英文翻译：如何把事情做的更好（4）

Both of these zones should be part of our lives, but being clear about when we want to be in each of them, with what goal, focus and expectations, helps us better perform and better improve. The performance zone maximizes our immediate performance, while the learning zone maximizes our growth and our future performance.

这两个区域都应是我们生活的一部分，但是在进入区域之前，想清楚我们进的是哪个区，我们的目标是什么、精力放在哪、有什么样的期望，这会帮助我们更好的提升或表现在展现区将展现最大化，在学习区将进步最大化并在未来的展现中将其表现。

The reason many of us don't improve much despite our hard work is that we tend to spend almost all of our time in the performance zone. This hinders our growth, and ironically, over the long term, also our performance.

我们努力工作却没有太多进步的原因，是我们往往将时间都花在了展现区里。这阻碍着我们的进步，更讽刺的是，长久来看，这也影响着我们的展现。

So what does the learning zone look like? Take Demosthenes, a political leader and the greatest orator and lawyer in ancient Greece. To become great, he didn't spend all his time just being an orator or a lawyer, which would be his performance zone. But instead, he did activities designed for improvement.

那学习区是什么样的呢？看看古希腊的政治领导者、最伟大的演说家、律师，狄摩西尼吧。为了成就伟大，他没有把所有时间花费在仅仅作为演说家或者律师上-- 也就是他展现区的一部分。反而，他为了进步规划行为。
