1 They tell us,among other facts,that we do not choose our favourite color as we grow up-we are born with our preference.If you happen to love brown,you did so as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
他们告诉我们许多东西,其中之一是我们并不是在成长过程中挑选自己偏爱的色彩--我们的这种偏爱与生俱来.若你恰好喜欢棕色,那么当你睁开眼睛时,或者至少你能看清东西时,你就有这种偏爱了.
2 I suggest that by refusing to lower themselves to such undignified performances cats prove how smart they are.They are harder to train than dogs,because they have little interest in begging,fetching or rolling over and playing dead.
依我看,猫拒绝降低身价做这些有失身份的行为,恰恰证明它们很聪明.猫比狗难驯化,这是因为它们对乞求、取物、打滚和装死这样的行为不敢兴趣.
3 Present yourself as a winner.The way you dress,speak and move gives the interviewer more information about you than you would think possible.The thumbs-down decision was often made in less than forty-five seconds-even before the applicant thought the interview had begun.
要让自己表现得像胜利者一样.你穿着、讲话和动作的方式都会给面试官留下更多了解你的信息,而这比你能想到的要多得多.没被录取的决定通常不到45秒就做出了,甚至这时应聘者觉得面试还没开始.
4 Look alert,poised and friendly.When that interviewer looks into the waiting room and calls your name,he and she is getting a first impression of your behavior.
要让人看上去你思维敏捷、镇定自若且亲切友善.当面试官朝等候室望去并喊你名字时,你的行为就会给他或她留下第一印象.
