一、



Communications technologies


are far from


equal when it comes to conveying the


truth.


通讯技术在传递真相的时候并不是简单地和真相本身一致。



The first study to compare honesty across a range of communication media has


found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in


emails.



从第一项对使用不 同通讯媒介时的诚实程度的比较重可以看出,


人们在使用


电话时 的说谎几率是使用电子邮件时的两倍。



The fact that emails are automatically recorded-and can come back to haunt (




) you-appears to be the key to the finding.


因为电子邮件内容会 被自动记录下来


----


并可能对你造成困扰

< br>----


这就是这


项研究的关键所在。

< br>


Jeff



Hancock


of


Cor'nell


University


in


Ithaca


[


'iθ?

< p>
k


?


]


,


New


York,


asked


30


students to keep a communications diary for a week.



Jeff



Hancock


在位于纽约州伊萨卡的康奈尔大学执教,他曾要求


30

< br>个学生


记录一周中每天的通讯情况。



In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting


more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told.



参与 其中的人需要记录超过


10


分钟的对话或者电子邮件通讯的数量 ,


并且要


坦诚自己说了多少谎话。



Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium.


He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant messages, 27


percent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 percent of phone calls.


Hancock


据此推算出使用各种通讯媒介在每次交流过程中说谎的次 数。


他得


出结论:谎言在电子邮件通讯中占了

< br>14%


,在当面沟通中占了


27%


,而在电话


交流中占了


37%


His results, to be presented at the conference on human computer interaction in


Vienna[vi


?


en


?


], Austria['


?


:st ri


?


], in April, have surprised psychologists.



这项 研究结果于


4


月份再奥地利维也纳的



人与电脑互动国际会议



上被宣


读,并且令心理学家们感到惊讶。



Some expected e-mailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception


makes people uncomfortable, the detachment (


非直接接触


) of e-mailing would make


it easier to lie.


有人认为电 子邮件是最主要的谎言媒介,


因为欺骗会让人不适,


而电子邮件


非直接接触的特性使其更容易成为谎言发生的渠道。



Others


expected


people


to


lie


more


in


face-to- face


exchanges


because


we


are


most practiced at that form of communication.

还有人认为在当面交流的过程中更容易说谎,


因为当面交流史最常见的沟通


方式。


(因为人们更擅长当面交流,所以撒谎技术更娴熟)




But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a conversation is being recorded and


could be reread, and whether occurs in real time.


但是


Hancock


认为同样重要的是对话过程是否会被记 录下来并能够被重新


阅读,以及对话是否是即时发生的。



People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later


be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than


on the phone.


当人们觉得时候要对交流过程负 责时,


就会对说谎存有恐惧感。


这就是为什

么电子邮件中的谎言要少于电话中的。



People are also more likely to lie in real time-in an instant message to phone call,


say-than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock.



Hancock


说,与有时间思考如何回应的情况相比,人们也更倾向于在即时交


流过程中说谎


---


例如在即时信息或者电话中。



He found many lies are spontaneous (


脱口而出的


) responses to an unexpected


demand, such as:


他发现很多谎言都是对一些偶然问题脱口而出的回应,例如:



你 觉得我的


裙子怎么样?



Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their


employees to communicate.



Hancock


希望他的研究结果能帮助公司找出员工之间沟通的最佳途径。



For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are


encouraged to stretch the truth.



But, given his result, work assessment, where honesty is a priority, might be best


done using email.


但是根据该 项研究结果,在做以诚实为重的工作时,最好还是发电子邮件。

should


be


allowed to come,work and live here?


在一个以理念,

工作和生活呢?



In


the


wake


of


the

attacks


these


questions


have


never


seemed

Many immigrants in Salt Lake City were angered by the arrests and said they felt


as if they were being treated like disposable goods.


许多在盐湖城的移民对于被捕感到非 常气愤,


并表示感觉自己就像被丢弃的


东西一样。



Mayor Anderson said those feelings were justified to a certain extent.

Anderson


市长称这些人的感受就某种程度而言是有根据的

If Sept.11 had never happened the airport workers would not have been arrested


and could have gone on quietly living in America,probably indefinitely .


如果



没有发生,机场工作人员就不 会被捕,可以在美国一直过着安宁

一、



Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water




which is


harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland




Canada.


从加拿大纽芬兰海岸附近的冰山采集而来的< /p>


Iceberg


瓶装水,在北美到达了


流 行的新巅峰。



Arthur von Wiesenberger




who carries the title Water Master




is one of the few


water critics in North America.



拥有



水之 大师



头衔的


Arthur von Wiesenberger



是北美为数不多的



水评家



之一。

< p>


As a boy




he spent time in the larger cities of Italy




France and Switzerland




where bottled water is consumed daily.



