6小时掌握学英语的秘诀！――点击看答案 专治男女记不住单词的秘密
一个练口语的经典方法
哈佛独创,不用看,不用记,只需听 只需30天,让你说一口流利英语
今天感到心情不太好, 因为我们的小组报告下午五点前就要交上去, 可是临交时仍然存在很多问题, 最后没办法, 为了不错过时间, 就算知道里面仍然有些问题, 我们还是把它交了上去.
这两份报告是整整用了七周的时间慢慢磨出来的. 交上去以后, 我没有之前想像的那样兴奋, 而是感到异常的失落与空虚. 和桂花通完最后一个电话后, 我对着电脑的屏幕, 有一种欲哭无泪的伤痛. 桂花和我说, 她担心我们这门课会挂了. 我当时安慰她说挂应该不太可能, 但是我们这门课应该拿不到好分数了. 暂且放下这些作业不说, 单是之前我就和老师关于组员的分配发生过矛盾, 后来桂花问她关于那个SPSS软件的使用又留给她不好的印象. 然而我嘴里安慰别人, 可是当我一个人独处时, 我却比谁都担心. 不过现在一切已成定局, 我也只能听天由命了.
本来现在我应该在写着最后一份大作业的, 可是我怎么也静不下心来. 回顾着我们这么长时间的小组工作, 我有很多感想. 我觉得非常有必要在这里, 通过日记的方式, 来重新审视自己. 小组工作没有做好, 我觉得我没有资格埋怨别人. 而且与其现在说谁没有做好, 倒不如想想自己哪里没做好更实际. 别人没做好是别人的事, 虽然说会影响到整个小组的工作, 可是将来到了社会, 是和你没关系的. 真正和你切身相关的, 是你的能力与不足.
首先第一个我需要反省的是自己的学习心态. 有一个同学曾经评论过我, 说我越是不喜欢的东西, 就越抗拒, 最后就越不懂, 然后就更加不喜欢, 形成一种恶性循环. 比如说这次使用SPSS软件, 本身我就对这些电脑操作性的东西很厌恶, 而这个软件又是新东西, 所以我就是不想去接触. 要不是桂花硬逼着我去了解, 并且一直讲解给我听, 我到现在仍然一无所知. 我现在发现这是一个非常严重的问题! 我记得以前我们有些课, 比如说商业银行经营管理, 老师有要求我们去一个模拟银行系统进行业务操作的. 然而我由于讨厌这些东西, 居然叫舍友帮我做完了. 当时很多同学说做那个系统没用的, 和实际不沾边, 做了也等于白做. 于是我就想, 与其做一个没用的系统, 倒不如去学英语. 现在想想, 那种做法真的是大错特错! 有时有些东西, 你去做了可能对实际没有帮助, 但是却可以锻炼你一种能力. 我想要是所有的关于网上系统的业务我都认真去做了, 我对SPSS软件就不会这么怕, 更不会这么抗拒. 我以前特别佩服我的舍友, 比如说梁石和伟雄, 做些那些系统业务来很快上手. 可是我从来没有想过为什么别人这么快上手而我却这么慢. 我一直把自己的低效率归因为自己在电脑操作上没有天赋. 现在想起来, 一个大学生居然还会有这种想法, 真的有点愚不可及!要想提高自己的能力, 我必须要彻底改变我的心态, 我不能再让自己这样下去, 否则哪一天我就栽在这个节骨眼上了!
第二点我要反省是的自己的团队协调和组织能力. 在这两个大project里面, 我知道我是做得很失败的. 虽然这其中有project以及组员们的客观原因, 但是我要承担很大的责任. 首先我没有比大家更加全面地去了解我们要做的东西. 作为一个team leader, 你必须要比任何人了解要做什么, 并且要非常明确项目的方向以及任务的分配与协调. 然而我没有做好, 我只是和大家一样, 都感到一知半解, 以致我们完成的进度远远落后于其他的小组. 我想如果我当初真的肯下苦功把一切事先弄清楚, 后面就不会这样. 最明显的可以体现我协调的失败的现象是: 开小组会时很多组员不知道自己要干什么!! 虽然我和其中一个组员在研究那个系统, 可是别的组员呢? 他们来了可以干什么? 我没有很好地分配好任务给他们. 我以前从来没有遇到过这么尴尬的情况, 这次我总算是受教了. 我想要是以后在工作中也这样, 我不被上司批死才怪, 弄不好还可能丢了饭碗!
