­　　In the picture, there are five men who are pushing blocks. Among them, four are working hard on square ones, and other one is working with ease on a round one. The men working on the round block is way ahead of the rest. Behind him there are some scrapes and a knife stuck into the ground. Obviously, he has cut his square block with the knife into what is now a ball.

­　　The picture is trying to tell us that it is not enough to work hard. One needs to work smart. Many jobs do not just need strength and labor, but need ingenuity (獨(dú)創(chuàng)性), too. Sheer investment of time and energy has become an outdated way of work. Actually, to accomplish a lot of work in a short time is the dream of humans from the very beginning. If we review the history of human civilization,we shall find that pursuit of efficiency is the driving force (推動(dòng)力)behind many inventions. We’ve invented the wheel to travel faster. We’ve invented the computer to achieve rapid calculation. And we’ve invented the Internet to make the globe a small village.

­　　In the age of innovation and rapid technological advances, many jobs do not need as much strength and labor as they used to. A feasible new idea is able to help us greatly save labor and improve efficiency. Just as the caption says, “Be not just diligent;be also ingenious in your work!”

­　　譯文：

­　　如圖所示，五個(gè)人正在推物體，他們中有四個(gè)人在努力推動(dòng)方形塊，另一個(gè)人很輕松地推動(dòng)一個(gè)圓形塊，并且遙遙領(lǐng)先。在他身后的地面上有一點(diǎn)碎屑和一個(gè)工具。很明顯，他用工具將方形塊變成了圓形。

­　　這幅圖試圖告訴我們僅僅努力工作是不夠的，一個(gè)人需要聰明地工作。很多工作不僅需要力量和勞動(dòng)力，同樣也需要獨(dú)創(chuàng)力。單純的投入時(shí)間和精力的工作方式已經(jīng)過(guò)時(shí)了。實(shí)際上，短時(shí)間內(nèi)完成工作是人類最初的夢(mèng)想。如果我們回顧人類文明的歷史，就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)追求效率是很多發(fā)明背后的推動(dòng)力。人類發(fā)明了輪子來(lái)快速運(yùn)輸，發(fā)明了電腦以實(shí)現(xiàn)快速計(jì)算，發(fā)明了電腦將世界變成一個(gè)地球村。

­　　在這個(gè)技術(shù)進(jìn)步迅速的時(shí)代，大多數(shù)工作不像以前需要枯燥的體力勞動(dòng)。一個(gè)可行的新想法能通過(guò)提升效率為我們節(jié)約寶貴的時(shí)間。正如標(biāo)題所說(shuō)：“工作中不僅要勤勞,更要有獨(dú)創(chuàng)性!”