孩童时代的她,在一些意大利、法国和瑞士的大城市里待了很 长一段时间,


那些地方每天会消费大量的瓶装水。



Even then




he kept a water journal




noting the brands he liked best. “My dog


could tell the difference between bottled and tap water



” He says.



从那之后,他写了一本水日记,记录他最喜好的品牌。



连我的狗都可以分


辨瓶装水和自来水



他戏称。



But is plain tap water all that bad




Not at all. In fact




New York’s municipal


water


for


more


than


a


century


was


called


the


champagne


of


tap


water


and


until


recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity.



但平淡无味的普通自来水就那么糟糕吗?不尽然。

< p>
事实上,


过去的一个多世


纪以来,


纽约的水被称为自来水中的香槟酒,


最近更被人称为在未到和纯净方面


属于全球最好之一。



Similarly




a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River


tasted better than several


leading


brands of bottled water that were 400


times more


expensive.


同样,一本英国杂志发现院子泰晤士河的自来水尝起来远比一些贵上


400< /p>



的大牌瓶装水要好。



Nevertheless




soft



drink companies view bottled water as the next



battleground


for


market


share



this


despite


the


fact


that


over


25


percent


of


bottled water comes from tap water




PepsiCo’s


Aquafina and Coca



Cola’s Dasani


are both purified tap water rather than spring water.


然而,


软饮料公司认为瓶装水是 下一个市场份额的战场


---


尽管事实上超过百


分二十五的瓶装水来自自来水。


Pepsico


公司的


Aquafina



Coca-Col a



Dasani


两者都是净化过的自 来水,而非矿泉水。



As diners thirst for leading brands




bottlers and restaurateurs salivate


(垂涎)



over the profits.



用餐者都渴望喝大牌的瓶装水,瓶装水供 应商和参观则垂涎背后的利润。



A


restaurant’s


typical


mark



up


on


wine


is


100


to


150


percent




whereas


on


bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent.



餐厅通常会在将酒价标高至


100%



150%



然后在瓶装水上,


通常是


300%

< p>


500%



But since water is much cheaper than wine




and many of the fancier brands


aren’t available in stores




most diners don’t notice or care.



但由于水比酒廉价多了,


况且许多稀奇古怪的品牌在商店里买不到,

< br>大多数


用餐的人也就不注意,不关心了。



As a result




some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water.



结果,好些餐厅都在想方设法卖瓶装水。



According


to


an


article


in


The


Street


Journal




some


of


the


more


shameless


tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell




listing brands


on


the


menu


without


prices




and


pouring


bottled


water


without


even


asking


the


diners if they want it.


根据《华尔街日报》的一篇文章,一些比较无耻的 手法包括:在餐厅桌上放


置有人的瓶子用以视觉销售;


菜单只罗 列瓶装品牌却无价格;


还有叶不问用餐者


是否想要,直接给你倒 瓶装水。



Regardless of how it’s sold




the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire


for better health




our wish to appear cultivated




and even a longing for lost purity.


且不论销售手段,


瓶装水的流行利用了我们那一份对健康的渴求,


那一份看


起来有教养的心愿,以及那一份对于久违了的纯净的渴望。



二、



As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from


curing


disease


to


preventing


disease


-


especially


in


terms


of


changing


our


many


unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise.



如今我们发现,


社会医疗保健的重心 正从治疗疾病转移到放置疾病


---


尤其在

改变我们诸多不良习惯方面,如:暴饮暴食,抽烟和缺乏锻炼。



The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further.



与该改革息息相关的一类观点都需要进一步摸索。



Imagine


a


person


who


is


about


the


right


weight,


but


does


not


eat


very


nutritious(


有营养的


) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes


to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home


most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal


blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired.



想象这样一个人,体重恰好,偏不吃有营养的失误;感觉良好,但鲜有机会

< br>锻炼;每天上班,但业绩一般;晚上大多在家里喝些啤酒,但不会酒后驾车;而


且 胸部不痛,血压正常,可惜睡的很多且时常觉得累。



This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But


we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.


这个人不算生病,


他甚至没有什么风险换上疑难杂症。


不过我们能想象,



个人可以更健康。



The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who


is merely


body's special needs.



在医药领域中,


传统 上我们并不区分那些仅是



没病



的人和那些健康且注意


身体特别需求的人。这两类人都被称作



健康的人





Both types have simply been called


specialists have begun to apply the terms


actively striving to maintain and improve their health.



然 而,近年来,一些健康专家开始使用



身体好

< br>”




健康


这两个术语,仅用


于那些正在积极努力维持并改善自身健 康的人。



People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise and they make a


point of monitoring their body's condition.



身体好的人总会关注营养和锻炼,并且懂得监察自身的状况。



Most important,


perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility


for all


matters related to their health.



也许最重要的是,身体好的人 会对一切和健康相关的问题主动负责。



Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (


缺陷


) may be


this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in


the face of their physical limitations.


