一．英译中 1．My father died from the poor mans friend”, pneumonia, one hard winter when his lung illnesses had left him low. I doubt he had much lung left at all, after coughing for so many years. He had so little breath that, during his last years, he was always leaning on something. I remembered once, at a family reunion, when my daughter was two,?that my father picked her up for a minute -- long enough for me to photograph them -- but the effort was obvious. Near the very end of his life, and largely because he had no more lungs, he quit smoking. He gained a couple of pounds, but by then he was so slim that no one noticed. 我父亲死于穷人的疾病---肺炎。他咳嗽了这么多年，我想他的肺部已没有什么完好的地方了。去世前几年，他的呼吸已经很虚弱了，他总得倚靠着某个东西。我记得有一次全家聚会，当时我女儿才两岁，他抱了她一会儿，她让我有时间给他俩拍张照片。但是很明显，他是费了好大劲儿的。生命即将结束前，他才戒了烟，主要是因为他的肺功能已极度受损。戒烟后他的体重增加了好几磅，但当时他太瘦了，所以没人注意到这一点。 2．Though your parents probably meant your name to last a lifetime, remember that when they picked it theyd hardly met you, and the hopes and dreams they valued when they chose it may not match yours.

They feel they have to be all things to all people and do it all perfectly. They think, I should, I must, I have to. Good enough is never good enough. Perfectionists cannot delegate. They get angry that they have to carry it all, and they blow their tops. Then they feel guilty and they start the whole cycle over again.?对许多人来说，压力的根源是愤怒，而对付愤怒的诀窍是找出怒从何来。埃利奥特问道：“这样愤怒是否来自这么一种感觉到：希望一切事物都必须完美无缺？” “这在职业女性中是很常见的原因。她们觉得要让人人感到她们无所不能，而且要把