第三是, 我没有充分利用组员的才能. 我最大的优点是对于问题反应很快, 也可以想出很多idea, 写作能力也挺强(在中国学生眼中), 所以总是想自己承担大部分的工作, 特别是自己胸有成竹的时候. 可是这从另一方面来讲, 也是我最大的缺陷. 因为我自己很有见解, 所以往往会很容易排斥别人的看法, 特别如果最后决定权在我手里的时候, 我经常觉得别人提的意见有问题, 而不会再三思考它的价值. 另外更重要的是, 我并没有很好地引导我们的组员去思考某些问题. 当我发现组员搜集给我的资料没有什么用时, 我就宁愿自己把他们的工作也做完, 从搜资料到写报告, 全部一手包办. 小组工作最后几乎变成了个人工作. 我不否认在这个过程中我会到很多东西, 但是与此同时, 我也失去了很多. 当组员找的东西不是我想要的时候, 我为什么不思考一下为什么他们找不到合适的资料? 很关键的一点是他们可能还没弄清楚我们的工作究竟具体要做什么, 他们只是有一个大概的了解, 所以只能盲目地找资料. 如果当时我可以和他们讲清楚我们要找的东西究竟是怎样的, 或许他们就会找到我想要的东西. 另外, 就算我写作比较好, 最后的报告由我来完稿, 我也不应该让其他组员闲着, 让他们等我写完. 我应该把任务分配下去, 让他们每人写一部分. 尽管最后他们写的东西可能我不会用到, 但是这也起码给了他们一个锻炼, 让他们更好地了解我们究竟正在干什么, 而不会在presentation的当天, 才解释给他们听我们都干了什么. 想想整个过程, 我自以为自己很能干, 可以做很多事情, 就包办了很多, 结果到头来自己累死不说, 还落得一个失败的下场. 我能不自省吗?
回想起整个学期的学习过程, 我觉得哭笑不得. 说差吧, 好像也不是自己想的那么差; 说好吧, 好像也好不到哪去. 来了爱尔兰以后, 我有一种被打入冷宫的感觉, 再也没有在深大的优越感. 一切仿佛都变了, 变得那么陌生. 自己曾经擅长的, 来了这里发现别人更擅长, 比如说外语; 自己不懂的, 好像别人都懂, 自己成了白痴. 前几天和两个同学在学校的canteen吃午饭, 他们一个是来自德国的, 一个是来自捷克斯洛伐克的. 交谈中发现, 那个捷克斯洛伐克的同学GMAT居然考了780分(总分800), 着实让我吃惊! 之前看过他写的一篇东西, 就发现, 虽然他母语也不是英语, 可是水平却很高. 从那时起我就明白我前面的路, 如果要走好的话, 会走得多么的艰辛! 是的, 我不甘心, 不甘心得过且过的日子!
新的一年快要到来了, 等十二月一过, 我真正学习的时间大概就只有七个月左右了. 经过今天的反省, 我很明白这七个月的学习时间对我来讲有多重要! 我也很清楚接下来的日子自己要做些什么! 每当我想起自己的目标, 再看看自己的现状, 我就觉得很惭愧. 不过我相信, 一切都会好起来的, 只要我坚持到底!
Preparing for the Negotiation Report
作者: 爱尔兰都柏林大学 赖小琪
Preparing for this negotiation report is challenging as well as interesting and enlightening. We began our first group meeting at the end of the sixth week and discussed how to accomplish this project satisfactorily.
First of all, we had to select a real negotiation case. According to the group project assignment details, we avoided selecting those negotiations involving multiple parties. We were merely searching for the two-party negotiations. As we had access to sufficient amount of information about the Lenovo-IBM PC Division acquisition, we decided to build upon it and chose to analyze and discuss this case as our project.
However, there were other reasons for choosing this particular case:
(1) The case we studied had better be well-known to most people, so that the viewers of our report could easily understand the content of our negotiation and search for more information conveniently if they need references.
(2) As the case we selected was well-known, it is also easier for us to search as much additional data as possible.
(3)As one of our teammates had previously done relevant studies on this case in his bachelor’s thesis, so he has a sound understanding of the whole acquisition process that can facilitate our work. Based on these three reasons, we chose the case mentioned above. And we decided to represent Lenovo to negotiate with IBM
After settling the case selection, we moved on to outline the framework of our report and further look into the data we found in order to identify the issues that will be negotiated in this case. After identifying these key issues, with the data we had found, we discuss the possible situations or conditions that would come out in the course of negotiating each issue and work out the strategies we would like to use to negotiate. We firstly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both parties. After, we created possible scenarios of what the other party would ask from us and how they would respond to our requirements based on the information we had. Further, the assessment of areas and issues where we will most probably have to make a compromise and where we could stick to our initial request or even ask for more was conducted. Hereby we also refer to comments made by some authoritative experts about the final result of this acquisition, to see which aspects we could further improve to make the acquisition more successful.
