留美老师带你每日说英文 第750期:带着偏见看世界

 　　台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

　　I learned that welders² are often smarter than engineers, I learned that knowledge does not equal understanding, and I learned that truth is truth. No matter what I think about it. So be very careful how you interpret things because you're looking at the world with a bias³ whether you think you are or not.

　　我了解到了焊接工通常比工程师聪明；我了解到了知道并不等同于理解；我也了解到了无论我的看法是什么，事实就是事实。因此，当你在解读事情的时候要很谨慎，因为无论你自不自知，你其实正带着偏见在看待这个世界。
