The New Way Things Work的意思|示意

There was no guarantee that things would continue to work properly in the future, nor was there a way for new implementations to verify that they would interoperate with anyone else.

不能保证测试以后会继续正确地工作，也没有用于新实现的方法，以验证它们是否可以与其他任何人进行互操作。

Imagine if, while you're sitting there, thinking about things, that you discover a new or novel idea that will fundamentally change the way you work.

想象一下，如果你正在坐在那里，思考一些事情，你发现一个新的或奇异的想法，而这可以根本的改变你现在的工作方式。

But outsiders do at least bring in new ideas; and, because they have not been brought up in the company culture, are more likely to question the way things work.

但是外部董事毕竟至少可以带来新的思想；而且，因为他们并非在这种公司文化的环境中长大，所以更可以去质疑事情的来龙去脉。

At some point yesterday morning, things got uneven, with one shard getting way more data than the others. They tried to balance it out, but that didn’t work, so they tried putting a new shard in play.

事故原因部分非常的技术，但是通俗来说就是这么回事：Foursquare的数据是均匀的分配到不同的数据库“shards”（把它当成数据库的一个分部吧）中，不知道怎么的，昨天早晨，事情开始不均匀起来，其中有一个分部被分配了比其他分部多的数据，他们试着去平衡它们，但是没起作用，所以他们打算新建立一个分部，然后杯具了。

Many people, at many levels, train others at some point - and they have a role in creating a learning environment that affects the way work is done, and how their teams are taught new things.

许多不同水平层面的人在某一点上培训他人——而且他们起着一个创造学习氛围的作用使得工作能够完成，而且他们的团队能够学会新东西。

We also fall into the "work trap, " where we feign "busy" as a way to stay in our comfort zones and avoid doing new things.

同时，我们也会掉进所谓的“工作陷阱”——我们假装“忙碌”以使自己保持在舒适区，避免去学习新的东西。
