《Succeed》翻译作业（9）
Interestingly, that's not only how we describe the failures of others-it's also how we describe our own shortcomings. Countless times I've heard colleagues, students, and friends talk about how they"just can't stop"smoking," just can't resist" the dessert can't"," just can't get going”on a difficult project. And once you're decided you just don't have the willpower to lose weight or quit smoking or stop procrastinating.Why bother trying? What hope in there for you?
有趣的是，这不仅是我们如何描述别人的失败——也是我们如何描述自己的失败，我们无数次听到同事、学生、朋友谈到他们无论如何就是不能停止吸烟，就是忍不住要甜点，就是走不动路，或者是其他的理由。一旦你决心减肥、戒烟或者克服拖延。你为什么要开始呢？你这样不是没有希望了吗？
