1. Translation
Comparison and contrast is a favored way to present your ideas and points about a topic with clarity and clear attitude. Good translation of such sentences or texts needs a careful use of connectives or expressions showing the similarities and differences. Exercise 8
Translate the following into Chinese, paying attention to the expressions of comparison and contrast.
1. Entrepreneurs want results immediately, while managers are happy to wait, confident that if they execute perfectly over time the results will eventually follow. (Para. 5)
企业家们希望马上得到结果，而经理们却乐意等待，他们相信功到自然成。
2.An entrepreneur’s short attention span allows him, or maybe even forces him, to think laterally. Because managers, on the other hand, can stay focused on one topic for a long period of time, they are able to — in fact prefer to — think in a more linear fashion. (Para. 6)
企业家的短期注意力允许他，甚至可以说促使他进行横向思维。与之相反，经理们可以长时间专注于某一主题，他们能够——实际上更愿意——进行 线性思维。
3. Lateral thinking is necessary in a start-up where the entrepreneur is constantly being pulled off course when plans don’t go as planned, while linear thought is required in more mature companies where getting several hundred or several thousand people to stick to a plan is absolutely necessary to get anything done. (Para. 6) 侧向思维对新创企业很有必要，当计划执行不顺时企业家往往会被迫转向；而较成熟的企业则要用线性思维，在这样的企业里，要完成任务，就完全有必要让成百上千的员工坚决执行计划。
4. While most A-students are really good at one thing, they tend to be completely out to lunch when it comes to almost everything else. On the other hand, B-students are really being sort of good at everything. (Para. 8)
尽管多数A等生确实擅长某事，说到其他事情时却往往全然不知。相反，B等生确实每方面都能干得过得去。
5) And he got A’s in half the time it took me to get B’s. (Para. 9) 他总能得A等，而我花了两倍的时间还只得了B等。
Translate the following into English, paying attention to the expressions of comparison and contrast.
Exercise 9
Translate the following sentences into English, using the phrasal verbs provided. 1. 人人都有想法，但很少有人能付诸实施，这就是梦想者与企业家的区别。(however, execute) Everyone has ideas, however very few are able to execute them. That’s the difference between dreamers and entrepreneurs.
2. 研究表明，男生往往兴趣期较短，而女生则更有耐心，因此，前者能很快结识新朋友，后者则坚持她们的长久友谊。(while, tend, stick to)
Study shows that boys tend to have shorter interest span, while girls are more patient, hence, the former are able to make new friends while the later stick to their lifelong friendship.
3. 相互理解和欣赏对于友谊无疑十分重要，但谈到婚姻，却还远远不够。(but, far from enough, when it comes to)
To understand and appreciate each other is without doubt important, but still far from enough when it comes to marriage.
4.B等生虽然无法像A等生一样把某件事情做得那么完美，但他们懂得比A等生多，而且能把许多事情做得足够好。(so ... as, more ... than)
B-students, though unable to do one thing so perfectly as A-students, know much more than A-students and can do many things well enough.
5.通常情况下，你越快适应工作环境，你可能得到的升职机会就越多。相反，如果你总是怨天尤人，你的机会就可能更少了。(the quicker ... the more, adapt, on the contrary)
Typically, the quicker you adapt yourself to the working environment, the more opportunities you may get to be promoted. On the contrary, you get fewer if you complain all the time.

2. Writing:
2.1 Writing goal: Developing comparison and contrast paragraphs
When we compare two things, we show how they are similar; when we contrast two things, we show how they are different. The purpose of comparing and contrasting is to understand each of the two things more clearly and, at times, to make judgments about them.
For example, in Text A, the author makes a comparison and contrast between the qualities of A students and those of B students, which make successful managers and entrepreneurs respectively.
