22. Competition and Cooperation
競(jìng)爭(zhēng)與合作
Competition is a common phenomenon in our society. We compete when we play games, we compete in our study, and we constantly compete for jobs, customers and profit, etc. We can say that competition is one of the motives of the development of society.
在社會(huì)生活中，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)是一個(gè)普遍現(xiàn)象。在比賽中我們競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，在學(xué)習(xí)中我們競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。在找工作，贏得客戶，獲得利潤(rùn)等方面都存在著競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。我們可以說競(jìng)爭(zhēng)是社會(huì)發(fā)展的動(dòng)力之一。
But we often find competition and cooperation go hand in hand. In a football game, one team is competing with the other. But each member of the team is cooperating with his teammates. In most cases, we can't compete without cooperation. Thus they are equally important.
但是我們經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)，競(jìng)爭(zhēng)與合作是相伴而生的。在足球比賽中，一個(gè)隊(duì)和另一個(gè)隊(duì)存在競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。但每個(gè)隊(duì)員和他的隊(duì)友之間則是相互合作。在多數(shù)情況下，沒有合作就沒有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。因此，二者同等重要。
While we are advocating competition, we can't forget cooperation. Nothing can be carried to an extreme. Pure and exclusive competition leads to failure. Only when competition combines with cooperation can it help in obtaining our goals and satisfying our needs.
當(dāng)我們倡導(dǎo)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)時(shí)，我們不應(yīng)忘記合作。任何事情不能走極端。純粹的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)只能導(dǎo)致失敗。只有把競(jìng)爭(zhēng)與合作相結(jié)合，才能有助于我們達(dá)到目標(biāo)并滿足自身需求。
