Today, since faster is better, we read the condensed version or put a tape of the book into our car39。s more, we don39。有誰(shuí)還敢讓美國(guó)多等一晚上？ Symbolically, the American eagle now flies for Express Mail. How dare anyone keep America waiting longer than overnight?不要透徹，只求膚淺：而且，我們甚至不想徹底了解一個(gè)事物。 We like fast entertainment, so we record our favorite TV show on the VCR. 我們也喜歡能快速傳送的信息，例如電腦屏幕上閃現(xiàn)的消息、從你的傳真機(jī)傳到我的傳真機(jī)上的文件、“目擊者新聞”節(jié)目里九十秒快速時(shí)事報(bào)道，以及濃縮成“二百年難忘瞬間”的歷史。t agree with us, we hurry to the medicine cabinet for—you guessed it—some fast relief我們喜歡快照，于是就購(gòu)買(mǎi)寶麗來(lái)（拍立得）照相機(jī)。t care to wait even that long and pick up some fast food instead.假如吃了快餐感覺(jué)不適，我們趕緊去藥箱里找藥，為了——你猜對(duì)了——找點(diǎn)快速鎮(zhèn)痛劑（藥）。 Instead of standing in line at the bank, we withdraw twenty dollars in as many seconds from an automatic teller machine.而后我們拿著這快速取出的錢(qián)去一家快捷的便利商店（為什么在超市里排隊(duì)呢？），購(gòu)買(mǎi)已經(jīng)全部包好、隨時(shí)可放進(jìn)微波爐的速凍晚餐??除非我們不介意等那么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間買(mǎi)些快餐來(lái)代替。t even want to be kept waiting for it. 這種急躁、“討厭等待”的普遍心態(tài)已經(jīng)影響了我們生活的各個(gè)層面。 Faster instead of slower: Not only do we want it now。re in a hurry to lose weight, we try the latest miracle diet, guaranteed to take away ten pounds in ten days ... unless we39。 We buy our food, like our clothing, readymade and off the rack. 如果我們急著要減輕體重，就試用最新的神奇套餐，它保證能在十天之內(nèi)減去十磅??除非我們很有錢(qián)，可以去做吸脂手術(shù)。 But today we aren39。 If we wanted to be thinner, we simply ate less of our favorite foods and waited patiently for the scale to drop, a pound at a time. 可是現(xiàn)在，我們沒(méi)有這份耐心了。 If we wanted a new sofa or a week at a lakeside cabin, we saved up for it, and the banks helped us out by providing special Christmas Club and Vacation Club accounts. 如果我們住在鄉(xiāng)下，地方合適，就種下玉米和豆子，耐心地等待著收獲。Now instead of later: Americans understood the principle of deferred gratification (被推遲的滿足).
