A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
理解
Understand
But I want people to understand that poker's not all glamorous, it's not all being on TV and making tons of money. It's a hard life. It's a lot of travel. It's a lot of weird hours.
但我希望人们明白,扑克并不都是迷人的,也不都是在电视上赚大钱。这是一个艰难的生活。要走很多路。这段时间很奇怪。
First, those images help us understand the general and specific magnitude of disaster caused by the tsunami. The huge outpouring of aid would not have happened without those images.
首先,这些图像帮助我们了解海啸造成的一般和具体灾难的规模。如果没有这些照片,就不会有如此大规模的援助。
The Marcos era was the golden time for the Philippines. We had the lowest crime rate in the world in Manila and real development then. At last, people are starting to understand this.

People have always found me challenging - I don't know why, when I am only being myself. I don't understand why they find me so annoying but they do. It is pity, but that is how it is.

I could not understand how it could move under its own power. And when it had driven past me, without even thinking why I found myself chasing it down the road, as hard as I could run.
