INTRODUCTION

The book FOCUS is written by Heidi Grant Halvorson and Edward Tory Higgins. The author on the basis of Regulatory Focus Theory analyzes the performance and features of people who are in two different states of promotion focus and prevention focus in terms of win or loss, work, kids and so on. At the same time, the author compares the performance of people who are in two different states of promotion focus and prevention focus in terms of win or loss, work, kids and so on, and gives a detailed explanation of how to judge others’ focus of motivation. This translation practice, I translate the third chapter and the fourth chapter of the book.

The third chapter describes the working way of people who are in two different states of promotion focus and prevention focus. People who are promotion focused are willing to challenge, innovate and don’t stick to the rules at work. However, people who are prevention focused pay more attention to details, do something up brown and are used to avoiding potential risks at work.

The fourth chapter describes the parents’ and caretakers’ influence to the kids. Their behaviors and responses to children’s actions have a great influence to children’s focus state in the future. Meanwhile, child’s three self-guides also affect child’s focus state.
