1 The two most important but apparently inde
pendent features about van Gogh which most people know about are his spectacular, almost explosive, use of colour and the poor state of his mental health.
大部分人所知道的凡·高的两个最重要但显然互不相关的特点是：他对色彩神奇、几乎具有爆发力的运用以及他糟糕的精神状态。
2 Van Gogh soon grew discouraged with his life in Paris, and moved to Arles in the south of France, where, drawn by the sunshine, he hoped to establish an artists’ community.
凡·高很快就对他在巴黎的生活感到气馁，所以他搬到了法国南部的亚尔，那儿的阳光吸引了他，他希望在那儿成立一个画家之家。
3 But these very productive periods were matched by moments when despair prevailed, during which he doubted his ability to create a work of value.
但他的创作高分期也是他最绝望的时期，这段是其他自己没有能力创作出有价值的作品。

1 It is not surprising that modern children tend to look blank and dispirited when informed that they will someday have to “go to work and make a living”.
要是有人跟现在的孩子说他们长大后要“去工作以谋生”，他们往往会表现出一脸的茫然和沮丧，这并不奇怪。
2 Even grown men who do market research have trouble visualizing what a public relations man does with his day, and it is a safe bet that the average systems analyst is as baffled about what a space salesman does at the shop as the average space salesman is about the tools needed to analyze a system.
即使是那些从事市场研究工作的成年人也很难想象公关部的人每天都在做些什么，一名普通的系统分析师肯定不知道空间推销员在店里都干些什么，就好像空间推销员对分析系统的工具也一窍不通一样。
3 The machines that make things make them in such a fashion that they will quickly fall apart in such a way that repairs will be prohibitively expensive.

1. Americans in the 21st century devote more technology to staying connected than any society in history, yet somehow the devices fail us.
在使人与人保持联系方面，21世纪的美国人投入了比历史 上任何一个社会都要多的技术手段。然而这些手段却辜负了我们。
2 We treat socializing as if it’s a frivolous diversion from the tasks at hand rather than an activity that is essential to our well-being as individuals and as a community.
我们把交际当做了手头诸多任务中一个不起眼的小插曲，而不是一项对于我们个人或集体的利益都很重要的活动。
3 We may have isolated ourselves without entirely meaning to, but we also have ended up in a place that looks a lot like where we always knew that we were supposed to stand.
也许我们孤立自己并非完全出于本意，但是我们最后所处的处境，和我们一直的预期非常相近。
4 The truth is that if one can bring oneself to acknowledge loneliness, half the battle is won. It is not an easy half of a battle, however.
事实是，如果有人能承认自己孤独，那么这场战役他就赢了一半。但这一半却不是那么容易赢得的。
5 Small daily choices – whether to go to a local store or order off the Internet, whether to pick up a ringing telephone or let it go to voicemail, whether to get together with a friend or pop in a DVD – end up defining one’s social world.
日常生活中的小选择——是去当地的实体店还是在网上订购，是接起正在响的电话还是让对方语音留言，是与朋友聚聚还是自己看光碟——最终定义了一个人的社交世界。

1 The night of the accident, after we’d safely accounted for all 155 people on the airplane, left the hospital, finally reached the hotel – the pilots’ union and the NYPD whisking us away – I remember thinking that my needs were very simple.
事发当晚，我们在确保机上所有155名乘客的下落后，离开了医院，终于到了宾馆，是飞行员联合会及纽约市警察局的人送我们来的。我记得自己当时想要的非常简单。
2 As time went by, though, I was better able to put everything in perspective and realize how this event had touched people’s lives, how ready they were for good news, how much they wanted to feel hopeful again.
但是，随着时间的推移，我能更好地正确看待每件事并意识到这件事对人们生活的影响，他们是多么希望
得到好消息，他们是多么想再一次看到希望。
3 We valued every life on that airplane and knew it was our responsibility to try to save each

即使是最理智的人有时候也会对此深信不疑，认为冥冥之中有一种力量让他们在最糟糕的时期里灾祸连连。
2 So badness is much better represented as being on a spectrum rather than something which is there or not there.
所以我们更应该把事情的好坏看成是一个程度的问题，而不是非好即坏。
3 So while the probability of being made redundant on any particular day and the probability of being sick may both be small, the chance of both occurring is almost certainly higher than the product of the two
probabilities
因此，虽然人们在某一天被裁员和在某一天生病的概率都很小，但是这两件事同时发生的概率肯定要高于他们分别发生的概率。
4 As in most bad luck stories, you forget about the number of times the road doesn’t land awkwardly and remember the times it does.

5 Red lights come up just as often when the driver is not in a hurry; it’s just that the disadvantage of the red light is considerably less if time is not critical.
