我很乐意听到我的儿子对他妹妹解释:“我很抱歉看到你因为输了大富翁游戏而不高兴,但我比你大,所以我应该赢。”
Not bad for a seven-year-old.
对一个7岁大的男孩来说,他表现得不错
(Although Fred would caution my son to take out the "but" and everything after, since it tends to deny the preceding statement.
(尽管科夫曼教授会提醒我儿子把“但”字以及后面半句拿掉。
Imagine someone saying, "I really like you, but...")
想象一下有人对你说:“我真的很喜欢你,但……”)。
Being aware of a problem is the first step to correcting it.
首先要意识到问题,这是解决问题的开端。
It is nearly impossible to know how our actions are perceived by others.

We can try to guess what they're thinking, but asking directly is far more effective.
我们可以试着去猜测对方的想法,但直接询问会更加有效。
With real knowledge, we can adjust our actions and avoid getting tripped up.
