　　眼睛會說話 Eyes Can Speak

　　Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

　　我們的眼睛能準(zhǔn)確地傳達(dá)一些信息，所以人們常說，眼睛會說話。

　　Do you have such kind of experience? In a bus you may look at stranger, but not too long. And if he is sensing that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.

　　你有過類似的體驗嗎?在公共汽車上，你可能會看著一個陌生人，但時間不會太長。而且，如果他能感覺到有人盯著他，會覺得渾身不自在。

　　The same in daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward other’s stare with you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

　　日常生活中亦如此。如果別人一直盯著你看，你就會不由自主地審視自己，看看是不是有什么地方弄錯了。如果一切正常，你就會對別人的這種盯梢很氣憤。眼睛確實能說話，不是嗎?

　　Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. But things are different when it comes to stare at the opposite sex. If a man glances at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to avert his gaze, his intentions are obvious, that is, he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he is admiring her.

　　過久的盯著別人看會給人一種粗魯和侵犯的感覺。但異性之間的凝視就不同了。如果一個男人盯著一個女人超過10秒鐘，還不想挪開視線的話，他的意思就十分明顯了，他想引起她的注意，想讓她知道他愛慕她。

　　However, the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking, to tell him that he is attentive.

　　正常情況下，兩人交談時，目光接觸能傳達(dá)這樣的意思：說者偶爾看看聽者，以此確認(rèn)聽著是否在認(rèn)真傾聽。而對于聽者來說，他會一直看著說話的人，以此告訴他，自己正專心致志的聽著。

　　If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking, as if he tries to dominate you, you will feel disconcerted. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim, since he believes in the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. Quite the contrary.

　　假如與你說話的那個人直直的盯著你，好像要鎮(zhèn)住你似的，你便會感到惶恐不安。一般地，說謊者往往就是看別人的時間過長，而令人起疑。因為他們以為直視別人的眼睛是誠實溝通的表現(xiàn)，結(jié)果恰恰相反。

　　In fact, continuous eye contact is confined to lovers only, who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time, to show affection that words cannot express.

　　實際上，長時間的相互凝視僅適合情人之間，他們喜歡溫柔的對視，用目光來傳達(dá)言語無法表達(dá)的愛意。

　　Evidently, eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.

　　顯然，目光交流應(yīng)該根據(jù)雙方的關(guān)系和特定場合來進(jìn)行。

　　比爾蓋茨的十大人生定律 Ten Rules For Life of Bill Gates

　　Life is not fair, get used to it.

　　生活是不公平的;要去適應(yīng)它。

　　The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something before you feel good about yourself.

　　這世界并不會在意你的自尊。這世界指望你在自我感覺良好之前先要有所成就。

　　You will not make 40 thousand dollars a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice president with a car phone, until you earn both.

　　高中剛畢業(yè)你不會一年掙4萬美元。你不會成為一個公司的副總裁，并擁有一部裝有電話的汽車，直到你將此職位和汽車電話都掙到手。

　　If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. He doesn’t have tenure.

　　如果你認(rèn)為你的老師嚴(yán)厲，等你有了老板再這樣想。老板可是沒有任期限制的。

　　Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.

　　烙牛肉餅并不有損你的尊嚴(yán)。你的祖父母對烙牛肉餅可有不同的定義;他們稱它為機(jī)遇。

　　If you mess up, it’s not your parents" fault, so don’t whine about our mistakes, learn from them.

　　如果你陷入困境，那不是你父母的過錯，所以不要尖聲抱怨我們的錯誤，要從中吸取教訓(xùn)。

　　Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parents’ generation, try "delousing" the closet in your own room.

　　在你出生之前，你的父母并非像他們現(xiàn)在這樣乏味。他們變成今天這個樣子是因為這些年來他們一直在為你付賬單，給你洗衣服，聽你大談你是如何的酷。所以，如果你想消滅你父母那一輩中的"寄生蟲"來拯救雨林的話，還是先去清除你房間衣柜里的蟲子吧。

　　Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life has not. In some schools they have abolished failing grades; they’ll give you as many times as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to anything in real life.

　　你的學(xué)校也許已經(jīng)不再分優(yōu)等生和劣等生，但生活卻仍在做出類似區(qū)分。在某些學(xué)校已經(jīng)廢除不及格分;只要你想找到正確答案，學(xué)校就會給你無數(shù)的機(jī)會。這和現(xiàn)實生活中的任何事情沒有一點相似之處。

　　Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.

　　生活不分學(xué)期。你并沒有暑假可以休息，也沒有幾位雇主樂于幫你發(fā)現(xiàn)自我。自己找時間做吧。

　　Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

　　電視并不是真實的生活。在現(xiàn)實生活中，人們實際上得離開咖啡屋去干自己的工作。
