I often wondered my ancestry14. I knew that my angular face and large eyes came from my father's Spanish ancerstors. But what did they do for a living?

My father, who is very animated, would try to satisfy my curiosity by telling me funny anecdotes15 about his father and grandfather. His stories were often intriguing16, but the information I wanted had to be more than anecdotal. So one day, I went to the library and searched through the annals of Spanish history.

I found a good book that thoroughtly analyzed17 the relevant time period and amplified18 its analysis with charts and illustrations. In it, I discovered several interesting historical figures who shared my surname, Sierra.

One was an anarchist. He worte books in which he expressed his belief and society in the rural areas should be allowed to exist without a government. He believed that the government was purposely creating a fear of anarchy merely to justify19 its first taxes on rural area farmars.

Another Sierra is a Doctor of anatomy. He was credited fot inventing the first anesthetic. The anesthesia allowed him to operate on his patients without causing pain.

The most interesting Sierra was a former high-ranking official who worked in an ancillary department of the central Spanish government. He spent most of his life protecting the Spanish military's efforts to annihilate and annex samller and weaker countries overseas. From the government's point of view, his protests were analogous to treason, and they sentenced him to a life of auguish in prison.

From this research, I was able to see many analogies between the characteristics of my ancestors and my own personality. It made me feel very proud to be a Sierra!

我時常對我的祖先們很好奇。我知道自己棱角分明的臉和一雙大眼睛來著父親的西班牙祖先。但他們到底是做什么工作來維持生活的呢?

我那天性活潑的父親常常說些關于他父親和祖父的趣聞軼事來滿足我的好奇心。他講的故事大多很有意思，但我需要的不僅僅是軼事風格的信息。于是有一天，我去了家圖書館，搜尋關于西班牙歷史的記載。

我找到一本透徹分析相關年代的好書，書中附有多種圖表，從而對其所作的分析做了更為詳盡的闡述。在這本書里，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了幾位有趣的歷史人物，他們與我同姓，都叫席埃拉。

有一位席埃拉是名無政府主義者。在他的著作中，農(nóng)村社會可以以無政府狀態(tài)存在的觀念。他認為政府故意引起人們對無政府主義的恐懼，不過是為了證明政府向農(nóng)民征收重稅有理。

另一位席埃拉是名解剖學博士。他被譽為發(fā)明麻醉藥的第一人。在麻醉作用下，他可以為病無痛做手術。

最轟轟烈烈的席埃拉是一位曾在西班牙中央政府輔助部門工作的高層官員。他一生中大半時間都在抗議西班牙滅亡和吞并海外弱小國家的軍事行徑。從政府角度看，他的抗議罪等同叛國，于是他被判入獄，過著生不如死的痛苦生活。

從這次研究中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我得性格同我的祖先有許多相似之處。我很驕傲我是個席埃拉!

Good morning everyone. I'd like to make a new remarks. Let me start by saying, I think the merger14 is a good idea. If we amalgamate our two businesses, we can creat a more powerful one. With our increased size and financial power, we can amass new investors15 and raise ample funds to renovate16 the old hotel. We can attracts more guests by adding amenities, like a swimming pool, and planting more greenery to creat a peaceful ambience. To make it ever more special, we can build a special walkway that will allow people to amble amid the trees. The result of our ambitious project will amaze the community.

After we finish the renovations, we can take photos and post them on our Internet site. My brother is an amateur photographer and a very amenable individual. I'm sure he won't charge us for taking photos, as long as we keep the amount of photos down to a reasonable number.

then, before openning the hotel, we'll need to hire and train a new staff of amicable people. We don't want anyone who is ambivalent towards the concept of "personal services'. Such ambivalence is bad for business. We want people who are hardworking and amiable. We'll also need a manager who has enough ambition to keep the hotel running efficiently17.

Okay. Thoes of you suffering from temporary amnesia, recall that we must vote to amend the company's by-laws before we can initiate18 the merger of our two companies. So let's vote. Everyone in favor of the amendment, say "aye!"

諸位早上好，我來說幾句。首先， 我認為合并是件好事。如果將我們兩家小企業(yè)合并起來，就能創(chuàng)造出一個實力更為雄厚的大企業(yè)。隨著企業(yè)規(guī)模的擴大和資金力量的增強，我們將征集新的投資者，籌集到足夠的資金，將我們的飯店整修一新。為了吸引更多的客人，我們還有添置游泳池等娛樂設施，多種花草樹木，營造出一個安靜祥和的氛圍。為了讓飯店變得更為獨特，我們可以在樹林里修一條走道，這樣客人就能在林中漫步了。這一雄心勃勃的項目定能創(chuàng)造出令世人驚嘆的成果。

整修完畢后，我們可以拍些照片放到網(wǎng)上。我哥哥是名業(yè)余的攝影師，又是個言聽計從的人。我相信他一定會為我們免費拍照，只要照片數(shù)量合理就行。

然后，在開放新飯店之前，我們需要召集一些有善的新員工，并對其進行培訓。我們不會聘用任何對“個人服務”這一概念持矛盾態(tài)度的人，因為這種矛盾態(tài)度對飯店經(jīng)營不利。我們需要既勤勞又和氣的人。我們還需要一位經(jīng)理，他應該有足夠的雄心壯志，使飯店高效運作。

好了，那些患暫時性健忘的人要記住再兩家企業(yè)搞合并之前，我們必須要以投票方式修改公司章程，所以現(xiàn)在進行表決。所有贊成修改章程的，請說“贊成”!

Yesterday, I decided12 to get my pants altered. I had $200 in my wallet, which was more than enough for the alteration. Foolishly however, I got lost taking an alternate route to the tailor shop. Fortunately, I had aspirin13 to alleviate my headache.

