If the statistics surpri you, that's probably becau so many people pretend to be extroverts. Clot introverts pass undetected on playgrounds, in high school locker rooms,
and in the corridors of corporate America. Some fool even themlves, until some life event — a layoff, an empty nest, an inheritance that frees them to spend time as they like — jolts them into taking stock of their true natures. You have only to rai this subject with your friends and acquaintances to find that the most unlikely people consider themlves introverts.

ous, alpha, and comfortable in the spotlight. The archetypal extrovert prefers action to contemplation, risk-taking to heed-taking, certainty to doubt. He favors quick decisions, even at the risk of being wrong. She works well in teams and socializes in groups. We like to think that we value individuality, but all too often we admire one type of individual — the kind who's comfortable "putting himlf out there." Sure, we allow technologically gifted loners who launch companies in garages to have any personality they plea, but they are the exceptions, not the rule, and our tolerance extends mainly to tho who get fabulously wealthy or hold the promi of doing so.

nty to doubt.这一句比较难理解，archetypal是原形的，也就是最初的外向是倾向于行动的而不会沉思，喜欢冒险而不是保守，确信而不是疑问。

Introversion — along with its cousin’s nsitivity, riousness, and shyness — is now a cond-class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a pathology. Introverts living under the Extrovert Ideal are like women in a man's world, discounted becau of a trait that goes to the core of who they are. Extroversion is an enormously appealing personality style, but we've turned it into an oppressive standard to which most of us feel we must conform.
解析： Introversion — along with its cousin’s nsitivity, riousness, and shyness — is now a cond-class personality trait, somewhere between a disappointment and a pathology.这里需要注意的是along with是遵循就前原则，主语是第三人称单数，所以谓语是is.
Extroversion is an enormously appealing personality style, but we've turned it into an oppressive standard to which most of us feel we must conform.葡萄牙语入门外向型的性格是很吸引人的性格，但是我们把它转变为压迫性的标准而且是我们必须要遵循的标准。后面是but引导的句子， we've turned it into an oppressive standard后面的to which是引导定语从句，典型的介词加which的形式。

The Extrovert Ideal has been documented in many studies, though this rearch has never been grouped under a single name. Talkative people, for example, are rated as smarter, better-looking, more interesting, and more desirable as friends. Velocity of speech counts as well as volume: we rank fast talkers as more competent and likable than slow ones. Even the word introvert is stigmatized — one informal study, by psycholo
gist Laurie Helgoe, found that introverts described their own physical appearance in vivid language, but when asked to describe generic introverts they drew a bland and distasteful picture.bolero
解析：Even the word introvert is stigmatized — one informal study, by psychologist Laurie Helgoe, found that introverts described their own physical appearance in vivid language, but when asked to describe generic introverts they drew a bland and distasteful picture.这句引导的是让步状语从句，即使在这个世界上内向的人是受人责难的，中间破折号是插入语，谓语动词是found，然后后面是that引导的宾语从句，从句中的主干部分是主谓宾结构，发现内向的人可以很生动的描述他们自己的外貌特征但是当被问到一类的内向型的人时，往往描述的很乏味和空洞。
