　　人道是骄兵必败。就拿拿破仑和希特勒（Napoleon and Hitler）来说吧，他们所想披靡，便以为自己战无不胜，不可阻挡。但俄罗斯的冰雪战士(icy defender)证明他们错了。
　　They say that pride comes before a fall. In the case of both Napoleon and Hitler, they won many victories, which led them to believe that anything was possible and that nothing could stand in their way. But Russia’s icy defender proved them wrong.
　　干挨家挨户上门推销这一营生得脸皮厚，这是因为干这一行不仅要经受风吹日晒，还要承受一次又一次的闭门羹。

　　工作提供的不只是经济方面的安全。它给人们带来自信；当人们造出了一件具有挑战性的作品并且能够说，“我造了它”时，他们会有一种满足感。心理学家们认为，工作赋予人们以身份；通过参与工作，他们得到一种自我和个体的感觉。
　　Work offers more than financial security.

　　很显然，真正的友谊必然是真诚的、无条件的，它应该建立在相互理解，而不是相互利用上。同样，真正的友谊总能给我们带来一种安全、温暖的感觉，能激励我们前进，而虚假的友谊会在我们成功时利用我们，而当我们陷于困境时抛弃我们。
　　It is clear that true friendship must be sincere and unconditional. It should be based on mutual understanding, not on mutual benefit.
