All of us here in this Yard, at one time or another, have seen human tragedies that broke our hearts, and yet we did nothing - not because we didn't care, but because we didn't know what to do.

我们所有在这个院子里的人，过去和现在，都曾经目睹过使我们心碎的人间惨剧而无所作为——不是因为我们不在乎，而是因为我们不知道该做什么。

They know that you get an a not for effort but for results, and that it's almost always easier to start from a good partial solution than from nothing at all.

他们明白得到一个A不是为了努力而是为了结果，并且从一个很好的部分性解决方案开始总是比从头开始容易的多。

Nothing creates a false smile quicker than someone who tells jokes that seriously aren't at all funny – and doesn't know when to admit defeat when the crowd aren't responding.

你的另一半讲了一个根本不搞笑的笑话，其他人没有马上就笑——看到他人没反应他还不知道该何时承认自己的笑话并不搞笑。
