攻势已经持续了三天，但是我们并没有取得多少进展。师长

( division commande)

命令我们营

( (battalion)< /p>

夜晚绕到敌人后方发

起

set

ever

突然袭击。然而， 要绕到敌人后方，我们必须越过

一片沼泽地

< br>(marshland)

。我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。我

< br>们营长决定冒一下险。

所幸由于寒冷天气沼泽地都结上了冰，

我

们于天亮前到达目的地并从敌人后方发起进攻。

这一下扭 转了战

局。敌人没有戒备，不久便投降了。

The offensive had lasted three days, but we had not gained much

ground.

The

division

commander

instructed

our

battalion

to

get

around

to

the

rear

of

the

enemy

at

night

and

launch

a

surprise

attack.

To

do

this

we

have

to

cross

a

marshland,

and

many

of

us

were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion

commander decided to take a gamble. Luckily enough, thanks to the

severely cold weather which had made the marshland freeze over,

we

arrived

our

destination

before

dawn

and

began

attacking

the

enemy

from

the

rear.

This

had

turned

the

tide

of

the

battle.

The

enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.

汽车自从发明以来使交通运输发生了革命性的变化，永远地改< /p>

变了人们的生活、旅行和办事的方式。但另一方面，也带来了危

害 ，尤其是公路死亡事故。然而，现今由于计算机技术和电子传

感器的使用，有可能消除发 生的大多数交通事故。例如，装在你

汽车上的电子传感器能检测到空气中的酒精雾汽并拒 绝启动引

擎。

同样，

传感器还能通过接 受在轨道上运行的卫星发出的信号

监测路况并大大减少你陷入交通拥堵的可能性。

Automobiles

have,

since

their

invention,

revolutionized

transportation,

changing

forever

the

way

people

travel,

and

do

business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially

highway

fatalities.

However,

today

the

application

of

computer

technology

and

electronic

sensors

in

designing

and

manufacturing

cars

makes

it

possible

to

eliminate

most

of

traffic

accidents.

For

example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol

vapor

in

the

air

and

refuse

to

start

up

the

engine.

They

can

also

monitor

road

conditions

by

receiving

radio

signals

sent

out

from

orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck

in traffic jams.

常言道，好的开端是成功的一半。在求职时，求职者事先做好< /p>

充分的准备是非常重要的。

我认为，

事先 做不做准备显然会影响

求职者的成功机会。

我的一位朋友在一家 大型计算机软件公司供

职，年薪十万美元左右。他根据自己的经历告诉我说，那些面试< /p>

未来雇员的具有录用决定权的人喜欢有充分准备的人。

那些没有< /p>

在了解未来雇主方面尽全力的人很难有成功的希望

。

Well begun, half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important

for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment.

From my

standpoint, whether or not one has done his homework

clearly makes a difference in his chance of success.

I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of

100,000

dollars

a

year

in

a

large

computer

software

company.

He

told

me

that

from

his

own

experience

the

decision

makers

who

interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared.

Those

who

make

no

endeavor

to

learn

as

much

about

his

prospective

employer

as

possible

dont

have

much

of

a

chance

of

success.

就我来说，我发现外表往往是靠不住的。譬如，要是你仅 凭

外表去判断诸如爱德华·海德·伯顿这样的人，你就错了。外表

上，伯顿像是个表里一致的人。他个子很小，满头白发，有着一

双温和、蔚蓝的眼睛， 文雅且坦率。然而，他原来却是十分的残

忍他侮辱和愚弄穷困潦倒的伦尼，

让他去做那样的蠢事。

更让人

吃惊的是，他对伦尼的 死全然冷漠无情。毫无疑问，他是个铁石

心肠的家伙。

For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive.

For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only

people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man

all

of

a

piece.

He

was

a

tiny

little

fellow

with

white

hair

and

mild

blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very

cruel

he

insulted

and

fooled

Lenny

who

was

down

and

out

and

made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more

surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lennys death.

Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.
