Job hunting? How to build motivation
找工作嗎？ 如何激發你的動力

文/ Chris G

Pity the Irish. In the past 18 months, Dublin has repeatedly unveiled commendably bold measures to fight financial crisis. First, it offered to guarantee the banks. Then it replaced its top regulator and central bank governor, and embarked on an unusually forceful effort to inject transparency into its troubled banks.

愛爾蘭人真可憐。18個月以來，愛爾蘭政府一再祭出抗衡金融危機的措施。先是提供銀行擔保，然後撤換了最央行最高首長，繼而又採取非常手段，讓陷入困境的銀行透明。

More remarkable still, it has also imposed a painful austerity plan, in a bid to reduce debt. This has hitherto been largely accepted by long-suffering voters; social cohesion still appears surprisingly high.

「原來如此，你一解釋我就明白了。」用英語要怎麼說呢？

Chinese Style: So it is. I understand soon after your explanation.
American Style: So that's how it is. I understand soon after your explanation.
