"We can feel hopeful that whatever was going to happen, which we don't know what it was, that we can rest assured that at least these young people hopefully will be back in the United States."

VOA: standard.2009.12.11

For some of you it may be difficult I know that and I want you to rest assured that no one in this course wishes to undermine or malign religious faith any more than they wish to promote or proselytize for religious faith.

我知道对你们中的另一些人来说这门课会有困难,不过我想要你们放心,这门课上没有人想要破灭和诋毁宗教信仰,同样也没人想要劝诱他人信教。
