3.
We
have
replaced
ethnic

identity,
the
way
we
replaced
neighborhoods with
the workplace, which is quite obvious among the
mobile professions.
像工作单位取代居住地一样
,
我们的种族身份已被职

.
这一现象在流动作
业的
行业中表现得尤为明显
.
4. Plainly, in
any large enterprise the boss cannot be directly

、
Not all the
neighborhoods are empty, nor is every workplace a
friendly playground.
Most of us
have
had mixed experiences
in these environments.
Yet
as one woman told me
recently, she
knows more about the people she passes on the way
to her desk than on her way
around
the
block.
Our
new
sense
of
community
hasn
?
t
just
moved
from
house
to
office
building. The labels that we wear
connect us with members from distant companies,
cities,
and states. We assume that we
have something
“
in
common
”
with other teachers,
nurses, city
planners.
不是所有的
住宅区都是空的，
也不是所有的工作单位都是友好的。多数人在这些环境里
都曾有过复杂的经历。
然而，
最近一位女性朋友告诉
我她对工作单位里的人的了解程度
要胜于对同一街区人的了解程度。我们不仅把社区的概
念从住宅区搬进了办公楼，
上班
时身上所佩戴的标志也把我们和
异国他乡的人们和公司员工联系在一起。
我们假设自己
和其他的
教师、护士、城市规划者有着某些共同点。
12
、
It
?
s
not
unlike
the
experience
of
our
immigrant
grandparents.
Many
who
came
to
this
country
still identified themselves as members of the
Italian community, the Irish communtiy,
the
Polish
community.
They
sought
out
and
assumes
connection
with
people
from
the
old
country,
Many
of
us
have
updated
that
experience.
We
have
replaced
ethnic
identity
with
professional
identity,
the
way
we
replaced
neighborhood
with
the
workplace.
This
whole
realignment of community is surely most
obvious among the mobile professions. People who
move from city to city seem to put
roots into their professions. In an age of
specialists, they
may have to search
harder to find people who speak the same language.
这有点像最初移民来到美国的我们的祖辈们的经历，
许多人来到
这里后把自己原来的国
籍当成一个社区，所以有意大利人社区、爱尔兰人社区、波兰社区
等。他们不断寻找并
设想自己与来自同一个国家的人们有着亲密的联系。我们把这种体验
提升了一步。
像用
工作单位取代居住地一样，
< br>我们用专业身份取代了种族身份。这种社区的完全重组在流
动作业的行业中表现得
最为明显，
那些在不同城市变换工作的人似乎把自己的身份植根
于他们的行业中。
在这个充满专业人士的时代，他们不得不费尽周折去寻找有共同语言<
/p>
的人。

course she set. Small progress was no excuse for
feeling
satisfied
with
yourself. People who stopped
to pat
themselves on the
back
didn
?
t last long.
Even if you got to the top, you
?
d better not take it easy.
“
The bigger they come, the
harder
they fall
”
was one of her favorite maxims.
进取、进取、再
进取，这是母亲给我设定的方向。小小的进步是不足以自我满足的。那
些因成功而沾沾自
喜停下来欣赏自己的人是不会持久的。
即使你已经到达顶峰，你也最
好不要放松。爬得越高，摔得越痛，是母亲的至理名言。
32
、
It
wasn
?
t the gin that was
shouting. It was my mother. The gin only gave me
the courage
to announce to them that
yes, by God, I had always believed in success, had
always believed
that
without
hard
work
and
self-discipline
you
could
never
amount
to
anything,
and
didn
?
t
deserve to.
其实不是杜松子酒在吼，是我的母亲
在吼。酒只是借给了我勇气向他们宣布那个想法。
是的，上帝可以作证，我一直相信成功
，一直相信如果没有辛勤的劳动和严格的自律，
一个人不可能有任何成就，也不配有成就
。
