问题     Certainly people do not seem less interested in success and what it can do for us now than formerly. Summer homes, European vacations, travel, BMW’s—such items do not seem less in demand than they did a decade or two years ago. What has happened is that people cannot admit their dreams as easily and openly as they once could, lest they be thought of as pushing, acquisitive, and vulgar. For such people and many more perhaps not so outstanding, the proper action seems to be, "Succeed at all costs but refrain from appearing ambitious. The attacks on ambition are many and come from various angles, while its public defenders are few and ineffective. As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impulse, a quality to be admired and cultivated in the young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States.
选项
答案 的确，一直以来人们对成功及其对我们带来的影响很感兴趣，而且对避暑别墅、到欧洲度假、旅游以及宝马汽车等事物的需求也不比一二十年前少。但实际上，人们不能像以前那样轻松地公开坦陈自己的梦想，因为害怕别人认为自己爱出风头、贪心、庸俗。对于这些以及更多不够出众的人来说，最好的选择也许是“不惜一切代价取得成功，但是不要表现得雄心勃勃”。对抱负的抨击来自各个方面，对其公开进行辩护的人则少之又少，而且不起作用。因此，在美国，对于把抱负看作是强大的推动力以及从青少年起就应该培养的素质的看法，支持的人非常少。
