《Succeed》翻译作业(20)
Both bowls were placed on a table in front of each student,who was then left alone to stare at the bowls. Some of the students were asked to eat two or three of the radishes during their alone time, and to not eat any of the chocolates. Others(the lucky ones)were asked to eat two or three chocolates, while avoiding the radishes. Compared to the chocolates eaters,the radish eaters should have had to use up a fail amount of self-control.It's hard enough for most people to eat a raw radish,or to not eat readily available chocolates--just imagine doning both.
每个学生的面前都放着两个碗,然后有人盯着碗看。部分学生被要求在单独的时间内吃两到三个萝卜,而不能吃任何巧克力。其他的(幸运儿们)被要求吃巧克力而不能吃萝卜。与那些吃巧克力的人相比,吃萝卜的人更应该知道如何避免失败。对大多数人来说,吃萝卜而不吃巧克力已经够难的了——想象一下有这两种选择的时候。
