(单词翻译:单击)

   A new article in a special section on Culture and Psychology1 in Perspectives on Psychological Science, a journal of the Associationfor Psychological Science, explains that people in different cultures think about work in different ways.

  日前,一篇刊登在美国心理科学联合会的学术期刊《心理科学视角》文化与心理版块的文章称,在不同文化生活的人对工作的理解也不一样。
  For example, people have different expectations about teamwork, says Cristina B. Gibson, of the University of Western Australia.
  例如,人们对“团队合作”就有不同的期望,西澳大学教授克里斯蒂娜-B-吉布森说道。
  Gibson has interviewed people to understand how they conceptualizeteams. “In the US, people used a lot of sports metaphors3. Elsewhere, that just wasn't a common metaphor2.” In Latin America, for example, many people talked about the work team as a family.
  吉布森调查了人们对于“团队合作”这一概念的认识。“在美国,人们使用很多体育方面的比喻。而在其他地方就不是一个普通的比喻了。”例如在拉丁美洲,很多人把“团队合作”看做是一个“家”。
