l
All to often we
observe some parents tend to pursue their
cherished but failed dream
by forcing the children
to develop in a
prearranged direction.
Ironically(=sarcastically), when their
children do not follow their instructions, the children will be
regarded as disobedient. In fact, it is
parents rather than their children that virtually(=really) disobey common
senses.
我们常常发现一些父母总是强迫自己的孩子按照他们预定的方向去发展，通过这样的方式来追求这些父母们曾经珍惜却未曾实现的梦想。而具有讽刺意味的是，当孩子们不尊重父母的安排时，他们就会被认为是叛逆的。事实上，是父母而非孩子违反了他们的意愿。
l
China never fail to fascinate the West. They
can be curious and skeptical towards China, but they have their own
mysterious ideas of China as well. China never becomes submissive
like what they imagined. As a result, they have learned to respect
China’s independence.
—“My country and my people” written by Lin
Yutang.
中国总是能让西方深深的着迷，他们对中国充满了好奇与怀疑。但是他们有着自己对中国的神秘想法。中国也从来不会变得像他们想象中的那样顺从。结果就是他们慢慢得学会了尊重中国的独立。
