个人经历是一个有用的起点，但有关家庭的证据还必须包括其他群体和条件。
Personal experience is a — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A single example can show that a response is possible; it cannot prove that the response will work everywhere.
/ə ˈsɪŋɡəl ɪɡˈzæmpəl kən ʃoʊ ðæt ə ɹɪˈspɑns ɪz ˈpɑsəbəl; ɪt kæˈnɑt pɹuv ðæt ðə ɹɪˈspɑns wɪl wɚk ˈɛvɹiˌwɛɹ./
一个例子就可以表明响应是可能的；它不能证明这种应对措施在任何地方都有效。

人们往往要等到真实事件改变日常生活后，才会意识到家庭的价值。
usually — 保留结构，替换真实细节。When discussing family, people should explain why a clear explanation matters.

一个有用的家庭问题，应聚焦于发生了什么、为什么重要，以及下一步应该怎样做。
question — 保留结构，替换真实细节。A convincing view of family gives a reason and then tests it against a concrete example.

令人信服的家庭观给出了一个理由，然后用一个具体的例子来检验它。
reason — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The result matters because it shows whether a response to family worked in practice.
/ðə ɹɪˈzʌlt ˈmætɚz bɪˈkʌz ɪt ʃoʊz ˈwɛðɚ ə ɹɪˈspɑns tə ˈfæmɪli wɚkt ɪn ˈpɹæktɪs./

诚实的结论可能是有条件的：该方法在这种情况下有效，前提是遵守几个重要的限制。
An honest conclusion may — 保留结构，替换真实细节。Good decisions connect a clear purpose with evidence, human experience, and the willingness to revise a weak approach.
