最滑稽荒诞的诗人——纳什brief introduction of ogden nash ogden nash (1902-1971), a master of light, whimsical, and sometimes nonsensical verse, started his writing career at doubleday page publishers, where he wrote his first children’s book with joseph algers, the cricket of garador, in 1925. his first piece of satiric verse spring comes to murray hill was published in 1930. in an environment in which people cared little about poetry, nash managed to be one of the most popular and most quoted poets of his time. his turn of the phrase, his puns, and his nonsensical rhymes appealed to people of all ages. he was well regarded by critics and the public alike for his inventive titles, his unlikely rhymes, and his ridiculous play on words. nash possessed a style that was very irregular indeed. sometimes his poems contained only a handful of words; at other times they went on for several lines before ending in a clever or sometimes nonsensical rhyme. on many occasions he invented a word to fit the rhyme. not only are his lines and rhymes irregular, but the length of his poems varied greatly. some verses would go on for pages at a time, while others began and ended abruptly in two lines. although the atlantic monthly heralded nash as "god’s gift to the united states" for his insightful commentary on 20th-century america, his work had international appeal. his poems were humorous not only because they made people laugh, but also because they contained some truth of human experience. he believed that his writing was not just for kids, but rather lay in a gray area between child and adult worlds. 奥格登·纳什简介 奥格登·纳什(1902-1971)是一名轻松、滑稽、有时甚至可称作是荒诞诗歌的大师。在doubleday出版社工作期间,他与joseph algers在1925年合著了其第一本儿童读物--the cricket of garador,从而开始了其写作生涯。 1930年,他的第一首讽刺诗spring comes to murray hill发表。 在一个诗歌不被关注的环境下,纳什努力使自己成为那个时代最受欢迎、最常被引用的诗人之一。他的措辞安排、双关语的运用,荒诞的押韵吸引了各年龄段的读者。 他本人,就如同其诗歌的创造性的标题、不同寻常的押韵、荒谬的措辞一样,备受评论家和公众的推崇。 纳什的诗风非常独特。他的诗或有数行,或只有寥寥数字;或以巧妙的押韵结尾,或以荒诞的韵脚收行。很多时候,他甚至创造一个词来满足押韵的要求。他的诗不光在诗行和押韵上独特,诗的长度也变化很大。有的诗长达数页,而有的诗却只有不连贯的两行。 纳什对20世纪的美国洞察深刻,评论精辟,被《大西洋月刊》称为“上帝赐予美国的礼物”,但实际上他的作品在全世界都具有很大的影响力。说他的诗是幽默的,不仅因为他的诗能使人发笑,还因为这些诗能让人体会到人生经验的真谛。他相信,他的文字不仅仅是写给孩子们的, 而是应被放在一个孩子和成年人世界之间的灰色地域。 爱尔兰作家乔治·a·莫尔 Irish author george augustus moore was born february 24, 1852, at moore hall, county mayo. most of moore's childhood was spent in ireland, where he was tutored locally. in 1861 he was sent for formal education at oscott. he withdrew from the school in 1867, after an experience which he described with bitterness in confessions of a young man (1888)。 from 1869 to 1873 moore lived in london, where his father had moved the family in 1869 after his election to parliament in 1868. after his father's death in 1870, moore painted, visited art galleries, and led a gentleman's life in england. from 1873-1880 moore lived in paris, studied at l'ecole des beaux arts and the jullian's academy, and met many of the period's avant-garde painters and writers. notable among the many he encountered were mallarme, manet, monet, degas, pissarro, renoir, sisley, and zola. although moore exhibited some talent as a painter, moore did not believe his ability was sufficient for creating great art. in the 1870s moore began to write and had probably written a comedy titled worldliness by 1874. no copies of this initial work have survived. his first published work was a volume of poems titled flowers of passion (1878)。 the book of poems was followed by martin luther (1879), a tragedy written in collaboration with dramatist bernard lopez. financial difficulties forced his return to london in 1880, where he worked at earning a living by writing. in 1883 george moore's first novel, a modern lover, appeared. during the 1880s and 1890s his works included a mummer's wife (1885), confessions of a young man (1888), and esther waters (1894)。 