SAT趣味閱讀：馬云的“美國夢”.

　　SAT閱讀的考試的范圍是來自方方面面的，下面小編就為大家分享一篇SAT趣味閱讀之馬云的“美國夢”，希望對同學(xué)們有所幫助。

　　由于中國經(jīng)濟體量十分龐大，而且還在不斷增長，在過去二十年中，它已經(jīng)成為了一支越來越強大的經(jīng)濟勢力，但這里并沒有孕育出全球性的公司。中國企業(yè)的側(cè)重點，主要放在國內(nèi)市場，再就是為跨國公司提供大規(guī)模生產(chǎn)的產(chǎn)品。馬云則另辟蹊徑。阿里巴巴最初的著眼點是中國巨大的市場，但馬云明白，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是無國界的、全球性的。他堅信阿里巴巴可以在國際上進行跨部門競爭，而且他也有意為美國、歐洲和新興市場提供服務(wù)。不過馬云表示，他不會止步于此。他還打算顛覆中國的商業(yè)銀行和保險業(yè)。

　　China’s large and growing economy has made it an increasing economic force over the last two decades, but it had not produced global companies. Chinese businesses focused domestically and mass-produced products for international companies. Mr. Ma is taking a different approach. Alibaba has initially concentrated on China’s enormous markets, but he understands the Internet is a worldwide phenomenon that knows no borders. He believes that Alibaba can compete internationally and across sectors, and intends to serve the American, European and emerging markets. But he said he won’t stop there. He has plans to disrupt China’s commercial banking and insurance sectors as well.

　　當被問及他的成功時，馬云也分享了自己的人生經(jīng)歷。20世紀80年代，他在杭州的草根家庭長大，當時中國剛剛向西方打開國門。在成長的過程中，馬云克服了一道道難關(guān)。他想去的幾乎每一所學(xué)校都拒絕了他，就連小學(xué)也是如此，因為他的數(shù)學(xué)考分不高。

　　Asked about his success, Mr. Ma shares his life story. He was raised in humble origins in Hangzhou in the 1980s, just as China was opening up to the West. Growing up, he overcame one obstacle after another. He was rejected at virtually every school he applied to, even grade schools, because he didn’t test well in math.

　　他堅持了下來。從12歲到20歲，他經(jīng)常騎40分鐘的自行車前往一家酒店，到那里練習英語。“中國開放后，吸引了很多外國游客，”他說?！拔页洚斆赓M導(dǎo)游，帶他們四處觀光。這八年的經(jīng)歷深深改變了我。我變得比大多數(shù)中國人都更加全球化。外國游客告訴我的事情，跟我從老師和書本上學(xué)到的東西不一樣?！蹦昙o輕輕的他申請了30家公司的工作，但每次都遭到拒絕。有一次，他和另外23人同時申請肯德基(Kentucky Fried Chicken)的崗位，那23人都被錄用;只有他被刷了下來。于是他成為了一名英語教師，在杭州電子工學(xué)院教書。1999年，他前往美國?！拔业膲粝胧艿搅嗣绹膯l(fā)，”他說?！拔覅⒂^硅谷的時候，看到傍晚路上滿是車，所有建筑物內(nèi)都有燈光。這就是激情。我把阿甘(Forrest Gump)當作榜樣?！?/p>

　　He persevered. From age 12 to 20, he rode his bicycle for 40 minutes to a hotel where he could practice his English. “China was opening up, and a lot of foreign tourists went there,” he said. “I showed them around as a free guide. Those eight years deeply changed me. I became more globalized than most Chinese. What foreign visitors told us was different from what I learned from my teachers and books.” As a young man, he applied for jobs at 30 companies and was rejected every time. At Kentucky Fried Chicken, 24 people applied, 23 got jobs; only Mr. Ma was rejected.

　　回到杭州，馬云和蔡崇信(Joe Tsai)，即阿里巴巴現(xiàn)在的董事局執(zhí)行副主席，在他不起眼的公寓里創(chuàng)辦了阿里巴巴。他們之所以用這個名字，因為它“容易拼寫，而且世界各地的人們都會聯(lián)想到‘芝麻開門’，也就是《一千零一夜》(One Thousand and One Nights)中阿里巴巴用來打開寶藏大門的咒語”。

　　So he became an English teacher at Hangzhou Electronics Technology College. In 1999, he visited America. “I got my dream from America,” he said. “When I visited Silicon Valley, I saw in the evening the road was full of cars, all the buildings with lights. That’s the passion. My role model is Forrest Gump.”

