A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
预期
Expected
Why should we, however, in economics, have to plead ignorance of the sort of facts on which, in the case of a physical theory, a scientist would certainly be expected to give precise information?
然而,在经济学中,我们为什么要以不了解某些事实为借口,而在物理理论中,科学家肯定会根据这些事实提供准确的信息?
I hardly expected the grand jury to sustain me, after they saw everything different from what it had been while I was there. Yet they did, and their report to the court advises all the changes made that I had proposed.
我几乎没有料到大陪审团会支持我,因为他们看到的一切都与我在那里时不同。然而,他们确实这样做了,他们向法院提交的报告建议了我提出的所有修改。
My mother never made me do anything for my brothers, like serve them. I think that's an important lesson, especially for the Latino culture, because the women are expected to be the ones that serve and cook and whatever. Not in our family. Everybody was equal.
我母亲从来没有让我为我的兄弟们做过任何事,比如服侍他们。我认为这是很重要的一课,尤其是对拉丁文化来说,因为女性被期望成为服务员和厨师等等。我们家没有。每个人都是平等的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
