英语翻译
Our quarrel with efficiency is not that it gets things done,but that it is a thief of time when it leaves us no leisure to enjoy ourselves,and that it strains our nerves when we try to get things done perfectly.In building bridges,American engineers calculate so finely and exactly as to make the two ends come together within one-tenth of an inch.But when two Chinese begin to dig a tunnel from both sides of a mountain both come out on the other side.--The Chinese’s firm belief is that it doesn’t matter so long as a tunnel is dug through,and if we have two instead of one,why,we have a double track to boot.
The pace of modern industrial life forbids this kind of glorious and magnificent idling.But,worse than that,it imposes upon us a different conception of time as measured by the clock and eventually turns the human being into a clock himself.(This sort of thing is bound to come to China,as is evident,for instance,in the case of a factory of twenty thousand worker.The luxurious prospect of twenty thousand workers coming in at their own sweet pleasure at all hours is,of course,somewhat terrifying.)Nevertheless,such efficiency is what makes life so hard and full of excitement.A man who has to be punctually at a certain place at five o’clock has the whole afternoon from one to five ruined for him already.Every American adult is arranging his time on the pattern of the schoolboy - three o’clock for this,five o’clock for that,six-thirty for change of dress,six-fifty for entering the taxi,and seven o’clock for arriving at the destination.It just makes life not worth living.

我们关于效率的争议不是如何完成任务,而是它是否应该像贼一样偷走我们休闲的时间,或是它是否应该绷紧神经的完美的完成任务.美国修筑桥涵时总是精心的准确计算以便接头处的误差在十分这一英寸以内,而当中国人从山的两端同时开挖两条隧道时,他们坚定的认为只要隧道能挖通就没有关系.为什么要同时以两个隧道开工呢?
现代工业社会的生活节奏禁止这种辉煌壮观空转,然而更糟糕的是,它强加给我们这样一种不同的时间观念,时间本由钟表来度量,它却把人转变成一个时钟.（省略）可是,这种效率让生活变得艰难和紧张.如果一个中国人必须下午五点到达日的地,那么这就可能毁了他下午五个小时的轻松时间.如果换成美国人,他会按照学生的模式来安排他的时间,三点做这,五点做那,六点半换衣,六点半打的,七点到场.这样生活才有意义.
作者的观点中国人如终把自己绷得很紧,这样的生活太累.
