作為雅思考生,我們讀外刊要有一定的目的性,不僅,僅是為了擴大我們的閱讀面,還要有意識地針對雅思考試,提高自己的水平。本文的話,我們做了一些注釋,主要幫助大家習得雅思口語,寫作的知識。
As in the art world,so too in the world of work. Almost every career trajectory entails a complex sequence of steps, each of which depends on those preceding it. If any of those earlier steps had been different, the entire trajectory would almost surely have been different, too.
職場和藝術界是一樣的。幾乎每個人的事業軌跡都是由一系列復雜的步驟組成,其中的每一步都取決于前面邁出了什么樣的步伐。如果早前的步伐中有任何一步是另外一個樣子,幾乎可以肯定,整個軌跡也會因之不同。

Inevitably, some of those initial steps will have been influenced by seemingly trivial random events. So it is reasonable to conclude that virtually all successful careers entail at least a modicum of luck.
而在最初的步伐中,有些不可避免地會受到看似微不足道的偶然事件的影響。所以我們可以得出這樣一個合理的結論:基本上所有成功的職業生涯至少都包含些許的運氣成分。

One’s date of birth can matter enormously, for example. According to a 2008 study, most children born in the summer tend to be among the youngest members of their class at school, which appears to explain why they are significantly less likely to hold leadership positions during high school and thus, another study indicates, less likely to land premium jobs later in life.Similarly, according to research published in the journal Economics Letters in 2012, the number of American chief executives who were born in June and July is almost one-third lower than would be expected on the basis of chance alone.
比如,一個人的出生日期就可以產生非常大的影響。2008年的一項研究顯示,大多數出生在夏天的孩子往往是班上最小的學生,而這似乎解釋了為何他們在很大程度上不太可能在高中期間擔任領導角色,因此就像另一項研究顯示的,也就不太可能在以后的生活中獲得優質工作。2012年刊登于《經濟學快報》雜志(Economics Letters)的一項研究也顯示,出生在6月和7月的美國企業首席執行官比單就概率計算應該出現的人數少了將近三分之一。
