　　MBA寫作練習(1)：思想表達

　　1. 在迅速發展的市場經濟中，許多人都迫不急待地想發財致富，甚至會不惜以犧牲職業道德為代價來賺錢。(fortune, at the cost of, sacrifice)

　　1. With the rapid development of market economy, many people cannot wait to make a fortune, and will even do so at the cost of giving up work ethics.

　　2. 這些做法不僅傷害了消費者的信心和社會利益，同時也損害了企業自己的形象，從長遠來看會減少它們的市場份額。(deeds, welfare, enterprises, image, share, in the long run)

　　2. These practices/deeds not only harm customers’ confidence and social welfare, but also destroy the enterprises’ own image and decrease their market share in the long run.

　　3. 根據我的觀點，應該采取行之有效的措施以便鼓勵自愿無償獻血。首先，應該開展一個全國性的教育運動以便傳播無償獻血的必要性和知識。此外，應該確立相應的法律來保護那些獻血的人。只有以這種方法我們才能創造一個和諧和健康的社會。(voluntary, donation, campaign, launch, harmonious)

　　3. In my view, effective measures should be taken to encourage free/voluntary blood donation. First of all, a nation-wide education campaign should be launched to spread the necessity and knowledge of free blood donation. Besides, laws should be set up to protect those who donate blood. Only in this way can we create a harmonious and healthy society.

　　4. 如同上面的柱狀圖所明確顯示的一樣，中國新生兒男女比例(116.9：100)遠遠高于國際認同的最高警戒線(107:100)，在中國的一些地區，該比例甚至達到了150:100。圖中的統計數字反映了一個嚴峻的現實，應該引起全社會的關注。(apparently, reveal, ratio, alert, statistics, grim, concern)

　　4. As is apparently revealed in the bar chart above, the sex ratio of new-born babies in China (116.9 : 100) is much higher than that of the internationally accepted alert line(107: 100). In some parts of China, the ratio has even reached 150: 100. The statistics reflect a grim reality, which should arouse our social concern.

　　5. 如同上面的圓餅圖所明確揭示的一樣，誠信和工作經驗是大多數工作單位對大學畢業生和普通員工的兩個主要素質要求。這個事實發人深省并且值得討論，因為目前勞動市場的競爭比以往任何時候都更加激烈。(credibility, requirement, thought-provoking, fierce)

　　5. As is apparently revealed in the pie charts above, credibility and working experience are the twin leading quality requirements for college graduates and ordinary working staff by most working units. The very fact is most thought-provoking and worth discussing with the competition in labor market getting more fierce than ever before.

　　6. 上面圖表的深層含義可以被簡述如下。首先，重要的是我們應該對我們星球有更深刻的理解并且逐步樹立保護我們生存環境的意識。一些自然災害是人類的錯誤行為所造成的，例如對森林的無情破壞，過量排放氧化物以及過度開采地球，這一切均破壞了生態平衡。此外，必要的是我們應該認識到科學的預警機制和應急機制的重要性。由于各種自然的災害比以往任何時候都更加頻繁地出現，建立這兩個機制注定在拯救人類生命和財產方面發揮決定性的作用。總之，更好的理解人類與我們星球之間的關系以及建立有效的預警和應急機制具有重要意義。(imperative, awareness, disaster, misconduct, excessive, exploitation, ecological, emergency rescue, decisive, )

[FS:PAGE]　　6. The implied meaning of the table above can be briefly stated as follows. To begin with, it is imperative that we should have a better understanding of our planet and build up the sense/awareness of protecting our living environment. Some of the natural disasters simply result from human misconducts, such as the relentless destruction of forests, excessive discharge of dioxide, and over-exploitation of the earth, which spoil the ecological balance. What’s more, it is quite necessary that we should realize the importance of a scientific warning system and an emergency rescue system. With the natural disasters of various kinds cropping up more frequently than ever before, the establishment of such systems is bound to play a decisive role in saving human lives and properties. In sum, a better understanding of the relationship between human beings and our planet and the building-up of a sound warning system and emergency rescue system are of great importance.

