　　2.Traditional beliefs do not in themselves explain the lingering prevalence of outdated concepts in China.
　　傳統(tǒng)信仰本身不能解釋過時觀念為何仍然在中國普遍存在。
　　3.Some lay the blame for falling exports squarely on financial turmoil sweeping many Asian countries.The fact of the matter is, however, that proportionate blame should be assigned to the lackadaisical approach to developing new markets, failure to improve product quality and government inaction in the realm of support.
　　有的人干脆認(rèn)為造成出口下降的原因是橫掃亞洲許多國家的金融危機。然而，事實是一部分原因應(yīng)歸結(jié)為開拓新市場的不得力的方法、改進(jìn)產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量的失敗以及政府沒有表示支持的行動。
　　4.We often ignore the real problem and instead search for a needle in a haystack.Solving problems of any kind requires one to adopt a direct approach which addresses all relevant issues.
　　我們經(jīng)常忽略實際問題，而是大海撈針。解決任何類型的問題都需要一個人采取直接的辦法處理所有相關(guān)事情。
　　5.Claiming a lack of opportunities is nothing more than a superficial excuse for justifying failure.The fundamental reason for failure is most often the lack of drive on the part of the individual involved.
　　聲稱缺少機會不過是敷衍失敗的借口。通常，失敗比較根本的原因是相關(guān)的個人本身缺乏動力。

　　8.The deep impact of opening to the outside world is readily discernible in a number of areas:the adoption of many Western habits, both good and bad; changing social and moral values; the trend towards individualism; and the introduction of state-of-the-art concepts and technology.The key to adopting Western way centers on accepting the good and rejecting the bad.
　　對外開放的深刻影響在許多方面都能看到：模仿西方的習(xí)慣，包括好的和壞的；改變社會和道德價值觀；個人主義的趨勢；引進(jìn)已發(fā)展的概念和技術(shù)。采取西方方式的關(guān)鍵在于取其精華，去其糟粕。

　　所謂信息時代的來臨無疑將深刻地影響我們的生活。手頭的任務(wù)主要是利用技術(shù)達(dá)到有意的目的，同時，防止侵犯隱私或者出于欺騙的目的利用電子高速路。
