2016.6.10第三次周翻译 字数： 3168（中文） 指导老师：陈月红 学生：邬昌玲 Be Lucky 祝你好运 Tony Hsieh 谢家华 #1 New York Times bestselling author of Delivering Happiness and CEO of Z, Inc. ＃1纽约时报畅销书《传递幸福》的作者及捷步达康的行政总裁 At Zappos, we try to hire the luckier job candidates. In fact, one of our interview questions is “On a scale from 1 to 10, how lucky are you in life?” 在Zappos，我们试图寻找更为幸运的应聘者。事实上，我们其中有道面试题是：“1到10范围内，你觉得生活中的你占有几分幸运？” Many years ago, I read about a study in which researchers posed that same question to a random group of people. Each participant was then handed a newspaper and asked to count the number of photos inside. What the participants didn’t know was that it was actually a fake newspaper. Sprinkled throughout were headlines such as, “If You’re Reading This, the Answer is 37. Collect $100.” 很多年前，我读过一篇报道，研究人员对随机人群提了同样的问题，然后发给每位参与者一张报纸，要求他们数出报纸中出现照片的数量。而参与者不知道的是，那个实际上是一张假的报纸。其实大标题上已经这样写着：“如果你正在读这篇文章，那问题的答案就是37，你将立即获得100美元。” Researchers found that the participants who considered themselves unlucky in life generally never noticed the headlines. They diligently completed the assigned task and eventually came up with the answer. But the people who considered themselves lucky in life? They generally stopped early and made an extra hundred dollars. 研究人员发现，多数参与者，都认为，生活中自己从不会那么幸运。因此，通常而言，都不会注意到大标题。他们绝对会认真完成分配的任务，最终找到答案。然而，那些认为自己在生活中很幸运的人呢，却更早获得了答案，并且获得额外的奖励。 The takeaway here is not so much about being inherently lucky or unlucky in life. Rather, luck is more about being open to opportunities beyond how the task or situation presents itself. 这里的额外收获并非生活中所谓的幸与不幸。相反，所谓的好运气更多的是指，超越任务或处境本身的机会。 So try to be more creative, more adventurous, and more open-minded as you go about your life. Try to notice opportunities in disguise. Try to think more outside the box. 所以，生活中，我们应该拥有极富创意，更为果敢豁达的人生态度；尽力抓住一些潜在隐形的机会；尝试创造性思维。 In short? 总之呢？ Be lucky. 祝你好运吧。 What’s the Worst That Could Hap
