【篇一】有關(guān)成功的英語口語對話
A:What's your understanding of real success?
以你的理解,真正的成功是什么?
B: I think different things can mean success. Firstly. the individual should be enthusiastic about his or her career. He or she should feel a sense of reword as well as receive others'
recognition from what he or she does. Secondly. success can mean raising a lovely and happy family. Lastly.to find friends that share similar goals and interests is also considered success.
我認(rèn)為.成功意味著很多東西。首先要熱愛自己的事業(yè),在事業(yè)上能得到滿足感,并且在行業(yè)里得到認(rèn)可。其次.成功也可以指擁有一個美滿幸福的家庭。后,成功是有志同道合的朋友。
A:Do you think money equals to success?
你覺得金錢意味著成功嗎?
B: I don't think it's that relevant. I reckon if someone feels passionate about his or her career and is persistent with his or her career goals.then he or she can get a promotion or win a prize. Money would just follow. However, real joy doesn't necessarily need money, especially if one gets a sense of reward or pride from what he or she does. Money can help you buy tangible things.but it cannot really make you happy.
我覺得金錢不一定和成功有關(guān)。我認(rèn)為,如果一個人熱愛自己的事業(yè),堅持不斷地在事業(yè)上發(fā)展.那么他/她就很可能得到提拔或獎勵.金錢自然會跟著來。但是真正的樂趣不一定在于獲得金錢.而是那種來自事業(yè)上的滿足感和自豪感。金錢能買到物質(zhì)方面的東西,但無法讓人真正快樂。
A:How do you suggest that teachers should do to reward their students?
你覺得老師應(yīng)該怎樣獎勵學(xué)生?
B: A feasible option is that teachers can give students that perform well in class with a special position, like the class event organizer. This way, this student can become a role model whilst building his or her confidence as well as leadership and social skills. Another idea is to have students vote on other better performing students to be granted an "Outstanding Student Award" during an award granting ceremony.
一種可行的方法是,老師可以讓做得好的孩子在班級擔(dān)任一個特別的職位,比如班級活動負(fù)責(zé)人,讓同學(xué)們能有一個學(xué)習(xí)的榜樣,同時也能增強(qiáng)這個孩子的自信心、領(lǐng)導(dǎo)能力和社會交往能力。還有一個辦法是讓同學(xué)們投票選出表現(xiàn)好的學(xué)生,舉辦頒獎儀式,獎勵這些出色學(xué)生。
【篇二】有關(guān)成功的英語口語對話

是什么促使你創(chuàng)立Craigslist網(wǎng)站?

因此,在1995年,我開始通過電子郵件向朋友們傳達(dá)舊金山地區(qū)藝術(shù)展和科技活動的消息,
Over the months that followed, people kept asking if I could add the occasional job posting andlistings for things to sell, too.
幾個月后,人們問我可不可以加點(diǎn)臨時職位發(fā)布,或者求購消息
Then I said, “Let’s add apartment listings, too.”
于是我說,干脆連房屋租賃消息也加上算了,
It was all done through a very simple E-mail, a cc: list.
那些都是通過簡單的電子郵件抄送列表進(jìn)行的。
This is the sort of pattern we still have today
現(xiàn)在我們依然保持著這種形式

【篇三】有關(guān)成功的英語口語對話
Todd: We're talking about education and about, you know, people applying themselves andgiving grades and giving praise and stuff like that. Have you ever thought that maybe we,because we're both teachers, both of us are teachers, that maybe we put too much effort onjudging everybody and that maybe it's OK for kids to realise failure is not really a bad thing ormaybe quitting is not a bad thing?
托德:我們來討論一下教育、專心、打分、稱贊之類的事情。我們都是老師,你有沒有想過也許我們在判斷別人上投入了太多精力,也許應(yīng)該讓孩子們意識到失敗并不是件壞事,或是放棄并不是件壞事。
Julia: Absolutely. Yeah, I think, I think all the emphasis should be put on the effort that peoplemake and yeah the failing or succeeding is kind of secondary to that.
朱莉婭:沒錯。我認(rèn)為應(yīng)該把所有的重點(diǎn)放在人們所做的努力上,失敗或是成功是其次。
Todd: Because it does seem that we push kids at all levels to get good grades, go to college,get that good job and that, that usually works out but in a lot of cases people find successbecause they fail, because they don't do well and that leads them to something else in life. So Iguess, I'm not saying don't try, just quit at everything, but that we have to just accept thatactually maybe quitting is not such a bad thing.
托德:看起來我們在要求各種水平的孩子取得好成績,要求他們上大學(xué),找到好工作,一般這種方法行得通,可是在很多追求成功的人身上,因為失敗或是他們做得不太好,會使他們的生活面臨另外一種情況。我并不是說不去嘗試,所有事都要放棄,而是我們必須要接受,也許放棄并不是件壞事。
Julia: No, I don't think it is. No, I think you're working, that's all part of the learning process,working out what. I was lucky. I was given very good advice at school and I wasn't pushed toget good grades, I wasn't pushed to pursue a career. The advice I was given was do what youenjoy doing cos they're the things you'll be good at.
朱莉婭:我認(rèn)為那并不是壞事。我認(rèn)為那都是在學(xué)習(xí)。我很幸運(yùn),我在學(xué)校得到了非常好的建議,我沒有被逼著要拿高分或是追求好的事業(yè)。我得到的建議是,做你喜歡做的事情,因為那些是你真正擅長的事情。
Todd: Yeah.
托德:對。
Julia: And that was great advice. I don't have a career but I'm happy.
朱莉婭:那是非常棒的建議。我沒有什么事業(yè),但是我很開心。
Todd: There you go. There was a great quote the other day by someone in the paper aboutstarting your own business and the person said, you know, follow your passion and keep at itand the money will follow and I think that's pretty much the case for a lot of people that, youknow, that they find success.
托德:說得很對。有人曾在論文中引用過一段與創(chuàng)業(yè)有關(guān)的精彩的話,那段話是這樣說的:追隨你的激情,堅持下去,金錢自然會隨之而來,我認(rèn)為很多尋求成功的人都是這種情況。
Julia: There's that other famous quote about doing what makes you come alive. Don't askwhat the world needs, ask what makes you come alive because the world needs people who'vecome alive, meaning like pursue your passion and that will lead to success, whatever successmeans. It's the way we define success as well is also part of the problem.
朱莉婭:有關(guān)“做那些讓你感覺到活得有意義的事情”有很多名言。不要問世界需要什么,要問什么使你活得精彩,因為世界需要活得精彩的人,意思就是要追尋你的激情,這會帶領(lǐng)你成功,無論成功意味著什么。這是我們對成功的定義,同時這也是個問題。
Todd: True, true.
托德:對,沒錯。
Julia: You know, high income, is that success? And in my book that's not what success is.Success is happiness.
朱莉婭:高收入就代表成功嗎?在我看的書里,那并不是成功。成功是幸福。
Todd: So what is happiness?
托德:那什么是幸福?
Julia: Happiness is just contentment, absolute peace with the way you are right now and whatyou're doing right now. Not striving or yearning for things that are beyond your grasp.
朱莉婭:幸福就是知足,對你現(xiàn)在的狀態(tài)和你現(xiàn)在所做的事情保持的平和。不要爭取或渴望那些不在你掌控范圍內(nèi)的事情。
Todd: Beyond your reach?
托德:超出你能力的事情?
Julia: Yeah.
朱莉婭:對。
Todd: Yeah, that's good.
托德:對,這很好。
