个人经验是一个有用的起点，但有关发明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./

effect — 保留结构，替换真实细节。However, an early success can hide a cost that appears later.
/ˌhaʊˈɛvɚ, ən ˈɚli səkˈsɛs kən haɪd ə kɔst ðæt əˈpɪɹz ˈleɪtɚ./
然而，早期的成功可能会掩盖后来出现的成本。
however — 保留结构，替换真实细节。This matters because the decision changes what people can do in ordinary life.
/ðɪs ˈmætɚz bɪˈkʌz ðə dɪˈsɪʒən ˈt͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒɪz wʌt ˈpipəl kən du ɪn ˈɔɹdɪˌnɛɹi laɪf./

/ɔlˈðoʊ wʌn ɹɪˈspɑns meɪ hɛlp, noʊ ˈsɪŋɡəl səˈluʃən wɪl sut ˈɛvɹi ˈpɚsən./
尽管一种回应可能会有所帮助，但没有一种解决方案适合所有人。
although — 保留结构，替换真实细节。The most practical lesson is that inventions should be judged through real effects rather than attractive slogans.
/ðə moʊst ˈpɹæktɪkəl ˈlɛsən ɪz ðæt ɪnˈvɛnʃənz ʃʊd bi d͡ʒʌd͡ʒd θɹu ɹil ɪˈfɛkts ˈɹæðɚ ðən əˈtɹæktɪv ˈsloʊɡənz./
最实际的教训是，应该通过实际效果而不是有吸引力的口号来判断发明。
rather than — 保留结构，替换真实细节。If new evidence challenges the first judgement, changing the judgement is a sign of careful thinking rather than failure.
/ɪf nju ˈɛvədəns ˈt͡ʃælɪnd͡ʒɪz ðə fɚst ˈd͡ʒʌd͡ʒmənt, ˈt͡ʃeɪnd͡ʒɪŋ ðə ˈd͡ʒʌd͡ʒmənt ɪz ə saɪn əv ˈkɛɹfəl ˈθɪŋkɪŋ ˈɹæðɚ ðən ˈfeɪljɚ./

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./
For that reason, responsible decisions define a goal, observe the result, and change direction when the evidence is weak.