in 1901 moore left london and settled in dublin, ireland, where he wrote and produced plays, gave speeches defending the theatre movement, and began writing material which reflected his irish heritage. during this period he wrote the collection of stories, the untilled field (1903); a novel, the lake (1905); and his three-volume autobiography, hail and farewell (1911-1914)。 in 1911 moore returned from ireland and lived at 121 ebury street in london until his death in 1933. from 1911 to 1932 moore wrote numerous books, including the brook kerith (1916), a story-teller's holiday (1918), avowals (1919), heloise and abelard (1921), daphnis and chloe (1924), ulick and soracha (1926), and aphrodite in aulis (1930)。 爱尔兰作家乔治·a·莫尔出生于1852年2月24日,梅奥郡的莫尔府。莫尔童年时大部分时光都待在爱尔兰,并在当地接受教育。1861年他被送到奥斯科特接受正式教育。1867年在一次不愉快的经历之后,他从学校辍学了, 这在他的《一个青年的自白》(confessions of a young man,1888)中也有描述。1868年莫尔的父亲当选下院议员,隔年举家迁往伦敦,直至1873年为止这段时间莫尔都居住在此。1870年父亲死后,莫尔就在英格兰作画,游览艺术画廊,过着绅士般的生活。1873年至1880年间,莫尔住在巴黎,并在当地的综合艺术学院和茱莉安学院学习,遇到了许多当时的先锋派画家和作家。其中较为著名的人物有马拉梅,马奈,莫奈,德加,毕沙罗,雷诺阿,西斯莱和左拉。 虽然莫尔在绘画方面显现出了一些才能,但他认为自己还不足以创作出伟大的艺术品。19世纪70年代莫尔开始写作,大概是在1874年之前完成了一部为《世俗》(worldliness)的喜剧。但这篇处女作的原稿未能保存下来。他出版的第一部作品是一部名叫《情欲之花》(flowers of passion,1878)的唯美主义诗集。紧随其后的是与剧作家伯纳德·洛佩兹(bernard lopez)合著的悲剧《马丁·路德》(martin luther,1879)。 1880年由于经济困难,他不得不回到伦敦以写作谋生。 1883年,他的第一部小说《现代情人》(a modern lover)问世了。19世纪80到90年代间他又创作了包括《一个哑剧演员的妻子》(a mummer's wife,1885),《一个青年的自白》(confessions of a young man,1888)以及象征自然主义的《伊斯特·沃特斯》(esther waters,1894)等在内的几部小说。 1901年莫尔离开伦敦定居爱尔兰的都柏林,在那里创作、编剧,为捍卫戏剧运动发表演说,并开始写一些反映其爱尔兰人传统的资料。 在这期间他完成了一本故事集《未开垦的荒地》(the untilled field,1903);小说《湖》(the lake,1905);以及自传三部曲《致敬与告别》(hail and farewell,1911-1914)。 ………………………………………… 查看全文。。。 1911年莫尔离开爱尔兰,居住在伦敦埃贝里121号大街直至1933年去世。1911到1931年间,莫尔又创作了许多佳作,包括象征主义的耶稣传《凯里斯溪》(the brook kerith,1916),《说谎者的假日》(the story-teller's holliday,1918)《坦承》(avowals,1919),散文诗似的传奇《爱洛绮斯和阿贝拉》(heloise and abelard,1921),《达佛涅斯和克洛伊》(daphnis and chloe,1924),《尤里克和索拉察》(ulick and soracha,1926),还有《阿佛洛狄特在奥里斯》(aphrodite in aulis,1930)。 费了我不少时间,希望对你有帮助!!

成功并不遥远:如何像扎克伯格一样思考The author of a new book on the Facebook founder reveals some of the characteristics that makes Mark, Mark.新出版的facebook创始人传记的作者在书中揭露了马克之所以能够成功的几个个性上的原因。Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is one of the youngest billionaires in the world, and avisionary with over a billion customers affected by his decisions on a regular basis.Facebook创始人马克-扎克伯格是世界上最年轻的亿万富翁之一,他也是一个用他的工作影响了数以亿计人的梦想家。Of course, Mark doesn't run Facebook by himself, but he has created a culture and brought in top level partners like Sheryl Sandberg to run areas where her strengths are most appropriate. According to the author of Think Like Zuck, Ekaterina Walter, entrepreneurs like Zuckerberg use five main factors in creating their company: Purpose, passion, product, people and partnerships. Walter, who is a "social innovator" at Intel, interviewed many employees and Facebook partners to learn more about what it means to think like Zuck.当然,Facebook公司不是靠他一己之力经营的,但是他创造了一种文化,并将像雪莉-桑德伯格一样顶级的合作者带入公司,给他安排了最合适的职位。根据《像扎克一样思考》一书作者叶卡捷琳娜-瓦尔特的观点,像扎克伯格一样的企业家们会考虑五个因素来创建他们的公司:目标、激情、产品、用户和同伴。瓦尔特是因特尔公司的“革新者”,他访谈过很多求职者和Facebook公司的合作者,通过这种途径来了解如何像扎克一样思考。The 5 P's5P原则"Every entrepreneur's vision is unique," said Walter. She continued: "Zuck's passion fueled his purpose, and based on this passion he knew exactly where he wanted to go. His vision was 'How do I make the world more social and provide radical transparency?' Purpose should be center of every business. If you don't know where you want to go, it won't work. Zuck knows his purpose regardless of external pressures, and provides clear direction for long-term strategy. Purpose then builds to create a solid product that people can relate to and use. But you can't create it alone, you need to bring the right people on board, create a culture fit, and get them to stand behind your purpose. You also need to partner smartly, with vendors, customers, or employees, and these partnerships need to compliment your skills and needs."