To Be a Small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish in a Small Pond
There are differences between working as a subordinate in a large enterprise and presiding in a small firm, just as there are distinct differences be between being a small fish in a big pond and a big fish in a small pond.
在一家大企业中做下级与在一家小公司当主管，这之间有很大差别，就像大池子里的小鱼和小池子里的大鱼差别很明显一样。
With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization such as IBM or Unilever. You have the opportunities of learning from chief experienced executives and knowing about the standard working process.
如果是前者，作为知名机构中的成员，如国际商用机器公司(IBM) 或联合利华(Unilever)，你能获得很强烈的满足感。你有机会从有经验的首席执行官身上学习，并且了解标准的工作流程。
With the latter, you have greater responsibilities and your decision may bring immediate effect. Normally you are exposed to various experiences and expected to do a great many things without much help or guidance.
如果是后者，你有更大的责任，而且你的决定可以马上生效。通常，你会处在各种经历的影响下，并且有可能在没有多少帮助或监督下做大量的事情。
Personally I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where I am more likely to be promoted. To be frank, I'd rather become a well-known and important figure within my own small pond than swim as an unknown and small shrimp in a big golden pond.(162 words)
依我个人看来，我习惯在小企业工作，在那里我更有可能得到晋升。坦白地说，我宁愿在我自己的小池子里成为出名的重要人物，而不是成为一个在大的金色池塘游来游去的不知名的小虾米。
【高分句型解析】
I'd rather become a well-known and important figure within my own small pond than swim as an unknown and small shrimp in a big golden pond. 我宁愿在我自己的小池子里成为出名的重要人物，而不是成为一个在大的金色池塘游来游去的不知名的小虾米。
点评：这句话运用了比喻的手法，"a well-known and important figure"和“an unknown and small shrimp"两相对照，"small pond"和"big golden pond"形成鲜明对比，使得文章栩栩如生。
