A major medical breakthrough may illustrate the point. Scientists had intended to find a cure for smallpox, but they got nowhere. Edward Jenner, a British physician, abandoned the quest for a cure and conquered the disease by finding a way to prevent it. Obviously, it was creative thinking that led to his fruitful work. In short, it definitely pays to keep this in mind: there is more than one way to look at volumes of data you download.第三章1) 許多美國大學生申請政府貸款交付學費。Many American students apply for government loans to pay for their education / tuition.2) 除閱讀材料外，使用電影和多媒體會激發(fā)學生學習的興趣。Besides reading materials, the use of films and multimedia can stimulate students interest in a subject.3) 這位律師試圖說服陪審團 他的當事人是無辜的。Thelawyer tried to convince the jury of his clients innocence.4) 提問常常會引發(fā)創(chuàng)造的火花。Asking questions often generates the spark of creativity.5) 我已經(jīng)把我的簡歷寄往幾家公司，但尚未收到回復。I have sent off my rsum to several corporations, but havent yet received a reply.6) 她的結(jié)論是建立在對當前國際情況進行了認真的分析的基礎(chǔ)上的。Her conclusion is based on a careful analysis of current international affairs.7) 我們滿懷期望地來參加會議，離開時卻大失所望。We came to the meeting full of expectations, yet we left very disappointed.8) 暫時他只得接受了一份給一家化妝品公司發(fā)促銷傳單的活兒。At the moment he has to take the job of distributing leaflets to promote products for a cosmetic company.第五章1) 就能力而言,我肯定他能勝任這件工作。As far as ability is concerned, I am sure he will qualify for the job.2) 認為約翰會因為他的失禮而向他們正式道歉，那就錯了。It is wrong to assume that John will formally apologize to them for being impolite.3) 這一丑聞(scandal)對正在力爭贏得大選的工黨來說， 無疑是一件尷尬的事。This scandal will undoubtedly be an embarrassment to the Labour Party, which is trying hard to win the election.4) 我正在努力地寫學期論文，可是我的小妹妹卻不斷沖進我的房間打擾我。 I was hard at work on a term paper, but my baby sister kept interrupting me by bursting into my room.5) 我問了她數(shù)次，可她拒絕回答我的問題。I asked her several times, but she refused to respond to my question.6) 在西方，人們常常郵購商品，這可以節(jié)省許多時間。In the West, people often send away for mail-order goods, which can save a lot of time.7) 抱歉, 時間不多了，我建議我們跳到最后一章。Sorry time is running out; I suggest we skip to the last chapter.8) 既然你決心盡快完成碩士課程, 那就別讓你的社交生活妨礙你的學習。Since you have set your mind to finishing your masters program as soon as possible, dont let your social life stand in the way of your studies.第六章1) 裝了假肢，他起初走路走不穩(wěn)，但經(jīng)過鍛煉他的步子穩(wěn)了。Fitted with the artificial leg, he walked unsteadily at first, but with practice his steps was steady.2) 醫(yī)生說我得了重感冒，給我開了四種藥，三種是藥片，飯后服，另一種是藥水， 睡前服。The doctor said I had caught a severe cold and she prescribed me four different medicines.
