To
invite
eminent
persons
to
help
make
advertisements
should
be
regarded
as
one
of
the
best
advertising strategies and could, of
course, produce a spectacular(powerful) VIP
effect, privided
that
those
celebrities
are
perfectly
willing
to
accept
the
invitation
and,
more
importantly,
the
products
to
be
advertised
are
genuine
and
of
fair
prices.
Sometimes,
while
a
commodity
is
of
inferior quality, the
advertisement is full of words lavishing praise on
it, if a celebrity shows up as
an
image
agent
for
such
a
product,
the
advertisement
could,
if
any,
be
temporarily
successful
before
it
turns
the
brand
of
the
product
in
question
notorious
and,
more
disastrously,
ruins
the
reputation of the
eminent person thereafter. So, the famous are well
advised to think more than
twice before
they agree to appear on the commercial.

III Translation
People who are energetic, happy, and
relaxed are less likely to catch a cold than those
who are
depressed, nervous, or angry.
When the brain is
“
happy
”
, it sends messages to our
organs that
help keep the body healthy
and sound. Your chance of developing the common
cold, pneumonia,
or even cancer may
very well be decreased by keeping your brain in a
healthy state. In addition,
happy
and
relaxed
people
are
prone
to
better
health
practices
than
their
negative
and
stressed
counterparts. They are more likely to
get plenty of sleep and to engaged in regular
exercise, and
have been shown to have
lower levels of certain stress hormones.

III Translation
As one travels abroad and examines the
ways in which space is handled, startling
variations are
discovered; differrences
which we react to vigorously. Since none of us are
taught to look at space
as isolated
from other associations, feelings cued by the
handling of space are often attributed to
something else. In growing up people
learn literarily thousands of spatial cues, all of
which have
their own meanings in their
own contexts.
当人们到海外旅游时,
如果留心
观察外国人如何处理空间关系,
就会发现许多令人惊讶的不
同之
处;
而这些不同之处总让我们反应强烈。
因为从来没有人教我们
要把空间与其它联想区
别开来,
所以我们常认为空间处理引发的
感觉是出于其它的原因。
从小到大。
人们要学会几
千种空间暗示,所有这些暗示在不同的情境中都有不同的含义。

III Translation
Wealth
exposed American manners to continuing
international scrutiny because it underwrote an
expansion of tourism. In the late
nineteenth century the American abroad symbolized
for some the
dangders
of
sudden
wealth
and
became
an
instrument
to
expose
comparative
social
codes
and
standards of morality.
Boasting, vulgarity, obsessive acquisitiveness,
and insensitivity were soon
associated
with
this
early
version
of
the
Ugly
American.
Representing
a
small
portion
of
the
population, the
international travelers seemed to stand for the
whole country in the eyes of many
foreigners, and it was the prodigality
of their wealth, the apparently limitless wallets
and purses,
that
seemed
most
dangerous.
American
money
threatened
to
loot
the
Old
World
of
its
historic
treasures, and
aggressive celebrity hunters and relic gatherers
to invade European privacy as well.

财富使美国人的行为一直受到国际上的关注,因为它是旅游业的基础。
19
世纪末,有人认
为,
在海外的美
国人是那些骤增财富的内在危险的象征,
并使他们那并非完美无缺的社会准
则和道德标准面临腐蚀的危险。
自吹自擂、粗俗鲁莽、贪得无厌、
麻木不仁很快成了早期的
丑陋美国人的象征。
周游
列国的旅行者在全国人口中虽然只是一小部分,
但在许多外国人眼
里,他们好像代表了这个国家的所有人。
他们挥霍无度,
看起
来有用之不尽的资产,这是最
大的危险。
美钞大有把旧世界历史
上的奇珍异宝掠之一空之势。
一群追逐名利和涉猎文物古
玩的人
无孔不入,极大地扰乱了欧洲人的私生活。

III Translation
我赞成这样的理想:
人应该各方面都很出色,
< br>既要有头脑,也要有健美的体格。我希望能得
到某种幸福和快乐。
美国是能得到这些东西的最好的地方,
因为这里的人和我们的思想来自
世界各地。至今到美国来寻梦的仍然大有人在。
现在我明白了,
决定美国梦能否实现的不是教育、
不是机会、
也不是艰苦的工作,
而是权势
和恐惧感
。
你在企业里爬到的地位越高,
你失去的东西就越多。美国梦并
没有破灭。今天在
美国十分流行的想法是:千万不能失去梦想。
I agree to this ideal: people should be
good in all aspects, It is necessary to have not
only the
mind, but also magnificent
physique. I hope to get some kind of happiness and
joy. The United
States is the best
place to get these things, because the people here
and their ideas come from all
over the
world. So far , here are still many people to seek
a dream.
Now I know, It is
not education, not opportunities, and not hard
work, but power and fear that
decide
whether
the
American
dream
can
come
to
be
or
not.
The
higher
your
position
is
in
enterprise,
the
more
you
lose
something.
The
American
dream
is
not
the
end.
The idea
is
very
popular in the United States today:
never lose one
’
s dream.