“每个企业家的视角都是独特的,”瓦尔特说。“扎克用他的激情给目标提供能量,也给自己提供方向。他的愿景是‘让人们的社交更为便利,更透明’。目标应该是每个公司的中心。如果你不知道你想要做什么,那它永远都不会成功。即使背负着巨大压力,但扎克一直都知道他的目标,并为公司长远发展提供明确方向。目标帮助公司提供更优秀的产品给顾客,并与顾客形成紧密联结。但是,你无法独立做到这些,你需要跟合适的人一起合作,营造有利于企业发展的文化氛围,然后让这些人一起朝你的目标努力奋斗。你也需要聪明地与你的卖主、顾客或职员合作,这种合作还有一个前提,就是这些人必须要首先认同你的能力并认可你的需求。”For example Sandberg compliments Zuck in many of the operational areas of the company.例如,桑德伯格会在很多公司的执行工作上向扎克表示赞许。Can You Really Build a Company from Purpose?你能真的从目标出发来创建你的公司吗?In the book, Walter discusses how business interests should align with the entrepreneur's personal philosophy. Her example was Jake Nickell of Threadless, whose purpose is to empower the community of artists to share their artwork with people around the world. "He knew nothing about business or fulfillment, but helped make these artists visible, and brought a community to life," she said.在书中,瓦尔特讨论了商业利益应该与企业家的个人哲学一致的问题。她列举了 Threadless公司的杰克-尼克尔的例子来说明,杰克的目标是想让艺术家们能够与全世界的人们分享自己的艺术作品。书中她说到:“他完全不懂商业或者执行方面的事情,他所做的仅仅是让人们看到这些艺术家,并因此让这个联盟重获生机。”I asked if every entrepreneur needs such a grand purpose. Walter cited pizza franchise owner Ramon DeLeon who delivers pizza through the snow, or randomly to pregnant women who tweet that they're hungry, because he's passionate about customers. For him, it's not about the food, but it's about the customers. "Even a coffee shop owner must love coffee, must love customers coming in," she added. That's their equivalent of making a great product like Zuck and the Facebook team.我问是否每个企业家都需要一个这样远大的目标,瓦尔特回答说,pizza franchise公司的创始人雷蒙-德利翁在下雪天仍提供披萨外送服务,还会给那些发微博说很饿的孕妇送餐,因为他真诚的为顾客考虑。对他来说,他的事业最重要的部分不是食物,而是顾客。“咖啡店老板必须热爱咖啡,也爱着光顾本店的每位顾客,”她说。这对他们的意义,与扎克和他的facebook团队想要开发出最好的产品给用户使用,是相同的。Is Fun at Work Just a Gimmick?工作中的乐趣仅仅是个噱头吗?Facebook provides free lunch, and has all nighter hackathons. Zappos managers sit in a monkey pit of decorations, palm trees, and bananas. Is this all just a gimmick? "There is time for play and time for work at these companies," said Walter. "They hire people who fit the culture, and it doesn't feel like work. Facebook has free meals so their people can sit together and talk about ideas, meet other team members, and create relationships. I meet with all my teammates at Intel, take them out to lunch, and learn about them. When you know them personally, you have an opportunity to help them, createadvocacy, and create influence in a matrix organization. If you can be flexible with an employee that's dealing with a personal crisis, you will get back loyalty."facebook公司给员工提供免费午餐,还有通宵黑客马拉松。Zappos网站(美国购鞋网站)的经理在装饰着树和香蕉的猴坑上工作。这都只是噱头吗?“这些公司都注重员工的劳逸结合,”瓦尔特说。“他们雇佣那些与公司文化匹配的员工,在这些公司感觉不像是在工作。Facebook通过免费午餐让员工坐在一起讨论新的想法,与别的团队成员交流,并建立人际关系。我在Intel公司遇到我现在的这些团队成员,带他们去午餐,并了解他们。当你与他们有了良好的关系,你就有机会去帮助他们,发表你的主张,并形成影响力。如果你能在员工面临个人危机的时候伸出援手,你就能赢得他们的忠诚。”Leaders are Like Hummingbirds领导者就像蜂鸟One of the best areas of the book, and one that I would have expanded upon, is Walter's "Hummingbird Model of Leadership."这本书中最棒的一个部分,也是我最感兴趣的部分,是瓦尔特的“领导力蜂鸟模型”。She cites 10 factors that are like characteristics of a humming bird, but the most important to her is flexibility. "Hummingbirds can fly forwards, backwards, and they can stop and hover, which few other animals can do. Leaders need the ability to go fast when needed, stop, think, assess and have an environment of agility where they can learn and move with flexibility. Leaders like Zuck and Jobs have this kind of ability. They have intuition, and they trust their purpose. For example, Zuck had the idea of Facebook as a platform in his "Book of Change" notes years before it was announced at the developer conference."她提出了一个优秀的领导者应该具备十个与蜂鸟相同的特征,但她认为最重要的是灵活性。“蜂鸟可以往前飞、往后飞,它们可以随时在空中停止飞行或者盘旋,这是其它动物很难做到的。领导者也应该这样,在现实条件提出要求的时候能够快速前进,在需要学习的时候也能够停止、思考和评估。像扎克和乔布斯这样的领导者就具有这种能力。他们有天生的直觉,并坚持自己的目标。例如,扎克在正式提出建立Facebook的计划数年以前,这个想法已经在他的笔记中初现雏形。”
