38、只有问他们来自哪里,我们可以解开背后的逻辑成功,谁不。”this is the basic idea of an intriguing book called outliers, by the american journalist malcolm gladwell. the book explores the factorswhich contribute to people who are extremely successful in their careers,for example, the role that family, culture, and friendship play

39、.这是一本有趣的书的基本思想称为离群值,由美国记者马尔科姆格拉德威尔。这本书探讨了因素造成非常成功的人在他们的职业生涯,例如,角色,家庭,文化,和友谊比赛。 gladwell examines the causes of why the majority of canadian ice hockey players are born in the first few months of the calendar year, whatthe founder of microsoft bill gates did to achieve his extraordinarysuccess, and w

40、hy the beatles managed to redefine the whole of popularmusic in the 1960s.格拉德威尔检查的原因为什么大多数加拿大冰曲棍球运动员出生最初几个月的日历年,什么微软的创始人比尔盖茨(bill gates)来实现他的与众不同成功,为什么甲壳虫乐队设法重新定义整个流行在1960年代的音乐。 gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in canada recruits from january the first, so that players born early in

41、the year arebigger, stronger and better athletes than others born later in the year. and because they have this advantage at the start of their sports career, theyre given extra coaching, and so theres a greater chance that theyll be pickedfor an elite hockey team in the future.格拉德威尔指出,青年在加拿大冰球联盟成员从

42、1月第一,所以玩家在年初出生比其他的更大、更强、更好的运动员在今年晚些时候出生的。和因为他们有这种优势在他们的运动生涯,他们获得额外的辅导,所以有更大的机会,他们会选择在未来的精英曲棍球队。 he calls this phenomenon accumulative advantage, a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and poor get pooer. success depends on the processby which talented athletes are identified as much as it does

43、 on their own abilities.他称这一现象累计优势,有点像这个想法富者更富,穷人得到订单。成功取决于这一过程有才华的运动员被确定为它自己的能力。 another aspect which contributes to success is the 10,000 hour rule. great success demands an enormous amount of time for practice and training. for example, the beatles performed live in hamvurg germany more than 1,20

44、0 times over four years, much more than the 10,000 hours gladwell claims is necessary for great success. so by the time they returned to england, they had developed their talent and sounded completely different from any other group.导致成功的另一个方面是10000小时的规则。成功需要大量的时间和练习培训。例如,披头士在hamvurg德国表现生活1200倍以上的四年里

45、,远远超过10000小时格拉德威尔声称对于成功是必要的。所以他们回到英国的时候,他们已经开发了人才和听起来完全不同于其他组。 in the same way , bill gates had thousands of hours worth of programming because he had access to a computer at his high school. he also became a teenager just at the right time to take advantage of the latest developments in computer te

46、chnology.同样的,比尔盖茨有数千小时的编程,因为他使用电脑在他的高中。他也成为了一个少年只是在正确的时间利用计算机技术的最新发展。 all through the book, gladwell repeats his claim that its not just talent or genius which determines someones success, but opportunity, advantage and even simple good luck.通过这本书,格拉德威尔重复他说不仅仅是天赋还是天才决定一个人的成功,但机会,优势,甚至简单的好运。 outliers

47、 has met with extraordinary success, matched only by gladwells own career over 25 years in journalism. as a result, many critics have seen it as an autobiography, in which the writer appears to be apologizing for his own personal achievements. but the idea that you have to be born at the right momen

48、t, in the right place and in the right family, and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great achievement. its certainly worth reading, as long as you dont take it too seriously.离群值已经取得了非凡的成功,只有格拉德威尔的新闻职业生涯超过25年。因此,许多批评人士将其视为一个

49、自传,道歉的作家似乎为自己的个人成就。但是你必须出生在正确的时机、正确的地点和正确的家庭,然后你必须要努力工作是一个发人深省的方式重新审视我们的传统观点的天才和伟大的成就。的确值得一读,只要你不要把它太当回事。passage2presenter : hi were talking about typical working hours in the us and in brazil. ericum youre from the states, tell me what are the typical working hours in the states?嗨,我们讨论的是典型的工作时间在美国和