在这种 新定义下,


只要面对个人身体极限之时仍能尽其所能维持健康,


就算


身患顽疾或者身有残缺的人也算是身体好的人。





but as an ideal that people can strive for.




健康



或许不应该被看做是一种人 们可以达成的境界,


而是一种人们为之努


力的理想状态。



People who are well are likely to be better able resist disease and to fight disease


when it strikes.


当疾病侵袭的时候,身体好的人更能够抵御对抗。



And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living,the concept of wellness can


have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.


另外,


多注意健康生活之道。


健康的概念对 于人们面对日常生活的挑战也大


有益处。

一、



I've been writing for most of my life.



我一辈子大部分时间都在从事写作。



The


book


Writing


Without


Teachers


introduced


me


to


one


distinction


and


one


practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously.



《写作无师自通》


这本书想我介绍了 一种区别和一种练习。


帮助我大大提高


了写作水平。

< p>


The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind.



区别是关于创造性思维和评判性思维之间的区别。



While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in


parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.


你需要做的是运用两者帮助你得到一个结果,< /p>


但是他们不能同时起作用,



论我们多么 想要这样做。



Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing


that most of us encounter.


试图匆忙地批判写作内容可能是我们大多数人在写作时遇到的最 大障碍。



If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while


you are trying to capture a fleeting


(稍纵即逝的)



thought, the thought will die.



如果你按照五年级英语老师教你的,


在努力抓紧稍纵即逝的想法的同时纠正


你的语法,这个想法肯定会消失。



If


you


capture


the


fleeting


thought


and


simply


share


it


with


the


world


in


raw


form, no one is likely to understand.



如果你抓住了稍纵即逝的想法,


但仅 以其原始的形式和世界分享,


或许没有


人能够理解。

< p>


You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the


tool for thinking that it is.

如果你想要把写作作为思考的工具,必须学会首先创造,然后批判。



The practice that can help you past


your learned bad habits of trying to edit as


you write is what Elbow calls “free writing.”



练习是指

< br>ELbow


所说的



自由写作< /p>




它可以帮助你改正边写边改的话习惯 。



In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for


15-20 minutes.



在自由写作中,我们的目标是在


15-20

分钟的时间内不间断写作。



No stopping, no going back, no criticizing.



不停顿,不回头,不作批判。



The goal is to get the words flowing.



这样做的目的是使文字流畅起来。



As


the


words


begin


to


flow,


the


ideas


will


come


from


the


shadows


and


let


themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.


当语言开始流畅,


想法就会 从阴暗处涌现出来,


呈现在你的笔记本或者电脑


屏幕上。



Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind


that you've persuaded to sit on the side and watch quietly.



现在,你有进行评判性思维的原材料了,建议你坐下静静地查看文稿。



Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have


and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.


通 常,


你会认为这个环节所需的时间比你实际需要的时间要长,


并 且直到最


后一刻,你还盯着文稿,头脑一片空白。





Instead of staring at a blank start filling it with words no matter how bad.



不要盯着空白的屏幕,无论多么糟糕,都开始写下去。



Halfway


through


you


available


time,


stop


and


rework


your


raw


writing


into


something closer to finished product. < /p>


写作时间进行到一半时,停下来整理你的初稿,让它更接近终稿。




Move


back


and


forth


until


you


run


out


of


time


and


the


final


result


will


most


likely be far better than your current practices.


不断前后重复,


直到时间用尽。


这样,


你所得到的终稿会比你用现在在练习


中写的文稿要好得多。


二、



I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again.



我不想再谈关于作为一位女性科学家的问题了。



There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what


it’s like to work in a field dominated by men.



有一段时间,人们不断地问我在男性主导的领域中工作的故事。



I


was


never


very


good


at


telling


those


stories


because


truthfully


I


never


found


them interesting.



我不擅长将这些故事,因为实际上我并不觉得它们有趣。



What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time


and the nature of black holes.


我真正感兴趣的是宇宙的起源,时空的形状和黑洞的本质。



At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be


the only woman in the classroom.



19


岁的时候,


我 开始学习天体物理学,


作为班上唯一的女性,


我一点也不


觉得苦恼。



But


while


earning


my


Ph.D.


at


MIT


and


then


as


a


post-doctor


doing


space


research, the issue started to bother me.



但是当我在麻省理工学院攻读博士学位和之后作为博 士后进行太空研究时,


这一点开始让我觉得苦恼。



My every achievement



jobs, research papers, awards



was viewed through the


lens of gender (


性别


) were my failures.


我的每一项成就


----


工作,研究论文,奖项


---


都被人们从性别政治的角度进


行 审视。我的失败也一样。




Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (


相对于


)


right


brain,


or


nature


versus


nurture


(


培育


),


I


would


instantly


fight


fiercely


on


my


behalf and all womankind.


