Other aspects of personality are shaped by what goes on around a person. Environment ― the circumstances, objects, and conditions that surround people — also has an impact on personality. This influence is very strong and very complicated. Home life, for example, affects children's personalities as they grow. People who feel loved and secure are likely to develop more positive personality traits than those who are troubled as they grow up. That is why divorce is a harmful social practice that often exerts a negative effect on the growth of young children.
性格的其他方面受到周围环境的影响。环境因素是指人们周围的境况、物体和条件，这些因素对个性也有影响。这种影响很大而且非常复杂。例如，在孩子成长过程中，家庭环境会影响孩子的个性。与那些在成长过程中感到困扰的人相比，感受到爱意和安全感的人往往能养成更为积极的个性特征。这就解释了为什么离婚是一种有害的社会行为，它对儿童的成长产生负面的影响。
Personalities make people interesting. How boring it would be if everyone had the same personality. On the other hand, some personalities are more pleasing than others. What about you? Are you satisfied with your personality? Or is there something ― even a small quality ― that you would like to change? Most people have at least some personality adjustments they would like to make.
个性的差异令人们多姿多彩。一个千人一面的世界该是多么枯燥啊！另一方面，有些个性比其他的个性更招人喜欢。你的个性怎么样？你对自己的个性满意吗？你是否想改变自己的某些个性特征，哪怕是某个无关紧要的特征？多数人都想在个性方面做出一些调整。
Adolescence is a time for personality development, and personality is developing right along with everything else. For young university students, shaping your personality as you want it to be may be easier now than later, for you are changing while you are learning. Think about the personality traits that you admire. Just as an athlete builds skills, you can build the personality you want to have, but only if you are determined to do so.
青春期是个性形成期，个性与其他各个方面一起发展。身为年轻的大学生，现在按自己的想法塑造你的个性也许会比以后更加容易，因为你是一边在学习一边改变自己。想一想你欣赏哪些性格。正如运动员培养技能一样，你也能建立你想要有的个性，但一定要有决心才行。
