【穿越研英】冲击翻译,不得不恋(第三十四期,正在进行中)

爱极了夜晚的感觉,在路灯一盏盏亮遍树影斑驳的街道时,有种朦胧空灵的轻飘感,世界上的喧哗和骚动都静静沉淀。纸醉金迷的霓虹灯也被阻隔在这种轻飘之外,清洗过的心情也在凉风中吹干,随着飘飘的落叶翻飞。拉长的影子开始独自跳舞,跃上树巅,张眼看着这个逐渐睡去的城市。

 第三十二期中有位朋友问道这个节目将会进行到什么时候,因为她要断网闭关准备考研的最后冲刺。popo在做这个节目之初想用它陪伴朋友们战斗到最后一刻,哪怕是冲刺的最后一个月,可是以现在的情况看,可能在12月底结束了。到时候,总结完毕,光是出题练习的任务就交给hj考研版块的其他节目了。但是如果仍有需要,或许节目再继续持续一周。喜欢popo节目的朋友可以到hj考研版块的资料下载中下个包子在家中慢慢看,在这剩下的两个月中,我们仍是在一起的,冲刺的岁月我们共同度过。^_^

 (1A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap, but, if properly handled, it may become a driving force. When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War, it had a market eight times larger than any competitor, giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale. 2Its scientists were the world's best, its workers the most skilled. America and Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economies the war had destroyed. 

  It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably, the retreat from predominance proved painful. By the mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness. Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics, had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition. By 1987 there was only one American television maker left, Zenith. (Now there is none: Zenith was bought by South Korea's LG Electronics in July.) Foreign-made cars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market. America's machine-tool industry was on the ropes.3For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors, which America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty.

  All of this caused a crisis of confidence. Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted. They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing, and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America's industrial decline.4Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.

  How things have changed! In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling.5Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle. Self-doubt has yielded to blind pride. "American industry has changed its structure, has gone on a diet, has learnt to be more quick-witted," according to Richard Cavanaugh, executive dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. "It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their productivity," says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute, a think-tank in Washington, D.C. And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this period as "a golden age of business management in the United States."
