How the News Got Less Mean
The most read article of all time on BuzzFeed contains no photographs of celebrity nip slips and no inflammatory ranting.It’s a series of photos called ―21 pictures that will restore your faith in humanity,‖ which has p ulled in nearly 14 million visits so far. At Upworthy too,hope is the major draw. ―This kid just died.What he left behind is wondtacular,‖an Upworthy post about a terminally ill teen singer,earned 15 million views this summer and has raised more than $300,000 for cancer research.
The recipe for attracting visitors to stories online is changing.Bloggers have traditionally turned to sarcasm and snark to draw attention.But the success of sites like BuzzFeed and Upworthy,whose philosophies embrace the viral nature of upbeat stories,hints that Web craves positivity.
The reason:social media.Researchers are discovering that people want to create positive images of themselves online by sharing upbeat stories.And with more people turning to Facebook and Twitter to find out what’s happening in the world,news stories may need to cheer up in order to court an audience.If social is the future of media,then optimistic stories might be media’s future.
―When we started,the prevailing wisdom was that snark ruled the Internet,‖says Eli Pariser,a co-founder of Upworthy. ―And we just had a
really different sense of what works.‖
―You don’t want to be that guy at the party who’s crazy and angry and ranting in the corner—it’s the same for Twitter or Facebook,‖he says. ―Part of what we’re trying to do with Upworthy is give people the tools to express a conscientious,thoughtful and positive identity in social media.‖And the science appears to support Pariser’s philosophy.In a recent study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,researchers found that―up votes,‖showing that a visitor liked a comment or story,begat more up votes on comments on the site,but―down votes‖did not do the same.In fact,a single up vote increased the likelihood that someone else would like a comment by 32%,whereas a down vote had no effect. People don’t want to support the cranky commenter,the critic or the troll.Nor do they want to be that negative personality online.
In another study published in 2012,Jonah Berger,author of Contagious:Why Things Catch On and professor of marketing at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania,monitored the most e-mailed stories produced by the New York Times for six months and found that positive stories were more likely to make the list than negative ones.
―What we share [or like] is almost like the car we drive or the clothes we wear,‖he says.―It says something about us to other people.So people would much rather be seen as a Positive Polly than a Debbie Downer.‖
It’s not always that simple:Berger says that tho ugh positive pieces drew more traffic than negative ones,within the categories of positive and negative stories,those articles that elicited more emotion always led to more shares.
―Take two negative emotions,for example:anger and sadness,‖Berger says. ―Both of those emotions would make the reader feel bad.But anger,a high arousal emotion,leads to more sharing,whereas sadness,a low arousal emotion,doesn’t.The same is true of the positive side:excitement and humor increase sharing,whereas contentment decreas es sharing.‖And while some popular BuzzFeed posts--l ike the recent ―Is this the most embarrassing interview Fox News has ever done?‖--might do their best to elicit shares through anger,both BuzzFeed and Upworthy recognize that their main success lies in creating positive viral material.
―It’s not that people don’t share negative stories,‖says Jack Shepherd,editorial director at BuzzFeed.‖it just means that there’s a higher potential for positive stories to do well.‖
Upworthy’s mission is to highlight serious issues but in a hopeful way,encouraging readers to donate money,join organizations and take action.The strategy seems to be working:barely two years after its launch date(in March 2012),the site now boasts 30 million unique visitors per month,according t o Upworthy.The site’s average monthly unique visitors grew to 14 million people over its first six quarters –to put that in
perspective, the Huffington Post had only about 2 million visitors in its first six quarters online.
But Upworthy measures the success of a story not just by hits. The creators of the site only consider a post a success if it’s also shared frequently on social media.―We are interested in content that people want to share partly for pragmatic reasons,‖ Pariser says.―If you don’t have a good theory abou how to appear in Facebook and Twitter , then you may disappear.‖
Nobody has mastered the ability to make a story go viral like BuzzFeed.The site,which begen in 2006 as a lab to figure out what people share online, has used what it’s learned to draw 60 million monthly unique visitors,according to BuzzFeed.(Most of that traffic comes from social—networking sites, driving readers toward BuzzFeed’s mix of cute animal photos and hard news.) By comparison the New York Times website , one of the most popular newspaper sites on the Web , courts only 29 million unique visitors each month , according to the Times .
