　　四、英译汉

　　Powering the great ongoing changes of our time is the rise of human creativity as the defining feature of economic life. Creativity has come to be valued, because new technologies, new industries and new wealth flow from it. And as a result, our lives and society have begun to echo with creative ideas. It is our commitment to creativity in its varied dimensions that forms the underlying spirit of our age.

　　Creativity is essential to the way we live and work today, and in many senses always has been. The big advances in standard of living---not to mention the big competitive advantages in the marketplace---always have come from "better recipes, not just more cooking." One might argue that's not strictly true. One might point out, for instance, that during the long period from the early days on the Industrial Revolution to modern times, much of the growth in productivity and material wealth in the industrial nations came not just from creative inventions like the steam engine, but from the widespread application of "cooking in quantity" business methods like massive division of labor, concentration of assets, vertical integration and economies of scale. But those methods themselves were creative developments.

　　正确答案：人类的创造力是经济生活的显著特征，它是推动我们当代正在发生的巨大变化的源动力。创造力已开始受到重视，因为各种新技术、新产业和新财富都源源不断随之产生。其结果是我们的生活和社会中充满了创造性思想。正是我们在多方面对创造力的追求构成了当今社会的精神基础。

　　创造力对我们当今的生活和工作方式至关重要，而且从各种意义上来说，一向如此。生活水平的显著提高——更不用说市场经济的强大竞争优势，总是源于“更好的烹饪法，而不是更多的烹制品”。也许有人会认为这种说法不一定严谨。比如他会指出，从最初的工业革命到现代社会这一漫长的时期内，工业化国家生产力的提高和物质财富的积累，在很大程度上不仅仅是来自诸如蒸汽机之类的发明创造，而且也是来自“大量烹制”式的企业管理方法的广泛应用，如大规模的劳动力分工、资产的集中、纵向整合以及规模经济等。但是其实这些方法本身就是创新。

　　正确答案： The picture shows three kinds of college graduates who are not welcomed by the job market. First, some graduating students choose only big cities to work in and refuse to go down to the grassroots units. Second, some have unrealistic expectations of salaries but their poor practical ability is not a good match. Third, some fake resumes to impress the would-be employers, but in fact lack the qualities and skills required for the jobs they seek.

　　Nowadays, the growing number of college graduates is aggravating competitions in the labor market; however, some subjective factors have a bigger impact on the situation that many students find it increasingly difficult to get a rewarding job. As is revealed in the picture, some college graduates fail to adapt themselves to the demand of the job market.

　　In order to be a successful employee, a fresh graduate should keep his eyes and mind open for challenges and opportunities. Building solid foundation and having hands-on experiences are essentially important. Therefore, it seems unrealistic to expect a high salary from the very start. Besides, certificates cannot speak everything, while the key question is how you can prove yourself being excellent. Moreover, according to a survey, the most important personal characteristic employers seek is honesty. In a word, it is imperative for the graduates to build a proper and healthy mind-set before entering society.
