35、bscriptions (since it would be tailored to that target audience ) and from advertising (not just for gardening products, but also for other products and services such as cruise holidays and financial services aimed at the same target market)。其中的論點(diǎn)是，像今天的園藝雜志一樣，這種頻道不僅從入網(wǎng)費(fèi)上取得收入(既然它滿足的是特定觀 眾的需要)，而且通過播出廣

36、告掙錢(不僅是園藝產(chǎn)品的廣告，而且包括其他產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)項(xiàng)目，如長途旅 游的假期，面向同樣的特定市場的金融服務(wù))。36.

They lose daily contact with Nature , their idea of Nature is rather vague

39、and non-experiential , so they think that they are independent of and above Nature , or even can live without Nature.他們與大自然失去了日常聯(lián)系，對(duì)大自然的認(rèn)識(shí)是相當(dāng)模糊的、非經(jīng)驗(yàn)式的，所以，他們認(rèn)為自己獨(dú) 立于大自然或凌駕其上，甚至認(rèn)為沒有大自然照樣可以生存。39. Thinking in terms of public experiences, we find that joyous experiences are a means; when thinking subject

40、ively , or in terms of one s own sense experiences, we find that joyous experiences are an end.從集體經(jīng)驗(yàn)的角度來看，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)歡樂的體驗(yàn)是一種手段；從主觀上來說，或者從個(gè)人的感官體驗(yàn)來 說，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)歡樂的體驗(yàn)是一種目的。40. So we should view joyous experiences and life sustenance in this way : Lifeis a carrier of senses and values , but not all sorts of senses

41、and values are permitted , pursuance of forbidden ones will lead to the threat or even discontinuance of life as an individual and as a whole.因此，我們應(yīng)該這樣看待歡樂的體驗(yàn)和生命的維系：生命是感官和價(jià)值觀的載體，但是，并非所有感 官享受和價(jià)值觀都是被允許存在的，如果追求被禁止的享受和價(jià)值觀，將會(huì)受到威脅，甚至造成某個(gè)個(gè)體 或社會(huì)整體生命的終結(jié)。41. Competition , formerly between individual firms , i

42、s now mainly between nations, and is therefore conducted by methods quite different from those formulated by the classical economists. ( 3)競爭過去是在公司之間展開，但現(xiàn)在主要成為國家之間的競爭，所以，經(jīng)典經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家們揭示的競爭方 法已經(jīng)不再適用。42. We may say, therefore, speaking very generally , that men have used the increased productivity which the

43、y owe to science for three chief purposes in succession : first, to increase the population ； then, to raise the standard of comfort ; and, finally , to provide more energy to war.因此，我們可以概而言之地說，科學(xué)的發(fā)展帶來了生產(chǎn)率的提高，人們由此可以依次實(shí)現(xiàn)三個(gè)主要目 的：第一，增加人口的數(shù)量；其次，提高舒適生活的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)；再次，為戰(zhàn)爭提供更多的能源。43.

44、ware ! There s a lot of new technology talk going on in public relations these days,and it s coming from a variety of sources.網(wǎng)頁瀏覽器！交互式軟件！最近，在公共關(guān)系中人們大談特談新技術(shù)，而且各種各樣的人都加入了進(jìn) 來。44. The foundations of good public relations remain the same : anticipating and meeting the needs of clients and the media, and

45、 providing informed and useful counsel.建立良好公共關(guān)系的基礎(chǔ)沒有變：考慮并滿足顧客和媒體的需要，為之提供有根據(jù)的有用咨詢。45. The delivery system is part of the message and contributes to the overall image , so the practitioner should consider how that system affects the client , the product, and the audiences.交貨方式是公司信息的組成部分，影響到公司的整體形象，因此，

46、實(shí)際負(fù)責(zé)的人應(yīng)該考慮這種交貨方 式對(duì)消費(fèi)者、產(chǎn)品和觀眾產(chǎn)生的影響。46.

They believe

47、that those regulations , which exclude most poor husband and wife families from Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC ) assistance grants contribute to the problem of family dissolution.這些規(guī)定將最貧困的夫妻家庭排斥在“救助有受撫養(yǎng)子女的家庭(簡稱 AFDC)”的救濟(jì)金補(bǔ)助范圍之 外，他們認(rèn)為，這造成了家庭的破裂。48. The third type is the unhappily marri

48、ed couple , who remain together out of a sense of economic responsibility for their children , because of the high costs of separation, or because of the consumption benefits of marriage.第三類是婚姻不幸福的家庭，夫妻不離異只是由于對(duì)孩子經(jīng)濟(jì)上的責(zé)任感，因?yàn)殡x異的代價(jià)很高，或 者為了取得結(jié)婚家庭的消費(fèi)補(bǔ)助。49. Much of the variation in marital stability across

49、 income classes can be explained by the variation in costs of dissolution imposed by society , such as division of property , and child support.在不同收入的階層中，婚姻的穩(wěn)定與否，在很大程度上取決于在某個(gè)社會(huì)中離異所導(dǎo)致的代價(jià)的高低， 如財(cái)產(chǎn)的分配、子女的撫養(yǎng)問題。50. To the extent that welfare is a form of government subsidized AFDC payments , it reduces th

50、e costs of separation and guarantees a minimal standard of living for wife and children.由于補(bǔ)助金是政府補(bǔ)助的一種“救助有受撫養(yǎng)子女的家庭”的津貼，它起到了降低離異代價(jià)、保障妻 子和子女最低生活水平的作用。51. So welfare opportunities are a significant determinant of family instability in poor neighborhoods , but this is not the result of AFDC regulations t

51、hat exclude most intact families from coverage.因此，獲得福利補(bǔ)貼的機(jī)會(huì)，在貧窮階層的人中是導(dǎo)致家庭破裂的一個(gè)重要決定因素，但是，這不是 “救助有受撫養(yǎng)子女的家庭”政策所導(dǎo)致的，何況多數(shù)完好家庭也不屬于補(bǔ)助范圍。52. Rather, welfare related instability occurs because public assistance lowers both the benefits of marriage and the costs of its breach by providing a system of governme

52、nt subsidized payments.相反，由福利制度導(dǎo)致的家庭破裂之所以發(fā)生，是因?yàn)楣簿戎?jì)劃提供了一種政府補(bǔ)助體制，它不 僅減少了婚姻的利益，而且降低了破裂的代價(jià)。53. The warning signs can be difficult enough to recognize ; but the problem of identifying major depression in teens is further complicated by the fact that even these ambiguous signs are not always present.警告信

53、號(hào)可能很難辨認(rèn)，但是，即使這些含糊的信號(hào)也不一定總是存在，這一事實(shí)使辨認(rèn)青少年身上 所表現(xiàn)出的重大消沉情緒的問題變得更加復(fù)雜。54. They are using what we know as signs , to communicate with each other about some situation that is present at that moment: gathering the group , alarm, hunting , mating.他們使用我們稱做符號(hào)的東西，相互之間在談?wù)撝藭r(shí)此刻所發(fā)生的事情：如集合、警告、獵取、交配等55.

54、 to imagine something as highly refined and subtle as the cave paintings of 15, 000 years agowithout language to enable manipulation and transference of ideas ?如果沒有語言來構(gòu)思和傳達(dá)思想，怎么想像能創(chuàng)作出15 000年前如此精美細(xì)致的洞穴繪畫呢？56.
