　　HOW TO TALK ABOUT PERSONALITY TYPES
　　如何描述个性类型
　　SESSION 1
　　第1节
　　Every human being is, in one way or another, unique.
　　Everyone’s personality is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
　　Let us examine ten personality types (one of which might by chance be your very own) that result from the way culture, growth, family background, and environment interact with heredity.
　　And, of course, we begin not with the words, but with the ideas.
　　每个人都是独一无二的，或以这样的方式，或以那样的方式。
　　每个人的个性都由基因和环境因素组合决定。
　　下面让我们剖析10种个性类型（其中一种可能碰巧就是你的个性类型），这10种个性类型是文化、成长、家庭背景和环境与遗传相互作用的结果。
　　当然，我们从概念入手，而非词汇。
　　IDEAS
　　概念
　　1. me first
　　以我为先
　　Your attitude to life is simple, direct, and aboveboard—every decision you make is based on the answer to one question: “What’s in it for me?” If your selfishness, greed, and ruthless desire for self advancement hurt other people, that’s too bad. “This is a tough world, pal, dog eat dog and all that, and I, for one, am not going to be left behind!”
　　An egoist
　　这样的人对生活的态度简单、直接、明了——他所做的每个决定都基于对一个问题的回答：“这件事会给我带来什么？”如果他为了得到自我利益而表现出的自私、贪婪和无情的欲望伤害到他人，那只能怪别人太倒霉了。“朋友，这是一个无情的世界，狗咬狗，人人都为自己，而我呢？我在这方面也绝不会落后于他人。”
　　他是一个egoist（利己主义者）。
　　2. the height of conceit
　　自负至极
　　“Now, let’s see. Have you heard about all the money I’m making? Did I tell you about my latest amorous conquest? Let me give you my opinion—I know, because I’m an expert at practically everything!” You are boastful to the point of being obnoxious—you have only one string to your conversational violin, namely, yourself; and on it you play a number of monotonous variations: what you think, what you have done, how good you are, how you would solve the problems of the world, etc. ad nauseam.
　　An egotist
　　“现在大家听好了。你们听说过我赚到了多少大钱吗？我是否告诉过你们我最近的一次成功艳遇？让我来告诉你我的观点——我非常了解，因为我几乎在任何事情上都是专家！”这个家伙的自夸程度已经达到了令人相当厌恶的程度——他用来演奏的小提琴上只有一根琴弦，这根琴弦就是他自己；而在这唯一的一根琴弦上，他却演奏出了太多单调乏味的曲调：他的观点是什么，他做过什么，他有多么优秀，他会如何处理身边的问题，还有很多其他令人作呕的言语。
　　他是一个egotist（自大者）。
　　3. let me help you
　　让我来帮助你
　　You have discovered the secret of true happiness—concerning yourself with the welfare of others. Never mind your own interests, how’s the next fellow getting along?
　　An altruist
　　他已经发现了幸福的真正秘密——将自己和他人的安乐联系起来。他从不考虑自己的利益，从不考虑下一个伙计是否好相处？
　　他是一个altruist（利他主义者）。
　　4. leave me alone
　　离我远点儿
　　Like a biochemist studying a colony of bacteria under the microscope, you minutely examine your every thought, feeling, and action. Probing, futile questions like “What do other people think of me?”, “How do I look?”, and “Maybe I shouldn’t have said that?” are your constant nagging companions, for you are unable to realize that other people do not spend as much time and energy analyzing you as you think.
　　You may seem unsocial, yet your greatest desire is to be liked and accepted. You may be shy and quiet, you are often moody and unhappy, and you prefer solitude or at most the company of one person to a crowd. You have an aptitude for creative work and are uncomfortable engaging in activities that require co�瞣peration with other people. You may even be a genius, or eventually turn into one.
　　An introvert
　　像一位生物化学家正研究着显微镜下的一团细菌，他每时每刻都在审视自己的观点、体会和行为。他无休无止地在心里唠叨，刨根问底地追问自己一些没有答案的问题：“其他人对我有怎样的看法？”“我看起来怎么样？”“我可能不应该那样说？”因为他意识不到别人根本不会花费那么多时间和精力去像他一样分析他自己。
　　他看起来可能并不擅长交际，但是他最大的愿望却是被别人喜欢、接受。他可能很害羞，喜欢安静；他经常会情绪化，不开心；他更喜欢独处，或者他宁愿身边只有一个人陪伴，也不要一群人的喧闹。他对于需要创造力的工作颇有天资；而当需要和他人配合时，他就会很不自在。他甚至有可能是个天才，或者最终总会成为天才。
　　他是一个introvert（内向的人）。
　　5. let’s do it together
　　让我们合作吧
　　You would be great as a teacher, counselor, administrator, insurance agent. You can always become interested—sincerely, vitally interested—in other people’s problems. You’re the life of the party, because you never worry about the effect of your actions, n 英语说文解字 [Word Power Made Easy] 电子书 下载 mobi epub pdf txt

孩子外地上学，直接发过去的。

可以，非常棒，值得你购买，很适合学习

这个感觉真的很好，我很喜欢喝。我会继续购买的。

好好读书，希望能够有收获。

其實翻譯在下面是比較小的，更像是註釋的比例，原文信息量比較大，翻譯有時不知是故意還是無意，一些信息會沒有翻。可能對於以為可以用中文來看懂的人來說，看得會比較困難，翻譯只是輔助你更好理解原文的意思。還有就是京東送的真快啊，週五下午三點下單，週六早上就到了。btw這本書也是忒厚了，抵上我三本書

好

还没有开始看，不过出版社是北大的，感觉权威性有了，创新性也有了

书是经典，有些地方漏掉了，有些没有给出中文的意思，结合英文原版看效果更好。

这个也算是一本网红书吧，本来准备买英文版的，但是太贵了，就买个中英结合版的吧