BuzzFeed editors have found that people do still read negative or critical stories , they just aren’t the p osts they share with their friends.And those shareable posts are the ones that newsrooms increasingly prize .
―Anecdotally,I can tell you people are just as likely to click on negative stories as they are to click on positive ones, ‖ says Shepherd.
―But they’re more likely to share positive stories.What you’re interested in is different from what you want your friends to see what you’re interested in . ‖
So as newsrooms re—evaluate how they can draw readers and elicit more shares on Twitter and Facebook , they may look to Buz zFeed’s and Upworthy’s happiness model for direction .
―I think that the Web is only becoming more social , ‖ Shepherd says. ―We’re at a point where readers are your publishers. If news sites aren’t thinking about what it would mean for someone to share a story on social media,that could be detrimental . ‖

城市的迷失
沿着瑗珲—腾冲线，这条1935年由胡焕庸先生发现并命名的中国人口、自然和历史地理的分界线，我们看到，从远距离贸易发展开始的那天起，利益和权力的渗透与分散，已经从根本结构上改变了城市的状态：城市在膨胀，人在疏离。里尔的阿兰（Alain）的话到今天仍然振聋发聩：“金钱万能，不是凯撒万能。”
在古罗马，柱子是按照人的比例划分的；到了文艺复兴时期，人就是世界上最美好的尺度。今天的中国城市里，裁弯取直的河渠，向四面八方扩张的交通，膨胀硕大的以便于接纳更多商业行为的城市广场与建筑立面，都在告诉人们建设背后的权力与资本才是审美标准。直到有一天，回过头来看到自己的孩子站在为车辆交通铺开的、满是尘土的路上，我们才发现，城市的大，却容不下一个让孩子们展开笑颜的机会。
规划和设计的弊病，不在于追求利益这件事本身，而在于追求利益和权利时的鬼迷心窍，把人类其他的需要都忘记得一干二净。城市数量在变多、规模在扩大、城乡结构在解体，但城市的性质和目的，却被忘却了:最聪明的人不再懂得社会生活的形式，而最无知的人却准备去建设社会生活的形式。
城市大了，人小了。人们和他们的城市息息相关而又格格不入。人们不能获得有悖于商业世界、内容更充实更满意的生活手段，成为了旁观者、读者、听众和消极的观察者。于是，我们年夏一年不是真正地生活着，而是间接地生活着，远离内在的本性。这些本性，掠过照片沉默和迷茫的脸孔，偶然从天空飘过的风筝看到，偶然从孩子们看到鸽子时孩子脸上的笑靥看到。
人与城市的分离，让人无所适从；让人欣慰的是，大家都没有忘记要生活这
件事。城市最早作为神袛的家园，代表了永恒的价值、安慰和神的力量。过去人与人的隔离与区别，将不能维持下去；城市最终体现的不再是一个神化了的统治者的意志，而是城市每一个个体和全体的意志；它不再是冲突本身，而成为了为日常生活的矛盾与冲突、挑战与拥抱提供生动舞台的容器；艺术与思想有一天也能闪现在城市的角落，与人们的生活相交织。也许到了这一天，我们才能真正说，城市让生活更美好。

英译汉历年真题翻译
英译汉历年真题全文翻译 1994年真题参考译文 新学派科学家们认为，在扩大科学知识范围的过程中，技术是一股被忽视了的力量(71)他们认为，科学之所以向前发展，与其说是因为天才伟人的真知灼见，还不如说是因为像改进了的技术和工具之类更为普遍的东西。(72)一位新学派的领袖人物坚持说，简言之，所谓的科学革命主要是指一系列工具的改进、发明和使用；这一系列工具的改进、发明和使用在无数个方面拓展了科学的领域。(73)多年来，工具和技术本身作为根本性革新的源泉在很大程度上被历史学家和思想家们所忽视了。肯定技术的现代派认为，诸如伽利略、牛顿、麦克斯韦、爱因斯坦这样的著名科学大师以及像爱迪生这样的发明家都十分重视各种不同的、可用于科学实验的工艺信息和技术装置并从中获益匪浅，提倡肯定技术、否定天才的论点之核心是对伽利略在科学革命的初期所起作用的分析。当时人们对天体的认识源于公元二世纪时的天文学家托勒密。他认为，在复杂的天体系统中所有的天体都围绕着地球运动。(74)伽利略最伟大的成就在于，在l 609年他是第一个用新发明的望远镜来观察天空的人，以证实行星是围绕太阳旋转而不是围绕地球旋转的。但故事中真正的英雄，新学派科学家们认为，是改进制作眼镜的机器的漫长过程。 联邦政府的政策不可避免地卷入了这场“技术”对“天才”之争。(75)政府是应该以牺牲技术作为代价来增加对纯理论科学的经费投入，还是相反，这常常取决于人们把哪一个看作驱动力量。
1995年真题参考译文 广泛用来帮助选拔、分类、委派或者提拔学生、雇员和军事人员的标准化教育或心理测试最近在图书、杂志、日报甚至国会中成了攻击的目标。(71)把标准化测试作为抨击的目标是错误的，因为在抨击这些测试的时候，批评家没有注意到错误在于那些不甚了解或者是不能胜任的使用者。测试本身只是工具，其特点是在具体条件下可以得到相当精确的测定。测试结果究竟是有价值、无意义或者有误导作用在部分程度上取决于工具本身，但在很大程度上取决于使用者。 所有对未来表现有根据的预测都取决于对相关的过去表现的一些了解：学习成绩、研究能力、销售纪录或者任何合适的信息。(72)这些测试将在多大程度上为后来的表现所证实，这取决于所采用信息的数量、可靠性和适应性，还取决于解释这些信息的技能和才智。任何认真记分的人都知道，能获得的信息往往不全面，而且预测很容易出现错误。应该根据这种情况看待标准化测试。对于一个人的学识，他所掌握的技能或者他是哪种类型的人，标准化测试提供了快捷，而客观的获取信息的办法、和其他种类的信息一样，按这种方法获得的信息从质量上来讲也有其自身的长处和短处。(73)因此，在某一特定情况下，究竟是采用测试，(采用)其他种类的信息，或是两者兼用，取决于与相对效度有关的来自经验的证据，还取决于诸如费用和可获取性之类的因素。(74)一般来说，当所要测定的特征能够最为精确地界定时，测试最为有效；而当所要测定或预测的东西不能明确地界定时，测试的效果则最差。如果使用得当，测试提供一种快速获取有关许多人的可比性信息的方法，有时还会鉴别出潜力大、过去却未被承认的学生，但测试无法做到的事情也很多。(75)例如，这些测试并不能弥补明显的社会不公平现

2017年韩音素翻译竞赛英译汉原文
