And they said, "Yeah!"

　　然后他們說(shuō)：“是啊!”

　　You say it long enough, it starts to be a part of you.

　　如果你長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的這么說(shuō)，它就會(huì)開(kāi)始變成事實(shí)。

　　And so — (Applause) I gave a quiz, 20 questions. A student missed 18. I put a "+2" on his paper and a big smiley face.

　　所以-(掌聲)我做了一個(gè)小測(cè)驗(yàn)，20道題。一個(gè)孩子錯(cuò)了18道。我在他了卷子上寫(xiě)了個(gè)“+2”和一個(gè)大的笑臉。

　　He said, "Ms. Pierson, is this an F?"

　　他說(shuō)，“Pierson老師，這是不及格嗎?”

　　I said, "Yes."

　　我說(shuō)，“是的?！?/p>

　　He said, "Then why'd you put a smiley face?"

　　他接著說(shuō)，“那你為什么給我一個(gè)笑臉?”

　　I said, "Because you're on a roll. You got two right. You didn't miss them all." I said, "And when we review this, won't you do better?"

　　我說(shuō)，“因?yàn)槟阏凉u入佳境。你沒(méi)有全錯(cuò)，還對(duì)了兩個(gè)?！?我說(shuō)，“我們復(fù)習(xí)這些題的時(shí)候，難道你不會(huì)做得更好嗎?”

　　He said, "Yes, ma'am, I can do better."

　　他說(shuō)，“是的，老師。我可以做得更好?！?/p>

　　You see, "-18" sucks all the life out of you. "+2" said, "I ain't all bad." (Laughter) (Applause)

　　大家看，“-18”讓人感覺(jué)想死。 “+2”意味著，“我沒(méi)有那么糟?！?(笑聲)(掌聲)
