在你把这个论点当作垃圾置之不理之前，或者在你认为对于一个极其贫困、学术成就低和高辍学率的国家而言，快乐是一种负担不起的奢侈品之前，再想想吧。
Before you brush this argument aside as rubbish, or think of joy as an unaffordable luxury in a nation where there is awful poverty, low academic achievement, and high dropout rates, think again.
其实，我不知道任何高辍学，更遑论任何成功的。
I actually don't know any high school dropouts, let alone any successful ones.
诚实准确的辍学统计， 其实并不符合学校的利益；因为高辍学率，不仅使得学校看上去很恶劣，而且还因为它与经费拨款挂钩。
It's not in the interest of schools to have an honest, accurate account of dropouts — not just because a high dropout rate makes a school look bad, but also because there's serious money at stake.
