　　"Sustainability" has become a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning,the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed through every day action and choice.

　　當(dāng)今，“可持續(xù)性”已經(jīng)成為了一個(gè)流行的詞語(yǔ)。但是，對(duì)特德寧來(lái)說(shuō)，它對(duì)這個(gè)詞有著自身的體會(huì)。在忍受了一段痛苦的、難以為續(xù)的生活之后，他清楚地認(rèn)識(shí)到，以可持續(xù)發(fā)展為導(dǎo)向的生活價(jià)值必須通過(guò)日常的活動(dòng)和做出的選擇表現(xiàn)出來(lái)。

　　Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. He'd been through the dot-com boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency.

　　寧回憶了在上個(gè)世紀(jì)90年代末期的某一年，他賣保險(xiǎn)，那是一種渾渾噩噩的生活。在經(jīng)歷了網(wǎng)絡(luò)經(jīng)濟(jì)的興盛和衰敗之后，他非�？释�得到一份工作，于是和一家博德的代理公司簽了合約。

　　It didn't go well. "It was a really bad move because that's not my passion," says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. "I was miserable. I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said,” Just wait, you'll turn the corner, give it some time.''

　　事情進(jìn)展不順，“那的確是很糟糕的一種選擇，因?yàn)槟遣⒎鞘俏业募で樗�在，”寧如是說(shuō)�？梢韵胂螅�他這種工作上的窘境是由于銷售業(yè)績(jī)不良造成的�！拔矣X得很悲哀。我太擔(dān)心了，以至于我會(huì)在半夜醒來(lái)，盯著天花板。沒有錢，我需要這份工作。每個(gè)人都會(huì)說(shuō)，等吧，總會(huì)有轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)的，給點(diǎn)時(shí)間吧。”

　　來(lái)源分析：

　　原文是來(lái)自一份雜志，叫“experience life”，出題人做了部分改動(dòng)，原文和改動(dòng)的文章如下：

　　Sustainability has become something of a buzzword(出題人把這個(gè)單詞改為popular word) these days, but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed through everyday action and choice.

　　Ning, director of LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability), the Boulder, Colo.–based information clearinghouse on sustainable living, recalls spending a tumultuous(出題人把這個(gè)詞改為了confusing) year in the late ’90s selling insurance. He’d been through the dot-com boom and bust(出題人似乎把這個(gè)詞改為burst了) and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency.

　　It didn’t go well. “It was a really bad move because that’s not my passion,” says Ning, whose ambivalence about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. “I was miserable. I had so much anxiety that I would pull alongside of the highway and vomit, or wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said, ‘Just wait, you’ll turn the corner, give it some time.’”

　　Ning stuck it out for a year because he simply didn’t know what else to do, but felt his happiness and health suffer as a result. He eventually quit and stumbled upon LOHAS in a help-wanted ad for a data analyst. “I didn’t know what LOHAS was,” he says, “but it sounded kinda neat.” It turned out to be a better fit than he could have ever imagined.

　　At the time, the LOHAS organization did little more than host a small annual conference in Boulder. It was a forum where progressive-minded companies could gather to compare notes on how to reach a values-driven segment of consumers — the LOHAS market — who seemed attracted to products and services that mirrored their interest in health, environmental stewardship, social justice, personal development and sustainable living.

　　In contrast with his disastrous foray into the insurance business, Ning’s new job felt like coming home. Growing up in the foothills of the Rockies outside of Denver, he’d developed a love of the outdoors and a respect for the earth, while his parents provided a model of social activism — the family traveled widely, and at one point his parents created and operated a nonprofit that offered microcredit loans to small businesses in Vietnam and Guatemala. He has three adopted sisters from Vietnam and Korea. He studied international relations and Chinese at Colorado University and slipped easily into the Boulder lifestyle — commuting by bike, eating organics, buying local and the rest — though he stopped short of the patchouli-and-dreadlocks phase embraced by many of his peers. (He opted instead for the university’s ski team and, after graduating, wound up coaching the Japanese development team during the Nagano Olympics in 1998.)
