1:Second, students will be sent to work for a week with one of more than 140 firms in 11 countries.2:Already the new intake have had conference calls with these companies, ranging from the Brazilian soapmaker to a Chinese property firm, and gone off-campus to conduct product-development “dashes” like the one in Copley Mall.3:This sort of structured learning-by-doing is a world away from HBS’s traditional encouragement of students to “go on an adventure” outside of classes.

1:第二，把学生派往 11 国家里逾 140 家公司之一工作一周。2:这些新生已经同这些公司（范围涉及巴西的肥皂厂到中国的房地产公司）举行了电话会议，走出学校，为产品开发在附近“四处奔波”，例如去科普利超市。3:此类有组织的“做中学”不同于哈佛商学院鼓励学生到教室外“去冒险”的传统做法。

1:When he encounters such a withdrawal of collaboration, the theory goes, the malefactor will learn the error of his ways and become a more co-operative individual.2:And there is experimental evidence, based on specially designed games, that tit-for-tat does work for pairs of people.3:Human societies, though, are more complex than mere dyads.4:And until recently, it has been difficult to model that complexity in the laboratory.5:But a paper published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by Nicholas Christakis and his colleagues at Harvard has changed that.6:Dr Christakis arranged for a collaboration-testing game to be played over the web, with many participants.7:As a result, he and his team have gained a more sophisticated insight into the way co-operation develops.

1:根据这个理论，一旦作恶的一方得不到对方的合作，他将会从自己的错误中吸取教训，并变成一个更具有合作精神的人。2:根据从特别设计的游戏中取得的实验证据，投桃报李的原则确实适用于成对的研究对象。3:不过人类社会要比成对的研究对象复杂得多。4:直到最近为止，研究人员都很难在实验室中模拟出社会生活中的复杂情景。5:不过哈佛大学的尼古拉斯?克里斯塔（Nicholas Christakis）和他的同事们本周在《美国国家科学院院刊》上发表的论文改变了这个现实。6:克里斯塔博士设计了一个能够在互联网上供多人参与的合作测试游戏。7:根据这个游戏，克里斯塔博士和他的团队获得更多的资料，得以了解合作关系的演变规律。

1: If demography is indeed destiny, perhaps this figure should not be surprising. 2: More soldiers are male than female, and the male jobless rate exceeds women’s. 3: Since so many soldiers lack a college degree, the fact that the recession has been particularly hard on the less educated hits veterans disproportionately. 4: Large numbers of young veterans work—or worked—in stricken industries such as manufacturing and construction. 5: Whatever the cause, this bleak trend is occurring as the last American troops leave Iraq at the end of this year, and as more than 1m new veterans are expected to join the civilian labour force over the next four years.

1:如果说年龄结构决定失业率高低的话，大概下面的数字应该不会让人惊奇。2:男性士兵的人数要大于女性士兵的人数。理所当然，男性退伍士兵的失业率也要比女性退伍士兵高。3:因为许多士兵并未获得过大学文凭，事实上，经济衰退对受教育程度较差的士兵打击非常大。4:很大一部分年轻的退伍士兵，现在或曾经在受到了严重的冲击的领域，如制造业和建筑业中工作。5:无论原因为何，受教育越少，在经济衰退中受打击越大，这一形势将伴随着最后一批美国参战士兵在今年年底离开伊拉克，回到美国。未来四年间，将有超过一百万的新退伍士兵将涌入民政劳动力市场。

1: It is unclear how much the one-week working assignments will achieve. 2: Pankaj Ghemawat, a management guru, says “the literature suggests that an immersion experience needs to be at least 2-3 weeks and be backed up with time in the classroom.” 3: The HBS students’ classroom preparation will have to be pretty thorough, then, to make up for the brevity of their field trips. 4: Moreover, some of the HBS alumni who have agreed to offer work experience at their firms say they are unsure what meaningful work they can offer the students.

1:一周的工作任务有多大成效还不得而知。2: 管理大师潘卡基?格玛沃特（Pankaj Ghemawat）称“文献资料显示，浸入式体验至少需要 2-3 周的时间且需要课堂时间的配合。” 3:这样，哈佛商学院学生的课堂准备将必须非常充分，以弥补他们实地体验期的短暂。4:还有，已经同意提供工作经历的哈佛商学院校友们称，对提供给学生们何种有意义的工作他们并不确定。

The cause of the boom is simple: growing demand in Vietnam and, especially, China. To meet the demand, a complex network of loggers has sprung up, with the riskiest work carried out by the poorest. Some are country men plucked out by ringleaders promising large sums for sawn planks. Others are villagers solicited by local soldiers.