　　盡管取得了巨大成功，馬云仍舊保持了本真。馬云承認性格決定領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力，而他注重的是建設(shè)自己的團隊。他將齊心協(xié)力的足球隊當做榜樣，希望做到11名隊員為了團隊的勝利共同努力。他寧愿聘用創(chuàng)業(yè)者，而不是經(jīng)驗豐富的高管，因為后者總是關(guān)心自己的安危，設(shè)法取悅老板，而不是客戶。

　　For all his success, Mr. Ma has retained his authenticity. He recognizes that leadership is character, and he is focused on building his team. His role model is a well-oiled soccer team where 11 players work together for the success of the team. He would rather hire entrepreneurs than seasoned business executives, who are always looking over their shoulders, trying to please their bosses rather than their customers.

　　馬云表示，他不僅僅為了賺錢?！拔液芗兇?，從來沒花過15分鐘來考慮怎么賺錢，”他說?！拔疑兄匾氖虑槭怯绊懫渌?，推動中國的發(fā)展。當我保持自我的時候，我會很放松，很開心，就會有一個好的結(jié)果?！?/p>

　　Mr. Ma said this Was not just about making money. “I’m just a purist. I don’t spend 15 minutes thinking about making money,” he said. “What is important in my life is influencing many people as well as China’s development. When I am myself, I am relaxed and happy and have a good result.”

　　馬云這種無憂無慮的天性幫助創(chuàng)造了阿里巴巴獨特的文化和歡樂的氣氛。公司給員工們發(fā)放彩條噴罐、鼓勵他們在休息期間做倒立來增加活力，還有參與一年一度的才藝展示。馬云會在演出中唱流行歌曲。馬云打太極拳，自稱“風清揚”——中國的武俠高手，訓(xùn)練出了一名武功蓋世的徒弟。馬云稱武俠是“解讀儒家、佛教及道教思想最實在的途徑”，他還表示，“武俠講究義氣、道德、勇氣、感情和良心?！?/p>

　　His lighthearted nature has helped create a unique culture and fun atmosphere at Alibaba where employees are given cans of Silly String, encouraged to do handstands to bolster their energy during breaks, and participate in an annual talent show where Mr. Ma sings pop songs. He practices tai chi and uses the nickname “Feng Qingyang,” a rerence to a Chinese kung fu guru who trained an apprentice into a hero. Mr. Ma called martial arts “the most down-to-earth way of explaining Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism,” adding, “They cherish brotherhood, morality, courage, emotion and conscience.”

　　馬云說，他擔心毛澤東逐步掃除儒家思想等精神信仰的舉措讓整整一代人陷入迷茫。但他表示，他希望下一代人能夠重拾價值觀和決心。他說，“我們需要的不是政策，而是真實的人?！碑敱粏柤爸袊母瘮栴}時，他說，“我寧愿讓公司關(guān)門，也不會行賄?！?/p>

　　He said he worried that China lost an entire generation when Mao Zedong phased out Confucianism and other forms of spirituality. But he said he hoped to restore that sense of values and purpose to the next generation. “It’s not policies that we need, but genuine people,” he said. Asked about corruption in China, he said, “I would rather shut down my company than pay a bribe.”

　　他列出了三個難題：繼續(xù)為客戶創(chuàng)造真正的價值、與政府開展合作，以及建立自己的全球性領(lǐng)袖團隊。他將如何利用自己的財富呢?他有一個遠大的夢想，那就是創(chuàng)建一所創(chuàng)業(yè)者大學(xué)，培養(yǎng)新一代的中國創(chuàng)業(yè)人才。

　　He listed three worries: continuing to create genuine value for his customers, working cooperatively with the government and building his team of global leaders. What will he do with his fortune? His big dream is to found a university for entrepreneurs that can create the new generation of Chinese entrepreneurs.

　　馬云就像是一股來自大自然的力量。他或許會成為新一代全球性領(lǐng)袖的榜樣，不僅僅在中國，而是在全世界范圍內(nèi)。“我們的挑戰(zhàn)，”他說，“是幫助更多人持續(xù)盈利，而且這種盈利不僅有利于他們本身，

　　Jack Ma is a force of nature. He may become the role model for the new generation of global leaders, not only in China, but also throughout the world. “Our challenge,” he said, “is to help more people to make sustainable money that is not only good for themselves but also good for society. That’s the transformation we are aiming to make.”
