be about to do

Unless you are incredibly cynical about what you do, you’ve got to believe that you have positive impact if you are going to be optimistic about what you do.(除非你是难以置信的愤世嫉俗，否则你将会相信如果你乐观对待在做的事情，那么一定会有一个积极的影响。)

But we do need to be very careful about how we use them, and in what context.(但是在什么语境下和如何使用这些语词和概念我们应该特别加以小心。)

Most of what I really need to know about how to live, and what to do, and how to be, I learned in Kindergarten.(大部分我所必须了解的那些关于如何生存、怎样规划以及如何做人的道理，它们都是从幼儿园那里学会的。)

While the best form of marketing for institutions is to be good at what they do, they also need to be clear about how they are different from others.(对于这些院校而言，虽说最好的营销方式是发挥自己的长处，但他们也必须清楚自己与众不同的地方。)

Most economists do not see price-fixing when it occurs because they expect it to be brought about by a number of explicit agreements among large firms.(大多数经济学家并不认为价格操纵会发生，因为他们认为这是由大公司之间的一系列明确协议所导致的。)

What do I have to be happy about?(我有什么值得高兴的事情？)

This is sensitive stuff. Many of the black leaders who are prepared to talk about it do not want to be quoted.(这是个敏感话题，许多准备就此事发表讲话的黑人领导人都不希望自己的话被引用。)

Do you have to be so cynical about everything?(你非得怀疑一切吗？)

If they know it is, they might be confused about how to do it or they might wonder why they should.(如果他们知道，也可能对如何使用它感到迷惑，或者他们可能想知道为什么要这样做。)

What they don't need to do—what would be a distraction—is to have to think about where their fingers are, or how to control the ball while running.(他们不需要做的——可能会分散注意力的——是必须考虑他们的手指在哪里，或者在奔跑时如何控制球。)