In the preparation phase, one of the key issues we analyzed were the major cultural differences between parties, which we believe have a strong impact not only on the final success of the negotiation, but also on the process itself. Here we argue that not being aware of the cultural specifics and customs of the other party, prejudices and ethnocentrism may create major obstacles for successful communication. There are several cultural aspects that have to be taken into account:
1) Individualism versus collectivism
? individualism Cindependent behavior, self confidence, not afraid to have an opinion, win-lose strategy (IBM as an American company will probably want to adapt this approach as it stems from the American culture and negotiations characteristics that will be further explained)
? collectivism C the appearance of individuals is humble, win-win strategy (Lenovo)
2) Verbal and non verbal communication
? high C context culture - implicit, unpleasant information said indirectly (America)
? low C context culture C explicit (Asian countries)
? non - verbal communication C gesticulation, interpersonal distance, mimics, body language
? mostly the problem of punctuality
4) Personal relationship
? in some cultures, form and structure of the speech is more important than the content itself (particularly Asian countries)
5) Norms and values
? differences in perception of moral standards and good manners
6) Religion and positions
? politics and religion are not suitable topics of conversation
7) Logical thinking versus intuition
? very important is trust (not only trustworthiness of the individuals but the firm as whole)
8) Working customs
? hierarchical organizational form, or emphasis on participation and team work
The negotiator is the key figure of the whole negotiation process and has to be selected very carefully. Here we list several skills and characteristics of the negotiator we perceive necessary:
? Patience C This includes mainly active listening and letting
in Asian countries, the negotiation is based on personal trust, very important is the introduction phase, sometimes and holding techniques
? Persistence C Particularly important because of the power differences between the negotiating parties. Representing Lenovo, we will not make concessions right away, won’t take the first offer and try not to get distracted by disapproval or disagreement
? Determination and persuasiveness
? Empathy C Consideration of the views, needs and interest asking question “How would I act, being in the other party’s shoes?” is a core part of our negotiation preparation
? Ability to sense and use the power C It is necessary to avoid the misuse of power, especially when in situation of a long-term partnership or relationship. This issue is considered mainly because of the repetitive character of the negotiation with IBM
? Analytical thinking C At the beginning of our preparation, we have put high emphasis on analyzing our and partner’s position, assessing strength and weaknesses/advantages and disadvantages (both IBM and Lenovo), stating which points are important for us and what issues are important for IBM; we have also dealt with question “Should we start with the most tough issues right away or go with the easier first?”
? Self control, courtesy and tact
? Ambitious C The higher our goal is set, the more su however, if we call too high, we might appear un- if too low, we will not achieve our limit/reservation point
? Communicational skills C Because the negotiation is multi-cultural, it is important to recognize what the other party expects and try to fulfill it
? Cultural sensibility C Being open, tolerate other culture’s aspects and sometimes even adapt might secure pleasant negotiation with positive outcomes and create more value
Other issues we have deeply dealt with were the characteristics of the negotiation process and how they should be manage throughout the whole process. First, every negotiation is characterized by contradictory interests of the parties. Because this occurs regularly, we need to try to find a way how to overcome them. This could be done by identifying and stressing common interests (for example long term cooperation and relationship) that could even be repeated in situation of crisis, supported by the identification and setting of a common goal - reaching of the agreement in our negotiation case. We have to try to prevent the situation when one of the parties feels not satisfied or ?defeated“ as it may strongly affect the future relationship. Another important characteristic of every negotiation is a need for reciprocal concessions. Otherwise asymmetry of the positions will be created and will result in win-lose negotiation outcome. Necessary is therefore honest information sharing. However, it needs to be careful, step by step and reciprocical. In the end, one of the core parts is also the necessity of risk taking. This can be avoided by well and deep preparation, information verification and comparison.

译者:　爱尔兰都柏林大学　赖小琪
这里是一个风景优美的小镇子，因为它的风景而吸引来了许多的富人在这里居住，不过当然不是长久地住在这里，而是每逢休假日就就来住一两月，放松放松。
It was a small town with fantastic landscapes that attracted a wealth of the rich to live in it. But they were not living for long. The rich people would come to the town for one or two months during their vacations and relaxed themselves.
