"You know, we're seeing a bit of a change in tide as things get better, but we certainly felt it for a little bit, but as we're all doing, we're tightening the belts and working harder to find those other dollars."

VOA: standard.2010.02.21

It was astonishing enough that somebody-- but perhaps understandable--that somebody in that situation would decide to take a class on death and then have himself, submit himself, to my getting up here week after week, there's no prospect for an afterlife, it's a good thing that we're all going to die.

某个，某个处于那种情况下的人-,会决定上一门有关死亡的课,然后一周接一周地让自己来上我的课,忍受我讲的没有来世，我们所有人都会死是好事，这是足够让人震惊的，但也许也是可以理解的。
