怎樣應用？
我覺得在以上幾句句子裏，我比較推介大家學習一下第2和第3句：- 第2句“Here's some perspective”可以用來搬出自己的觀點，感覺是有點綠茶地說「可以參考一吓哦」，其實覺得自己很對哈哈：
- Here’s some perspective: by keep on saying yes to others, you are rejecting your own needs. （從一個角度來說：一直答應他人的要求，就是不斷拒絕自己的需求。）
- 至於第3句，我覺得很可以用來細化自己的觀點，從不同人的視覺豐富一下討論的內容，例如：
- To many couples, talking about difficulties in their relationships is a difficulty itself.（對很多情侶來說，要他們討論關係中的困難本身就是一個困難。）