小明也是被吸引过来的，不过他没什么钱，没有固定收入，他到这个镇子里后，就租了一个廉租房。他正是看准了了这小镇里富人多的特点才来的，他的工作就是卖手机，不是真真正正的手机，而是假手机，花上十几元，就可以制造出一部貌似功能很好很强大的手机，运气差时能赚几百，运气好时一部就赚几千――这里面住的都是富人嘛，就算发现是假的，也不会在意，谁在乎这几千几百的？
Ming was also attracted by the scenic spots to the town. But he had little money and did not have a permanent income, so he rented a cheap house after he arrived. But what drew his attention most here was those wealthy people. His job was to sell cell phones. But they were not “real” phones. They were indeed counterfeits that could model the real ones which had comprehensive and great functions with the cost of no more than 20 yuan. If he met his less lucky day, he could earn at least several hundred yuan, while several thousand yuan if he met his lucky day. As those buyers were very well-off, they would not care about the money even though they discovered the phones to be fake later.
这日，小明的口袋又空啦！就又打起歪脑筋来，正巧，上次还余下一部假手机，心里一阵狂喜，装着手机就走了。路上行人人来人往，叫小明看得眼花缭乱，但很快他就选好了目标――一个身着一件旧夹克，看似很有钱的中年男子。小明围上去，堆上职业性的笑容，说：“大哥……” 男子似乎很警觉，说：“干什么？”
One day, Ming’s pocket was empty again and wanted to earn money with his tricks. Luckily, there was still a fake phone in his pocket to sell, which made him terrifically pleased. He took the phone with him in the street where a crow of people were coming and going that made his eyes spin. But soon enough, he spotted a target, a seemingly wealthy middle-aged man in an old jacket. Ming came up to him and smiled politely, saying, “Hey, friend…….” But the man was very alert and asked, “What’s up?”
小明对这类人司空见惯了――越富有，就越警觉，也越好被骗。于是立刻说：“大哥啊，我是个推销手机的，”说着，将口袋里的手机掏出来，继续说：“我这里有部手机，原价五千，现在卖您三千……” 男子似乎毫不理他，转身就想走，小明立刻堵住他的路：“这样吧，两千……”男子见小明堵住他的路，顿时发起了大火，喝道：“你想干什么？”
Ming was quite acquainted with the man’s reaction―the richer a man was, the more alert he would be, and the easier it was to cheat him. So Ming said to him immediately, “Friend, I have a phone with me. I bought it at 5,000 yuan. But now I could sell it to you at only 3,000.” The man seemed uninterested in his phone and wanted to go away. Ming stopped him and said, “What about 2,000?” The man was greatly irritated and shouted at him, “What do you want to do with me?”
小明一愣，自他出道这么多日，还没见过这样的，不过小明自有方法。只见小明立刻换了一张可怜巴巴的脸，抱住男人的大腿，哭道：“大哥啊，我也是为了生活才来推销手机的啊。只要一千，一千就行了……”他竟然一把鼻涕，一把眼泪地诉说起来。连男子都有点被打动，手在袋子里动了动，小明一阵窃喜――有戏。于是哭得越发惨烈了。果然，男子掏出十张百元钞递给小明，拿了手机就匆匆离去。
Ming was stunned to speechlessness, because he had not seen anyone like the man since he began his business. Ming immediately put up a poor face and hugged the man’s legs, crying to him, “Oh, my dear friend! I am selling phones to make a living. Ok, now I will only sell my phone at 1,000. Only 1,000, is it ok?” Ming began pouring out his “miserable story” as he was crying. The man, after seeing this, felt a little bit affected and put his hands into his pocket. Knowing that the man seemed to be stricken to buy the phone, Ming cried even harder. Then to Ming’s expectation, the man took out 1,000 yuan to Ming and took the phone away.
赚了钱的小明好不得意，忽然觉得肚子有点饿了，就打算到小卖部里买一两个面包来填填肚子。到了小卖部，已经是中午了，小明选好了两个面包，到收银处结账。小明递上了一张刚刚赚到的百元钞，收银员见了这张钱一愣，然后愣愣地对小明说：“对不起，这里暂时找不开，请稍等。”说完就转身离去。呆在店里的小明没事可干，正巧店里有一台电视，放的是昨晚新闻的重播，于是小明就搬了张凳子，坐下看电视，毕竟在他的廉租房里没有电视可看。
After earning 1,000 yuan, Ming felt more than happy and as he felt hungry, he went to a small shop to buy some bread. It was noon at that time when Ming took the bread and planned the pay the bill at the counter. Ming handed over a banknote of 100 yuan to the cashier. The cashier stared at the banknote for quite a while and then said to Ming, “Sorry, I could not find the changes for you for the moment. Please wait a minute.” Then he went away. Staying in the shop without anything to do, Ming was sitting on a stool and watching TV. After all, his cheap-rented house had no TV.
