一个人没必要把自己懂的东西都展现出来。这不是淑女的做派。再说，人们不喜欢他们身边有人比他们懂得更多。那会让他们很恼火。 - 每日文摘

对事物感到困惑的能力是所有创造的前提，无论是在艺术还是在科学领域。

The capacity to be puzzled is the premise of all creation, be it in art or in science.

技术可以帮助我们监测和管理渔业，但真正的变革来自于我们共同的意志。

Technology can help us monitor and manage fisheries, but it's our collective will that will drive real change.

将我短小的生命的树，一节一节地斩断了，圆片般堆在童年的草地上。我要一片一片地拾起来看：含泪地看，微笑地看，口里吹着短歌地看。

我们成功的真正标准在于如何平衡能源需求与环境责任。

The true measure of our success is how we balance energy needs with environmental responsibility.

我下定决心要治好病——我有毅力。明亮的日子，美丽的国度，并不遥远。不过我已经拥有了你的爱情，你的存在，不，这片土地并不荒芜。

As a kid， I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills， vaccinate cattle， and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon， especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club， a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers， we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car， and off we'd go， in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip， I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips， and I hated the smell.

在我还是一个孩子的时候，我的夏天总是在德州祖父母的农场中度过。我帮忙修理风车，为牛接种疫苗，也做其它家务。每天下午，我们都会看肥皂剧，尤其是《我们的岁月》。我的祖父母参加了一个房车俱乐部，那是一群驾驶Airstream拖挂型房车的人们，他们结伴遍游美国和加拿大。每隔几个夏天，我也会加入他们。我们把房车挂在祖父的小汽车后面，然后加入300余名Airstream探险者们组成的浩荡队伍。我爱我的祖父母，我崇敬他们，也真心期盼这些旅程。那是一次我大概十岁时的旅行，我照例坐在后座的长椅上，祖父开着车，祖母坐在他旁边，吸着烟。我讨厌烟味。
