目标goals[英]['ɡəʊlz] [美]['ɡoʊlz] 中英文小故事：警惕超负荷的目标 密歇根大学的心理学家发现，大量证据表明，人们将目标看得至关重要而又不够灵活时,就会对自己造成伤害。下面的故事就很有代表性： 吉米18岁时向他的女朋友求婚，她欣然接受，他们1年之后完婚。当时，吉米发誓要在24岁之前买房。他开始了一系列的工作中的第一份工作，但是工资待遇并不理想。那时，吉米和他的新娘住在一间普通却舒适的公寓里。时间飞逝，吉米努力地攒钱，向父母借钱支付定金，并竭力争取获得抵押许可。终于,他和妻子搬人新房，他们为此庆贺。但是，需要支付的房款远远超出了他的偿还能力。很快，他又找到第二份工作。那也不过是杯水车薪。 之后,他又找到一份兼职工作,他的第三份工作。 超负荷的工作拖垮了他的身体。渐渐地，他开始憎恨这所房子，甚至憎恨他曾对之许诺买房的妻子。 吉米放弃了原本令他满意的生活,放弃了有朝一日攒够钱再买房的主张。 相反，他不顾一切地要达到他宣布的目标。 If You Can’t Reach Your Goals, Your Goals Will Hurt You University of Michigan psychologists have found great evidence that while goals are important, goals can do us a great disservice if they are not flexible. Here’s a typical story. Jimmy proposed to his girlfriend when he was only eighteen. She accepted，and they were married a year later. At the time, Jimmy promised that he would buy them a House before he turned twenty-four. Jimmy took the first in a series of jobs. None of them paid very well. Jimmy and his bride lived in a modest but comfortable apartment. As the clock ticked on, though, Jimmy saved as much as he could, got downpayment money from his parents，and eked out a mortgage approval. Jimmy and his wife moved in，and then they celebrated. The payments were more than he could afford, though. Soon he took on a second job. It was not enough. Jimmy took another part-time job, his third. He worked himself sick and over time began to resent both the house and the wife that he had promised it to. Instead of continuing a life he found satisfying and continuing to save for a house someday, Jimmy rushed the process to meet his declared goal. 中英文例句 1.
