  大家好,欢迎收听英语六分钟,在这里我们将带给大家一个有趣的话题和六个词汇。我是尼尔,和我一起的是罗伯。   

  

  大家好,欢迎收听英语六分钟。我们将为您带来一个有趣的话题和六个实用单词。我是尼尔,这是我的搭档罗布。   

  

  你好。今天我们有六分钟的时间来谈论诚实,以及诚实的人是如何花钱的,特别是when it comes to。尼尔,什么是诚实盒子?   

  

  大家好!今天我们谈论诚实和人们有多诚实,尤其是在金钱消费方面。尼尔,什么是诚实的盒子?   

  

  嗯,这是你把钱放在盒子里买东西的地方——但放入正确的数量是up to you的事。一个小企业可能会用这种方法来拿钱,比如停车或买报纸,因为这意味着你不需要销售助理。   

  

  嗯,就是你买东西的时候用来收钱的——这个盒子,但是钱数放对不对,还是消费者自己说了算。有些小商家会用这种方式收钱,比如停车费,报纸,因为这些不需要专门的导购。   

  

  但是这意味着人们可以免费拿报纸或者停车。诚实盒子依赖于人们的诚实。形容词诚实的意思是真实的,不试图欺骗别人。   

  

  但这也意味着人们可以不付钱就买报纸或停车!诚信完全取决于消费者的诚信。形容词诚实的意思是真诚的,不欺骗别人。   

  

  名词是诚实——诚实的品质。罗柏,你骗过诚实盒子吗?   

  

  诚实是它的名词。它意味着真诚的品质。罗柏,你曾经欺骗过诚实盒子吗?   

  

  绝对不行!我从来没有!   

  

  绝对不行,我从来不做那种事!   

  

  老实说。   

  

  真的吗?   

  

  老实说!顺便说一下,去cheat意味着去trickdeceive某人那里得到你想要的东西。诚如人们所说,诚实是最好的策略…   

  

  真的不可能是真的!顺便说一下,欺骗的意思是欺骗或欺骗别人得到你想要的东西。俗话说,诚信是做人的根本。   

  

  这就引出了我们的测验。   

  

  这就到了我们的小问答环节。   

  

  6分钟英语小测验!谁说“诚实是最好的政策”?是…a)唐纳德特朗普b)本杰明富兰克林还是c)理查德尼克松?   

  

  6分钟小测验!谁说的“诚信是做人的根本”?a唐纳德特朗普B本杰明富兰克林C理查德尼克松   

  

  说真的尼尔。每个人都会知道答案。   

  

  老实说,尼尔,每个人都知道答案是什么。   

  

  但是你知道这个问题的答案吗,罗伯?   

  

  你知道吗,罗伯?   

  

  好吧,我会有一个诚实的猜测。我认为是b)本杰明富兰克林。   

  

  好吧,我会做一个诚实的猜测。我想是本杰明富兰克林。   

p>Well, you might be right, but you might not – we'll find out at the end. I did like your use of 'honestly' there, Rob. We can use the adverb 'honestly' at the beginning of a sentence to show that we're feeling irritated - for example when your co-presenter picks a quiz question that's too easy!

  

嗯,你的答案有可能正确,但也有可能错误。我们会在节目最后揭晓。罗布,我很喜欢你刚才的honestly的用法。我们可以在句子开头用这个词表达一种被惹恼的情绪,比如当你的搭档选了一个太简单的测验题。

  

OK, OK, let's move on now and hear from Philip Graves, a psychologist, and author of the book Consumerology, who can tell us about why honesty isn't always the best policy.

  

OK, OK.我们接着往下看,听听心理学家菲利普·格雷弗斯的看法。他曾写过一本书叫做《消费者学问》,他在书中告诉我们,为什么诚实不是做人之本。

  

The question is not 'Are most consumers honest, the question is 'Are most people honest?' And the answer to that is 'no'. We have evolved with the capacity to be dishonest. It's part of our evolutionary psychological make up - because if we can gain an advantage over the people around us, we have a greater chance of surviving. Now what's important in that is that we also benefited from being in a social group and that was important in our evolutionary past so there is a balance to strike between the extent to which we can feather our own next, so to speak, and the risk of being ostracised by the group.

  

“大部分消费者都是诚实的吗?”这个问题应该改为“大部分人都是诚实的吗?”答案是“不是”。我们说谎的能力已经进化许多。这是我们心理素质进化发展的一部分。因为如果获得一种优于其他人的优势,就有更大的几率生存下来。如今重要的是,在社会组织里,我们依旧能从“不诚实”中受益。社会组织在人类进化过程中很重要,这么说吧,我们需要在,将自己美化到何种程度,和被集体孤立之间,把握住平衡。

  

A consumer is a person who buys things or services, for example, food or clothes.

  

consumer是购买东西或服务的人,比如买食物或衣服的人。

  

Or the use of a parking space or a taxi.

  

或者使用停车位、出租车的人。

  

Now, if I park my car and don't pay for the parking space, I'm being dishonest, but I'm also saving money.

  

现在,如果我停了车,又不付停车费,我就是不诚实的人,但同时我也省了钱。

  

And Philip Graves says being dishonest is part of our 'psychological make up'. What does that mean?

  

菲利普·格雷弗斯表示,“不诚实”是心理素质的一部分。这是什么意思?

  

Our psychological make up is the way the human mind works - the way we think.

