回到家中后,她会立即脱下职业装,换上一套更舒适的衣服——哪怕是准备赶赴工作晚餐前仅有的几分钟时间里,她也会这么做,就是为了抱抱两个宝贝孩子。
她说:“我需要这样做,在精神上把工作和生活分开来。哪怕这时候手机还在响,我还在查电子邮件。”
从更换衣服的速度可以看出,这位从地产高管转型为时装企业家的商界精英确实在竭力区分工作和家庭生活。实际上,32岁的特朗普正试图让雇主改变对女性领导者的期望——她首先要在自己的公司里做出改变。
特朗普今年荣登《财富》杂志(Fortune)“40位40岁以下商界精英榜单”(40 Under 40 list)的第33位。她说:“职场生活再也不是朝九晚五。如今的职场女性需要处理多维度的任务,既需要照顾家庭,还需要拥有个人生活空间。此外,许多女性其实是在全天候工作,因为她们不得不把工作带回家中。培育和创造一个有利于这些女性的大环境,是非常重要的。”
2010年,特朗普创立了自己的公司——伊万卡•特朗普服装及配饰公司(Ivanka Trump Apparel and Accessories),公司最初主要经营鞋类。从那时起,该公司已扩大到11种不同的产品类别。除了超过300个零售店之外,其产品还在诺德斯特龙百货(Nordstrom)、梅西百货(Macy’s)、布鲁明黛百货(Bloomingdale’s)等卖场出售。当特朗普创办公司并雇佣了一小群员工之后,她就一直在思考公司文化如何才能更好地支持像她这种还需要在家照顾孩子的职业女性。除了经营自己的服装公司,特朗普还在她父亲的地产帝国特朗普集团(Trump Organization)兼任发展及并购部副总裁。在特朗普集团,伊万卡主要负责一些重大项目,比如与美国政府合作翻新华盛顿特区旧邮局的项目,该项目竞争激烈,标的金额高达两亿美元。
首先,特朗普的服装公司并没有设立正式假期或带薪病假制度。她主要雇用的是那些从来不会梦想着滥用这种制度并请假,能全心全意为公司效力的人。作为3岁孩子阿拉贝拉和1岁孩子约瑟夫的母亲,特朗普的公司为那些需要不时把孩子带来上班的员工创设了“儿童角”。
特朗普还允许员工安排好自己的日程,以便他们能在一大早进行马拉松训练,送孩子上学或放学去接孩子。由于她意识到,在当前这个高度互联的工作环境中,要求员工在办公室面对面工作几乎已经变得不合时宜,因此她没有打造“坐班”文化。她说,所有工作都是可以衡量的,只要你认真干活,就能在公司脱颖而出。
特朗普称:“对那些因为很快完成工作,离开公司去和丈夫约会的高效员工,我是不会惩罚的。”
那么,为什么不是所有老板都能采取同样的进步政策呢?这是因为他们害怕。她说:“有些老板如果不能随时管理并看到每个人,他们就非常担心自己对公司失去控制。但我认为,这归根结底还是取决于你雇佣了什么样的员工。”
至于如何在母亲、地产专家和时尚品牌老板这些角色中自如转换,特朗普称,只需要简单一步,她就能掌控大局。比如,如果她要出差几天的话,回纽约的头天晚上她就不会安排工作晚餐。但如果孩子病了,或是有其他大事,那么她就会把所有安排先放在一边。
她说:“如此一来,生活和工作的平衡就打破了,但生活毕竟是马拉松,不是短跑。”
这位地产大亨的女儿很清楚,作为特朗普财富的继承人,有些人会对她的商业嗅觉将信将疑,但她从来不理会这些看法。她太忙了,既要打理自己的生意,又要推动特朗普集团的发展,没工夫搭理别人对她的批评。
她说:“置身于公众视野之中,如果你老是想着别人是怎么看你,那只会是自寻烦恼。做好自己就可以了。有些人就想看到我的毛病,但他们并不了解我,这不会让我感到困扰,除非我的所作所为确实强化了这种看法。”
When Ivanka Trump gets home after a long day at work, she immediately switches from her professional clothes to something more comfortable – even if she’s there for just a few minutes to hug her two toddlers before heading off to a work dinner.
“I need that mental separation,” she says. “Even though my phone is still ringing and I am still checking my email.”
