台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
All of the qualities we've been taught to think of as opposed to niceness are in fact highly compatible with, and at points, highly dependent upon it. However much we are committed to success, for long portions of our lives, we are intensely vulnerable creatures wholly at the mercy of the gentleness of others.
我们被教导的与"善良"对立的所有特质,事实上与"善良"非常协调,而且有时候,甚至要仰赖"善良"。无论我们多么努力想要成功,我们人生中很大部分的时间都是极为脆弱的,完全要仰仗他人的善意才行。