英译汉竞赛原文： The Concept of Intelligence in Cross-cultural Perspectives [1] One of the positive outcomes from so much research on the relationship between culture and intelligence is an expanded view of what intelligence may be, and how it may be conceptually related to culture. This issue is intricately intertwined with cross-cultural research on intelligence because one of the possible confounding factors in previous studies that documented cultural differences has been cultural differences in the very concept and meaning of intelligence. [2] Researchers in this area have discovered that many languages have no word that corresponds to our idea of intelligence. The closest Mandarin equivalent, for instance, is a Chinese character that means “good brain and talented”. Chinese people often associate this concept with traits such as imitation, effort, and social responsibility. Such traits do not constitute important elements of the concept of intelligence for most Americans. [3] African cultures provide a number of examples. The Baganda of East Africa use the word obugezi to refer to a combination of mental and social skills that make a person steady, cautious, and friendly. The Djerma-Songhai in West Africa use the term akkal, which has an even broader meaning – a combination of intelligence, know-how, and social skills. Still another society, the Baoule, uses the term n’glouele, which describes children who are not only mentally alert but also willing to volunteer their services without being asked. [4] Because of the enormous differences in the ways cultures define intelligence, it is difficult to make valid comparisons from one society to another. That is, different cultures value different traits (their definition of “intelligence”) and have divergent views concerning which traits are useful in predicting future important behaviors (also culturally defined). People in different cultures not only disagree about what constitutes intelligence but also about the proper way to demonstrate those abilities. In mainstream North American society, individuals are typically rewarded for displaying knowledge and skills. This same behavior may be considered improper, arrogant, or rude in societies that stress personal relationships, cooperation, and modesty. [5] These differences are important to cross-cultural studies of intelligence because successful performance on a task of intelligence may require behavior that is considered immodest and arrogant in Culture A (and therefore only reluctantly displayed by members of Culture A)but desirable in Culture B (and therefore readily displayed by members of Culture B). Clearly, such different attitudes toward the same behavior could lead researchers to draw inaccurate conclusions about differences in intelligence between Culture A and Culture B. [6] Another reason it is difficult to compare intelligence cross-culturally is that tests of intelligence often rely on knowledge that is specific to a particular culture; investigators based in that culture may not even know what to test for in a different culture. For example, one U.S. intelligence test contains the following question: “How does a violin resemble a piano?” Clearly, this question assumes prior knowledge about violins and pianos –quite a reasonable expectation for middle-class Americans, but not for people from cultures that use different musical instruments. [7] Our expanding knowledge about cultural differences