PART Ⅲ TRANSLATION

Directions: Translate thee following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)

In the United States we are raised to appreciate the accomplishments of inventors and thinkers—creative people whose ideas have transformed our world.We celebrate the famously imaginative, the greatest artists and innovators from Van Gogh to Steve Jobs.Viewing the world creatively is supposed to be an asset, even a virtue.Online job boards burst with ads recruiting “idea people” and “out of the box” thinkers.We are taught that our own creativity will be celebrated as well, and that if we have good ideas, we will succeed.It’s all a lie.This is the thing about creativity that is rarely acknowledged: most people don’t actually like it.Studies confirm what many creative people have suspected all along: people are biased against creative thinking, despite all of their insistence otherwise.“We think of creative people in a heroic manner, and we celebrate them, but the thing we celebrate is the after-effect”, says Barry Staw, a researcher at the University of California Berkeley business school who specializes in creativity.