电视里正播放这一个新闻，大体内容是这个小镇里来了一伙用假钞的罪犯，提醒市民要小心，或者有知情者可以警报.小明对它嗤之以鼻――哼！又来了一伙抢饭碗的。忽然，街道上传来了一阵警笛声，处于职业的敏感，小明想迈腿逃跑，可是转念一想，又不是来抓自己的，于是就正襟危坐，面无惧色。
The TV was broadcasting a news that a gang of criminals using fake notes had come to the town and reminding the citizens to be mindful about it. The TV station also called for the public to call the police if they had any clues. Ming could not help despising those criminals. All of a sudden, he heard police siren and out of occupational sensitivity, he was about to run away immediately. But after a second, he thought that the police was not to catch him, so he stayed on in the house and pretended to hear nothing.
警车到小卖部门口就停了下来，跳下来两个警察，一左一右将小明抓住，小明连反抗的机会都没有。这时，收银员从后面走出来，对警察说：“对！就是他，用假钞的罪犯！”小明心里一惊，那人……
The police patrol car stopped before the small shop and two policemen came out of the car and arrested Ming. Ming could hardly resist. At this moment, the cashier showed up and said to the policemen, “Yes, it is he who uses fake notes!” Ming felt downright shocked, saying to himself, “The man who bought my phone was a real criminal…….”
曾几何时以为小熊维尼只是部幼稚的动画片，直到有天看到维尼的这样一句话：“在这个世界上，有一种朋友，可以一起做任何事情。有时候，即使什么都不做，都会觉得很开心。当别人问‘你们在做什么，这么开心’，就一起回答说：没什么啊。”最单纯的语言却道出了朋友的含义，最深刻的友谊或许就是在一起时那种简单的快乐。在被纷繁复杂的现实世界折腾得身心疲惫时，不妨让我们暂时投入童话中，去享受一份无暇与宁静。
真情永相依
If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.
假如你的寿命是100年，那我希望自己活到100岁的前一天，因为那样我的生命中每天都有你。
If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever.
如果有一天我们不能在一起了，那么请把我放在你心里，我将永驻于此。
Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave.
答应我你永远不会忘记我，因为我一想到你会忘了我，我就不想离开你了。
If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you.
假如明天我们不能在一起，那我希望你能记得这些：你比自己所相信的更勇敢，比所展现的更坚强，比所认为的更聪慧。另外最重要的是，即时我们不得不分离，我依然与你同在。
世界你我他
You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.
你不能躲在林中的角落里等着别人来找你，有时你必须自己去找他们。
If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.
如果你诉说的对象看上去没在听你讲话，别着急，也许他只是要清理一下耳朵。
A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference.
多给别人一些体谅，多为别人考虑一点，那将让一切截然不同。
Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn' however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.
不是说体型大的动物就不向往温情；无论跳跳虎看上去多庞大，请记住他需要的关怀和小豆一样多。
Tigger：维尼家族中的跳跳虎 Roo：维尼家族中的小袋鼠小豆
生活不匆忙
Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.
河流懂得一个道理：无需匆忙。该到的地方终有一天会到达。
Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.
有时倘若你站在桥最下面一根栏杆上，弯腰看河水从你身下缓缓流过，你会突然顿悟一切。
Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.
不要低估了“无所事事”的价值--就这么走走，聆听耳朵无法听到的声音，无忧无虑的，这些就很有价值。
When late morning rolls around and you're feeling a bit out of sorts, don' you're probably just a little eleven o'clockish.
如果到了上午晚些时候而你觉得有些没精打采，别担心，你很可能只是处于“11点状态”。
在小熊维尼的故事里，维尼的钟总是停在11点，而每次他看钟时就会说：“啊，是时候吃点东西了。”几年以前在英国，有种在11点享用的饮料和点心非常普遍，就叫做&elevenses&。
做个聪明人
To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks.
对于一个没文化的人，A这个字母不过是三根棒子罢了。
You can't help respecting anybody who can spell TUESDAY, even if he doesn' but spelling isn't everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.
你不得不佩服那些能够拼写TUESDAY这个单词的人，即时他根本没有拼对。但是拼写并非一切，有些时候它完全没有价值。
Before beginning a hunt, it is wise to ask someone what you are looking for before you begin looking for it.
当你要开始搜寻东西时，明智的做法是先问清你应该找什么。
I used to believe in forever, but &forever& is too good to be true.
