从更大的范围上讲，选民们往往仅因为某个政客的外表整洁清秀而对他做出有利的反应。他 的对手则因为没有牛就一副令人信任的外衣而常常遭到否定的评价。这种判断是错误的，其 后果可能是灾难性的。就算许多选民投-位候选人的票完全是出丁•政治原因，但本不该当选 的人，如果他有整洁清秀的形象，就会使他在势均力敌的选举小占有优势。
我们常常根据一个人的表达能力而做出轻率的判断。再回到政治这一话题上来，许多选民仅 仅根据候选人公开演讲的方式就对他的能力做出判断。然而，一个候选人可能非常善于演说, 但并不一定能胜任他所竞选的职位。我认识许多才能杰出的人物，他们只是没有培养口己在 公开场合演讲的能力，但在与别人一对一的交流屮却表现极为出色。这种能充分表达白己见 解的能力，固然十分重要，但我们对于那些讣人感觉善于辞令的人，往往产生错误的印象, 因为很多情况下这种优点仅仅只是“表面现象”。不难想象，一位外表整洁清秀、讲话娓娓 动听的政治家会轻而易举地战胜一位不事张扬但更为合格的对手。他Z所以取胜仅仅是因为 他的形象令人信服。 If you want a winning image with others, your first concern must be a winning self-image・ The individual who has a losing self-image will never be able to project a winning image to others. He may be
able to fool some people for a while, but his poor self-image will eventually make it impossible for him to relate favorably to others. Throughout the ages, great philosophers have stated, \"You are what you think you are?9 It is imperative for you to have good image of yourself 讦 you want to create the same impression in others.
No matter who you are, everything worthwhile will depend on your own self-image. Your happiness will be based on it. You will live only one life, and in order to enjoy it, you must have a winning self-image. Since we can all choose how we want to think ourselves, we should try to have positive, winning thoughts. In your own attempt to build a winning image you must begin with the self 一 otherwise, the image you strive for will be supported by nothing but a sand foundation ・
Any athlete will tell you that you must know you're a winner in order to be one. To many, this kind of message will sound like double-talk, but it contains an essential truth. Although you can apply this same message to any thing in life, I will use athletics as the basis for illustrating my thoughts about self-images because sports involve physical exertion by which desired results can be achieved・

学习艺术的过程可以很方便地分为两个部分：一是精通理论；二是善于实践。如果我 想
学习医学，我必须首先了解人体结构和各种疾病。当我具有了这些理论知识以后，我并不 能胜任医学工作。只有经过人量的实践，我才能掌握这门学科，直到最终我把所掌握的理论 知识和实践收获结合起来，并融合为一体一一即成为我的直觉知识，这才是掌握任何一门学 科的本质。然而，除学习理论和实践以外，在任何一门学科上想成为专家还必需有第三个因 素——那就是，掌握这门艺术是你最关心的事情，在这个世界上肯定没有比这门学科更为重 要的东西了。这一点适用于音乐、医学、木工——也适合于爱情。这也可能正是问题的答案 所在：为什么在我们的文化中人们即使已遭遇显而易见的失败，但人们很少去尝试学习爱这 门艺术。虽然人们内心深藏着爱，但他们儿乎把所有其他的东西如成功、名誉、金钱、权力 都视为比爱更重耍，几乎把所有的精力都用来学习如何实现这些口标了，几乎没有人去学习 爱这门艺术。
只有那些能赢得金钱和荣誉的东西才值得学习，而爱只是一件我们无权为

Intimacy, passion, and commitment are the warm, hot, and cold vertices of Sternberg^ love triangle. Alone and in combination they give rise to eight possible kinds of love relationships. The first is non love—absence of all three components. This describes the large majority of our personal relationships, which are simply causal interactions.
The second kind of love is liking. “If you just have intimacy”, Sternberg explains, \"that's liking. You can talk to the person, tell about your life・ And if that's all there's to it, that's what we mean by liking： It refers to the feelings experienced in true friendships- Liking includes such feelings as closeness and warmth blit not the intense feelings of passion or commitment・ If you just have passion, it's called infatuated love

Tove at first sight” that can arise almost
instantaneously and dissipate just as quickly. It involves a high degree pf physiological arousal but not intimacy or commitment. It's the 1 Oth-grader who falls madly in love with the beautiful girl in his biology class but never gets up the courage to talk to her or get to know her.
Empty love is commitment without intimacy or passion, the kind of love sometimes seen in a 30-year-old marriage that has become stagnant. The couple used to be intimated, but they don't
talk to each other any more. They used to be passionate, but that's died out. All that remains is the commitment to stay with the other person. In societies in which marriage are arranged, Sternberg points out, empty love may precede the other kind of love.

我认为家家都有败类。二十年來汤姆对于他的家庭是一种痛苦的考验。他的人生起步 足
够体面：做生意、己婚而且有两个孩子。瑞姆塞斯一家是完全值得尊重的人，完全有理由 相信汤姆会拥有实惠而光荣的事业。但是有一天，事先没有任何征兆，他突然宣称白己不喜 欢工作，而且也不适合结婚。他耍享受生活。他不听任何人的忠告。他离开了妻子，离开了 办公室。他
有点钱，在欧洲各个国家的首都度过了快乐的两年。关于他的种种行为的传言传 到了亲戚的耳朵里，他们都深感震惊。毫无疑问，他生活的很好。亲戚们摇头说看他的钞票 花完了怎么办。他们很快知道了。他富有魅力，而且厚颜无耻。我从未遇到过彖他那样难以 拒绝借钱请求的人。他从朋友那里获得稳定的收入，而且他特别容易交上朋友。他经常说把 钱花在生活必需品上很没意思；有趣的花钱方式是用它来享受奢华。为此他依赖哥哥乔治。 他的魅力在乔治身上没口费。乔治是一个严肃的人,他两次都轻信了汤姆要改过占新的诺言, 给了他一笔数目可观的钞票让他重新开始。乔治是个令人敬重的人。有一次汤姆借了 i辆汽 车和一些漂亮的首饰。可是当周围的事实迫使乔治明口他的弟弟永远都不可能安顿下來时, 他想抽手不管了。汤姆，没有感到一点良心的不安，开始敲诈他。发现口己的弟弟在口己钟 爱的餐馆的柜台后面摇晃着鸡尾酒或者看见他在俱乐部外面他在出租车的驾驶员仓里等候 客人，对于一位令人尊重的律师而言不太光彩。汤姆说做餐馆服务员或出租车司机完全是体 面的职业，但是如果乔治愿意支付他儿百英镑的话，他不会介意为了家族的荣誉放弃这种职 业。乔治支付了。
The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only with resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and despise the sprightly flivver that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them; they are good citizens, good husbands, and good fathers, and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting. I am fascinated by the men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it to their own liking・ It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events we have the illusion of it. At a cross-road it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or the left and, the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world's history obliged us to take the turning we did I never met a more interesting man than Mayhew. He was a lawyer in Detroit. He was an able and a successful one. By the time he was thirty-five he had a large and a lucrative practice, he has amassed a competence, and he stood on the threshold of a distinguished career. He has an acute brain, an attractive personality, and uprightness. There was no reason why he should not become, financially or politically, a power in the land.
