　　“Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there’s no particular virtue in doing things the way they have always been done,” wrote Rudolph Flesch, a language authority. This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient: “How come nobody thought of that before?”

　　realization“领悟，认识”;that引导同位语从句，解释说明抽象名词realization;particular virtue“特别的优点”，virtue也可以表示“美德”，traditional virtues“传统美德”;they have always been done为定语从句，修饰限定the way;定语从句省略了充当状语的引导词that或in+which“以这种方式”;account for“说明...的原因”，这个短语还可以表示“导致”或“对...负有责任”;reaction to“对...的反应”;seemingly simple innovations“看似简单的发明”;that引导定语从句，修饰限定其前并列名词短语;convenient“方便的，便利的”，反义词inconvenient，名词(in)convenience;how come“为什么”，相当于why;think of想出(主意)。

　　The creative approach begins with the proposition that nothing is as it appears. Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything. Faced with getting from A to B, the average person will automatically set out on the best-known and apparently simplest route. The innovator will search for alternate courses, which may prove easier in the long run and are bound to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends.

　　approach“途径，方法”;proposition“观点”，也可以表示“提议”;that引导同位语从句，解释说明抽象名词proposition;nothing is as it appears“事情并非看上去那样”;average person“普通人”;set out“出发”;route“路线”;search for“寻找”;alternate“可替代的”;course“路线”，也可以表示“课程”;which引导非限定性定语从句，补充说明alternate courses;in the long run“从长远角度来看”;be bound to do“必定，一定”，be bound up with表示“与...有密切联系”;lead to“通向”，也可以表示“导致”;dead ends“死胡同，尽头”。

　　Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer.

　　do起到强调作用;march to a different drummer“独树一帜，标新立异，不按常规行动”;本句的字面含义“极富创造力的人的确是打着不同的鼓点行进。”依据字面也可以理解。
