A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
避免
Avoid
I've done a lot of practical anthropology, living in villages with people and realizing how difficult it is to get out of poverty. When in poverty, people use their skill to avoid hunger. They can't use it for progress.
我做过很多实践人类学的研究，和人们一起住在村子里，并意识到摆脱贫困是多么困难。在贫困的时候，人们用他们的技能来避免饥饿。他们不能用它来进步。
It is imperative that we make consumers more aware of the long-term effects of their financial decisions, particularly in managing their credit card debt, so that they can avoid financial pitfalls that may lead to bankruptcy.
我们必须让消费者更加了解他们的财务决策的长期影响，特别是在管理他们的信用卡债务方面，以便他们能够避免可能导致破产的财务陷阱。
I am a big proponent of writing a great outline. That way you can avoid hitting a roadblock. There is no worse feeling than writing yourself into a corner but if you've figured it all out in the outline then you won't have that problem.
我非常赞成写一个伟大的大纲。这样你就可以避免遇到障碍。没有什么比把自己写在一个角落里更糟糕的了，但是如果你在大纲里把所有的事情都写出来了，那么你就不会有这个问题了。
It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.
我们仍然有责任努力避免战争;但是，如果这事真的要发生，不管是谁引起的，我们必须为自己辩护。如果我们的房子着火了，我们必须设法扑灭它，而不必问它是从里面还是外面着火的。
