… That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good … Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives …

whispered“低声的，私语的”；invitation“约请”；forcing“逼迫”；think of“想到”；peer pressure“平辈压力”；it指代peer pressure；lead to“致使”；good“益处，善行”；contend“主意”；positive force“积死力量”；social cure“社会医

治”；official“官员”；group dynamics“集团动态”；improve“改良”。

Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of examples of the social cure in action: In South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool. In South Africa, an HIV-prevention initiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to promote safe sex among their peers.

recipient“接管者，得主”；a host of“很多，大量”；in action“起感化”；state-sponsored“由州倡议的”；antismoking“否决抽烟”；set out to do“着手做某事”；uncool“不酷的，不时兴的”；HIV-prevention initiative“艾滋病预防办法”；be known as“被称为”；recruit“招募”；promote“鼓吹”。

The idea seems promising, and Rosenberg is a perceptive observer. Her critique of the lameness of many pubic-health campaigns is spot-on: they fail to mobilize peer pressure for healthy habits, and they demonstrate a seriously flawed

understanding of psychology. “Dare to be different, please don’t smoke!”pleads one billboard campaign aimed at reducing smoking among teenagers — teenagers, who desire nothing more than fitting in. Rosenberg argues convincingly that public-health advocates ought to take a page from advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure.

promising“有但愿的，有出路的”；perceptive“洞察力强的”；critique“批评”；lameness可以指“错误谬误，弊病”；spot-on“正确无误的”；fail to do“没能做某事”；mobilize“带动，调动”；demonstrate“展现”；flawed“出缺陷的”；dare to do“勇于”；plead“哀告”；billboard“告白牌”；billboard campaign可以指“鼓吹勾当”；be aimed at doing“目标在于”；nothing more than“不过是，不过乎”；fit in“顺应”；convincingly“使人佩服地”；advocate“倡导者，支撑者”；take a page from“效仿，鉴戒”；advertiser“告白商”；be skilled at doing“长于做某事”。
