“读文章，背GRE 词汇”的系列文章又开始了，其好处是放松心情，从繁忙的GRE 学习中暂时
地解脱出来，以一种更加轻松的方式巩固GRE 词汇，学习新的GRE 词汇。在你背完《再要你命3000》，
《GRE 红宝书》之后看这个，效果会更加棒。今天小编为大家推荐的文章是协作。
There’s nothing more powerful than collaboration between colleagues. How does that coinage go?
“Two heads are better than one.” I wonder who coined that phrase. A collective effort can render even
the most confusing problem coherent. Coherence is the key to understanding and resolving dilemmas.
By coincidence, my best friend and I ended up working at the same advertising firm. We’ve had a
cohesiverelationship ever since we accidentally collided into each other on bicycles in college. Fortunately,
nobody was hurt from the collision and we quickly became friends. Since then, we have cohered through
thick and thin. Remember the market collapse of 1967? When he needed a loan to recover from his losses,
I helped him. When I needed collateral to secure a home loan, he helped me. When a snake coiled his
4-year-old son and sent him to the hospital, we were there with him all night. The cohesion benefits both
sides and makes each side twice as strong as before.
That’s why I’m so glad that my colleague and I are collaboration on this special project. There’s
nothing coincident about how we ended up in the same group. However, it is a coincidence that the
starting dates of our present collaboration coincides with the time we first met last year.
So what is the purpose of our collaboration? Our purpose is to come up with an advertising slogan
that’s catchy and that uses colloquial English. By using a colloquialism, we hope we can turn the slogan
into a household phrase.
