What's mine is yours.
我的就是你的。
We've been told since we were toddlers that “It's good to share”．
从我们还是学步的儿童的时候，我们就被教导“分享是好事”。
Parents and teachers keep reminding us to share toys, snacks, books, happy memories, and sometimes even sorrows with others.
父母和老师一直提醒我们要与他人分享玩具、零食、书籍以及快乐的回忆，有些时候甚至是伤心事。
When we grow up, we share photos, life stories and opinions with people around us and with those we don't know via social media.
我们长大后，会与周围的人或者是社交媒体上不认识的人分享照片、生活故事和观点。
Taking it as an object of study, psychologists have published various papers stating that the behaviour of sharing is beneficial to setting up positive emotional bonding.
心理学家们将分享作为研究对象，发表了各种各样的论文来说明分享行为有助于建立积极的情感纽带。
①toddler n. 学步的儿童，刚学走路的小孩 ②sorrow n. 令人悲伤的事，不幸 ③“主(psychologists)谓(have published)宾(various papers)”。Taking it ... study是现在分词短语作状语；stating that ... bonding是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰papers；that引导宾语从句。
Today, the action of sharing takes on extra meaning.
如今，分享行为又多了额外的含义。
It's not just about sharing sweets or frustration; it has expanded to almost every aspect of our lives—the whole world seems to be into sharing.
不仅是关于分享糖果或沮丧；它几乎已经扩大到我们生活的方方面面——整个世界似乎都在分享。
We are using technology to reduce the money that we spend on goods and services, or to make money out of those that we don't use ourselves all of the time.
我们正在利用科技来减少我们花在商品和服务上的钱，或者用我们一直闲置的物品赚钱。
These vary from car shares to home shares, and even to pet shares.
从汽车共享到住房共享，甚至是宠物共享。
The sharing economy is taking off in all sorts of areas.
共享经济正在各个领域红火起来。
It is creating new ways of thinking and is providing services to people when and where they want them.
它正创造着新的思维方式，随时随地为有需求的人们提供服务。
④frustration n. 懊丧，懊恼， 沮丧 ⑤“主(We)谓(are using)宾(technology)”。to reduce ... 和to make money ... 是不定式短语作目的状语；第一个that引导定语从句，修饰the money；第二个that引导定语从句，修饰those。
This wealth of ways of sharing is a response to our increasing demand for quality goods and services at competitive prices, all delivered at the click of a button.
我们需要价格有竞争力的优质产品和服务，大量的共享方式是对这种不断增长的需求的回应，所有这些需求都可以通过一键单击来实现。
Whether it's an online shop where we can hire designer clothes at rock bottom prices, or a platform from which we can rent out our flats for a couple of days, it's out there.
无论是我们可以以最低价格租借名牌服装的网店，还是可以把自己的公寓短租几天的平台，都已出现。

What's more, sharing encourages us to reuse items, thereby cutting down on waste.

And set ups such as bike and car sharing do a further favour for the environment by reducing the number of polluting vehicles on the road.
共享单车、共享汽车等计划的实施会通过减少路上的污染排放车辆的数量来进一步帮助保护环境。
⑥hire v. (短期的)租用，租借 ⑦designer__clothes 名牌服装 ⑧rent__out 出租(房屋、房间、土地等) ⑨thereby adv. 因此，由此 ⑩“让步状语从句(Whether ... a couple of days)＋主句(it's out there)”。从句中where引导定语从句，修饰先行词an online shop，where在从句中作地点状语；from which ... a couple of days是“介词＋which”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词a platform。
But the sharing economy is not without its problems.
但共享经济并非没有问题。
As is often the case all over the world with new areas of economic activity, the sharing economy is developing faster than existing regulations or ongoing supervision.
世界上新的经济活动领域通常都是如此，共享经济的发展速度快于现有法规或持续性监管。
Some companies are taking unfair advantage of this situation to expand their share of the market, often at the expense of more traditional and established companies.
一些公司正在利用这种情况获取不公平的优势，以扩大市场份额，通常以牺牲更为传统的和成熟的公司为代价。
supervision n. 监督；管理 expense n. 费用，花费 at__the__expense__of 以损害……为代价
In addition, the sharing economy is subject to abuse of trust.

Some people have experienced damage to their properties whilst renting out their homes, and others have found themselves victims of theft or attack while sharing rides.
有些人出租房屋时财物遭到破坏，还有人拼车时成为盗窃甚至袭击的受害者。
Finally, personal data, the heart of the sharing economy, is not yet secure.
最后，个人数据，即共享经济的核心，也并不安全。
Sharing platforms collect personal information about almost every part of our lives, including our names, locations, bank information, and individual preferences for goods and services.
共享平台收集的个人信息几乎涵盖我们生活的方方面面，包括我们的姓名、位置、银行信息、对商品和服务的个人偏好。
Yet, the technology to prevent such information from leaking or being stolen still needs improvement, and the awareness of potential risks is low among both service providers and users.
然而，防止信息泄露或被盗的技术仍然有待改进，服务方和用户对潜在风险的(防范)意识也较低。
abuse n. 滥用 theft n. 偷窃；偷盗
Nonetheless, what is in no doubt is that the sharing economy is increasingly relevant to our daily lives as well as to the global economy.
尽管如此，共享经济无疑正在与我们的日常生活以及全球经济产生越来越密切的联系。

