Unit 11. We love to hear the stories of people who have been transformed by their tribulations perhaps because they testify to a bona fide type of psychological truth, one that sometimes gets lost amid endless reports of disaster: There seems to be a built-in human capacity to flourish under the most difficult circumstances. Positive responses to profoundly disturbing experiences are not limited to the toughest or the bravest. In fact, roughly half the people who struggle with adversity say that their lives have subsequently in some ways improved.我们都爱听人们经历苦难后发生转变的故事，可能是因为这些故事证实了一条真正的心理学上的真理，这条真理有时会湮没在无数关于灾难的报道中：在最困难的境况中，人所具有的一种内在的奋发向上的能力会迸发出来。

对那些令人极度恐慌的经历做出积极回应的并不仅限于最坚强或最勇敢的人实际上，大约半数与逆境抗争过的人都说他们的生活从此在某些方面有了改善2. It turns out that some of the people who have suffered the most, who have been forced to contend with shocks they never anticipated and to rethink the meaning of their lives, may have the most to tell us about that profound and intensely fulfilling journey ‖ that philosophers used to call the search for “the good life”.有证明显示，那些遭受最多痛苦的人，那些被迫和他们从未预料到的震撼作斗争，并且思考自己生命意义的人，也许能就深奥而极具成就感的经历给予我们最多的意见哲学家们过去把这一探寻称之为“美好的生活”3. In that moment, our sense of invulnerability is pierced, and the self-protective mental armor that normally stands between us and our perceptions of the world is torn away. 在那个时刻，我们的安全感被冲破了(洞穿），平时处于我们与我们对世界的种种看法之间的自我保护的精神盔甲被剥离了。

4. Still, actually implementing these changes, as well as fully coming to terms with a new reality, usually takes conscious effort. （TS）Being willing and able to take on this process is one of the major differences between those who grow through adversity and those who are destroyed by it. The people who find value in adversity aren’t the toughest or the most rational. What makes them different is that they are able to incorporate what happened into the story of their own life.尽管如此，要实际实现这些转变并完全接受新的现实，通常需要有意识地付出努力。

是否愿意并有能力承担这个过程，就是那些在灾难中成长和那些被灾难所摧毁的人之间主要的区别之一认为灾难有价值的人并不是最坚强或最理性的人使他们与众不同的是他们能够将所遭遇的事融入他们自己的人生历程中Unit 21.

(Para. 2) 尽管观众对于体育的拥护背后潜藏着多种动机，但他们对体育比赛的兴趣通常与三种相结合的因素有关。

4. Without this technical knowledge, people are easily impressed by things extrinsic to the game or match itself; they get taken in by hype. (Para. 4) 由于缺乏这些技术性知识，人们容易受到运动或赛事之外的东西的影响，容易受到天花乱坠的宣传的迷惑5. They like athletes who project exciting or controversial personas, and they often rate performances in terms of dramatic expression leading to dramatic results. (Para. 5)他们喜欢那些表现得激动人心或有争议性的运动员他们往往根据戏剧化的表现是否导致戏剧化的结果来评价比赛6. As the need to please nave audiences becomes greater, so does the emphasis on heroic orientation. (Para. 7) 取悦无知观众的需求越强烈，就越会强调英雄主义取向。

7. Therefore athletes in many commercial sports find themselves cut out of decision-making processes even when decisions affect their health and well-being. (Para. 7) 因此，许多商业体育中的运动员发现自己被逐出了决策过程，即便这些决策影响到他们的健康和幸福Unit 41. Thanks to the ubiquity of text on the Internet, not to mention the popularity of text-messaging on cell phones, we may well be reading more today than we did in the 1970s or 1980s, when television was our medium of choice. (Para. 6)多亏铺天盖地的网络文本，更别说当下时兴的短信，可供我们阅读的东西很可能比上世纪七八十年代要多了，那时，我们选择的媒体还是电视。

(Para. 2)婚姻充其量不过是一种妥协, 而如果恰好两个个性上互不妥协的人结合了, 那就肯定会有麻烦。

4. In the lives of these two young people there was no middle distance. ( Para. 3)对于这样两个年轻人来说, 生活没有什么中间点5. In some parts of the world, incompatibility of temper is considered a just cause for obtaining a divorce, but in England no such subtle distinction is made, and so until the wife became a criminal, or the man became both criminal and cruel, these two were linked together by a bond that only death could sever. (Para. 4)在这世界上的某些地方,夫妻性情不合就能成为离婚的正当理由, 但是在英格兰并没有如此微妙的区分,所以除非妻子犯罪,或丈夫犯罪并且为人残暴,否则两者的婚姻关系一直维系下去,直至死神将他们分开.6. When a mans mind dwells too much on one subject, no one can tell just how far he will go. 。
