egoist 利己主义者
me first
Your attitude for 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”
你的生活态度很简单,直接,坦率,你所做的每一个决定,都基于“对我有什么好处?”这个问题的答案.如果你是一个自私的,贪婪的人,为了自己的利益不惜伤害别人,那就太坏了.“这个世界太凶残了,兄弟们,残酷的竞争,自相残杀,我呢,作为其中一员,自然不能落后!”
2.egotist 自大的人
the height of conceit
“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.
“你听说过我赚的那些钱么?我跟你说过我最近俘获的情人咩?让我给你点建议吧,因为我几乎什么事情都是专家啊!”你吹的有点过了,已经到了令人讨厌的地步,要是把你的对话比作小提琴,你那琴上就只有一根弦,也就是你自己.你还用它弹了那么多单调的变奏曲,你所想所做,你多好,你如何拯救世界,等等,令人作呕
【和第一个长得比较像,请注意区分】
3.altruist 利他主义者
let me help you
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?
你已经发现了快乐的秘密,把自己作为别人的福利.从不考虑自己的利益,那哥们儿你过得咋样?
4.introvert 内向的人
leave me alone
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 cooperation with other people.You may even be a genius,or eventually turn into one.
你就像生物学家在显微镜下研究菌群一样,每时每刻都在检视自己的思想,感觉,行为.“别人怎么想我?”“我看起来如何?”“也许我不该说这些?”,你天天就叨叨这些没用的事情.你就不能意识到,别人不会用你想象的那么多时间来研究你.你看上去不太合群,但是你却非常渴望被喜欢,被接受.你可能非常羞涩和安静,你喜怒无常而且老不开心,你喜欢独处,最多也就一个人陪你吧,一群人肯定不行.你有做创意工作的潜质,需要团队合作的项目就不太舒服.你可能是一个天才,或者说,你终结成为一个天才.
