计划说明
考研人数逐年增加，竞争之激烈使得我们不得不加急复习的日程。众所周知，阅读理解占据了考研英语二100分试卷的一半分值，而考研英语阅读文章大多来自英美国家的主流报刊杂志，所以如果能在日常就多多阅读这些文章，对以后读懂文章做对题目来说会大有裨益。但是对大多数备考的同学来说，刚开始投入复习，就去读考试文章难度的新闻报刊，也是不现实、并且不符合循序渐进的学习规律的，所以我们会在每次推送中，给大家给出两篇短文，一篇是初阶水平（大致在初高中水平）；一篇是高阶水平（四六级到考研水平）；同学们可以根据自己当前的情况，选择其中一篇进行学习。
学习步骤如下：
1.不看汉语译文自己看一遍短文做理解
2.看汉语译文比对自己理解的意思与之出入
3.强化记忆重点单词（以记忆其汉语意思为主）
翻译文段
Today's CEO, at least for major American firms, must have many more skills than simply being able to "run the company." CEOs must have a good sense of financial markets and maybe even how the company should trade in them. They also need better public relations skills than their predecessors, as the costs of even a minor slipup can be significant. Then there's the fact that large American companies are much more globalized than ever before, with supply chains spread across a larger number of countries.To lead in that system requires knowledge that is fairly mind-boggling. Plus, virtually all major American companies are becoming tech companies, often with their own research and development. And beyond this, major CEOs still have to do all the day-to-day work they have always done.
短文翻译
如今的CEO,至少对美国的大型公司来说,必须具备更多的技能,而不仅仅是能够“经营公司”。CEO必须对金融市场有深刻的认识,甚至可能需要了解公司在金融市场中应如何存活和发展。他们也需要比他们的前辈拥有更好的公关技巧,因为一个小小的失误也可能付出巨大的代价。事实上,随着供应链遍布更多的国家,美国大型公司比以往任何时候都更加全球化。在这样的系统中发挥领导作用需要掌握的知识之多令人难以想象。而且,几乎所有美国的大型公司都在变成科技公司,这些公司通常都有自己的研发中心。除此之外,大部分CEO还必须做他们一直以来都在做的日常工作。