A quick wardrobe change is really as far as the real estate exec turned fashion entrepreneur goes to separate her work life from home. Instead, 32-year-old Trump is trying to reset the expectations employers have of female leaders – and she is starting with her own company.
“Life isn’t nine to five anymore,” says Trump, who is No. 33 on Fortune’s 40 Under 40 list this year. “It is important to cultivate and create an environment that is conducive to multidimensional women who have families and lives outside of the office and who are working 24 hours a day because they are bringing their work home with them.”
In 2010, Trump launched her own company, Ivanka Trump Apparel and Accessories with a line of footwear. Since then, it has expanded into 11 different product lines sold in Nordstrom, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s along with 300 more locations. As Trump has built out the company — and hired a small group of employees — she has kept an eye on how the corporate culture supports women like herself who are juggling young kids at home. On top of running her own clothing company, Trump is also executive vice president of development and acquisitions for her father Donald’s real estate empire, the Trump Organization. At Trump, Ivanka spearheads top projects like the highly competitive $200 million deal with the U.S. government to redevelop the Old Post Office in Washington D.C.#p#分页标题#e#
To start, Trump does not have a formal vacation or paid sick day policy for her apparel company’s employees. She focuses on hiring people who would never dream of abusing this policy and use their time off so they can perform at their best for the firm. Trump, the mother of three-year-old Arabella and one-year-old Joseph, set up a “kid corner” in her office for employees who need to bring their children to work from time to time.
Trump also empowers her employees to set their own schedules so they can train for a marathon in the morning, walk their kids to school or pick them up after. Rather than build a “butts in seats” culture, Trump recognizes that face-time in the office is hardly applicable anymore in our highly connected work. Everything can be measured, says Trump, so as long as you are performing, you can excel at her firm, she says.
“I don’t penalize highly efficient people because they got what they need to get done and leave to go on a date with their husbands,” says Trump.
So why hasn’t every employer adopted the same progressive policies as Trump? They’re scared: “People are so afraid of losing control if they can’t manage everyone and see everyone, but I think it really boils down to the people you hire,” she said.
As for juggling her own hats as mom, real estate maven and fashion brand owner, Trump says there are simple step she takes to make things more manageable. If she is away for a work trip for a few days, for example, she won’t schedule a work dinner for her first night back in New York. But if her child gets sick or a big deal comes down the pipeline, all planning goes out the window.
“Then you don’t have balance anymore, but life is a marathon not a sprint,” she said.
The daughter of the Donald is aware that her position as the heir to the Trump fortune makes some people doubt her business acumen, but she doesn’t let it faze her. She’s too busy building her own business and growing the Trump Organization to worry about her critics anyway.
“When you are in the public eye, it is really counterproductive to think about how you’re viewed in the eyes of others,” she says. “You just have to be who you are. someone wants to have flawed viewpoint of me and doesn’t know me, that doesn’t particularly bother me, unless I am doing something that reinforces that view.”

下面就给你cram恶补一下关于global warming的英文知识,让你在聊起环保话题也游刃有余!
什么是全球变暖? What is Global Warming? Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in Earth’s average surface temperature over the past century primarily due to the greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels. The global average surface temperature rose 0.6 to 0.9 degrees Celsius (1.1 to 1.6° F) between 1906 and 2005, and the rate of temperature increase has nearly doubled in the last 50 years. Temperatures are certain to go up further.
自然界有正常的“温室效应” Earth’s natural greenhouse effect Earth’s temperature begins with the Sun. Roughly 30 percent of incoming sunlight is reflected back into space by bright surfaces like clouds and ice. Of the remaining 70 percent, most is absorbed by the land and ocean, and the rest is absorbed by the atmosphere. The absorbed solar energy heats our planet. As the rocks, the air, and the seas warm, they radiate “heat” energy (thermal infrared radiation). From the surface, this energy travels into the atmosphere where much of it is absorbed by water vapor and long-lived greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. When they absorb the energy radiating from Earth’s surface, microscopic water or greenhouse gas molecules turn into tiny heaters— like the bricks in a fireplace, they radiate heat even after the fire goes out. They radiate in all directions. The energy that radiates back toward Earth heats both the lower atmosphere and the surface, enhancing the heating they get from direct sunlight. This absorption and radiation of heat by the atmosphere—the natural greenhouse effect—is beneficial for life on Earth. If there were no greenhouse effect, the Earth’s average surface temperature would be a very chilly -18°C (0°F) instead of the comfortable 15°C (59°F) that it is today.
