尽管我是写这个专栏的家伙，显然，我仍然需要学习避免承诺过多。

Although I'm the guy writing this column, I clearly still have a lot to learn about avoiding overcommitment.

尽最大努力，但不要承诺过多，不然你会累垮自己。过分任性会引起矛盾。你赚的还不如你花的多。

Do your best, but don't make too many promises or you may exhaust yourself. Overindulgence may cause conflicts. You always seem to spend more than you make.

这还没有成为现实——但是有可能。(尽管我是写这个专栏的家伙，显然，我仍然需要学习避免承诺过多。你呢？)

That hasn't happened yet-but it could. Although I'm the guy writing this column, I clearly still have a lot to learn about avoiding overcommitment.

We have to resist excessive commitment to this idea of it being a center, but it is at least not a center which somehow stands outside of itself and is a center only in the sense that it is some remote, hidden, impersonal, distant cause.

我们必须反对对这个观点过多的承诺,这个人为它是中心的观点，但它至少不是一个,以某种方式处于自身之外的中心，而只在某种意义上是中心,比如说，它有些偏僻，隐蔽，客观，遥远。