Walking further, I noticed a red balloon aloft, rising to the higher altitude. It distracted me, causing me to bump into two young brothers. They look alike but seemed opposite in personality. One was clearly aloof but the other appeared to be an altruistic individual. He could sense I was lost and happily gave me directions. Such altruism is so rare there days. What an ally he can be to a lost person! The contrast in their personalities14 reminded me of the biblical allegory of Cain and Abel. But it would be too hasty to allege such a contrast given that I didn't really know them.

I continued on my way but was allured15 into a bike shop by a windown photo of a lovely girl on a mountain bike. Below the photo, it said, "ride rough, ride real," a clever alliteration. I felt there was no alternative but to enter the shop.

The ower was an alumnus from my university. He alluded16 that the best bike for me would be the $200 bike that was displayed in the window photo. It was made out of a special lightweight alloy. He also offered to adjust my tire alignment for free.

Well, I didn't make it to the tailor that day. But I did ride home on a new bike. As for my pants? Well, the bike shop owner cut the pant legs off for free. Now I have a cool pair of shorts for riding.

昨天，我決定去裁縫店改褲子。我錢包里有200美金，改條褲子是綽綽有余了。但我在另選路線去裁縫鋪時竟傻巴拉嘰的迷路了。幸好我?guī)е⑺酒チ?，頭痛才得以減輕。

往前走不遠，我注意到一只紅氣球飄在空中，它越飛越高。我盯著氣球出神，不小心跟兩個小兄弟撞了個滿懷。他們長的很像，但性格迥異：一位是明顯的不關心，另一位看起來則是個利他主義者。他能感到我迷路了，便欣然為我指路。這種利他主義現(xiàn)在實屬罕見。對一位迷途者而言，他可謂盟友了!二人性格的反差讓我想起來《圣經(jīng)》里該隱和亞伯的寓言。不過，我并不真正了解他們，所以當下斷言二人性格如該隱和亞伯那般迥異未免過于草率。

我繼續(xù)往前走，不一會兒，我在一家自行車商店的櫥窗里看見一張騎山地車的美女照片。在照片的誘惑下，我走進了這家商店。照片下有一行字：“騎山地才是真我體驗。”很聰明的押頭韻嘛。我覺得除了走進商店外無別的選擇。

店主是我所在大學的校友。他暗示到，最適合我的自行車就是櫥窗照片上價值200美元的那輛。它用一種特殊的輕型合金制成。他還提出為我免費調(diào)整輪胎，使之成直線排列。

這樣一來，那天我就沒能去成裁縫店。不過，我確實騎著一輛嶄新的自行車回家。至于我得褲子嘛，自行車店的店主免費幫我剪短了?，F(xiàn)在我就有了一條騎車時的酷酷短褲啦!

Life as a newspaper reporter can be aggravating. Every morning at 5 a.m. , there's a staff meeting where the managing editor goes through his agenda for the day. He's not at all agreeable in the morning. In fact, he's akin to a grouchy13 bear. Oh does he love to agitate us! I drink coffee to calm my nerves but sometimes it just aggravates14 my stomach.

"Jim, you'll be covering the recent acts of aggression in the Middle East. We can't afford to ignore this important development. You need to be airborne and on your way to the Middle East within the hour."

"Jane, come in here, you're late. Don't leave the door ajar, this is a private meeting. I need you to get a copy of that new alien alert from the Immigration Department. The aggregate number of aliens in this country is growing, but it seems to me that such an alert will only serve to alienate our own minority groups.'

"Sam, you're the most agile of us all. Use your agility to catch up with the world-class runners who are in town for maraton. Come on Sam, don't agonize your assignment, just do it. "

"Mary, the children in Central Africa are afflicted15 with an unknown disease. It's not just an ailment. It's something far more serious. Hey, stop looking so aghast, you don't need go there. Just find out the source of the affliction and write a report on it by this afternoon. By the way, I think you should quit drinking coffee, it does nothing to calm your nerves! "

報社記者的生活時常相當惱人。每天早上五點有一次全體員工會議，會上主編會一一講述當天的日程安排。早上的主編根本談不上和藹可親。 實際上，他就像頭愛發(fā)脾氣的狗熊。噢，他偏偏要弄得我們狂躁不安!我喝點咖啡以鎮(zhèn)靜神經(jīng)，但有時咖啡又會加劇我的胃痛。

“吉姆，你去報道最近在中東發(fā)生的侵略行為。我們可擔不起錯過這一重大進展的后果。一小時以內(nèi)你必須坐上飛往中東的飛機。”

“進來，簡，你遲到了。別開著門，這是私人會議。我要你從移民局搞一份最新的外僑警報。這個國家的外僑總?cè)藬?shù)不斷增長，但我看這種警報只會疏遠本地的少數(shù)群體。”

“山姆，你是我們所有人當中最靈敏的。運用你的靈敏勁去報道城里世界級馬拉松參賽選手的最新情況。好了，山姆，用不著為這點任務弄得痛苦不堪，就動手干吧?！?/p>

“瑪麗，中非兒童正經(jīng)受不明病癥的折磨。那還不是小病小恙，而是很嚴重的某種疾病。喂，你別目瞪口呆的，你又不用去中非。你只需找出痛苦的原由，然后在今天下午前寫一篇報道就行了。對了，我想你該戒掉喝咖啡的習慣，咖啡根本不能鎮(zhèn)靜你的神經(jīng)?！?/p>

哎，我想我得去干活了。我能舍得辭去這份好工作嗎?今天可不行。
