【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 row for this situation.5. In the eyes of many, the swifter the currents of globalization, the more fiercely the continental Europeans cling to the traditions of the welfare state(在許多人看來(lái)，全球化的洪流越快，歐洲大陸就越會(huì)固守福利國(guó)家的傳統(tǒng))For many people, the more rapidly the world bees globalized, the more firmly European Continental countries stick to the welfare state in the past.6. French resistance to change largely stems from a very different conception of the social contract between the citizen and the state in the realm of job security(法國(guó)抵制變革在很大程度上來(lái)源于人們對(duì)公民與國(guó)家在工作保障領(lǐng)域的社會(huì)契約持有與眾不同的觀念).When it es to employment, French opposition to change mainly es from their distince notion of the relationship between the people and the government.7. Many advocates of greater economic liberalization attribute France’s economic stagnation and political deadlock–conditions symptomatic of much of Europe–to the“hypertrophy”of the welfare state(許多提倡更大的經(jīng)濟(jì)自由化的人將法國(guó)停滯的經(jīng)濟(jì)和政治僵局——多數(shù)歐洲國(guó)家具有的癥狀歸因于福利國(guó)家制度的“過(guò)度增長(zhǎng)”).Many proponents of liberal economics believe that the slow economic growth and political stalemete in France, a typical condition in most European countries, are the results of the excessive expansion of the welfare state. 8. With the word getting out about topquality treatments at deep discounts overseas, informed patients are finding creative alternatives abroad(當(dāng)海外有大折扣的高質(zhì)量的醫(yī)療信息傳出后，得到消息的患者發(fā)現(xiàn)在國(guó)外有意想不到的替代治療).When American patients e to know that there is an opportunity abroad to save thousands of dollars over the same treatment in the United States, they gather all necessary information and travel abroad for medical treatments.9. For decades, thousands of Canadian and British subscribers to universal, “free” healthcare plans have endured waits as long as two years for established procedures(幾十年來(lái)，成千上萬(wàn)的加拿大和英國(guó)注冊(cè)使用全民、“免費(fèi)”醫(yī)療保健計(jì)劃的人們?yōu)榱思榷ǔ绦蛞呀?jīng)忍受最長(zhǎng)達(dá)兩年的等待).For decades, many Canadian and British patients covered by the national health system have spent as long as two years on their turn for the free medical treatment they are entitled to.10. As one veteran medical traveler put it, “I brought back far more from this trip than a new set of teeth.”(正如一位經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的醫(yī)療游客所說(shuō)“我從這次旅行帶回來(lái)的遠(yuǎn)不止一套新牙”)One patient who has many experiences in medical travel once said, after replacing his teeth abroad, that he has not only had a new set of teeth but learned a lot from the travel.UNIT41. But to their surprise, many people find that enduring such a harrowing ordeal ultimately changes them for the better(但出人意料的是，很多人發(fā)現(xiàn)遭受這樣一次痛苦的磨難最終會(huì)使他們向好的方向轉(zhuǎn)變).People feel surprised that they finally have bee better persons after undergoing such severely distressful experience.2. We love to hear the stories of people who have been transformed by their tribulations, perhaps because they testify to a bona fide psychological truth, one that sometimes gets lost amid endless reports of disaster: There is a builtin human capacity to flourish under the most difficult circumstances(我們都愛(ài)聽(tīng)人們經(jīng)歷苦難后發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變的故事，可能是因?yàn)檫@些故事證實(shí)了一條真正的心理上的真理，這條真理有時(shí)會(huì)淹沒(méi)在對(duì)災(zāi)難無(wú)數(shù)的報(bào)道中：在最困難的情況中，人所具有的一種內(nèi)在的奮發(fā)能力會(huì)迸發(fā)出來(lái)). We like to hear stories of how serious trouble might pletely change people, because these stories really prove a psychological truth that is often neglected by people when facing a disaster, . human beings have an inborn quality that can be fully displayed only in the most difficult situations.3. She never anticipated what would happen: a withdrawal reaction that eventually left her in total body agony and neurological meltdown(她從沒(méi)預(yù)見(jiàn)到將要發(fā)生的事情：停藥之后的反應(yīng)最終使她全身劇烈疼痛，神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)出現(xiàn)嚴(yán)重問(wèn)題).She never expected that stopping medication could finally lead to severe physical pains and neurological problems.4. But this time, she was way past her limits, and nothing her doctors did seemed to help(但是這一次，她實(shí)在不堪忍受了，她的醫(yī)生所做的一切似乎都不起作用).But this time it was more than she could bear, and all that the doctors did ended in vain.5. As her sleepless nights wore on, though, her suicidal thoughts began to be interrupted by new feelings of gratitude(在經(jīng)歷了若干不眠之夜后，她想自殺的念頭開(kāi)始被新的感激之情所打斷). But as the sleepless nights passed slowly, her attitude toward life began to change. She no longer wanted to mit suicide。 instead, she began to feel grateful.6. She was still in agony, but a new consciousness grew stronger each night: an awesome sense of liberation, bined with an allenpassing feeling of sympathy and passion.“I felt stripped of everything I’d ever identified myself with,”she said six months later(雖然她仍然感到痛苦，但一種新的意識(shí)每一夜都變得更加強(qiáng)烈：一種令人驚嘆的解脫感，結(jié)合著一種包容一切的同情和憐憫的情感“我感到一切我曾經(jīng)用來(lái)認(rèn)同自己身份的東西都被剝奪了”6個(gè)月以后她這樣說(shuō)道).She was still suffering from the severe pain, but she began to have a new feeling about life which was being increasingly stronger each day: an amazing feeling of freedom from pain, together with tolerance and sympathy.“I felt that everything I used to define myself is deprived now.”She said six months later.7. Now quieter and more tolerant, she makes a point of being submissive in a turntheothercheek kind of way(她現(xiàn)在更安靜寬容，在某一點(diǎn)她向另一個(gè)泰然容忍的方向轉(zhuǎn)變了).Now, she is quieter and more tolerant than before and always remains calm under any circumstances.8. In that moment, our sense of invulner