　　7. 中國已經經歷了、而且正在經歷一個繁榮的經濟發展，許多公司如雨后春筍般拔地而起。而人們也拋棄了過去那種一生只做一份工作的根深蒂固的觀念，更換工作變得像家常便飯一樣普通。于是也出現了一系列的問題，包括員工們如何堅持職業道德、保守機構秘密等。一些人得到新的工作僅僅是因為他們掌握了很多情報，另一些人也許在無意中就泄露了機密信息。這兩種行為都會導致不公平的競爭、并且嚴重影響經濟秩序的良好運行。

　　(prosperous, boom, mushroom, deep-rooted, a series of, emerge, stick to, intelligence, unconsciously, reveal, well-functioning)

　　7. As China has experienced, and is experiencing, a prosperous economic boom with numerous companies mushrooming, people start to throw away the deep-rooted thought that one should keep a single job as a life-long pursuit. Instead, job hopping has become as common as daily meals. A series of problems thus emerge, including how employees stick to their occupational discipline to keep secrets of different organizations. Some people are offered a new position merely for the intelligence they command, while others might reveal confidential information unconsciously. Their behavior leads to unfair competition and damages the otherwise well-functioning economic order.

　　8. 我認為必須采取有效的措施來結束這種現象。首先, 我們應該在各行各業內大力宣揚社會責任和職業道德。其次，應該制定和執行嚴格的規定, 嚴懲那些忽視食品安全的個人和企業。只有通過政府和社會的共同努力，我們才能創造一個和諧和有序的社會。

　　(measures, put an end to, advocate, ethics, regulations, enact, enforce, neglect, combined, harmonious, orderly)

　　8. I maintain that effective measures must be taken to put an end to this phenomenon. Firstly, we need to advocate social responsibility and professional ethics in every field. Secondly, strict regulations should be enacted and enforced to impose punishment on those individuals and businesses who neglect food safety. Only through the combined efforts of government and society can we create a harmonious and orderly society.

[FS:PAGE]　　【練習1】

　　無疑，我們現在處于持續的壓力之下，要長時間工作，要創造更多，擁有更多，從而成為一名成功人士。于是工作狂(workaholism)---一種現代癖(addiction)，就這樣出現了。工作狂其根源是基于這樣一種認識：通過長時間地工作、完成更多的項目，我們便能提高我們的自身價值。

　　許多婦女今天感到同樣的壓力，要創造，要出人頭地，而與此同時，又要養育子女，承擔起各種家庭責任。

　　研究表明，工作狂往往使我們與家人的關系疏遠。它會迫使我們長時間地勞作，僅留微乎其微的時間與我們所愛的人聚在一起、交流感情。家庭成員間的親密關系在此過程中注定要消亡。

　　There is no doubt that today we are under constant pressure to work long hours, to produce more, to possess more, and to become a success. Workaholism, a modern addiction, has thus arisen. The cause of workaholism is the perception that by working longer hours and completing more projects, we will enhance our self-worth.

　　Mary women today feel the same stress to produce and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture/bring up/raise their offspring and shoulder a variety of domestic responsibilities.

　　Research show that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces/compels us to labor longer and longer hours, leaving a very small amount of/a minute fraction of time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is certain/doomed to die in the process.

　　【練習2】

　　更有效的解決方式或許在于去理解這一問題， 而不是回避這一問題。

　　工業革命前，人們居住在聯系不方便的小社區里。在本村范圍內，人們自然而然地期望了解該了解的一切，見到該見的一切，做該做的一切。

　　如今，生性好奇的我們仍試圖這么做。然而，地球村是一個有著無限可能的世界，我們永遠無法實現自己的目標。

　　我們需要的不是更多的時間;我們需要的是更少的欲望。我們需要關掉手機，讓孩子們自己玩耍。我們需要少購物，少閱讀，少出游。我們需要在有所為、有所不為方面給自己設定界限，不然則注定會越來越感到絕望。

　　A more successful remedy/solution may lie in understanding the problem rather than evading it.

　　Before the industrial revolution, people lived in small communities where communication was not convenient. Within the confines of their village, they could reasonably expect to know everything that there was to be known, see everything that there was to be seen, and do everything that there was to be done.

　　Today, being curious by nature, we are still trying to do the same. But the global village is a world of limitless possibilities, and we can never achieve our aim.

　　It is not more time we need: it is fewer desires. We need to switch off our cell-phone and leave the children to play by themselves. We need to buy less, read less and travel less. We need to set boundaries about what to do and what not to do for ourselves, or we will be doomed to mounting despair.