加强版“温室效应” The enhanced greenhouse effectWhat has scientists concerned now is that over the past 250 years, humans have been artificially raising the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at an ever-increasing rate, mostly by burning fossil fuels, but also from cutting down carbon-absorbing forests. Since the Industrial Revolution began in about 1750, carbon dioxide levels have increased nearly 38 percent as of 2009 and methane levels have increased 148 percent.

15. heal the world–meachael kjackson他是疯狂热爱和不羁职责的承受者,年轻的巨富,心理怪异而各声纯洁的奇人,他富于创造,不向任何一个流派*拢,虽然,杰克逊现在的形象不 好,但他曾经为世界的慈善事业作了很大的贡献,这首歌也正是他心意的表现吧…最起码他在音乐方面的高度是谁都无法否认的。
16. the girl is mine–meachael jackson.纯洁的仿佛童话,干净的让人不敢呼吸…
17. delicious way–仓木麻衣。我本人也十分仇恨日本人的,但是听到这么纯洁的歌曲感觉到音乐真的是没有国界的哎~~
18. under the sea小美人鱼(the little mermaid)插曲,可总感觉张邵晗唱的更有活力。再听听原唱的,就知道东西方文化的差异在哪里了。
19. fighter–Christina 厚重有力的嗓音穿透着我的耳膜,装饰着闪亮碎钻的眼眸冲击着我的视网膜…希望有一天,我能够成为那个fighter… 蛮有爆发力的一首歌。
20. without you–mariah carey我喜欢的歌星!因为她在唱功方面显得极为细腻,而且她的声线真的是性感迷人而且非常有爆发力和感染力…~~这是高音上唯一可与i will always love you媲美的歌,下面还有一首两人合唱的,绝对体现唱功哦~~
21. when you believe–mariah carey n’ whitney houston不多说了,任何人都唱不成这样的。
22. Crying in the Rain大概算的上是欧美最具生命力的情歌之一了,这首出自民谣女歌手Carole King的作品对原来舒缓深情的作品来了一次颠覆性的改造…
23. never say goodbye–Hayley Westenra充满曼陀铃和竖琴声音的歌曲当中透显出一个宁静而美丽的少女形象,歌曲是从爱尔兰传统歌曲中改编过来,Hayley Westenra的声音如同丝线一般,在演唱技巧上更已达到完美的境地,而嗓音天生的优美更是让人不得不赞叹和艳羡。
24. Sugar Ray’s Someday。Sugar Ray(据说应该翻译作“拔丝”乐队-_-bbb),他们的音乐风格用一个字就可以形容——Summer,他们只在夏天出片,歌儿一听就让人想起夏天—— 总是阳光明媚、活泼愉快。与此相反的,他们的歌词却是比较深的,那个身上有着13个纹身、英俊得完全不像个rock band主唱的Mark McGrath经常用很夸张的肢体语言在MTV中摇摆,加上十分十分正宗的传统摇滚式配器,恐怕在今天活着的乐队中找不出第二个这样的band。
25. Iris– Goo Goo Dolls清脆急促的吉他solo,John Rzeznik饱含沧桑的低沉嗓音,对世事、爱情满腹的疑问,后面的爆发,“And I don’t want the world to see me, ‘Cause I don’t think that they’d understand. When everything’s made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am!” 这是有着无穷韵味的箴言。
26. Mystical Machine Gun–Kula Shaker比较难得的是,Kula Shaker的音乐受了很多东方思想的影响,这一点同时表现在歌词、音乐和配器之中。乐队唯一真正意义上的专辑就是《Peasants, Pigs & Astronauts》专辑干净的声音,迷幻的吉他,如印度梵音般的和声,充满现场感的录音,总之在当时背景下,属于绝对的异类。
《Donde Voy》
很久没去极品音乐论坛,今天一去就听到一首好听的背景音乐,歌曲的旋律很好给人很奇妙的感觉,不像那些甜的发腻的流行音乐。查了一下才知到原来是齐豫的《tears》中的一首歌,donde voy 是西班牙文意思是where i go,研究了歌词才发现真是一首伤感的歌,伤感到无法形容,其实我不喜欢听太伤感的歌,可是这首真的很吸引人,不由自主的就会沉浸在那个意境中,难以形容的感觉。。。
引用的介绍:“这一首三拍的西班牙情歌,是齐豫极为锺情的一首歌,由齐豫亲自填词。感情途中失去方向感的悲凉与泪干的寂寞,在如诗般行云流水的歌词以及流浪的吉他声中, 整首歌美得令人忍不住深呼吸。”
《In The Waiting Line》
《Destiny》
