121. A question begging an answer centers on whether violence is more directly related to the innate characteristic of human being, or whether it is simply a manifestation of the ills of society. Determining the answer will be far from an easy proposition, but is nonetheless one that deserves careful and deliberate consideration. 【译文】需要回答的一个问题是:暴力与人类的天性联系更直接还是仅仅是社会恶习的体现?做出回答远非易事,而是值得仔细而审慎地考虑的事情。 122. From the standpoint of success, a good work ethic is no less important than an education. Success does, in fact, depend on the total integration of both aspects. 【译文】从成功的角度来说,良好的职业道德与教育同等重要。事实上,成功的确建立在两方面完全融合的基础上。 123. The growing trend for wives to work outside the home even when their husbands are present and employed is in part a sharing of the financial burden with the husband, and in part a reflection of the need these women feel to have a measurable sense of personal worth. 越来越多的妻子到外面工作,甚至和她们的丈夫再一起工作,一方面是为了和丈夫共同承担经济重担,一方面反映了女性感到需要有可衡量的个人价值。 124. Just as honor is a prerequisite for respectability, so is unblemished character a barometer of integrity. 正如声誉是可敬的前提条件,无暇疵的品格是正直的晴雨表。 ------------------------------------------- |
