Asking, “What happened?” when learning of someone’s death. I've learned when you get that call when somebody's dead you just say “Sorry!”Don't ask "What happened?"
當聽到某人去世的消息問“怎么回事？”當接到這種電話時，我學會了說“節哀”而不是問“怎么回事？”
Asking someone, Will you be using your senior discount?
問別人你是不是能享受老年折扣？
What’s your credit rating?
你的信用等級是多少？
What religion are you?

Oh another favorite one. Did you pray about that?
哦，又一個我最喜歡的。“你會為這種事情祈禱嗎？”
Or asking, “What’s happened?” when learning about a tragic event in someone’s life.
或者當某人遇到不好的事情時問“發生了什么事？”
Once again, when you hear about someone's bad news don't ask questions just say you are sorry and ask if there is something you can do to help.
和之前說過的一樣，聽到壞消息不要問問題，而是要表達同情之心，詢問自己有沒有能幫上忙的。
If you meet a Korean or Japanese person, and ask them are you Chinese?
如果遇到韓國或日本人問“你是中國人嗎？”
And then lastly, if someone has a skin condition or a facial deformity, is there a treatment for that? Once again, just stupid things.
最后，如果某人有皮膚問題或者面部不正常問“這還有治嗎？”又會是一個啥問題。
Well, I don't know how it came across in this podcast,but when I read this list it was definitely funny.

但是這其中也蘊含了一個嚴肅的寓意。我從中受到的最大的教益就是“語言有著強大的力量。”
They can inspire, heal or make us laugh or they can make us cry, harm or destroy. If you think before you speak, you’ll have a much greater chance of building and sustaining relationships.
它可以給人啟發、治愈傷痛、令人捧腹但它同樣可以使人痛哭流涕、感情受傷、一蹶不振。思考成熟之后再開口能夠在很大程度上幫你建立并維持人際關系。
From this day forward, let me encourage you to think about the words that come out of your mouth and how they may make others feel.That is certainly my biggest take-away and committed to doing.
我希望從今天起，在你開口之前要先在頭腦中對語言進行一番組織，并意識到這些話會令聽著產生的感受。這是我最大的收益，也是我將致力去做到的事。
And remember this quote by Plato: “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.”
記住柏拉圖這句名言： 聰明人說話是因為有話要說，蠢人說話則因為要說些話。
