3、things, luck.Outliers opens with a typically Gladwellian puzzle:why are so many professional hockey players born early in the year?生活是不公平的，这一点甚至连圣经也不加否认。不是每个人都能把棒球打的像迪马乔那样出神入化或把歌唱得像甲壳虫乐队那样震撼人心。但是我们对那些能做得如此完美的人终究理解多少?马尔科姆·格拉德威尔在他的新书异类:不一样的成功启示录中指出我们对这方面的理解还只是皮毛而已。我们常把甲壳虫乐队的骄人成就归因于他们惊人的音乐天赋，然而格

4、拉德威尔却有着独特的见解-天赋确实是获得成功的一个决定性因素，但是跟其他因素如运气相比，天赋的作用被过分夸张了。异类一开场就提出了一个典型的格拉德威尔之谜:为什么会有如此多的职业曲棍球运发动出生在一年中的前几个月份?短篇的名家英语美文：生活的乐趣 The Joy of Living Joy in living es from having fine emotions, trusting them，giving them the freedom of a bird in the open.Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put o

5、n from the outside as a mask.People who have this joy do not need to talk about it; they radiate it.They just live out their joy and let it splash its sunlight and glow into other lives as naturally as a bird sings.And those who have and e_hibit the joy of living are never those who have been withou

8、些人全身都会散发出这种气息。他们只需感受自己的快乐，并用这种快乐如同鸟儿歌唱的方式，自然而然地感染别人，使他布门感受到快乐的阳光和热力。而那些拥有并展现出生活乐趣的人，绝不是那些没有忧虑、痛苦、失败、绝望与沮丧的人。相反地，他们是那些曾吃过苦头也成功过的一群人，无怨无悔地承当人生的大起大落。做事轻率、浅薄而又自私的人从不会有生活的乐趣。我们假设直接追求生活的乐趣是永远得不到它的。就像快乐一样，生活的乐趣只会降临在那些目的更为远大的人的身上。生活过得高雅、纯朴就会有生活的乐趣。生活的乐趣来自我们对生活所做的投入，而非所求。短篇的名家英语美文：Hunger 饥饿1Believe it or not

12、ssed by hunger, I would visit Chunchao Bookstore every day to seek a loan of money.When Kang Nong or Fu Hua was there, I would have no problem in borrowing a couple of silver dollars through them.But I seldom found them in the store and the clerks of course had no say in this matter.Therefore, in ni

18、k home.I came here on foot.”10 The uncontrollable desire for food burning within me, I ignored all propriety and poured out my plaints without feeling ashamed.The cashier seemed apathetic, smiling a sardonic smile.A young clerk, however, was kind enough to tell me.11 “You just need to wait a little while.Im sure your book will sell quick.Soon you can take all the money that es from todays sale of it.”“短篇的名家英语美文”END第 8 页 共 8 页