最近有点喜欢zero 7这个英国迷幻电子乐团,他们擅长电子音乐与混音,轻松卓越的迷幻,空灵而悠远,柔缓,流畅,他们的音乐大都慵懒而又浪漫,据说有人们喜欢将zero 7比做英国的air,因为两者的作品都是那么地恍惚而唯美。
《In The Waiting Line》是一首听过一边就会让人印象深刻的歌,慵懒散漫的女声轻易的就能俘虏你的耳朵,以至于反复聆听了多遍却还不自知,不要被其中好听的女声欺骗,zero 7可是两个男性的组合,这首歌出自Zero 7在2001的第一张专辑“Simple Things”, 女声为: Sia Furler。
《In The Waiting Line》可能是zero 7在中国被人所知最多的一首歌,但我其实更喜欢他们的另一首《Destiny》。最初听这首歌是从一个mv开始的,那是一个由素描制成的mv,女主角在早上迎着日出看着花园里,公路上,地铁中形形色色的人,一边在复杂的社会中穿行一边思念自己所爱的人,思念仿佛随着悠扬而又慵懒的乐声消失与天尽头。。。。。。。
引用的介绍:“2004年英伦Trip-hop新贵乐团乐队Zero 7藉首张专辑《Simple Things》中一鸣惊人,着迷于Zero 7音乐的同时,乐迷们也被其中一把懒洋洋却又质感十足的女声深深吸引。这把让人惊艳的女声来自年轻的澳大利亚女歌手Sia(Sia Furler ,Sia发音是See-ah)。Sia在Zero 7专辑中的声音听起来有点慵懒,散漫着淡淡的爵士味道,由她献声演绎的“Destiny”和“Distractions”两首曲目成为了专辑的两大亮点。随着Zero 7和《Simple Things》在全球火速窜红,Sia的声音也被越来越多的乐迷所熟知。甚至还有乐评将她的歌声与英国电子民谣天后蒂朵的放在一起比较,形容为“你不能错过的年度最酷的Down-Tempo人声”。

First his fingers, forearms and toes tingled; then hewas gripped by a mental paralysis. “I couldn’t thinkabout how to make a decision,” says the banking executive in his mid-forties. “I completelyfroze. I felt my IQ had dropped 50 points.” The trigger for his anxiety, he says, wasunrealistic work demands. “Not making decisions made it worse as I was then not performing.”
先是手指、前臂和脚趾感到刺痛;然后他的精神陷入了麻痹。“我无法思考如何做出决定,”这名四十五岁左右的银行业高管表示,“我完全呆住了。我感觉我的智商下降了50点。”他表示,不切实际的工作要求引发了他的焦虑。“不做决定让事情变得更糟,因为这样我就没有在产生绩效。”
Yet this City worker , who prefers not to be named, tried to conceal his anxiety because hefeared his employer would think he was not cut out for the job. The prevailing culture at hisoffice was to keep your head down, work hard, admit no weakness. He wanted to be seen asefficient and resilient. People noticed that his work — rather than his mental health — wassuffering. “Given that I have always been pretty much the ‘golden boy’, when my boss took meto task I imploded.”
然而,这位希望不具名的伦敦金融城(City of London)从业人士试图隐瞒他的焦虑情绪,因为他害怕他的雇主会认为他不适合干这份工作。在他所在的办公室里,盛行的文化是埋头苦干,不承认自己有任何弱点。他希望被视为一个高效和抗压能力强的员工。人们注意到他的工作业绩——而不是他的精神健康——变差了。“由于我几乎一直是‘金童’,所以当我的老板责备我的时候,我爆发了。”
Plagued by a fear that he was a fraud he considered suicide. That was in 2014.
自己其实是个骗子的念头一直困扰着他,这让他在2014年考虑过自杀。
After receiving psychiatric help he is now back at work and has become an expert atspotting thesigns of anxiety in others. “The characteristics that contribute to stress can also be thereason high achievers have reached their positions — people pleasing, perfectionism, the needto be strong and to be hyper vigilant to emerging threats,” he says.