有时候,


当我陷入左脑和右脑,


天赋与 培育的争论中时,


我会立刻为我自己


和所有的妇女进行激烈的抗 辩。



Then


one


day


a


few


years


ago,


out


of


my


mouth


came


a


sentence


that


would


eventually


become


my


reply


to


any


and


all


provocations:


I


don’t


talk


about


that


anymore.


然后再 很多年以后的一天,我口中冒出一句最终成为我对所有挑衅的回答:


< br>我不再讨论这个问题了





It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I


didn’t want to deal with gender issues.



我花了十年的时间重获


19


岁时的自信,


让自己认识到我不再想要处理性别的


问题。



Why


should


curing


sexism


be


yet


another


terrible


burden


on


every


female


scientist?



为何性别歧视要成为每位女性科学家的另一个可怕的负担?



After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.



毕竟,我不是社会学或政治理论的研究者。



Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City.



现在,我在


Barnard---


纽约的一 所女子学院进行研究和授课。



Recently,


someone


asked


me


how


may


of


the


45


students


in


my


class


were


women.


最近,有人 问我班上的


45


个学生中有多少是女性。



You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45.



你 很难想象我在回答时的满足感:


45




I


know


some


of


my


students


worry


how


they


will


manage


their


scientific


research and a desi


re for I don’t dismiss those concerns.



我知道有些学生会担心如何处理科学俺 就和生儿育女之间的矛盾,


我不会不


理会这些担心。

< p>


Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of


their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments.


但是,我也不会跟她们讲述



战争

< br>”


的故事,相反,我会告诉他们:他们的物


理教授身怀六 甲仍然坚持做物理实验的景象。



And


in


turn


they


have


given


me


the


image


of


45


women


driven


by


a


love


of


science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.



作 为回报,


他们给我我


45


个热爱科学的 女性的形象。


这才是值得谈论的景象。





2007

一、



By almost any measure, there is a boom in Internet-based instruction.



无论如何,网络教学已经十分流行。



In


just


a


few


years,


34


percent


of


American


universities


have


begun


offering


some form of distance learning (DL), and among the larger schools, it’s closer to 90


percent.



近几年来,有


34%


的美国大学开始提供不同形式的远程教学,而在较大的大


学里,这个数字已经接 近


90%




If


you


doubt


the


popularity


of


the


trend,


you


probably


haven’t


heard


of


the


University of Phoenix.



如果你对这与潮流表示质疑,那么或许你还没有听过凤凰城大学。



It


grants


degrees


entirely


on


the


basis


of


online


instruction.


It


enrolls


90,000


students, a statistic used to support its claim to be the largest private university in the


country.


这所大学的学位都是通过网络教学 授予的,目前学生总数为


9


万人,该数字


使之号称是美国最大的私立学校。



While


the


kinds


of


instruction


offered


in


these


programs


will


differ,


DL


usually


signifies


a


course


in


which


the


instructors


post


syllabi


(






),


reading


assignments,


and


schedules


on


Websites,


and


students


send


in


their


assignments


by


e-mail.


尽管这些课程 的具体教学内容不尽相同,


但远程教学通常意味着老师会在网


站 上公布教程大纲,阅读作业和进度安排,而学生通过电子邮件交作业。



Generally speaking, face-to-face communication with an instructor is minimized


or eliminated altogether.


一般而言,师生间面对面交流会很少,甚至没有。



The attraction for students might at first seem obvious.



起初,这种教学形式对学生的吸引是显而易见的。



Primarily, there’s the convenience promised by courses on the Net: you can do


the work, as they say, in your pajamas (


睡衣


).



主要是网络课堂很便利,正如其宣传的一般,学生可以穿着睡衣来上学。



But figures indicate that the reduced effort results in a reduced commitment to


the course.



然而数据表明,课堂参与的减少导致学生学习不是很努力。



While


dropout


rates


for


all


freshmen


at


American


universities


is


around


20


percent, the rate for online students is 35 percent.



美国大学本科新生的退学率 约为


20%


,而对于参加网络教学的学生而言,这


个数字达到了


35%




Students themselves seem to understand the weaknesses inherent in the setup.


学生本身也明白这个机制的不足之处。对



In a survey conducted for eCornell, the DL division of Cornell University, less


than a third of the respondents expected the quality of the online course to be as good


as the classroom course.

康奈尔大学远程教学部的调查结果显示,


只有不到三分之一的受访者热认为网络


课程的质量和传统课堂一样。



Clearly, from the schools’ perspective, there’s a lot of money to be saved.



无疑,从学校的角度,网络教学能节约大量金钱。



Although


some


of


the


more


ambitious


programs


require


new


investments


in


severs and networks to support collaborative software, most DL courses can run on


existing or minimally upgraded(
