多中英惯用例句:

    I will never forget how lost I felt the summer after my graduation from college, and in the nine years since, I've spoken to countless 20-somethings who feel incredibly pressured to find their true calling immediately and build a successful career in a particular field before their 25th birthdays.
  • 一个更为现实的做法是遵循一些策略来让自己平缓地步入职场，可许多人直到三十岁后才开始去尝试这些策略。学校也许教会了你许多东西，但却可能没教你职场这套独一无二的法则。
    A more realistic challenge is to ease yourself slowly into the work world by following a few strategies that many people don't try until they're well into their 30s. School probably taught you a lot of things, but the business world's unique set of rules may not have been part of the story.
  • 随意找一份工作，只不过因为它与你的专业相关或感到工作内容有趣，那么你可能会进入一个对你来说并没有真正吸引力的行业，不用多久你就得再去找工作。何不用战略的眼光来规划你的职业，就像曾规划你的学业一样？
    Looking for a job haphazardly, because you majored in something or because you saw a listing that looks somewhat interesting, you'll risk getting started in a career that holds no real appeal for you, and then you'll have to leave it to find something else. Why not plan your career strategically, just like you planned your education?
  • 你可以先做个自我评估，这会让你了解许多自己不曾注意到的事情－－例如，你喜欢或者讨厌怎样的工作环境
    Start by doing a self-assessment that teaches you things about yourself that you might never have thought about--for example, what you like and don't like in a work environment, what defines success for you, and what type of work would make you want to sit in traffic for hours just for the privilege of showing up. Knowing these things can help you determine which occupations could be a good fit for you.
  • 许多工作空缺都不会登广告招聘，因为雇主更喜欢任用推荐的人选。和在你的领域工作的人们建立联系，这意味着一旦新机会出现，人们头脑中第一时间想到的就是你。

    While the amount of time wasted at work seems high, Bill Coleman, chief compensation officer at Salary.com. said the numbers have improved, with the amount of time wasted dropping 19 percent since Salary.com conducted its first annual survey on slacking at work in 2005. Then workers reported wasting 2.09 hours of their working day.

    You like to work. Contrary to myth, you don't need to be a workaholic to start a successful business. Many entrepreneurs find that it makes more sense to establish a reasonable working pace -- one that lets them strike a balance between work and their personal lives. That said, don't start a business unless you enjoy work. There's going to be plenty of it.

    How much do you make a year?

  • 建立以"勇于创新、精诚合作"为基础的企业文化。创新不仅仅只是设计出更多的时髦产品，它还应包括如何令客户更满意、为客户提供更好的服务等方面。
    Create a culture based on innovation and cooperation. Innovation is about more than designing snazzy products. It's also about improving customer experiences and services.
  • 尊重客户。互联网让你的客户享有更多畅所欲言的机会，说出他们真实的想法，喜欢你什么，不喜欢你什么。倾听他们的声音，并亲自融进你从事的市场中去征求客户的反馈。你需要根据情况不断改进公司的服务。否则，你就会发现客户不断减少(最终，关门大吉)。
    Honor your customer. The Internet lets your customers sound off and tell you exactly what they like or don't like about your business. Listen to them. Get out into the markets you serve, and ask your customers for feedback. Make the necessary changes to improve service or else you may find yourself with fewer customers (and eventually, out of business).
  • 视员工为客户。要吸引更多的客户，你就必须首先吸引公司的员工。加大培训和辅导方面的投资。让每个员工都了解公司发展的目标，让他们充满不断前进并作出贡献的动力。培养和奖励公司中20％最优秀的、可为公司产生80％效益的员工，而把那最差劲的10％却带给你80％头痛的员工清除出去。
    Treat employees like customers. If you want to inspire your customers, you must first inspire your employees. Invest heavily in training and mentoring.

Nurture and reward the top 20％ of your staff who produce 80％ of the results, and actively weed out the bottom 10％ who give you 80％ of the headaches.

  • 金钱在我们文化中是一个相当奇特的话题。我们渴望打听到别人赚多少钱，本身却没洩漏的打算。薪资与身价有关，当你的薪资被公开，大家就会开始臆测你的身价到底被高估还是低估，以及为什麼你有资格领的比相同能力的人多。
    Salary information: Money's a weird topic in our culture. As eager as we are to find out what other people make, we're not as ready to divulge our earnings. Salary is associated with worth, and when your salary's known, it invites speculation of whether you're being over- or undercompensated. Why are you getting paid that much when another person with the same qualification earns much less?
  • 你可能会觉得，面对恐怖，打莲花坐不会有效果。但是很多活动都可以缓解焦虑，从锻炼到按摩。这些技巧有很多已使用了几十年，甚至数百年
    now advances in science are showing they can reduce the hormones associated with stress and even affect brain activity. The common trait among all: maintaining control and recognizing that our concerns are a natural response to the world we live in.
  • 减轻压力最有效的办法之一就是将注意力集中到我们可以有效控制的东西上－－我们自己的呼吸。在头脑－身体医学院，参加者通过呼气时反复轻声默念一个单词（任何单词，可以是"om"或"HailMary"），来达到一个“放松的反应”。通过许多次研究，Benson发现该练习可以使参加者血压降低，呼吸变缓，从而达到全身的平静。
    One of the most efficient ways to reduce stress is to focus inward on one thing we can effectively control: our own breath. At the Mind/Body Medical Institute, participants elicit a "relaxation response, " repeating a word - anything from "om" to "Hail Mary"--silently as they exhale. In numerous studies, Benson has found that the practice leads to lower blood pressure, slower breathing and an overall calm.
  • 研究者们说，尽管做起来很难，但是在多事之秋，人们需要从生活的最简单的快乐中获取安慰。在Rochester大学医学院进行的一次小范围调查中，O.J.Sahler博士发现在骨髓移植病人中，那些听音乐的反应感到的疼痛和恶心程度比较轻，而且他们移植的骨髓也更早就开始工作。另外，笑可能确实是良药。LomaLinda大学公共卫生学院的LeeBerk博士发现一组看了一小时喜剧录像的学生其肾上腺素和皮质醇水平都出现了显著下降。“如果你非常害怕，”Berk说，“那就看小丑表演吧。”这才是值得我们好好考虑的东西。
    It may be difficult, but in troubled times, researchers say, people need to take comfort from life' s simplest pleasures.In a small study at the University of Rochester School of Medicine, Dr. O. J. Sahler found that bone-marrow transplant patients who listened to music reported less pain and nausea, and their transplants took less time to become functional. And, yes, laughter may be good medicine, too. Dr. Lee Berk, of the Loma Linda University School of Public Health, discovered that a group of students who watched a comic video for an hour had marked reductions in epinephrine and cortisol levels. "If fear is too great, " says Berk, "send in the clowns." Now that's something we can all meditate on.
