It was evident when I would ask my 13-year-old, "Young man, where do you see yourself in five years?" 我问一个13岁的孩子，“年轻人，你认为五年后你会怎么样？”答案似乎显而易见。 And his response: "I don't know if I'm gonna live that long." 而他的回答是：“我不知道我能否活那么长时间。” Or to have a young woman say to me that she had a lifelong goal of ...
All right, so you're thinking, chores and love, that sounds all well and good, but give me a break. 好，你可能会想，家务和爱，这听起来很好，但是得了吧。 The colleges want to see top scores and grades and accolades and awards, and I'm going to tell you, sort of. 大学看的是好成绩、荣誉和奖项，我会告诉你们，是有那么点。 The very biggest brand-name schools are asking tha...

I sometimes get out of balance. I'll end with this story. 我常失去平衡。我想用个故事结束我的演讲。 I sometimes push too hard.

So we've created what I call this thing of "stable ambiguity." 这种现象我称为“稳定的模棱两可”。 Stable ambiguity is when you are too afraid to be alone but also not really willing to engage in intimacy-building. 它指的是你害怕被剩下来，孤独终老，但又不愿打开心扉，与人建立亲密关系。 It's a set of tactics that kind of prolong the uncertainty of a relationship...

Mapendo, in Swahili, means great love. The protagonists of my books are strong and passionate women like Rose Mapendo. 在斯瓦希里语中马培德意味着爱。我的书中的主角都是坚韧且充满热情的妇女，正如罗斯·马培德那样。 I don't make them up. There's no need for that. I look around and I see them everywhere. 她们并非虚构。也没有必要虚构。在我身边这样的身影无处不在。 I have wor...
As you can see, the device enters the body through the natural channels. 我们可以看到，这种器材无需大型切口就可以进入人体。 Doctors have only to close the catheter through the hole. 医生只需要在穿过心脏缺损的部分后关闭导管。 Our device expands, places itself and closes the hole. 我们的这种器材会自动膨大并找准位置，紧接着修复心脏缺损。 We have this beautiful delivery system t...

Death penalty in America is defined by error. 死刑在美国是常有差错的。 For every nine people who have been executed, we've actually identified one innocent person who's been exonerated and released from death row. 每九个被判死刑的人，有一个后来会被证明无罪被免死刑。 A kind of astonishing error rate — one out of nine people innocent.

Because the chimpanzee would score half right if I gave them two bananas with Sri Lanka and Turkey. 因为黑猩猩能得一半的分数，如果我给它们两个分别标着斯里兰卡和土耳其的香蕉， They would be right half of the cases.

Now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and I'm also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. 我所说的完全不是指社交技能不重要，我也不是在说团队精神没有存在价值。 The same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. 相同的宗教圣贤们今日仍旧教导我们爱与信。 And the problems that we are facing to...
And even though we might help them achieve some short-term wins by overhelping 即使我们可以通过这种过度帮助来让他们获得一些短期的成功 like they get a better grade if we help them do their homework, 比如帮他们做作业而拿到的好成绩， they might end up with a longer childhood résumé when we help 在我们的帮助下，他们可能会有一个更好看的童年简历， what I'm saying is that all o...
