五問：

（1）你對冒險行為或者說是有危險的行為是怎么定義的？如果能夠把某件事情的每一個后果都想清楚，它能被稱為一次冒險嗎？

（2）任何人，在任何領(lǐng)域，做任何決定的時候，都應(yīng)該仔細(xì)考慮所有的后果之后再做決定嗎？這樣做會有哪些好處？又會有哪些壞處？例如：對事情進(jìn)行仔細(xì)權(quán)衡之后再做決定，可以規(guī)避一些不必要的風(fēng)險，但考慮過多可能會錯失時機(jī)。

（3）你能否舉出一個具體的事例來說明深思熟慮之后再做決定的好處？即便在這個過程中，人們付出了一定代價。例如：在求職時，需要深思熟慮，考慮工作崗位與自己能力的匹配度、是否有發(fā)展前景、工作壓力是否能承受等問題，即使要多花一些時間。

（4）你能否舉出一個具體的事例來證明，有些事情想得太多反而不會有好的結(jié)果？例如：炒股，如果不能及時抓住機(jī)遇，很可能會輸?shù)羲小?/p>

（5）如果我們嘗試回顧歷史，人類的發(fā)展歷程是冒險的旅程，還是深思熟慮的旅程？你是怎么認(rèn)為的？

翻譯練習(xí)：

在電影《阿甘正傳》中，阿甘的母親對他說，“人生就像一盒巧克力，你永遠(yuǎn)不知道你會得到什么”。我非常喜歡這句臺詞。對我來說，生活的刺激就在于這種不確定性：如果你從一開始就知道未來會發(fā)生什么，生活會變得很無聊。因此，我一直都認(rèn)為，人們不應(yīng)該害怕冒險，（冒險）這一行為（用同位語結(jié)構(gòu) an act that...）在很多例子中都帶給人們成功且有意義的生活。

參考答案：

In the movie, Forrest Grump's mother tells him that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.”I love this line very much. To me, the excitement of life lies exactly in such uncertainties: boredom may prevail in life if you know from the beginning what the future holds for you. Therefore, I've always believed that people should not be afraid to take risks, an act that in many instances has led to a successful and meaningful life.