我过去一直相信有永远，但是“永远”只是个美好而不真实的东西。
今天有一个深大的师妹在Q上咨询了我一些申请出国读研的东西, 末了, 她对我说: “师兄, 我发现现在华康主持英语角做得越来越好了, 在台上越来越镇定沉着了.” 我听了打心里感到高兴, 然后对她说: “希望你们以后多多支持他, 我也相信他会越做越好的!” 这是我第二次听到别人赞扬华康越做越好了, 而再也没有人向我反映问题了. 我真的感到很高兴, 因为我明白我当初没有选错接班人, 虽然从一开始我已经坚信我没有选错.
经济学院的英语角当初是我经历了很多困难创办的, 我也主持了近三年了. 当初创办时经历了很大的阻力, 然而万幸的是当时有一位同班同学支持帮助我, 她叫方竹静. 现在我依然记得那时她和我去教务处和那个老师理论的情景. 其实当时被教务处拒绝以后, 我几乎想放弃, 然而正是因为她的鼓励与帮助, 我坚持到底, 最后终于成功了. 虽然她后面参加英语角的次数不多, 但是她对英语角, 也就是现在的商务英语协会的贡献是不可磨灭的. 似乎每个参加过英语角的同学都只记得我, 而不记得其他默默为它作贡献的人. 除了方竹静同学以外, 还有好一些英语角的管理员们也值得我们表达谢意. 虽然他们坚持的时间有长有短, 但是不可置疑的是, 他们都曾经为英语角做过贡献, 所以在此我向他们表达深深的谢意!
我对英语角的感情是很深沉的, 大概是因为它是我创办的而且我一直坚持了这么久. 至今为止, 我还经常听一些在院办兼职的师弟师妹们说, 那里的老师时不时会提起我, 特别是乐小芳老师, 居然在她带的09级的班会里表扬我, 想起来真的让我无比动容. 昨天发了一个自己做的调查问卷的链接到群里, 本以为大家都讨厌做问卷, 所以估计完成率会不高. 但是出乎我意料的是, 到今天为止,据我的同学统计, 一共收到了超过200份的回执. 做好的同学, 认识和不认识的, 都发了一封邮件给我, 告知我他们帮我做好了问卷, 并且对我说: 师兄不用谢我, 你以前在英语角为我们付出了太多了, 现在帮你做点小事是应该的. 看到这些话我真的有一种想落泪的的冲动. 看着邮箱里N个未读邮件, 我忍不住笑了一下. 原来感动可以如此的简单容易!
今年5月底, 当主持完最后一次BEC英语角以后, BEC中级就要考试了. 大家考完以后, 英语角的闭幕式也就到来了. 依然记得闭幕式当晚, 课室里可谓 “高朋满座”. 那晚是我最后一次主持深大的英语角了, 因为我七月就要毕业离开深大了. 所以当晚很多人来了, 同时我也度过了我人生最难忘的一个晚上. 依旧激情洋溢地在讲台上发言, 然而心里却多了几分落寞, 几分不舍. 当晚收到了很多礼物, 有鲜花, 有相册, 有一支超级大铅笔, 有贺卡, 有书, 有大家联合写的祝福卡片…….当我在异国失落时, 我会忍不住再看当晚的视频, 然后我的内心就会更加平静, 对自己也更有信心! 我想, 在深大我可以自豪地行走, 在这里, 我一样可以!
不过, 再怎么不舍, 我终究还是要离开深大, 离开英语角. 很早之前我心中已经有了接班人选, 他就是华康. 认识他两年多了, 他每周英语角都是必到的. 英语角过后我们也有很多交流. 我几乎可以说是见证了他大学英语学习之路. 我记得当时他大一刚来英语角时, 我对他没有什么印象. 然而由于他后面每次必到, 我也就渐渐认识他了. 实话说他刚开始口语并不太好, 可能由于学习的时间尚短吧. 但是比起他的同龄人, 他还是占据上风的. 后来我们认识了以后, 我渐渐地发现了他学习英语的热情非同一般. 经常清晨七点来钟我们会在桂庙通道碰面, 我是去文科楼晨读, 他是去文山湖晨读. 我们经常探讨一些学习方法以及问题. 从他身上我仿佛看到了当年自己的影子. 这也就是我后面为什么不遗余力地帮助他的原因, 因为我自己本身也被他的热情所感染与折服.
