Q&A Round 2
The story of this book is not complicated, but why do you think it's life changing? 故事并不復雜，為什么你覺得它有改變生活的作用呢？

This book is written in a way that reflects our real life so it can be considered as an analogy, which means it's basically like a comparison.

這本書其實是反應現實生活的，所以我們不妨把它【這種寫作手法】理解為類推，也就是基本上相當于比照【現實生活】。

Analogy 類推，類似

We should not give up on our dreams, we should try, we should persevere, we should keep on fighting and in the end, just like Santiago got his treasure, we all can achieve our dreams.

Give up on sth. / doing sth. 放棄
Persevere 堅持不懈 vi.
Achieve our dreams 實現夢想

Q&A Round 3
Do you think if we stick to our dream, we can realize it?

Julie在這里故意沒有贊同Adam的觀點，和他展開了一點辯論，目的是幫助大家看到真正的觀點碰撞和如何進行表達應對，但悄悄說一下，Adam是不知道Julie要埋這個梗的哈哈哈~

If the path you chose to step on is the right one for you, of course you need perseverance.
如果你選擇的【人生】道路對你是一條正確的路，你當然是需要有堅韌不拔精神的。

Perseverance 堅韌不拔，堅持不懈

We need a bit of inspiration but we need something else. We need to be in possession of good judgment too... 我們需要被鼓勵激發，但是我們也需要一些別的東西，比如我們需要擁有好的判斷力。

Be in possession of 擁有
Judgment 判斷能力

這是Julie對于人生道路要怎么選的個人觀點，你覺得呢？

Adam終于按捺不住要反對啦，這正是Julie要的效果~ 他說：

Well, Julie, I'm not too sure about that.

對這一點，我不太確定?！緦@一點，我不太敢茍同你的意見哦~】

Adam開始搬出一個強大的論據，支撐他的觀點——Steve Job's的演講：

If you look at life, when you look ahead, nothing makes sense. It's like I don't know what I'm doing and my life is going nowhere, but then when you reach a certain point and you look back, ... you are gonna connect the dots. You'll see no matter what you do, where you have gone, every action you take, all of them, connect together to make your life the way it is.

面對生活，往前看可能覺得沒什么奔頭或指望，好像說'我不知道我在做什么，我的生活沒有希望'。但是當你到達一個時期【當你獲得了一些成就等】，回過頭來看，你會把那些經歷像點一樣連接起來。你會發現，無論做什么，去到過哪里，你的所有一切行動，都是使你過上現在生活的助力和原因。

這是一段比較長且邏輯性比較強的話，所以給大家寫出文本是必須的~

雖然Julie覺得這些話頗有道理，但還是提出了自己的反對意見哦~ 她說：

I do believe Steve Jobs and great, great people like him have good vision and ambition, and good judgment, maybe from when they were really young so that's why they can connect the dots when they reflect or recall the past.

我確實還是認為，喬布斯和像他那樣偉大的人，都有很高的愿景和雄心，以及很好的判斷力，可能從他們還年輕的時候就如此，這才是他們為什么能夠在回顧過去的時候連接起那些【有價值的】點【人生經歷】。

Vision: 這個詞解釋起來也比較復雜，不光指視力所及范圍，還指人的愿景和雄心，所以給出大家權威的朗文英英詞典解釋如下：

An idea of what you think something should be like
比如：
He had a clear vision of how he hoped the company would develop.
他對公司的發展有著自己清晰的愿景。

Adam和Julie的辯論到此結束，Adam說：
It's our differences and that's what make us humans. 這是我們的不同，但人就是不同的。