在接受精神治疗后,他现在已经回到了工作岗位。他变得特别善于发现其他人出现焦虑情绪的迹象。“造成压力的性格特征同时也可能是高成就者取得他们现在的地位的原因——取悦他人、完美主义、希望做强人、以及对威胁的出现高度警觉,”他说。
His case is a stark example of the anxiety and stress that employees experience, andemployers are increasingly having to pay attention to. It is a global phenomenon, but in theUK alone the most recent report from the chief medical officer estimates that the number ofsick days lost to “stress, depression and anxiety” increased by 24 per cent between 2009 and2013. The statistics are alarming: one report from Rotman School of Management in Toronto,published this year shows that 41 per cent of employees from a range of industries reportedhigh levels of anxiety .
他的经历鲜明地体现出员工感受到的焦虑和压力,雇主越来越有必要对此加以关注。这是一个全球性现象,然而仅仅在英国,据政府首席医务官最新的报告估计,2009年到2013年间“压力、抑郁和焦虑”导致的病假天数上升了24%。统计数据令人惊恐:多伦多罗特曼管理学院(Rotman School of Management)今年发表的一份报告表明,在来自一系列行业的员工中,有41%的人称自己焦虑水平很高。
The increase is often blamed on modern working life. The constant buzz of texts, emails andtweets mangles our brains and stalks our sleep; robots are in the ascendancy, threatening tosteal our jobs. New technologies emerge from left-field to flatten established companies;work appears insecure, corporate ties loose. And expectations of professional life havechanged. Work, once the activity we did for money and status, is now supposed to providepersonal fulfilment. The upshot? We are afflicted with unease, fear and worry.
人们常常将这种压力的增加归咎于现代工作方式。短信、邮件和Twitter持续不断的提示音把我们的大脑搅得一团乱,甚至在我们睡觉的时候也如影随形;机器逐渐占据优势地位,威胁着要偷走我们的工作。意想不到的新技术轻而易举地击败老牌公司;工作似乎没有保障,企业纽带很松散。对职业生活的期望也改变了。以前我们工作是为了钱和地位,现在我们据说应该通过工作实现自我价值。结果呢?不安、恐惧和忧虑困扰着我们。
“After a decade of disruption, cutbacks and lay-offs, anxiety among employees is running veryhigh,” says Bill George, a senior fellow at Harvard Business School.
“经过10年的扰乱、削减和裁员后,员工的焦虑已经非常严重了,”哈佛商学院(Harvard Business School)高级研究员比尔吠治(Bill George)表示。
The diagnosis
诊断
Anxiety is typically described as a feeling of unease, worry or fear. When it becomes acute theeffects can be debilitating. Some people are more vulnerable to it than others, at differentperiods in their lives. It is not something we can ever wholly eliminate and it can, at times, behelpful in improving our performance. But too much and it can be corrosive, on occasionleading to alcohol and drug abuse.
焦虑通常是指不安、担忧或恐惧的感觉。当焦虑变严重时,会使人萎靡。在人生的不同阶段,有些人会比别人更容易被焦虑影响。我们不能完全消除焦虑,有时焦虑有助于提升我们的表现。但过度焦虑就会变得有害了,有时候会导致酗酒和吸毒。
Absenteeism is just one problem for employers. The loss of productivity — dubbed“presenteeism” — is another. This occurs when employees come to work but function below parbecause of ill health. Research suggests this trend predominantly affects white-collar workersand that the costs can be high. One report estimated that presenteeism, including all medicaland mental health issues, shaved 2.7 per cent off Australia’s gross domestic product in 2010.A study in the Journal of Applied Psychology, published earlier this year, reported: “Anxietyinterferes with people’s ability to process immediate events, resulting in lower performance.”
对于雇主来说,缺勤只是焦虑造成的问题之一。另一个问题是工作效率降低——又称“假性出勤”。这是指虽然员工来上班了,但是由于健康状况欠佳,工作效率低于一般水平。研究表明,受这种影响的主要是白领,其代价可能十分高昂。一份报告估计,2010年,包括所有身体和精神健康问题在内,假性出勤使澳大利亚国内生产总值(GDP)损失了2.7%。《应用心理学期刊》(Journal of Applied Psychology)今年早些时候发表的一份论文称:“焦虑干扰了人们处理即时事件的能力,从而导致表现低下。”
In response, companies are introducing programmes to help workers cope better with stressand anxiety. Even in hyper-competitive industries such as finance or technology, there isincreased understanding that attending to their employees’mental wellbeing may be good forprofits.