人必自助, 然后天助之. 既然他有这个热情与决心, 我也很乐意助他成功. 所以在后面我鼓励他参加BEC的考试, 并且推荐书给他, 中间也给了他不少指导. 虽然我很忙, 但是在他冲刺阶段我还是陪他练了好几次BEC口语. 我们在练习时被其他一些同样考BEC的师弟师妹看到了, 结果他们在QQ上发信息给我, 半开玩笑地抱怨我不公平, 说他们平时连电话也不敢和我聊久怕耽搁我的时间, 但是华康却得到我这么多的眷顾. 我当时就和他们半开玩笑地说: “我和华康结拜成兄弟了, 所以对他特别好.” 结果他们也说要和我结拜, 弄得我笑了好一阵. 最后华康终究没有辜负我的期望, 不仅连续通过了BEC中高级的考试, 还取得了好成绩.
毫无疑问, 在我离开深大前, 我已经打算将英语角交给华康弄的了, 这也是他一直渴望的. 因为英语角是一个非常好的平台, 在英语角当主持不仅是对心理素质和能力的巨大挑战, 同时也是拓展人脉, 强化交际能力和领导能力的绝佳渠道, 所以当时有不少英语厉害的师弟师妹找我, 想问一下我他们有没有机会. 他们当中有一些是来自外国语学院的. 就连院办的一位老师也向我推荐一个师弟. 然而我通通都拒绝了, 我和那个老师说我的心中已有人选了. 他听了也没有介怀, 说尊重我的选择. 当然这一切我都没有和华康说过, 一来我没有时间和他多谈这些, 二来我也不想他为这些事情分心, 我只是一直叫他好好看我是平时是怎么弄的, 以后就要交给他了. 当我对一些曾经的英语角管理员以及一些经常参加英语角的人说我要选华康做主持. 他们不少人好像也不太赞成, 他们总的意见是 :华康一上台就紧张, 没有那个镇定和大气. 然而我想, 谁可以天生就可以在讲台上沉着镇定地发言? 谁可以天生就有让人信服的领导组织才能? 这一切本身就是需要长期锻炼才可以形成的. 我刚开始弄英语角也出现了不少问题, 现在不也好好的?所以我最后还是力排众议，让他上位．我这样做并不是任人唯亲，我是完全相信凭着他的热情，　再经历一段时间的磨练，他会做好的！
果然，一开始他就遇到了不少问题，并且一有问题就跑来问我，就算是我出了国了，他也要和我视频聊天，咨询我一些解决问题的方法．直到那一刻我才明白，我以前对他＂太好＂了，从来不会放手让他去主持一次完整的英语角，有问题也没有交给他去解决，全是自己亲力亲为．我只是一直叫他看我怎么弄．然而＂看＂和＂做＂是两码事．结果现在他遇到一点事情就来找我．所以我后来直接在ＱＱ上和他说：＂有事留言给我，如果我觉得那个问题你是真的无法解决的，我会教你怎么做．但是如果我觉得那个问题不是问题，我是不会回复你的，你自己解决．＂大概他也明白我很忙，而且不能什么事都依靠我，所以后面他遇到问题会自己独立地判断，实在不行才问我的意见．终于他找我的次数越来越少，我也明白他越来越上手了，我也就放下了心头大石．
然而我最近听说英语角的参加者不太多，没有我以前主持的时候那么多．但是我也明白这是正常的，因为换一个主持就等于英语角转了一次型，要完成过渡期不容易．另外做一个主持就好比演一个电视剧．只有主持＂演＂好了，观众们才会再来．新上任的主持＂演技＂自然不够纯熟，暂时失掉一部分观众也是必然的．我深信经过这个学期的磨练，华康一定会变得越来越有经验，英语角也会发展得越来越好！他保留了英语角的ＢＥＣ指导，给很多考生提供了意见与方法，为大家解决了很多困难．他所做的一切都是大家有目共睹的．在此我代表大家向他致谢，同时祝他身体健康，学业进步，也祝经济学院英语角越办越好！

Journal Article Review
----On “Ahoy There! Toward Greater Congruence and Synergy between International Business and Business Ethics Theory and Research”.
Introduction:
With the trend of globalization, more and more multinational enterprises emerge, which has brought about many issues of international ethics that goes beyond traditional domestic corporate ethics. This journal article review will firstly give a brief summary of the article “Ahoy There! Toward Greater Congruence and Synergy between International Business and Business Ethics Theory and Research”, and then further analyze its positive and negative sides and brief the reasons why I choose to write a review on this article based on the issues discussed in it. Finally, the review will end with a conclusion.
Summary of the Article:
The past literatures of business ethics (BE) and international business (IB) have generally had little influences on each other. However, in the author’s point of view, with the trend of globalization deepening, a lot of newly-emerging factors such as the decline of nation states power, the emergence of non-governmental organizations, etc, have demonstrated that BE and IB, instead of being two totally different disciplines, are indeed correlated.
