The human being longs for a sense of being accomplished, of being able to do things, with his hand, with his mind, with his will. 【61】
Each of us wants to feel he or she has the ability to do something that is meaningful and that stands outside of us as a tribute to our inherent abilities.
This extension of ourselves--in what our hands and minds can do--fills out our personality and expands our ego.
【62】
It is easiest to see this in the craftsman who lovingly shapes some base material into object that may be either useful or beautiful or both.
You can see the carpenter or bricklayer stand aside and admire the product of his personal skill.
We’ve watched programmers and engineers work fifteen and eighteen hours at a stretch, seven days a week, when a job really got tough and they knew that a crucial deadline had to be met, or when a major project would fail unless some tough problem were solved. 【63】
They received a substantial personal payoff from their efforts in the knowledge that they could tackle tough, almost insurmountable problems, yet overcome them.
They enjoyed" making it",--winning despite difficult odds; proving their capacities against the outsider: nature, a competitor, a complex problem; mastering something new every day.
Even on simple jobs one can observe pride at work. Cleaning men will tell you that while the job looks uncomplicated, there are countless subtleties one needs to know whose desk can be dusted and whose can’t: how to get the most out of cleaning compounds; the best sequence to handle a variety of jobs; even how to sweep a great deal without getting tried.
Some are deceived into thinking that people like to store up energy, to rest and save them selves as much as possible. Just the opposite. It is energy’s expenditure that is satisfying. 【64】
Expending energy, in a sense, creates its own replacement, there is no reservoir such that the more you use the less you have.
The measure of your capability is in being active and being able to control that activity so that it results in a tangible accomplishment you can claim as your own. Just watch an employee who must deal with countless other people because his or her job is at some central point in a communications network: a salesman at a busy counter, a stockbroker on the phone, a customer representative. 【65】
They will tell you how much skill and experience it takes to field countless questions and handle a mass of diverse personalities every hour of the day.
Not everyone can interact with such persistence and over long hours, but those who do pride themselves in a distinctive ability that contributes mightily to the running of the organization.
【65】
选项
答案
他们会告诉你,需要多少的经验和技巧来在一天的每小时内回答无数的问题,并且处理好大量的各种人际关系。
解析
这是一个主从复合句,They…you为主句,how much引导的是宾语从句,其中,it是形式主语,takes是谓语,真实主语是to field…and handle…。而how much skill and experience是takes的宾语。field(动词)原意为“接球”,此处引申为“解答(问题)”。翻译时,可在从句中重复人称主语“他们”,同时将时间状语调至不定式前面;即“能在一天的每个小时回答……并处理……”。