因此,一些公司引入了一些项目,帮助员工更好地应对压力与焦虑。甚至在金融和科技这样竞争极为激烈的行业,也有越来越多的公司认识到关注员工的心理健康可能有助于提高利润。
The causes
起因
Michael Sinclair, a psychologist in the City of London, sees a “tremendous” number of bankersand lawyers with work-induced anxiety. “They work at a relentless pace,” he says. “Thepressure is always on and there is a culture of incessant email communication.”
在伦敦金融城工作的心理学家迈克尔鬠克莱博士(Michael Sinclair)发现,因为工作感到焦虑的银行家和律师数目“巨大”。“他们无休无止地工作,”他说,“压力如影随形,而且有一种不间断邮件沟通的文化。”
But he also believes there is a bigger problem for companies: such anxiety can be infectious. “Acompany’s fear of failure breeds the same fear among its employees creating a ‘companysickness’ and culture of anxiety,” says Dr Sinclair. “Ironically this backfires and impacts thebottom line.”
但他还相信,对企业来说还有一个更大的问题:这种焦虑会传染。“一家公司对失败的恐惧会造成员工产生同样的恐惧,引起‘企业病’和焦虑的企业文化,”辛克莱博士说,“讽刺的是,这适得其反,反而影响了公司的利润。”
Technology is a contributing factor, says Nigel Jones, a lawyer and co-founder of the CityMental Health Alliance, a non-profit organisation for London’s financial services workers. Hebelieves the intensity has increased since he started work 30 years ago.
针对伦敦金融服务业员工成立的非营利性组织伦敦金融城心理健康联盟(City Mental Health Alliance)的联合创始人、律师奈杰尔琼斯(Nigel Jones)表示,科技是一个促成焦虑的因素。他认为,从他30年前参加工作开始,工作的强度就一直在增加。
“Clients want more in terms of speed, quality. There is more pressure at work and the risk ofanxiety is higher,” he says, adding that 27 City employers have become members of thenetwork within two years. “Expectations of a speedy response [to a client] have got higherbut the expectations of the quality of work have not gone down.”
“客户对速度和质量的要求提高了。工作的压力变得更大,出现焦虑情绪的风险也就更高,”他说,并补充道两年内已有27家伦敦金融城的雇主加入了该联盟,“(客户)对于反馈速度的预期提高了,但对于工作质量的预期却没有降低。”
Gianpiero Petriglieri, associate professor of organisational behaviour at Insead Business School,sees the rise of social media as triggering what has become known as “presentation anxiety”,making people feel vulnerable. We suffer from “being always on”, he says.
欧洲工商管理学院(Insead)组织行为学副教授詹皮埃罗簠靟里利埃里(Gianpiero Petriglieri)认为社交媒体的崛起引发了所谓的“展示焦虑”,让人们感到脆弱。他说,“总是在线”让我们感到困扰。
Although unemployment in the UK is at a seven-year low, short-term contracts and overalljob insecurity have risen for millions of people, from steelworkers to nurses and bankers.
虽然英国的失业率处于7年来的低点,但对从钢铁工人、护士到银行家的数百万计的人来说,短期合同和总体上的工作不安全感还是增加了。
Some argue that it is impossible to calculate the impact of changing technology andemployment conditions on the rise in reported cases of anxiety.
有人认为,无法推算出不断变化的科技和就业条件对焦虑增加的影响。
“Trying to directly compare levels of anxiety between eras is a fool’s errand,” says ScottStossel, author of My Age of Anxiety. “Modern poll data and statistics about rising and fallinglevels of tranquilliser [use] aside, there is no magical anxiety meter that can transcend thecultural particularities of place and time.”
“想要直接比较不同时代的焦虑水平只会徒劳无益,”《我的焦虑时代》(My Age of Anxiety)的作者斯科特施托塞尔(Scott Stossel)表示,“排除现代民意调查数据和有关镇静剂使用水平起伏的统计数据,根本不存在一个能够超越不同时空文化特点来衡量焦虑水平的神奇尺度标准。”