The author first of all points out a “cruel fact” that although a great many business ethics issues deal with international business and multinational enterprises, the two disciplines, BE and IB, seldom study the issues in each other’s field. Also a great number of published articles were related to IB, while only a tiny proportion of them dealt with ethics. After pointing out this phenomenon, the author claims that IB and BE are actually engaging each other: while IB research can help to inform how BE scholars approach some international business issues, BE research can also contribute to IB research.
To justify his point, the author firstly elaborates on the changing institutional context of global business and points out several key specific institutional trends: the decline in political power of the nation states, the transformation of the responsibilities, roles and the structure of MNCs, the rise of the no-governmental organization and the proliferation of self-regulatory organizations. Then the author moves on to elaborate on the implications of the changing institutional context for global business on BE and IB scholarship by discussing such relevant issues as MNC legitimacy and accountability, cross-culture values and norms, theory development related to nature of the multinational enterprise and dialectics of globalization. Finally, the author concludes the article by further emphasizing there are a number of aspects in which IB and BE can mutually inform each other and suggesting a field of inquiry where IB and BE scholars could jointly benefit from cooperatively venturing into new fields of empirical analysis and conceptual advancement.
Critiques on the Article:
Positive Sides:
(1) The author constructively and successfully points out that there is a close relationship between IB and BE. In the past, scholars in each field merely focused on their own field, either IB or BE, without combining them together to see a certain issue, which may result in limited vision and insight.
(2) The author can view the problem from a time-changing perspective. He explains how BE and IB are engaging each other by reviewing the changing institutional context of global business and its implications. Moreover, he manages to identify common concerns for BE and IB from the changing institutional landscape and suggest ways in which IB and BE could better inform each other.
(3) In the course of his discussion and analysis of some theory and points, the author knows to use some typical examples that can not only throw light upon his points, but can also tell the readers some facts and realities that deserve our contemplation, such as the issues of “sweatshop” labor and internet censorship.
(4) From this article, readers can not only learn the tight relationship between IB and BE, but also learn the relationship among IB, BE and other disciplines such as sociology, philosophy, etc, though the latter relationship in the article is not as clear as the former. From an international business manager’s perspective, by reading this article, he can further strengthen his notion that to be a successful IB manager, one must have a broad knowledge related extensively to various fields and disciplines. Also, he will have a better understanding of ethics issues in the context of global business and know how to deal with them effectively to a certain extent.
Negative Sides:
(1) Though pointing out there is a close relationship between IB and BE, the author did not further elaborate explicitly on how the two disciplines can better engage each other. The whole article mainly focuses on explain the existence of this relationship instead of instructing the readers how to “build up” this relationship.
(2) Quite a large proportion of the statements in the article are coming from the past literatures, though they are in good order in terms of explaining certain issues. The author’s own elucidation is rare, which to some extent indicates a lack of uniqueness and self-proposed insight.
(3) When proposing some issues or concepts, the author merely explains its meaning without providing some practical methodologies to tackle the issues or achieve the goal. For example, when mentioning “cross-convergence”, there is only the definition and explanation of it. the author did not tell readers how to realize this convergence.
(4) Though there is abundant content in the article that can facilitate the readers’ understanding and broaden their horizon, the article may involve too many things and aspects that may distract and confuse the readers from the main topic it intends to convey. Maybe if the author stays focused on some key aspects, the reader can better understand what he would like to demonstrate.
Reasons of Choosing This Article:
After I finished reading this article, I just had an impulse to talk with the author. Why? I have been holding a belief that IB should not be singled out from some other subjects like finance and accounting. What I say here does not mean that we should combine all these subjects as one. What I truly emphasize is that we should know the close relationship among subjects and know to enhance our professional capability by learning more about other subjects. My viewpoint is exactly similar to that of the author, though he attaches greater emphasis to the relationship between IB and BE. From my viewpoint, on top of mastering abundant international business management knowledge, a successful IB manager should have a broad scope of knowledge related extensively to finance, accounting, sociology, etc, which can help him make better informed decision. The author demonstrates the same philosophy on the relationship of different disciplines with mine. That is one of the reasons why I would choose to write the review on this article.
Another reason is that the author mentions some ethical issues worldwide, which leads me to think about the situation in China, my motherland. I will spontaneously compare what the author says in the article with what it is like in China. I will think about the reasons behind some phenomena, which is helpful for me to get a better understanding of the issues in the context of different countries, especially in my home country.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this journal article gives us a better insight into the relationship between IB and BE, which can motivate scholars in these two disciplines to further study some issues by retorting each other’s knowledge and theories.