in the concept of intelligence has had important ramifications for our theoretical understanding of intelligence in mainstream American psychology as well. Although traditional thinking and reasoning abilities have dominated views of intelligence in the past, in recent years psychologists have begun to turn their attention to other possible aspects of intelligence. Until very recently, for example, creativity was not considered a part of intelligence; now, however, psychologists are increasingly considering this important human ability as a type of intelligence. Other aspects of intelligence are also coming to the forefront. A psychologist has suggested that there are really seven different types of intelligence: logical mathematical, linguistic, musical, spatial, bodily kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. According to this scheme, not only do the core components of each of these seven types of intelligence differ, but so do some sample end-states (such as mathematician versus dancer). His theory of

1、闻名于世的丝绸之路是一系列连接东西方的路线。丝绸之路延伸6,000 多公里。得名于古代中国的丝绸贸易。丝绸之路上的贸易在中国、南亚、欧洲和中东文明发展中发挥了重要作用。正是通过丝绸之路，中国的造纸、火药、指南针、印刷等四大发明才被引介到世界各地。同样，中国的丝绸、茶叶和瓷器( porcelain) 也传遍全球。物质文化的交流是双向的。欧洲也通过丝绸之路出口各种商品和植物，满足中国市场的需要。 The world-renowned Silk Road is a series of routes connecting the East and the West. It extended more than 6,000 kilometers. The Silk Road was named after ancient China 's ilk trade which played an important role in the civilization development of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It was through the Silk Road that papermaking, gunpowder, compass and printing of the four great inventions of ancient China were introduced around the world. Similarly, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain spread all over the world. Europe also exported various goods and plants through the Silk Road to meet the needs of the Chinese market. 2、中国园林是经过三千多年演变而成的独具一格的园林景观。它既包括为皇室成员享乐而建造的大型花园，也包括学者、商人和卸任的政府官员为摆脱嘈杂的外部世界而建造的私家花园。这些花园构成了一种意在表达人与自然之间应有的和谐关系的微缩景观。典型的中国园林四周有围墙，园内有池塘、假山、树木、花草以及各种各样由蜿蜒的小路和走廊连接的建筑。漫步在花园中，人们可以看到一系列精心设计的景观犹如山水画卷一般展现在面前。 After 3,000 years of evolvement, Chinese gardens have become a unique landscape. This includes both large gardens built as entertainment venues for royal family, and private gardens built as secluded retreats for scholars, merchants and retired government officials. These gardens have constituted a miniature that is designed in praise of the harmony between man and nature. A typical Chinese garden is surrounded by walls and consists of various buildings linked by winding trails and corridors, with ponds, rockeries, trees, and flowers scattered in it. Wandering in such a well-designed garden, people may feel that they are walking in a landscape painting. 3、中国人自古以来就在中秋时节庆祝丰收，这与北美地区庆祝感恩节的习俗十分相似，过中秋节的习俗与唐代早期在中国各地开始流行，中秋节在农历八月十五，是人们拜月的节日，这天夜晚皓月当空，人们合家团聚，共赏明月。2006 年，中秋节被列为中国的文化遗产，2008 年又被定为公共假日，月饼被视为中秋节不可或缺的美食，人们将月饼作为礼物馈赠亲友或在家庭聚会上享用。传统的月饼上带有“寿” (Iongevity)、“福”或“和”等字样。 Since ancient times, the Chinese people usually celebrate harvest in the Mid-Autumn, which is simiIar to the custom of ceIebrating Thanksgiving in the North America. The tradition of ceIebrating Mid-Autumn festivaI became popuIar throughout China in the earIy Tang dynasty. The Iunar August 15 is a day for peopIe worshiping the moon.
