我们这个城市的人民危在旦夕。时间已经不多了。我们能再活一个晚上吗?我们能依靠谁呢?只有上帝知道。
Learn to ask for what you want. The worst people can do is not give you what you ask for which is precisely where you were before you asked.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

There is probably an element of malice in our readiness to overestimate people - we are, as it were, laying up for ourselves the pleasure of later cutting them down to size.
在我们准备过高估计别人的时候，可能有一种恶意的成分——可以说，我们是在为自己积累一种乐趣，以便以后把他们的身材缩小。
