为什么基准很重要?
Without a benchmark, we cannot compare anything.
没有基准,我们就无法比较任何东西。
For example, let's say you ate strawberries.
例如,我们假设你吃草莓。
Also you recorded how many strawberry you ate.
你还记录了你吃了多少草莓。
Did you eat a lot, or did you eat only a few?
你吃得多还是吃得少?
If there is no benchmark, you will not know if you ate many or few.
如果没有基准,你就不知道你吃得多还是少。
But if more than five strawberries are many, you can say I ate six strawberries, so I had many strawberries.
但如果超过五颗算多的话,你可以说我吃了六颗,所以我吃了很多草莓。
The benchmark is five strawberries.
这个基准就是五颗草莓。
