It is common sense to take a method and try it: If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
采取一种方法并尝试它是常识：如果失败，坦白承认并尝试另一种方法。 但最重要的是，尝试一些东西。
“But while I have noticed many patterns, and I relate them here, this book offers no formula for success. The paradox of teaching entrepreneurship is that such a formula necessarily cannot exist; because every innovation is new and unique, no authority can prescribe in concrete terms how to be innovative. Indeed, the single most powerful pattern I have noticed is that successful people find value in unexpected places, and they do this by thinking about business from first principles instead of formulas.”
Excerpt From
Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future
Peter Thiel
“但是，虽然我注意到了许多模式，并且在这里将它们联系起来，但这本书并没有提供成功的公式。 教企业家精神的悖论是这样的公式不一定存在； 因为每一项创新都是新的和独特的，没有权威可以具体规定如何创新。 事实上，我注意到的一个最强大的模式是成功的人在意想不到的地方发现价值，他们通过从第一原则而不是公式来思考商业来做到这一点。”

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
What’s the difference between quarantine and isolation?
1. If you might have been exposed to COVID-19, you should stay home. This is called
quarantine.
2. Quarantine keeps someone who might have been exposed to the virus away from others.
3. You should isolate, if you have COVID-19,whether or not you have symptoms.
4. Isolation separates people who are infected with virus from others, even in their home.
A responsible workplace should create an environment where gender and sexual diversity is respected.
一个负责任的工作场所应该创造一个尊重性别和性多样性的环境。
The abbreviation “i.e.” stands for id est, which is Latin for “that is.” The abbreviation “e.g.” stands for the Latin phrase exempli gratia, meaning “for example.”
In modern American English, a comma should follow both e.g. and i.e. And because they have both become so commonplace, it is unnecessary to place the abbreviations in italics, even though they are abbreviated Latin phrases.
缩写“即” 代表 id est，这是拉丁语中“就是”的意思。缩写“例如” 代表拉丁短语 exempli gratia，意思是“例如”。
在现代美式英语中，逗号应该跟在e.g. 和 i.e.之后，因为它们都变得如此普遍，所以没有必要将缩写词放在斜体中，即使它们是缩写的拉丁短语。
"Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious," according to Oscar Wilde.
王尔德说过：“爱国主义是邪恶的美德”。
These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized.
”The Shawshank Redemption (1994)”
监狱里的高墙实在是很有趣。刚入狱的时候，你痛恨周围的高墙；慢慢地，你习惯了生活在其中；最终你会发现自己不得不依靠它而生存。 这就是体制化。
There are more planets than stars in our galaxy. The current count orbiting our star: eight.
The inner, rocky planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The outer planets are gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and ice giants Uranus and Neptune.
Beyond Neptune, a newer class of smaller worlds called dwarf planets reign, including longtime favorite Pluto. Thousands more planets have been discovered beyond our solar system. Scientists call them exoplanets (exo means "from outside").
在我们的星系中，行星比恒星多。 目前围绕我们的恒星运行的数量为：八。
内部的岩石行星是水星、金星、地球和火星。外行星是气态巨行星木星和土星以及冰巨星天王星和海王星。
除了海王星，还有一类新的小行星，称为矮行星，其中包括长期以来最受欢迎的冥王星。 在我们的太阳系之外还发现了数千颗行星。 科学家称它们为系外行星（exo 的意思是“来自外部”）。