And the most interesting question of all—what type of society will all this sharing take us to
所有问题中最有趣的是——这些共享将会带我们进入什么样的社会？
“主(what is in no doubt)系(is)表(that ... global economy)”。what is in no doubt是主语从句，that the sharing economy ... global economy是表语从句；as well as表示“也，和”。

Ⅰ 阅读
In recent years, China's second hand economy has been growing steadily. One second hand book platform by the name of Duozhuayu, meaning catching more fish, has gained a lot of followers in just a few years. Here at the book store in Beijing, bookworms are filling up the space for books still in good condition and also at reduced prices. The company operates with a model of buying, repairing, sterilizing (消毒) and selling used books.
Their service has caused more young Chinese to cast__away old thinking of refusing used things and to explore the value of used things. “For second hand items, people used to think they are of low quality. But the kind of second hand items that truly circulates (传播) well is of high quality. Books belong to that category. Here we believe that truly valuable items are worth buying twice，” Chen Tuo, co founder of the company said.
The company hopes for a win win situation in the market, where buyers could deal with used books more conveniently and buyers could buy them cheaply. The sharing of books also means more choices for readers than those offered by regular bookstores. According to Chen Tuo, the bookstore also has a feature online that allows customers to put a particular book on demand, and the system will inform you if it becomes available.
The store relies heavily on data that keep records of books being accepted or refused. “From sales data in the past year, we've observed that books about psychology, finance and self management were among the most popular while books related to tourism didn't sell that well. These data really help us make better decisions，” Chen said.
In a society where traditional books face competition from e books, the bookstore hopes to popularize physical books, and to improve customer experience. Now with two offline stores in Beijing and Shanghai, the bookstore is adding more second hand items to their lists, including kindles and clothing. The company says recycling is not just for economy, but for a lifestyle worth trying.

In the town of Pinecrest, a young girl named Emily had a dream of becoming a professional dancer. She was attracted by the grace and beauty of ballet and contemporary dance, often practicing her moves while watching online performances. Emily's family owned a small restaurant, where they hosted travelers from all around the world. Regrettably, her family could not afford to send her to an expensive dance academy, and the town did not have any professional dancers who could train her.
Despite the challenges, Emily stuck to her determination to succeed. She spent hours every day practicing in her poor studio at home, learning from online courses, dance videos, and attending occasional workshops in neighboring towns. She would try to perfect the dance moves she observed in the videos and developed her own unique dance style, drawing inspiration from the beautiful natural surroundings. Emily's passion and dedication caught the attention of the local community, and she was invited to perform at various town events and celebrations.
One day, news spread that a well known dance company would be visiting Pinecrest to hold a talent show. The show aimed to discover ambitious dancers from remote areas, providing them with an opportunity to learn from professionals and share their passion with others. Emily, filled with excitement, decided to participate in the show, viewing it as a chance to learn from the experts and gain recognition for her talent.
During the show, Emily performed a dance that fascinated the audience and the judges with her graceful movements and emotive expressions. The artistic director of the dance company, who was also one of the judges, was impressed by Emily's natural talent and dedication to her craft. Recognizing her potential, the artistic director offered Emily a scholarship to train at their dance academy in the city.

In recent years, China's second hand economy has been growing steadily. One second hand book platform by the name of Duozhuayu, meaning catching more fish, has gained a lot of followers in just a few years. Here at the book store in Beijing, bookworms are filling up the space for books still in good condition and also at reduced prices. The company operates with a model of buying, repairing, sterilizing (消毒) and selling used books.
Their service has caused more young Chinese to cast__away old thinking of refusing used things and to explore the value of used things. “For second hand items, people used to think they are of low quality. But the kind of second hand items that truly circulates (传播) well is of high quality. Books belong to that category. Here we believe that truly valuable items are worth buying twice，” Chen Tuo, co founder of the company said.
The company hopes for a win win situation in the market, where buyers could deal with used books more conveniently and buyers could buy them cheaply. The sharing of books also means more choices for readers than those offered by regular bookstores. According to Chen Tuo, the bookstore also has a feature online that allows customers to put a particular book on demand, and the system will inform you if it becomes available.
The store relies heavily on data that keep records of books being accepted or refused. “From sales data in the past year, we've observed that books about psychology, finance and self management were among the most popular while books related to tourism didn't sell that well. These data really help us make better decisions，” Chen said.
In a society where traditional books face competition from e books, the bookstore hopes to popularize physical books, and to improve customer experience. Now with two offline stores in Beijing and Shanghai, the bookstore is adding more second hand items to their lists, including kindles and clothing. The company says recycling is not just for economy, but for a lifestyle worth trying.
