  Somewhere right now, someone out there feels exactly like you do. Someone is thinking that things could be better and wondering if they’ll ever arrive. Someone is remembering how things were before and wondering if they’ll ever let go. Someone is missing someone they love and wondering why they had to know loss. Someone is filled with hope and joy and wondering if it will last.
  在世界的某个角落,有人和你一样思绪翩翩。有人觉得生活可以更美好,并思考它什么时候能够来临。有人在回忆着从前,并困惑过去是否能够随风而逝。有人在思念自己的所爱,并感慨为何他们不得不品尝失去的痛苦。有人充满着希望和喜悦,但又担心它们是否能够永恒。
  Somewhere right now, someone is struggling in much the same way as you. Someone is out of work and cash and wondering what might be next. Someone is waiting for an important call and wondering if it’s best not to know. Someone is walking away from no good and wondering if they can go on. Someone is walking toward something new and wondering if they should turn back.
  在世界的某个角落,有人也和你一样处境艰难。有人失业、资金短缺,并想知道接下来还有什么在等着他们。有人在等一个重要的电话,并怀疑也许不知道结果更好。有人正走出糟糕的处境,但困惑生活是否还能继续。有人在尝试新事物,但疑惑着是否应该回头。
  Somewhere right now, someone is transforming in much the same way as you. Someone is stretching into a new role and wondering if it feels right. Someone is reaching for a new goal and wondering who they can become. Someone is trying their hardest to create change and wondering if they’re making progress. Someone is getting ready to take a leap and wondering if they’ll feel more alive.
  在世界的某个角落,有人和你一样正发生着变化。有人扮演了生活的新角色,并疑惑是否会一切顺利。有人设立了新目标,并思考能以谁为榜样。有人在竭尽全力地创造变化,但怀疑是否正在取得进展。有人正准备着实现飞跃,但怀疑未来是否会更有活力。
  Despite all our differences, we all deal with the same things, in different times and different ways. We’re all trying our best, learning and growing, and sometimes it can feel like we should be somewhere else—smarter, wiser, further along, or closer to having an answer. But right now in the middle, in the messiness and uncertainty, this is where we all live.
  尽管存在差异,但我们都在处理着同样的事情,只是在不同的时间,以不同的方式进行。我们都在努力着、学习着、成长着,并时常还会感慨我们应该更聪明、更智慧,应走得更远,更接近生活的答案。但此刻,我们都生活在这种混乱和不确定性之中,我们所有人都生活在其中。

今天是星期二,我们又可以上好玩的“科学实验秀”了!老师带着微笑说:“我们今天要做的实验很刺激,你们期待吗?”“期待——”我们异口同声地回答。老师又说:“那我们马上开始!”  我的内心充满了期待,只见老师将一个大罐子提上了讲台,说道:“这个是今天实验的主角——液氮。它是一种特殊的液体,温度在常温常压下是-196℃,是用氮气压缩制成的。好了,现在开始第一个实验——液氮爆气球。”老师拿出了一个小瓶子,把
把点燃的蜡烛放在一个装有水的器皿中,然后将一个玻璃杯倒扣在蜡烛上,蜡烛熄灭后,玻璃杯中的水面会升高。通过这个实验可以测量出空气中氧气所占的体积比。实验过程中要将玻璃杯倒扣在蜡烛上,但是在倒扣玻璃杯的一瞬间,蜡烛火焰和倒扣杯子速度的快慢会改变杯内空气的密度,从而导致测量结果不准确。因此,该实验还有待改进。接下来,我向大家介绍另外一种测量精度更高的实验方法。  火柴、激光灯、专用护目镜、KT板、培养皿
女儿在学校不认真听讲,上课总说话,遭老师“投诉”后,我把她叫进房里,和她郑重其事地沟通了一次。我一番苦口婆心地说教后,女儿点点头,说记下了。  可没过两天,女儿的毛病又犯了。这下,我火了,将全家人叫在一起,给她上了一堂很严肃的“政治课”,全家人轮番对她说教。我以为我们这样重视效果应该不错,但是我错了,她的老毛病隔三岔五就犯一次,根本就把我们的话当成耳边风,这可愁坏我了。  去表姐家做客,刚巧看到她
