精彩書摘

　　HOW TO TALK ABOUT PERSONALITY TYPES
　　如何描述個性類型
　　SESSION 1
　　第1節
　　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.
　　每個人都是獨一無二的，或以這樣的方式，或以那樣的方式。
　　每個人的個性都由基因和環境因素組閤決定。
　　下麵讓我們剖析10種個性類型（其中一種可能碰巧就是你的個性類型），這10種個性類型是文化、成長、傢庭背景和環境與遺傳相互作用的結果。
　　當然，我們從概念入手，而非詞匯。
　　IDEAS
　　概念
　　1. me first
　　以我為先
　　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
　　這樣的人對生活的態度簡單、直接、明瞭——他所做的每個決定都基於對一個問題的迴答：“這件事會給我帶來什麼？”如果他為瞭得到自我利益而錶現齣的自私、貪婪和無情的欲望傷害到他人，那隻能怪彆人太倒黴瞭。“朋友，這是一個無情的世界，狗咬狗，人人都為自己，而我呢？我在這方麵也絕不會落後於他人。”
　　他是一個egoist（利己主義者）。
　　2. the height of conceit
　　自負至極
　　“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
　　“現在大傢聽好瞭。你們聽說過我賺到瞭多少大錢嗎？我是否告訴過你們我最近的一次成功艷遇？讓我來告訴你我的觀點——我非常瞭解，因為我幾乎在任何事情上都是專傢！”這個傢夥的自誇程度已經達到瞭令人相當厭惡的程度——他用來演奏的小提琴上隻有一根琴弦，這根琴弦就是他自己；而在這唯一的一根琴弦上，他卻演奏齣瞭太多單調乏味的麯調：他的觀點是什麼，他做過什麼，他有多麼優秀，他會如何處理身邊的問題，還有很多其他令人作嘔的言語。
　　他是一個egotist（自大者）。
　　3. let me help you
　　讓我來幫助你
　　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
　　他已經發現瞭幸福的真正秘密——將自己和他人的安樂聯係起來。他從不考慮自己的利益，從不考慮下一個夥計是否好相處？
　　他是一個altruist（利他主義者）。
　　4. leave me alone
　　離我遠點兒
　　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
　　像一位生物化學傢正研究著顯微鏡下的一團細菌，他每時每刻都在審視自己的觀點、體會和行為。他無休無止地在心裏嘮叨，刨根問底地追問自己一些沒有答案的問題：“其他人對我有怎樣的看法？”“我看起來怎麼樣？”“我可能不應該那樣說？”因為他意識不到彆人根本不會花費那麼多時間和精力去像他一樣分析他自己。
　　他看起來可能並不擅長交際，但是他最大的願望卻是被彆人喜歡、接受。他可能很害羞，喜歡安靜；他經常會情緒化，不開心；他更喜歡獨處，或者他寜願身邊隻有一個人陪伴，也不要一群人的喧鬧。他對於需要創造力的工作頗有天資；而當需要和他人配閤時，他就會很不自在。他甚至有可能是個天纔，或者最終總會成為天纔。
　　他是一個introvert（內嚮的人）。
　　5. let’s do it together
　　讓我們閤作吧
　　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 英語說文解字 [Word Power Made Easy] 下載 mobi epub pdf txt 電子書
