1:“How Much Is Enough?” and “What Money Can’t Buy” are well-argued versions of this second view.2:In the former, Robert and Edward Skidelsky, a father-and-son pair of British academics, take as their text an essay written in 1930 by John Maynard Keynes.3:Keynes (of whom the elder Skidelsky has written a three-volume biography) mused that within a century “the economic problem” would be solved: in rich countries people would be at least four times wealthier, on average, and have to work perhaps 15 hours a week.4:He looks right about living standards, but horribly wrong about working hours.

1:《多少钱才算够？》和《钱财所不能买》两本书对第二种观点进行很好的论证。2:罗伯特·斯基德尔斯基和爱德华·斯基德尔斯基两人是英国大学教师，父子二人合作共同写成《多少钱才算够？》此书。3:新书以约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯于1930年写的一篇论文为背景（老斯基德尔斯基曾为凯恩斯写过一部三卷的传记）。凯恩斯猜想一百年以内“经济问题”将会得以解决，富国人民至少富裕四倍；平均下来，每周大概只需工作15个小时。4:对于生活水平，凯恩斯是猜对了，但是对于工作时间，凯恩斯却是大错特错。

1:Gray博士和 Wegner博士认为：他们的发现表明引起恐怖谷效应的大部分原因根源在于人们的预期没有得到满足。2:人们认为机器人不会有情感，当发现它们拥有情感时，人们就会觉得这是不正常的。3:相比之下，人类是有情感的，当人们发现某个人没有情感时，他们同样会感到恐惧不安。4:一些人认为机器人发展到最后，会在物质形态上与人类十分相似，但这次研究的结论可能会让他们断了这种念头。

1:Besides, he was no looker.2:Ms Ephron, though striking and svelte all her life, worried in the niggling way of women that her breasts were too small, her neck too crêpy (“I Feel Bad About My Neck” was the title of one book), her skin dry and her purse just wrong.3:George, whose neck was three feet of scrag and whose skin would have made several dozen purses, all thick, dry leather, didn’t care two hoots.4:His one concession to fashion was a shell in taupe.5:Ms Ephron preferred black; but taupe, especially on a couch, didn’t show the dirt.

1:另外，他面容并不俊俏。2:虽然艾小姐一生模样俊秀、身材苗条，但她也以女人特有的琐碎，为她的胸太小、脖子皮肤太松弛太多皱纹（她的一本书便叫做《我的脖子让我感觉糟糕》）、她的皮肤太干以及钱包样式不对而焦虑。3:乔治的脖子三英尺长，他的皮可以做成几十个厚重的干革钱包，他对此毫不在乎。4:对于时尚，他做出了一次让步，就是他灰褐色的壳。5:艾小姐偏好黑色，但是灰褐色不显脏，特别是用在沙发上。

1:The point, though, apart from sheer wackiness, is that neutrinos are not easily intercepted by collisions with other sorts of matter.2:If humanity wanted to broadcast its existence to intelligent life forms that might be out in the galaxy listening, a modulated beam of neutrinos would be a good way of doing so.3:Conversely, some people argue that listening for ET at radio frequencies is the wrong approach.4:The right one, they think, would be to build a neutrino-receiver.5:And that would mean plenty of work for neutrino physicists.6:Perhaps, then, from its makers’ point of view, the neutrinophone is not such a nutty idea, after all.

1:然而，重要的不仅是其古怪性而且中微子在传输中当受到其他物质的撞击时不容易被破坏。2:如果人类想让远在银河系的地方听到充满智慧生命存在性的广播，那么经过调制的中微子光束则是使他实现的一种很好的方式。3:相反，一些人认为利用无线电广播频率收听外星人是一种错误的方式。4:他们认为正确的方式应该是搭建一个中微子载波的接收器。5:这就意味着中微子的物理学家将需要做大量的工作。6:那么，也许中微子电话的制造商会认为，毕竟中微子电话并非是一个疯狂的创意。

1: The small details speak loudly. As the story opens, Zoe stands terrified as 5,000 people chant her name—yet she is equally frightened that one day they may stop. 2: On another occasion she lingers and stares at Kate’s bike before a race and implants the idea that something could be wrong; she wins the mental advantage, and the quicker start. 3: By such tiny glances and irrecoverable moments lives are changed, a lesson that reaches beyond sport. 4: The moment of winning a gold medal, by contrast, can almost seem disappointing.

1:小细节里有大蕴义。譬如小说开场，5000名观众反复喊着若伊的名字，这让站在台上的她紧张极了；然而若有一天人们不再这么做，她同样会害怕。2:另外一个场景，在一场比赛开始前，若伊故意徘徊着，盯住凯特的自行车，让对方觉得自己的车子出了毛病。于是她赢得了心理上的优势，在起点上抢占了先机。3:但是这种伎俩和自私的光景被某种高于体育的精神改变了。4:相形之下，夺取金牌的时刻，几乎让人沮丧。
