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.

选项
答案
在能工巧匠中最容易看到这种情况。他们怀着爱心,把某种基本材料精心制成一种有用的或好看的,或者既有用又好看的物体。
解析
这是一个复合句,主句为It is…craftsman;其中的第一个定语从句是who…ob ject,第二个定语从句是that…or both。它们分别修饰craftsman和object。lov ingly原意“钟爱地,亲切地”,此处引申为“怀着爱心”。本题可以用顺译法翻译。or both是指useful和beautiful,不能简单地译成“或者两者”,要完整地翻译成“或者既有用又好看的物体”。
