1.The plain truth is that people are most often self-centered.
　　明顯的事實(shí)是人經(jīng)常是以自我為中心的。
　　2.There’s little wonder why young people often find it difficult to find an appropriate role model. No wonder they drink, smoke, fright, carouse and otherwise engage in inappropriate social behavior.
　　年輕人發(fā)現(xiàn)很難找到合適的榜樣并不奇怪。難怪他們喝酒、抽煙、打架、狂歡作樂或者做出不當(dāng)?shù)纳鐣�舉動。
　　3.It should come as no surprise to learn that many abused children become abusers later in life.
　　發(fā)現(xiàn)很多受虐待的兒童后來虐待別人不應(yīng)該感到奇怪。

　　9.Divided we fall, united we conquer. This does not mean that conquest is the goat, but instead that unified efforts yield positive results.