  

心理构成就是人内心的活动方式,思考问题的方式。

  

And it makes sense to be dishonest if you gain an advantage through this behaviour. So when you take something without paying for it, you save money you can spend on something else.

  

如果你通过不诚实的行为获得一种优势,那么你的不诚实就有意义。所以,如果你没有付钱而拿走了某个东西,你省下了这笔钱,就可以花在其他东西上。

  

So why do we place such importance on being honest then?- If we benefit from being dishonest?

  

那为何还要把诚实看的这么重要呢?——既然我们能从不诚实的行为中获益。

  

Because it's selfish behaviour – which other members of our social group won't like. If everybody acted selfishly and dishonestly all the time, the world would be a very unpleasant place!

  

因为不诚实是一种自私的行文。其他的社会成员不会喜欢。如果所有人总是都自私不诚实,世界就会变得非常糟糕!

  

Selfish - meaning only caring about yourself and not about other people. That's a good point, Rob.

  

Selfish,意思是只在乎自己,不关心他人。说得很好,罗布。

  

Yes, societies work better if people behave co-operatively - which means working together towards shared goals.

  

是的。如果人们配合得好,科学家的工作就变得轻松一些,co-operatively意思是为了共同的目标而一起工作。

  

So honesty really is the best policy then - at least most of the time!

  

所以诚实真的是做人之本,至少大部分时间是!

  

And now it's time for the answer to the quiz. Who said 'honesty is the best policy'?

  

又到了揭晓测验答案的时候了。是谁说“诚实是做人之本”的呢?

  

What do you think, Rob?

  

罗布,你觉得的呢?

  

OK. Was it Benjamin Franklin?

  

是本杰明·富兰克林么?

  

And that was… the right answer! Maybe the question was too easy! Benjamin Franklin wrote it in a book of proverbs called Poor Richard's Almanac between 1732 and 1758.

  

答案……正确!也许这个问题有点太简单了!本杰明·富兰克林曾将这句话写进一本箴言集中,名字叫做《穷人理查德年鉴》,写于1732年到1758年间。

  

Other famous quotes include 'There are no pains without gains' and 'Have you something to do tomorrow? Do it today. 'OK let's follow Franklin's wise words and move right ahead with the vocabulary items we learned today.

  

里面还有其他著名的格言,比如“一分耕耘一分收获”,“明天要做的事,最好今天就做了”。好啦,让我们伴着富兰克林的名言,一起进入下一个环节,看看今天要学的新单词。

  

First up was the adjective honest - meaning truthful and not trying to cheat people – For example, 'Neil has a very honest face'. OK, then there's … um …. honesty and honestly… the noun and adverb forms. For example, erm…

  

首先是形容词honest,意思是真诚的,不试图欺骗别人。比如,“尼尔有一张诚实的脸。”然后是名词honesty和副词honestly。举个例子,嗯……

  

Honestly, Rob, hurry up and do the second item!

  

好了,老实说罗布,速度点讲下一个词!

  

OK, OK, I'm getting there! To cheat – means to behave dishonestly to get what you want.

  

好的好的,下一个!To cheat(欺骗)——意思就是常常喜欢作弊。到目的做出不诚实的举动。

  

My granny always used to cheat in card games. It was so annoying!

  

我奶奶以前打牌就喜欢作弊,真让人伤脑筋!

  

And I always used to cheat in spelling tests at school!

  

我以前上学时常常在拼写考试中作弊!

  

How dishonest, Rob! OK, number three. Consumer – a person who buys goods or services for their own personal use.

  

罗布你太不诚实了!好了,看第三个词——consumer消费者,是购买个人所用商品或服务的人。

  

For example, 'I am a big consumer of chocolate bars'.

  

举例,“我是一个巧克力消费大户。”

  

That's terrible English, Rob! How about - 'We asked UK consumers how much money they spent on food every month'?

  

罗布!这个句子可不太好!这个怎么样——“我们询问英国消费者他们每月在食物上花费多少钱。”

  

OK, I agree that's a better example. Anyway, I never consume chocolate. Right, Number four!

  

好吧,你的例子的确比我好。不管怎么样,我从来不吃巧克力。第四个!

  

Psychological make up – the way our minds work. The way we think.

  

Psychological make up心智模型——我们思维运作的方式,我们思考问题的方式。

  

For example, 'He had the psychological make up of a serial killer…'

  

比如说,“他拥有连环杀人犯一般的心理素质……”

  

That's nasty!Moving on – selfish – caring only about yourself and not other people.

  

咦,真不好!继续——selfish自私的——只在乎自己不关心别人。

  

You only made yourself a cup of tea – that was a selfish thing to do!

  

你只给自己到了一杯茶,真自私!

  

What?

  

啥?

  

It was just an example. You're not selfish, Neil. You're actually the most co-operative person I know - you're happy to work with others towards a common goal.

  

只是举个例子而已。你一点儿也不自私,尼尔。你是我认识的最配合的搭档。你总是很开心和别人为共同的目标而努力工作。

  

Not selfish then?

  

那我不是个自私的人了?

  

Never selfish. Always co-operative… And honest too.

  

从来都不是。总是很配合,而且还很诚实。

  

Great.

  

太好了。

  

You can co-operate with other learners in your common goal of improving your English!Bye-bye!

  

你们也可以和其他英语学习者为提高英语水平一起努力!再见!

  

Goodbye!

  

再见!
