英译汉第一篇
You
’
ve
temporarily misplaced your cell phone and
anxiously retrace your steps to try to find
it. Or perhaps you never let go of your
phone
—
it's always in your
hand, your pocket, or your
bag, ready
to be answered or consulted at a
moment
’
s notice. When your
battery life runs
down at the end of
the day, you feel that yours is running low as
well. New research shows
that
there
’
s a psychological
reason for such extreme phone dependence:
According to the
attachment theory, for
some of us, our phone serves the same function as
the teddy bear
we clung to in
childhood.
Attachment
theory proposes that our early life experiences
with parents responsible for our
well-
being,
are
at
the
root
of
our
connections
to
the
adults
with
whom
we
form
close
relationships.
Importantly, attachment in early life can extend
to inanimate objects. Teddy
bears, for
example, serve as
“
transitional
objects.
”
The
teddy bear, unlike the parent, is
always there. We extend our dependence
onparents to these animals, and use them to help
us move to an independent sense of
self.
A
cell
phone
has
the
potential
to
be
a
“
compensatory
attachment
”
object.
Although
phones
are
often
castigated
for
their
addictive
potential,
scientists
cite
evidence
that
supports the idea that
“
healthy, normal adults also
report significant emotional attachment
to special
objects
”
Indeed, cell phones have
become a pervasive feature of our lives: The
number of cell phone
users
exceeds
the
total
population
of
the
planet.
The
average
amount
of
mobile
or
smartphone use in the U.S. is 3.3 hours
per day.
People
also like to be near their phones:
A
2013 survey cited by the Hungarian team. Nearly as
many people report being distressed
when they
’
re
separated from their have distinct advantages.
They can be
kept by your side and they
provide a social connection to the people you care
about. Even if
you
’
re not
talking to your friends, lover, or family, you can
keep their photos close by, read
their
messages, and follow them on social media. You can
track them in real time but also
look
back on memorable moments together. These channels
help you
“
feel less
alone
”

Many

of

in
developing countries.
But
some
argue
that
it's
a
vague
idea,
some
organizations
may
use
it
in
it's
own
interests,
whether
environmental
or
economic
is
the
nature
of
interests.
Others
argue
that
sustainable
development in
developing countries overlook the local
customs,habitude and people.
Whereas interdependence is desirable
during times of peace, war necessitates
competition
and
independence.
Tariffs
and
importation
limits
strengthen
a
country's
economic
vitality
while potentially weakening the
economies of its enemies. Moreover, protectionism
in the
weapons industry is highly
desirable during such circumstances because
reliance on another
state for armaments
can be fatal.
For the most
part, economists emphasize the negative effects of
protectionism. It reduces
international
trade and raises prices for consumers. In
addition, domestic firms that receive
protection have less incentive to
innovate. Although free trade puts uncompetitive
firms out
of business, the displaced
workers and resources are ultimately allocated to
other areas of
the economy.
Imposing
quotas
is
a
method
used
to
protect
trade,
since
foreign
companies
cannot
ship
more
products
regardless
of
how
low
they
set
their
prices.
Countries
that
hope
to
help
a
new
industry thrive locally often impose quotas on
imported goods. They believe that such
restrictions allow entities in the new
industry to develop their own competitive
advantages
and produce the products
efficiently. Developing countries often use this
argument to justify
their restrictions
on foreign goods.
Protectionism
’
s
purpose
is
usually
to
create
jobs
for
domestic
workers.
Companies
that
operate
in
industries
protected
by
quotas
hire
workers
locally.
Another
disadvantage
of
quotas is the reduction
in the quality of products in the absence of
competition from foreign
companies.
Without
competition,
local
firms
are
less
likely
to
invest
in
innovation
and
improve their products and services.
Domestic sellers don
’
t have
an incentive to enhance
