2014年考研英语二阅览了解翻译+要点单词汇总
what would you do with $90m??this is now a question for gloria mackenzie,?an 84-year-old widow who recently emerged from her small,?tin-roofed house in florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history.?if she hopes her new-found for tune will yield lasting feelings of fulfillment,?she could do worse than read happy money by elizabeth dumn and michael norton.
你会用5.9亿美元做啥?这是如今摆在歌莉娅·麦肯齐面前的疑问。她是一位84岁寡居老人,住在佛罗里达一间狭隘铁皮屋里﹐迩来因独揽史上最高全额彩票头奖并现身领奖而为人所重视。假定她期望这笔新到手的财富可以产成耐久满足感,倒不妨读读伊丽莎白·邓恩与迈克·诺顿合著的《高兴金钱》。
these two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the most rewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive.?fantasies of great wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes.?yet satisfaction with these material purchases wears off fairly quickly. what was once exciting and new becomes old-hat;?regret creeps in.?it is far better to spend money on experiences,?say ms dumn and mr norton,?like interesting trips,unique meals or even going to the cinema.?these purchases often become more valuable with time-as stories or?memories—particularly if they involve feeling more connected to others.
这两位专家运用一系列行为研讨标明,最有意义的花钱方法可所以与直觉相反的。关于巨额财富的愿望一般会伴跟着对炫车豪宅的神往。可是,这些物质收购所带来的满足感会不见得恰当快。早年令人振奋又别致的东西变得陈腐过期,后悔悄可是至。选不知把钱花在“领会”上,邓恩女士和诺倾先生说道,比方说风趣的旅行、一起的餐食、甚至是去看影片。跟着时刻的消逝,这些领会一般会变得愈加宝贵———以回想或故事的方法——特别是当它们让人感遭到自个与别人联络更紧密时。
this slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lottery winners get the most?“happiness bang for your buck.”?it seems most people would be better off if they could shorten their commutes to work,?spend more time with friends and family and less of it watching television(something the average american spends a whopping two months a year doing,and is hardly jollier for it). buying gifts or giving to charity is often more pleasurable than purchasing things for oneself,?and luxuries are most enjoyable when they are consumed sparingly.?this is apparently the reason macdonalds restricts the availability of its popular mcrib-a marketing trick that has turned the pork sandwich into an object of obsession.
这本薄薄的书卷中写满了主张,既给彩票赢家,也给薪奴“从财富中获取最大高兴”供给了协助。如同大有些人都能经过缩短通勤时刻,多陪家人兄弟,少看电视(美国人年均竟然有两个月的时刻在着电视,却并没有因而更高兴)过得非常好。给别人买礼物或捐款给慈悲机构一般比给自个买东西更令人愉悦,有控制地花费奢华品才干带来最大高兴。显着这正是麦当劳定量供给大受等待的烤汁猪排堡的缘由地址–这一推广办法已将这种猪肉三明治变成了令人痴迷之物。
readers of“happymoney”are clearly a privileged lot,?anxious about fulfillment,?not hunger.?money may not quite buy happiness,?but people in wealthier countries are generally happier than those in poor ones.?yet the link between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world,?and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things for most people.?not everyone will agree with the authors’?policy ideas,?which range from mandating more holiday time to reducing tax incentives for american homebuyers.?but most people will come away from this book believing it was money well spent.
《高兴金钱》的读者显着归于一个走运的集体,盼望得到满足感,而不是忧虑挨饿。金钱或许不能真实买到夸姣,但殷实国家的我们全体上比贫穷国家的我们更夸姣。可是,全世界规模内,不管穷户仍是有钱人中,都可以看到“将钱用到别人身上”和“感触愉悦”的联络,且对大有些人来讲,稀缺性前进了大有些事物的愉悦感。并非一切人都会铃同作者从“添加假期时刻”到“降低对美国购房者的税收影响”等方针理念。但大有些人读完此书后都会认为,它非常值得收购。
